Madonna scores a new top 10 with “Gone, Gone, Gone (Original Demo Version)” before Veronica … More
On July 25, Madonna released her new remix album Veronica Electronica. The project features reworkings of many tunes from the pop superstar’s beloved full-length Ray of Light, as well as one “brand new” track. Officially titled “Gone, Gone, Gone (Original Demo Version),” that cut was recorded around the same time as Ray of Light but never officially released to the public. Many Madonna followers are already familiar with it thanks to leaks that have circulated over the years, but recently, the singer finally dropped the highly-anticipated cut.
Now, “Gone Gone Gone (Original Demo Version)” gives Madonna another top 10 hit in America, just before Veronica Electronica has a chance to chart.
Madonna’s New Top 10 Smash
“Gone, Gone, Gone (Original Demo Version)” debuts at No. 8 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart this frame. The track marks Madonna’s ninth top 10 on Billboard’s list of the bestselling dance cuts in the United States.
Despite being one of the most successful dance musicians of all time, the icon has only reached the tally 22 times. The list was, of course, established long after many of Madonna’s pioneering dance smashes had already impacted other charts in America, which explains her relatively low count.
Madonna’s Winning Streak Continues
It’s only been a year since Madonna last scored a new top 10 on the Dance Digital Song Sales ranking. In July 2024, “Who’s That Girl?” — another decades-old cut — opened at No. 9 before disappearing the following frame.
The year prior, Madonna earned her first No. 1 alongside Sam Smith with “Vulgar,” which debuted in the top spot. That same frame, “Me Against the Music,” her collaboration with Britney Spears, broke into the top 10 for the first time.
Madonna Joins Nine Inch Nails and Blackpink
Madonna claims one of three debuts on the 15-spot Dance Digital Song Sales chart this week, and hers is the second-highest arrival. Nine Inch Nails starts “As Alive As You Need Me to Be” at No. 10. Both legendary acts are beaten by “Jump,” the latest single from Blackpink. That track debuts at No. 1, giving the K-pop girl group the comeback so many fans had been hoping for.
