Madonna’s New Single Lands A Top 10 Debut Despite One Big Disadvantage

Anytime Madonna is planning on releasing a new album, the world pays attention. The pop superstar is one of the most commercially successful artists of all time, and even though she has not been landing smashes with her past several collections like she used to, the anticipation is always high when it comes to hearing what she has come up with as another era begins.

For Confessions II, which is due later this summer, Madonna is hoping to recapture some of the magic that made Confessions On A Dance Floor so massively successful two decades ago. Recently, the icon dropped “I Feel So Free,” the first taste of the set, and while at first it appeared that it would be the first big single, Madonna quickly announced a follow-up.

“Bring Your Love” pairs Madonna with current hitmaker Sabrina Carpenter. The two released the track just before the beginning of a new tracking period, so it only had a few hours in which to stream and sell in America. That kind of handicap often limits where a tune can debut, but “Bring Your Love” manages to launch on one Billboard list. Next week, the collaboration will almost certainly reach several other tallies, and in the coming weeks and months, the team-up could become one of Madonna’s biggest in recent memory.

Madonna’s “Bring Your Love” Debuts Inside the Top 10

“Bring Your Love” only manages to debut on one Billboard chart this week. The track opens at No. 9 on the Dance Digital Song Sales list, which details the bestselling compositions that can be classified under the relatively vague “dance” descriptor.

Madonna’s “I Feel So Free” Falls From No. 1

Madonna earns her eleventh top 10 hit on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart as “Bring Your Love” arrives. Earlier this month, “I Feel So Free” debuted at No. 1, helping the Grammy winner double her total number of champions. She reached the summit for the first time in the summer of 2023 alongside Sam Smith with their smash “Vulgar.” In its second turn on the tally, “I Feel So Free” drops from No. 1 to No. 10, meaning Madonna claims back-to-back bestsellers.

Madonna’s “Who’s That Girl” Peaked in the Same Position

As “Bring Your Love” opens at No. 9, it ties with one other tune within Madonna’s discography. “Who’s That Girl” spent one week at No. 9 in July 2024. Madonna originally shared the single in 1987, and it was created for the film of the same name, though the cut did not make it to the Dance Digital Song Sales roster until less than two years ago.

Here are all of Madonna’s top 10s on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart.

• “Bitch I’m Madonna” with Nicki Minaj
• “Bring Your Love” with Sabrina Carpenter
• “Frozen” with Sickick
• “Gone Gone Gone (Original Demo Version)”
• “I Feel So Free”
• “Levitating” with Dua Lipa
• “Living for Love”
• “Me Against the Music” with Britney Spears
• “Vogue”
• “Vulgar” with Sam Smith
• “Who’s That Girl”

Sabrina Carpenter’s “First Love” Started Her Dance Run

Carpenter has only sent four tracks to the Dance Digital Song Sales chart, and many of her wins arrived before she became one of pop’s biggest stars. Carpenter initially landed on the list in 2017 alongside Lost Kings with “First Love.” The following year, “Alien,” a team-up with producer Jonas Blue, took her to No. 4. In 2019, Carpenter earned her most recent hit before this week with “On My Way,” which also credits Alan Walker and Farruko. That cut spent a single turn at No. 14.

Carpenter doubles her total top 10s count as “Bring Your Love” launches, and in a few days, she may very well reach a new career high and potentially score her first No. 1.

Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” Returns in Several Forms

“Bring Your Love” is one of three songs by Madonna that appear on at least one Billboard chart, and it is one of two that live on just a single roster. “Like A Prayer” returns to the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. – which ranks the most-consumed cuts all around the planet, though streams and sales from America are not factored into its methodology – at No. 167. That track benefits from not only the promotion around Madonna’s new single, but also a very popular reworking by producer Josh Fawaz, which surges to new highs on several rankings this week.

“I Feel So Free” declines on the Dance Digital Song Sales rundown while holding at No. 14, where it debuted last time around, on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart.
