Madonna's EXPLOSIVE new single, "Boom," (prod. by David Guetta) to impact radio at the top of next month.
Said to be in vein of "I Gotta Feeling"

I have no reason to think this will be good, but its Madonna so I'll look forward to it.

I can't imagine Madonna doing an "I Gotta Feeling" top song but I'll reserve judgment for later.
Even if it's great though, I think it's going to flop in the US (at radio anyway).

I don't think radio is entirely against Madonna having a hit. "4 Minutes" wasn't that long ago.

I think the Justin factor is a bit overblown on "4 Minutes". Justin didn't make songs with Beyonce or Ciara huge hits that he was on and "Carry Out" isn't as big as "4 Minutes" at all.

That's all true. However, the Beyonce example was actually Justin's own 6th single and the Ciara song was just plain bad! lol

Obviously Justin helped, but let's be honest: "4 Minutes" was all kinds of hot and tapped into what radio was wanting to play at the time. David Guetta is becoming the producer of the moment, and if it has half the hook that "I Gotta Feeling" did, there's no reason the combination of Madonna/Guetta/IGA can't go at least Top 10.

I expect this to be horrible but maybe not.
For one she jumped on the Guetta train much faster than she did with Timbaland. His sound was already out by the time "4 Minutes" came along. Also, Guetta's sound plays more to her strengths, dance music, than "4 Minutes" more urban sound did.

I actually think Madonna's second singles are as detrimental as Mariah's. I mean she had at least 3 radio hits on Hard Candy and went with f**king "Give it to Me"? She could have gotten at least top 10 with "Beat Goes On" or Top 20 with "Devil..."

I feel like this should take longer. I like Guetta and Madonnas singles have always been strong.

I even think "Miles Away" would have made a better US single choice.

Wow, this really came out of nowhere! Her first singles have done really well in terms of iTunes sales so there's no reason to believe this won't be another massive digital seller. "Hung Up" and "4 Minutes" both were embraced by the iTunes buying public. C'mon radio - Give Madge a chance!

Justin can put hype on singles but that doesn't necessary determine if they are a hit or not. Well, his single with Beyonce was a 6th single that was aimed more towards the urban stations. His feature on Ciara's single helped to get it top 10 on the Hot 100 and was her biggest hit in the US and worldwide in that era. And his current feature on Timbaland's stale track, "Carry Out," is getting more longevity at radio than it deserves to. Madonna had the hot producer of the moment and pop's golden boy on "4 Minutes," so it made sense for the song to blow up. I think this time around, she'll kinda have the producer of the moment. She'll get the curiosity spins and probably decent downloads, but we'll see where the song lands in the long run...

I think "Love Sex Magic" and "Carry Out" both would have flopped completely without Justin, so to say he couldn't make either song "huge" is a bit misleading. "4 Minutes" sounded like the type of club song that was hot at the time. To be honest, it didn't even sound like a Madonna song. It felt like she was taking the back seat on her own single. I like the song a lot and I want Madonna to be successful, but I really don't know if the general public saw that as a Madonna hit.

Right now she's got most of the elements that made "4 Minutes" a hit; she may not have the Justin feature, but if the song is good, there's no reason to think she won't get another hit.

Don't forget she already sent a song by David Guetta for adds in January and it did nothing. (The "Celebration" remix)

Oh, please. A REMIX that's been out for months put out by her old label with absolutely no promotion isn't the same as a first single on her new label.
