Madonna has certainly suffered a chaotic year with mixed reviews of her stage antics and Instagram photos all relating back to her age and deeming her a 'inappropriate'. Nevertheless her album has gone on to sell 800,000 copies worldwide which is impressive so far as it is the 19th best selling album of the year along with the misfortune of the December leaks. I previously did a blog on the singles Madonna should release to fuel further sales and hype for her Rebel Heart Tour. Speaking of which, it is deemed to become one of the highest grossing tours of the year and of all time. Her Youtube, Facebook and Twitter channels are also like her Instagram page are increasing and she is becoming more streamed meaning younger audiences are beginning to be attracted by her flair completing eradicating the notion she is over.
Bitch I'm Madonna is the driving force to make her viral right now to get attention with 55 million views in a month = more subscribers. I think what Madonna needs to do in order to attract more attention from younger audiences this year that are addicted to the internet is to use this jumbo packed album Rebel Heart and release video after video. This will overall get her more views and streams. In addition to this, remix EPs should accompany these singles along with potential extended remixes to add to the hype.
In terms of touring, I believe that Madonna should adopt a Katy Perry approach in her future tours, long, big arenas and stadiums worldwide as she can sell more records too and more fan loyalty in each country. Madonna is fortunate to have a huge fanbase in Europe, South America and potentially Asia to maintain her excellent record track. The Prismatic Tour is a whopping 150 gigs and has raked in $200 million on a Katy Perry price range. Imagine a Madonna one. By releasing an extra date as another one sells out will keep the fuel running.
She should potentially get back into the film industry and maybe attempt to crack it again as well as directing. Perhaps making more soundtrack appearances such as the Sia method will maintain diehard fans their appetite until the next album. Maybe whilst directing she could compose the music and create an instrumental soundtrack for herself or do a soundtrack of original tracks such as in I'm Breathless.
Madonna could also release a Christmas album to add to her catalogue of reinvention and fuel more sales during the seasons. The good thing about Christmas albums they are pretty much a guarantee to sell during the holidays.
Maybe more featured collaborations can help her improve her career performance. Why not use the Calvin Harris and David Guetta approach, that way she receives more attention in the clubs and gets her name out there. This is a fuel to the fire approach as we can see Madonna has only done one major released duet with Britney Spears and can stand on her own two legs.
A live album as soon as the Rebel Heart tour is over would be a good idea to add to the catalogue of her live albums so fans can here different and fresh versions of each song with Madonna's live vocals.
A compilation could potentially be a good idea but maybe a bit more into the future. Compilation album demands have steeply declined in last years so it might not sell on the level of Immaculate, GHV2, Something to Remember and Celebration.
A remix album could also be a good idea for EDM Listeners and Japanese fans however they are still not in demand as much but it could be the new soundtrack to the clubs and sound fresh and appealing to younger artists.
