She's never recording another MDNA-style album just like she has never recorded any album that was similar to a previous work. With the exception of WTG which was more like TB left overs and not a proper album; not a single album was similar to an earlier one. The woman moves along and is not keen on looking back.
Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump.
Don't ever look back.
Oh, baby.

It cracks me up how people have to make every excuse for MDNA other than you don't like something that Madonna did. You act like "oh she couldn't be bothered." I doubt a woman who plans every minute of her day would be blase about an album she puts out. William Orbit may have not even have liked the process, but that doesn't mean that Madonna didn't do exactly what she wanted to do. Whenever Madonna does something you don't like, it can't just be "you don't like it," or even MORE SO "you don't get it." You would rather blame her in insulting ways. Insulting her intelligence, her passion, her intentions, her sense of self...
If people are going to USE this new album to knock down MDNA than they are already giving this new album bad energy. Every album has it's own thing going on.
Is M's next single a "surefire" Top 10 hit?

It's all about the buzz and the previous project. DAD was as successful as it was in the US because it followed the huge Music era, as it was mentioned already. With the bad buzz already circling the project and after a song that had a lot of push (DAD) but that the public in general did not embrace, it was already expected that AL would not fare as well. I also think that the whole Che Guevara inspired artwork may have misrepresented the album. A Marxist hero is a tough sell in the center of the capitalist world. So, it was a perfect storm. The music was less accessible, there was bad buzz, the timing was unfortunate, the video was pulled, her age became an issue and believe it or not, a lot of long time fans were disappointed with the DWT and GHV2. I, for one, was taken aback by all of her seemingly gratuitous aggressiveness. It didn't seem to have a reason or a target. It was like she was channeling Guy's movies but without a clear context. That is, until AL came out, and the anti-war message was obvious. Anyway, as much as it is easier to blame Clear Channel for the commercial flop that AL was in the US, it is not the what killed the album. It may have happened and if it did, it surely contributed to the outcome but definitely it was not the cause.
Back to topic. I don't think it's a surefire Top 10 but it can most likely become one.
