Well we talk about ageism on radio but reading Young Thug comments about Jay Z makes me think the whole ageism is a transversal industry concept. The whole interview is ridiculous and he is not exactly articulate or makes sense at all, apart of the typical rapper's cliches, but his insistence in not buying an album of someone old apart of being annoying makes me think it's something common
Madonna is still a big fish in the pound, so she should at least get a good amount of spins in the first week. Unfortunately if the song doesn't connect the most it can do it will be having a chart run similar to Gwen and Fergie's last songs

Ageism is a widespread cultural problem, it's not just in the music industry specifically. In regards to music, every generation is apathetic or downright dismissive towards records and artists that gained relevance before their time.
That's what makes Madonna special. Remaining a high profile public figure, and never having a studio album miss Gold, 32 years after the release of your first single is quite something.

Madonna to Premiere 'Rebel Heart' Music Video on Snapchat Discover TodayThe "Living for Love" music video is the first to premiere on the app's Snap Channel. Today, Madonna is set to premiere the first music video from her new album, Rebel Heart, on Snapchat, the picture messaging app that was recently valued at $10 billion. The video accompanies "Living for Love," the album's first single, and will be viewable on the app's "Snap Channel." The Inside Story of How Madonna Turned Her 'Rebel Heart' Leak Into a Global Hit It's been a rocky album campaign for the pop star, 56, who has endured two devastating album leaks, the second of which happened on Monday and included the 25-track deluxe version. Rebel Heart will go on sale Tuesday, March 10th, after Madonna performs at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 8th, and the Brit Awards on Feb. 25th. The video was directed by the French duo Julien Choquart and Camille Hirigoyen, together known as J.A.C.K., was edited by longtime Madonna collaborator Danny B. Tull, and styled by B. Akerlund -- who also works wth Beyonce, Britney Spears and Lady Gaga. It was choreographed by Megan Lawson. To state the obvious, it's a major coup for the three-year-old Snapchat, which boasts an estimated 200 million users. CEO Evan Spiegel made headlines during last year's Sony hack when a series of uncovered e-mails revealed that he was at work on an in-app music feature, including negotiations with Vevo to bring music video viewing inside Snapchat's interface. Those talks reported stalled, but the music feature being discussed was likely tied to Discover, which was announced last month. Discover feeds news and entertainment from 12 different companies directly to the user. Participating organizations include Warner Music Group, National Geographic, People magazine, ESPN and Vice, who enlist editors to select stories (which can include photo essays and videos) that are shared and refreshed every 24 hours.

It's already on Snapchat, just watched it. It's fairly simple, but I like it. She looks amazing in the scenes with her hair down.

Ok, let's see... I'm still processing it.... I'm FULLY opposed to bullfighting. Back in the days of Take A Bow it was a stretch already for me to accept the video. Now she's doing it again. She's not this time the woman in love with the bullfighter, but the bullfighter herself. Here she fights the bulls and in the end it seems that she succeeds and kills them all. So from the start and based on that the video wasn't fully appealing to me. Then came the Nietzche quote "Man is the cruelest animal. At tragedies, bullfights and crucifixions he has felt best on earth. And when he invented hell for himself that was his very heaven" and left me a bit confused. So is she in favor or not of bullfights?! The song is about living for LOVE and overcoming adversity, right? So in the video she is trying to illustrate THAT idea or to illustrate Nietzche's quote? Are bulls the NO LOVE and she the triumphant strong woman? Or does she represent the evil "man" mentioned in Nietzche's quote? So i'm still processing what she's trying to say here. Perhaps the whole video is about that quote she loved and has nothing to do with the lyrics of the song? Still not crazy about the glamorizing in a way of the bullfights. Of course she knows this will get people talking, will create controversy with PETA, she'll have a explanation that the video is a art and a critique to society, etc, etc.
Bulls (or bullsh#t) aside... the visuals are nice and she looks great, but I don't like it that much. I would've preferred a video filmed somewhere outside and not the whole thing on that one red stage.
I like her very quick in my opinion references to the Papa Don't Preach video and to Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal video. ;)
And no, I'm not a Madonna hater. I was already a SUPER FAN back in 1985 and I've seen her live several times so that gives you an idea, but that doesn't mean I like everything she does or that I will not oppose some of her ideas.
Would love to hear more opinions regarding the interpretation of the video.

The above post is over reacting and you need to chill take a chance to catch your breathe nothing in the video was that dramatic.

Bullfighting is plain stupid, as is all cruelty inflicted upon other beings. However, I don't think in any way Madonna is supporting animal cruelty with the images in this video.

Wow. This is my favourite video of hers since "Hung Up". Probably because this is the first video since HU where she doesn't go for the "sexy" look - she goes for the strong, confident, powerful SUPERSTAR look. LOVE.

I'm underwhelmed but the bright side is that the simplicity of the video is appropriate for mobile viewing and short attention spans.
I would rank this with the American Pie video.

A simple yet epic video of empowerment , beautifully shot. Moves like a ballet. I love it.
Madonna's 'Living For Love' Video Is The Singer's Best Work In A Decade Matthew Jacobs The Huffington Post Posted: 02/05/15 03:36 PM ET Updated: 1 hours ago Madonna dropped off the music video for "Living for Love" on Snapchat's doorstep Thursday afternoon, inching closer toward the (official) release of her 13th studio album, "Rebel Heart," on March 10.
The clip finds Madonna playing matador to a host of men dressed as bulls in a red arena that glitters like a Latin-infused "Moulin Rouge!" Its imagery matches the anthemic heft for which many applauded the track when it hit iTunes in December. For a song that carries the torch of "Express Yourself," the singer dons a leotard reminiscent of 2005's iconic "Hung Up" and emerges victorious amid an army that stands no chance against a warrior who "picked up my crown [and] put it back on my head" -- a sentiment especially potent in the wake of the multiple leaks that have plagued her new music.
This is Madonna's theater, after all. Football players fawned over her in "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and she gyrated her way through a callback to the provocateur years in the black-and-white "Girl Gone Wild," sleek videos whose self-referential undertones did not double as suitable extensions of Madonna's legacy. Here, no matter the aforementioned comparisons to her 33-year career, she channels the new breakup anthem for something else: Madonna presents herself as queen of the big top without relying on allusions to her own résumé to prove she is the master of the postmodern pop scene. She uses her ongoing prowess to vanquish the beasts who grunt and shove their way across her stage. This is the Madonna video we've waited a decade for, and it hails from what sounds like the makings of the Madonna album we've anticipated for just as long.
As of now, you'll have to head to Snapchat's Discover page to watch the "Living for Love" clip, which was directed by French duo Julien Choquart and Camille Hirigoyen, otherwise known as J.A.C.K., and edited by Danny B. Tull, who worked on "4 Minutes" and several other Madonna videos. HuffPost Entertainment will embed the video here as soon as it appears online.

Ahhhh omg I love that she randomly dropped the video on Snapchat. What a cool idea. Now I have finally found one good thing to come out of this new fancy update that Snapchat did a couple weeks ago that I didn't particularly care for. But back to the video: I LOVE IT. The sound effects I could've done without, but I love everything else about it. The use of the color red was very visual appealing and I liked the bull fighting theme with her costumes and the male dancers. Madonna looks stunning in it, too.

The video is fine, however I HATE it for this particular song. Just doesn't fit one bit to me. This is such an amazing song and feel good anthem, I wanted a video that felt joyous and empowering too. This kinda feels like a dark and moody vid she would've done for one of the Erotica singles or something.
