  1. I don't care about featuring as long as the end product is great and comes from her vision. Justin Timberlake didn't make 4M a big hit. In fact, his other featured songs thereafter tanked... The song smashed coz people liked it.

    Plus, she does not do this often.

    All she needs is a little more attention in the US by featuring with some current Hot acts. Then let the song speak for itself...

  2. Nicki Minaj wants to work with Madonna

    Nicki Minaj went on ABC’s “Good Morning America” where she performed a few songs and was interviewed by Robin Roberts.

    Robin Roberts: You’ve worked with some wonderful artists. Is there anyone that you haven’t worked with that you’re looking forward to?

    Nicki Minaj: Hmm…. Madonna!

    And, and, and… the person that I was in love with since I bought my first album, Lauren Hill.

    Nicki also professed her love for Madonna back in November (at 03:47):

  3. "Archetypal" :thumbsup:

    From HITS Daily Double:

    WHERE WILL SHE STRIKE A POSE NEXT? People who have heard the new Madonna album, which is slated for a spring release, are hailing it as a return to form for the archetypal pop diva. What major will Madge and Live Nation, which acquired the rights to her records in a 2007 mega-bucks deal, choose as the releasing label? Those in the know say it won’t go to WMG, Madonna’s home since the beginning of her career in 1983. (10/20a)

  4. Exclusive: Madonna To Perform At Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show, Sources Tell SBNation.com

    Oct 3, 2011 - Madonna will perform during the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on February 5, sources close to the event told SBNation.com on Monday. A spokesperson for the NFL declined to comment.

    As you'd expect for an artist with her mass appeal, this isn't the first time Madonna's been approached about performing at the Super Bowl. In 1998, it was heavily rumored that Madonna would perform at Super Bowl XXXIII in Miami, only to have the plans fall apart before a deal could be reached. Likewise, Madonna was reportedly to headline the halftime show for Super Bowl XXXV, two years later, but backed out at the last minute.

    None of which is to say that she's a stranger to the Super Bowl spotlight. As recently as 2008, Madonna's music was used in a commercial for SunSilk hair products, for which the singer was paid $10 million, according to Rolling Stone. So where does Madonna fit in the lineage of Super Bowl halftime performers?

    Let's take a look at the past 10 years.

    2002 - U2

    2003 - Shania Twain, No Doubt, Sting

    2004 - Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake

    2005 - Paul McCartney

    2006 - The Rolling Stones

    2007 - Prince

    2008 - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

    2009 - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

    2010 - The Who

    2011 - The Black Eyed Peas, Usher, and Slash

    Now we can add Madonna to that list. For the moment, the biggest question is how much freedom she gets from the NFL. Madonna of the '80s and '90s would've been a pretty interesting experiment at the Super Bowl, as no female artist this side of Janet Jackson would've been more likely to push the envelope as far as costumes, themes, and stageplay is concerned.

    After the debacle with Janet Jackson in 2004, old school Madonna would've been far too risky for the NFL. But today's Madonna is a mom more famous for charity than lack of chastity, and a natural fit for the NFL's biggest stage, especially considering the direction the NFL's taken in the years since 2004's controversy.

    She may not match Prince, but she's better than Paul McCartney, and certainly an upgrade over 2011's apocalyptic amalgam of the Black Eyed Peas, a half-dead Slash, and Usher. So, if we can accept that the NFL's not going to give us any relevant new music (like, say, Jay-Z and Kanye West), then fans could certainly do worse than Madonna, right?

    The Super Bowl and its halftime show will be televised live on NBC on February 5th, 2012. Stay tuned for further comments from Madonna and/or the NFL as the news emerges.

  5. If Usher is projected to sell only less than 500k which is about half of what his last LP, 10 million copies sold, did on its debut and despite his 1st single being a #1 hit arguably bigger than 4M then i think HC has done quite fine...

  6. 4M is such an unusual song UK-chartwise by Madonna. It rarely happens that her 1st single has been modestly received for weeks (even descended a bit) before climbs it way back to the top...! Just an observation.

    I reckon it's gonna be one of her massive hits in the UK since most of other #1 digital-only tracks before it were all such huge hits (i.e., Mercy, American boy, About you now, Umbrella etc.) and, unlike in the US, i can't see any other big competitor in the UK chart now ...
