SERIOUS DISCUSSION regarding the forthcoming Madonna compilation release.


Mattress

Recommended Posts

I suspect whatever the set list is going to be, it will include more than one new song. I'm sure the goal is to put out a definitive Greatest Hits that will appeal to the masses, which most likely include all the songs fans already had on her previous compilation albums/studio albums, yet include new songs which will definitely persuade the fans to buy it.

Honestly, I can't imagine buying a GH's that simply add all the songs I've already had. I'm past buying something just for the pretty picture and such. But if you include new songs, I'll buy it.

September is the best month to release new album, sales wise. in time for holiday season. Just wait and see this album will earned double than any other past album of M.

and her new single should be released same month. like Revolver perhaps.

Actually, I would assume earlier being she most likely has plans to tour with the new song(s). If not, It'll be the first time since "Like A Virgin", Madonna has performed a new single before it's been released.

I said it's MY GH :thumbsup:

They should release a 3 disc set.

Finally, someone with a brain! :thumbsup:

That's such a good tracklist! I bet they're not gonna do a 3 disc thing, though, but that's a great wishlist. And I love that cover.

Aww, thnx! You so sweet :thumbsup:

If you use the single versions/edits these songs fit. To include everything that deserves to be on there it would have to be a 3CD, which I doubt will happen. This is a possible 3rd bonus disc:

Angel

Gambler

True Blue

Causing A Commotion

Keep It Together

Hanky Panky

Rescue Me

Rain

Bedtime Story

Human Nature

You Must Love Me

The Power Of Goodbye

What It Feels Like For A Girl

American Life

Hollywood

Me Against The Music

Get Together

Give It 2 Me

I hope there will be a box set that shortly follows giving the fans what they are asking for, because this Greatest Hits is not really going to do much for hardcore fans.

Mariah's new album has a tentative release date of 9/15.

Same day as Madonna. Oh I see the drama already. Mariah is really quick this time with releasing a new album.

^While I'm sure one of them gets moved around, would it matter for Madonna at all? Do we think she can debut at #1 in the fall?

^ Of course it would not matter and I really don't expect much when it comes to sales for Madonna and her GH. But there will be drama nonetheless ;)

^Actually Madonna never did that. Her single always came out 4-6 weeks before the album, not 2-3 months, like Mariah. And this is the final Warner release, so why expect something new?

Her new single OBSESSED is coming out this tuesday, and her album is coming out in AUGUST.

-twitters who has been already listened to the song:

^I was replying to Isaac, we just posted in the same time. ;)

In the 2 most recent cases, Mariah's second single came around the album release week.

Yeah- "We Belong Together" hit radio before Emancipation was released, and "Bye Bye" was touted as the second single the week of E=MC2's release (she performed it on Idol that week).

I'm not expecting a GH album to be in contention for Numba One, anyhow- unless it's a really, really slow sales week. If Mimi releases her album the same week, ain't no way Madge's GH will sell more than a new studio album.

Mattress, can you please post the Sorry (Radio Version) without the spoken intro and also the Nothing Fails (Radio Edit)

Sure!

sorrycover.png

Sorry [(US) Radio Version] | download

This was only released on a rare, second US promo CD. Remixed and edited by Stuart Price, this version loses the spoken intro, instead beginning a cappella with the Robodonna "I heard it all before"'s. The middle of the song has only a few of the spoken lines and "forgive me" is placed later in the mix (similar to the video version.)

Radio Version is a confusing name for this mix as most non-US releases of the "Sorry" single refer to the Single Edit version instead as Radio Version. To help distinguish between the two, I refer to this US promo-only mix instead as US Radio Version.

Nothing Fails [Radio Edit] | download

The album version slightly resequenced and edited for single release.

The "Who's The Girl" soundtrack version. This is also the video version.

<b>LIKE A PRAYER</b> 5:19 (7” VERSION)

Remixed by Shep Pettibone. Runs shorter than the "Like A Prayer" album version due to the loss of a reverse effect on the opening guitars and a slightly earlier fade. U.S. promotional copies (and U.K. commercial releases) instead feature the "7" Version With Fade", which, as the title implies, is the "7" Version" faded early. (NOTE: This 7" version, while remixed, remains true to the sound and arrangement of the "Like A Prayer" album version and should not be mistaken for the house arrangement as heard on The Immaculate Collection.)

<b>EXPRESS YOURSELF</b> 4:30 (7” REMIX)

Remixed by Shep Pettibone. One lyric is altered during the fade of the track ("So you can respect yourself" becomes "express himself"). (NOTE: This version, while remixed, remains true to the sound, arrangement and overall length of the "Like A Prayer" album version and should not be mistaken for the house arrangement as heard on The Immaculate Collection.)

Listen for the change in the bassline at the 1:05 point of the "Album Version".)

The "The Immaculate Collection" album version.

<b>EROTICA</b> 4:24 (RADIO EDIT)

U.S. Commercial: The "Erotica" album version. "Radio Edit" (aka, Album Edit) --issued promotionally and on the CD maxi single-- was the airplay hit.

<b>HOLLYWOOD</b> 3:42 (RADIO EDIT)

The "American Life" album version faded up late and out early. And fast.

<b>HUNG UP</b> 3:20 (RADIO VERSION)

There are two different "Radio Version"'s. The two are identical until after the final chorus. As it fades, the U.K. "Radio Version" features additional singing ("Every little thing, every little thing, I'm hung up..."). The U.S. "Radio Version" instead goes instrumental. Both are subtly remixed by Stuart Price.

<b>SORRY</b> 3:59 (SINGLE EDIT)

"Single Edit" appears on all commercial singles. "Single Edit" (known promotionally as "Edit" and internationally as "Radio Version") is remixed by Stuart Price.

Second U.S. promo CD features the alternate (and better!!) "Radio Version" (not to be confused with the "Radio Version" heard on international CDs) that runs 3:37. This is a unique mix that loses the spoken intro, instead beginning <b>a cappella</b> with the Robodonna "I heard it all before". The middle of the song has only a few spoken lines and "forgive me" is placed later in the mix (as on the video version.)

<b>4 MINUTES</b> 3:10 (EDIT) FEATURING JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND TIMBALAND
