Chart Preview: "Ghosttown" on The Adult Contemporary Chart (Week of 5/9/2015)

On this week's Adult Contemporary chart (to be officially announced tomorrow, Thursday, along with the rest of the week's charts), "Ghosttown" holds at #20 from last week (it fell from #18 the week before). The song had 227 spins at AC with 2.656 million audience.

Elsewhere, "Ghosttown" is #2 on the Adult Top 40 'New and Active' list (kind of a bubbling-under tally). This is not an official chart appearance on the Adult Top 40 chart, it just shows that the song is actively gaining at the Adult Top 40 radio format. If "Ghosttown" keeps gaining, it could debut on this chart as well.

"Ghosttown" Remixes On The Way To iTunes (Updated)

Various Madonna fan sites are reporting that the "Ghosttown" remixes will finally be released to iTunes in Mid-day, specifically May 12th. Also, a few of the new remixes have now been uploaded to Madonna's YouTube channel. In related news, the "Ghosttown" 2-track CD single was released in Europe last week (pre-order the import in the USA here). As usual nowadays, no USA physical formats will be released.

'Rebel Heart' Favorite Songs Poll Results

I've been running a little poll for the last 2 months or so asking you all to vote for your favorite songs from Rebel Heart. You were allowed to vote for as many songs from the album as you wanted. A total of 244 people voted.

The clear favorite is "Ghosttown" with a total of 188 votes (77% of voters). Coming in at #2 is "Joan Of Arc" with 131 votes, followed by "Living For Love" with 126, "Rebel Heart" with 112, and "Devil Pray" with 104.

Bringing up the rear as the least-favorite songs are "Queen" with 41 votes (when I started the poll, it was believed that "Queen" would be on the album. The song was dropped from the track list before the album's release), "Graffiti Heart" with 33 votes, "S.E.X." with 25 votes (my personal least-favorite song!),  and German-only bonus track "Auto-Tune Baby" is the #1 least-favorite with only 23 votes.

Here's a look at the complete rankings:
