No surprises there, really – it’s long been rumoured, but single number three from Her Madgesty’s album ‘Hard Candy’ has been sent to radio in Australia today. Already at radio in Japan and Canada, it’s expected the track will also go to US radio next week. So far, ‘Hard Candy’ has only shipped gold in Australia (over 35,000 copies) – could it become the first Madonna album not to sell at least platinum (70,000 copies) in Australia? And are Madonna’s Aussie fans punishing the star for failing to bring a tour ‘down under’ since 1993?
Australia's first stop for pop!Previous Post

She’s burnt her fans one too many times here, I’m fairly sure they’ve had enough.
As for “Miles Away” being the next single, I think it’s perfect. “She’s Not Me” is still the best song on the record, but if it were a single it would have been chopped up beyond recognition and I would not have liked that.

It’s a shame that Hard Candy hasn’t sold more – It’s really good – but she should make the effort to tour here!
Personally, I think Miles Away is an Awful single choice! I think that a radio edit of Incredible would have been fantastic or the Beat Goes On would have been a good choice!
