Considering how successful Ray Of Light and Music albums were, plus way more modern than Madonna‘s 80s albums, one may expect their leading hits to be strong digital sellers. They aren’t. Frozen is disappointing, so is Music song.
Ray Of Light too. It is not uncommon at all to see past classics well over 1 million downloads, but those songs are well under that mark. Since this format is now disappearing, they will likely never make it.
Your numbers for sales before 2010 are so incomplete! I can’t believe you’re spreading false information this way! Some of Madonna physical singles even sold twice what you wrote they did! You should really contact her Record Labels to get the real info but not sure they have it available to get it to you (if they are lazy to even re-certify albums that sold multiple platinums more in some countries (for over 3 decades) I wouldn’t be that helpfull. Some of your single sales for Madonna are just US + UK and a little more sales (when those singles… Read more »
Why don’t you post your sources for these sales? If you have the “correct” information, then provide the sources to back it up.
Imo LIB was the most commercially successful Madonna single.

He said La Isla Bonita is Madonna’s most successful single, Not all time best.
You ARE SO BIASED!
Maybe that’s what he meant but the last paragraph does state “the most commercially successful single of all time”, not her most successful.
After reading Madonna’s popularity analisys, the first thought I have is what if Youtube and Spotify would be exist since 1985, and the instant reply is that she would be still the biggest female artist of all times, easily in the top 3. Beside, she is the most pirated artist in all times (leaked albums, black market, piracy), countless unofficial channels in Youtube with her videos, shows, performances with dismissed views, etc.
