Hopefully the producers she wants to work with are kinda under-the-radar and such. No Timbaland/Pharells this time, please (even though I do enjoy some of HC).

I kinda wonder...if she works with newer artists, will she work with ones she has supported?
IF Madonna does work with one of the popular girl's producing team, i'd hope for Robyn's team.

happy birthday to you floridagrl! Thanks, Jump. The Queen has everyone excited and talking. Now if we can just get her older tours on blu-ray, that would be awesome.

Considering she will be in the recording studio next month, I hope we willl find out soon who (producer or producers) she will be working with. I'm am so curious at this point and what direction and theme it will have? She is going to make a huge impact regardless. I think it will be out late spring with a late summer or fall tour. I have been so ready. :)

There was a Madonna reference on the season premiere of Hot in Cleveland last night. "Where's Elka" aired on TV Land last night (and can be seen countless times throughout the next week). The ladies end up in Ohio's Amish country, looking for Elka (Betty White), who took off to avoid jail. Victoria (Wendie Malick) ends up spending time with some Amish ladies and feeling comfortable with their lifestyle, and adapting to it. Victoria says, "Look at me, living among the Amish- it sounds like something Madonna would do." The one lady (Everybody Loves Raymond's Monica Horan, who played Robert's wife, Amy), goes, "Who?" Victoria asks, "You don't even know who Madonna is"? The lady replies, "No, but she sounds suspiciously Catholic." Around the 11:08 mark www.tvland.com/shows/hot-in-cleveland/full-episodes

Didn't Ray of Light come out right afer Evita. She knows how to plan it out. Not really...Evita came out in Dec. 1996 and ROL came out in March of 1998.

Is the album gonna be out this fall?
I hope its good. I hope she just does.. HER. None of this trying to fit in crap. Another Confessions esque album would be great. Such a great album.

Yes- I see why Billboard would like to post a music-related pic, but there are better ones out there. The best of recent times is from the MET gala- beautiful, flawless and stunning she was on that occasion.

I suppose Billboard wanted to depict her at a concert related to an album. Always loved that top hat guitar rockin pic. I agree that the MET gala pic is so far the best I've ever seen her in a long time.

COADF was a pretty strong album. It paid obvious homage to the sounds of the 70s (they listened to a lot of 70s stuff- especially disco- when working on the album)- and it did it expertly. She and Stuart were a good match.

If Madonna's next album can sell between these two...I will be happy.
Confessions on a Dance Floor - 1,708,294 Hard Candy - 738,186

An improvement on Hard Candy's sales would be just fine, especially as album sales have dropped since 2008. I really can't see an album reaching close to 1.5 million, but odder things have happened. She really would need a track to resonate with the general public, and if pop radio continues its ageist ways, they would be a challenge. I mean, "4 Minutes" did pretty well, yet it could only help HC so much.

i think this time around she needs (or her team needs) to concentrate on social media, like iTunes, Youtube...and maybe Facebook (but probably not). But definitely iTunes and Youtube. Single sales are higher than ever, more than 2008. She can get those banners up there, and make her videos events again, while putting them on Vevo right away. I would forget about Twitter and Facebook, as that is kinda below her. But I would take advantage of the other two.

I am looking forward to her next album like I am looking forward to my next breath. I am so excited for her new era.
Sales and high charting are great but wih Madonna it is all about her music. She is an absolute genius with so much passion and a strong vision for what she wants to accomplish. Again it is all about her music, great melodies and insightful lyrics. ROL and Confessios are great, brilliant Madonna albums. I would love to hear a mixture of electronica and pure instrumens merged together in her next album - a reflection of dance and ballads ( LAP ). HC in my opinion had some good moments but I want to feel her music from her soul to mine. She has proven to do this to so many thoughout her amazing career.

I mean, "4 Minutes" did pretty well, yet it could only help HC so much. "4 Minutes" didn't appeal to a lot of Madonna's usual fanbase, hence it not moving tons of copies of the album despite being a hit. It was the first time a lead Madonna single smashed yet didn't launch its album notably well. A good number of JT and Timba fans bought "4 Minutes," but obviously they weren't interested in a full Madonna album. And even if Madonna puts out some Top 40-baiting by-the-numbers electropop track and it smashes, it may not sell the album. Such music sells song downloads nowadays, not albums.

i'm lovin' the Swedish House Mafia rumors floating around, and this is one of their singles, from one of the members of the group. :o I can see Madonna doing stuff like this, adding vocals.

Even Amber and Kristine aren't doing that kind of stuff anymore. ;) Madonna could work with Yinon Yahel (Israeli producer/DJ/remixer). He does both club-oriented stuff and even hip hop.
