A film or a series? Madonna He hesitates so much his life, which has multiplied the twists and turns, deserves to be told with the most completeness. On Instagram, the Queen of Pop with 300 million albums sold assures that her legendary status has unfortunately not allowed her to convince Hollywood producers with her biopic project, in development for years: “ After struggling for days in Los Angeles, listening to producers and agents tell me why I couldn’t make my film, which I’ve been working on for four years, that I have to reduce the pace and think smaller, I went realized that every aspect of my life was going to be put to the test “. A new challenge that pushes Madonna has ” think outside the box » : « I don’t have a normal life, so I can’t do this normally » : « We all agreed that we need to be even braver! Art = survival. We can’t shrink ourselves and make ourselves smaller ».

An artist more than “Popular”
In the meantime, the dense repertoire of Madonna continues to be popular. On Spotify, she is the 94th most listened to artist in the world with 38.1 million monthly listeners. And for the first time in his career, one of his titles exceeds the milestone of one billion streams. Surprise, it’s not one of the emblematic hits of her career like “Like a Virgin”, “Holiday” or “Vogue” but a piece where she appears… featuring. Namely “Popular”! Indeed, The Weeknd’s title, and also shared with rapper Playboi Carti, comes from the soundtrack of the sulphurous series “The Idol”.
If it got off to a rather positive start without really exploding the charts, the song has established itself over the months thanks to tens, even hundreds of thousands of streamed plays. Until today we exceed this fateful threshold of one billion. However, Madonna will have to wait a little before repeating the feat solo since his second most popular song, “Like a Prayer”, “only” 539 million plays on Spotify. Among his other most listened to tracks on the platform, we find “Hung Up”, “La Isla Bonita”, “Material Girl” (returned in force thanks to “Stranger Things”) and “Frozen”.
Note that “Popular” allowed Madonna to break a series of records in the charts. By landing 43rd place in the United States, her best ranking since “Give Me All Your Luvin” in 2012, the Queen of Pop became the second singer after Cher to have songs ranked in five different decades. Ditto in the United Kingdom where, by reaching 10th place, Madonna extended his record as the artist with the most UK top 10 singles (64 songs!). In France, “Popular” never rose above 77th place in the charts but was certified platinum for more than 30 million plays. For his part, The Weeknd inscribes his name even more in history since “Popular” is his 24th song to exceed one billion streams on Spotify. The hits “Pray for Me” and “In Your Eyes” will soon join this circle.
