In two weeks, Madonna will release a new remix album titled Veronica Electronica. The project serves as something of a companion piece to Ray of Light, which is widely regarded as one of the pop superstar's most critically-acclaimed efforts.
Another new single has already been pushed from the set, and it has quickly become a bestseller in the United States.
'Gone Gone Gone' Opens at No. 1
'Gone Gone Gone' currently sits at No. 1 on the iTunes Top Songs chart this Friday (July 11). The track is credited as the original demo version of the tune. The Madonna cut beats several new releases from major players in the music industry, at least early in the day at the beginning of a new tracking frame.
Madonna Beats Blackpink, MGK and Babymetal
As of the time of writing, eight of the spots inside the top 10 on the iTunes Top Songs tally are filled with new arrivals. That roundup includes just-shared tunes from groups like Deftones, Halestorm, Babymetal, and Blackpink, as well as singer-songwriters like Jessie Murph, Max McNown, and MGK (formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly).
Madonna surpasses all of them with 'Gone Gone Gone,' although the ranking could change as Friday progresses.
Veronica Electronica is Coming Soon
Veronica Electronica is largely composed of remixes of some of the most popular songs featured on Ray of Light, such as the title track, 'Nothing Really Matters,' and 'Frozen,' among others. 'Gone Gone Gone' is the only previously unreleased tune, though the cut did leak onto the internet some time ago, so superfans are already familiar with the composition, even if they haven't been able to own it legally until now.
'Gone Gone Gone' Follows the 'Skin' Remix
'Gone Gone Gone' follows the release of 'Skin,' the first single from Veronica Electronica. That reworking — called the Collaboration Remix Edit — dropped on June 5. Now, fans only need to wait until July 25 to get their hands on the complete EP.
