If the midweeks are to be believed, Madonna is set to bomb fantastically on the UK singles chart this weekend with her latest single "Miles Away." Both the Tuesday and Wednesday reports show it making the top 40 but just barely. Pity, for it's a great track--a real highlight on Hard Candy.
Have you seen the video for the song? Didn't think so. Despite being known as a top-rate video maker, Madonna has curiously decided not to do a video for Miles Away. Too busy finalizing that divorce I suppose.
Unless it rebounds, landing outside the top 30 will make "Miles Away" Madonna lowest charting single on the UK chart ever. Her previous low points were "Take a Bow" in 1994 and "Oh Father" in 1996, which both peaked at #16.
In the US, she's unfortunately become accustomed to not doing well on the Hot 100, as most of her recent singles have not fared well. While "4 Minutes" was a big hit #3 hit and "Hung Up" made a respectable #7, "Give It 2 Me" topped out at #57, just above "Sorry," which peaked at #58," and "Get Together," "Jump," "Nothing Fails," "Love Profusion," and "Holiday" all failed to crack the Hot 100 at all.
