Ghosttown (2015)



FORMATS: Digital Download


HISTORY AND NOTES:
"Ghosttown" was the second single released from Rebel Heart. As an immediate fan favorite, many had high hopes for "Ghosttown"'s success on radio and the charts. Unfortunately, even with a well-received video and some TV performances, the song fell short of even appearing on the Bubbling Under Hot 100. However, several remixes helped it to become Madonna's record-setting 45th #1 hit on the Dance Club Songs chart (Madonna now has more #1's than any other artist on any singular chart). No physical formats of the single were released in the USA except for an extremely limited promo CD-R.

Elsewhere, "Ghosttown" returned Madonna to the Adult Top 40 chart for a brief 2-week stay, but its strongest showing was on the Adult Contemporary chart where it peaked at #18 and had a healthy 12-week run.

  1. What's the point if the Twitter chart ? Will it count as streaming ? Seems it only works for other artists ..not Madonna.. that's US HOT 100 corruption charts.

  2. Top Twitter Tracks ranks by number of mentions and shares, so it's not streaming.

    Though it spent just two weeks in the 40-position Adult Top 40 chart, "Ghosttown" spent a number of weeks in the 41-50 range before reaching the top 40 (listed as New & Active for several weeks via BDS).
