  1. Madonna Shows She's Queen Of Pop In 'Give Me All Your Luvin'' Video

    Ahead of this weekend's all-important Super Bowl performance, the video for Madonna's new single, 'Give Me All Your Luvin'' has been released online. Proving that she is still the Queen of Pop, after all these years, Madonna makes a salient point in the opening scenes of the video, with Nicki Minaj and Mia dressed up as her cheerleaders. The video is packed full of self-reference - she is held aloft by a team of American footballers who lay their jackets over puddles of glitter for her, with the team of cheerleaders never far behind. It's an obvious reference to the hotly-anticipated Super Bowl performance.

    Proving the point that pop will eat itself, Madonna then appears on screen in outfit that make an unmistakable reference to her outfits circa 'Like A Virgin,' which was released in 1984. And in case you hadn't got the message in the opening scenes, she has Nicki and M.I.A. dressed up in identical outfits, mere pretenders to the star of the show - Madonna herself. There's even an old-school gangster element to the video, recalling her DICk Tracy days.

    Whilst she gears up for the Super Bowl performance on the weekend, Madonna has made sure that her entourage keep up their energy for the big day, by buying pizza for them all. A source told TMZ that Madonna ordered no fewer than fifty pizzas for her team from a Papa John's close to her hotel. The pizza-makers gave her a tidy discount, so the treat cost her $467 and she gave the delivery guy a "very decent tip."

  2. Madonna’s Give Me All Your Luvin’ music video – we’re obsessed!

    Posted by heatworld 03 February 2012 15:00

    madonna_m.jpg

    Get lost Lady Gaga! Move over Britney Spears! Madonna is back to re-claim her Queen of Pop crown with her video for new song Give Me All Your Luvin’.

    We’ll ignore the shameless products placements and instead focus on the fact that Madge looks amaze-ING, particularly in the retro Madonna sequence. Oh, did we mention that two of the hottest ladies in rap, M.I.A and Nicki Minaj, are in the video, too? The girls basically make up the coolest girl group ever! We so want to be part of their gang!

    What else can you expect from the vid? You’ll find masked cheerleaders, American footballers (in honour of her Super Bowl appearance this weekend), and some cool rapping from M.I.A and Nicki.

    What do you think of Madonna’s new vid, are you a fan?

  3. New music: Madonna – Give Me All Your Luvin' feat MIA and Nicki Minaj

    It seems nothing is going to stop Madonna reclaiming her pop crown from Lady Gaga. Apart from this flat performance …

    Article history

    Four years ago Madonna released her last album, Hard Candy. Produced by the Neptunes and Timbaland, and featuring collaborations with Justin Timberlake and Kanye West, it was her hardest album to love (yes, harder to love than American Life). What should have been a collection of futuristic R&B was in fact a flaccid facsimile of what everyone else was doing at the time. Whereas 1998's Ray of Light, 2000's Music and 2005's Confessions on a Dancefloor felt like she was slightly ahead of the curve, Hard Candy sounded desperate (if you can listen to Candy Shop's confectionery-based sex metaphors than you have a stronger stomach than me). Luckily, Madonna seems to work best when she's following up a relative flop so expectations are high for her forthcoming album MDNA. Featuring production from Martin Solveig and Benny Benassi, as well as William Orbit, it's shaping up to be the album Madonna promised when she said: "I need to move. I need to sweat. I need to make new music I can dance to."

    As you would imagine, the campaign is being launched in a fairly low-key manner with a performance of Give Me All Your Luvin' during this weekend's Super Bowl in front of a global audience of one billion. Even a pesky internet hacker that leaked a demo version of the single last November has been disposed of (well, arrested and charged). Nothing it seems is going to stop Madonna reclaiming her pop crown, even if Lady Gaga has been wearing it proudly for the last four years. So, is Give Me All Your Luvin' any good? Well, it's not bad. Musically it's a pretty joyful four minutes, featuring bouncing beats, acoustic riffs and Gwen Stefani-style cheerleader chants, but there's something a bit flat about Madonna's delivery. Given all the love she's demanding, you'd think she'd be more excited. Instead she sounds like she rush-recorded the vocal before a screening of W.E. Perhaps that's why MIA and Nicki Minaj were drafted in, to give the whole thing a bit more oomph. Minaj certainly does her best, her typically frantic rap an exercise in squeezing as many words into a 10-second space as possible, while MIA's more laconic drawl loses momentum. Still, the Megaforce-directed video is a hoot, featuring creepy cheerleaders, Madonna breastfeeding a doll, and a finale that involves ripping the head off an American footballer. Welcome back.

  4. POPCRUSH.COM MADONNA, ‘GIVE ME ALL YOUR LUVIN” FEAT. NICKI MINAJ + M.I.A. – SONG REVIEW

    “L-U-V, Madonna! Y-O-U, you wanna?!” Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. are chanting cheerleaders throughout most of Madonna’s new dance-pop song ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’.’ So, do we really love Madge’s new single?

    ‘Give Me All Your Luvin” kicks off with a drum roll and the aforementioned cheerleader backup cries from Minaj and M.I.A. We feel like the women are getting us pumped up at a pep rally for the main event that is Queen Madge. We also can’t help but draw comparison to Toni Basil’s iconic cheer track ‘Mickey’ when Madge’s sexy and edgy backup girls are crying out, pom poms in hand.

    Soon enough, the full beat kicks in, and it’s a dance-inducing blend of retro ’60s-inspired tones (a la Madge’s 1999 tune ‘Beautiful Stranger’) and contemporary elements, like hectic yet bouncy synth, in addition to groovable, hard-hitting drums. It’s an undeniably catchy beat, and Madonna’s high-pitched, hypnotizing voice sounds as good as ever when she croons the chorus, “Don’t play the stupid game / Cause I’m a different kind of girl / Every record sounds the same / You’ve got to step into my world / Give me all your luvin’, give me your love / Give me all your love today.”

    The Harajuku Barbie and the ‘Paper Planes’ hitmaker later step down from their cheer pyramids for their own individual rap verses. Minaj comes through like a bull in a china shop as her alter ego Roman Zolanski as she light-speed raps, “You can be my boy, you can be my boy toy / In the nick of time, I can say a sicker rhyme / Cause it’s time for change, like a nickel or a dime / I’m Roman, I’m a barbarian, I’m Conan.” After a short, dubstep-esque breakdown, M.I.A. slows down the pace as she gets her swag on and rap-sings in her signature voice.

    Overall, Madonna will surely please her millions of fans with this uptempo tune. While some might label the cheerleading elements as annoying, Madonna’s new song has an infectious quality that really sticks in your head. On ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’,’ Madge has once again proved that she can morph and change with the times, as evidenced by her collabos with Nicki and M.I.A. as well as the whole sound of the effervescent, dance-and-clap-inducing track. Expect to hear this one on the radio a lot in the coming months.

  5. Newsday: Watch Madonna's 'Give Me All Your Luvin' video

    Madonna was certainly thinking big for her new single “Give Me All Your Luvin'” (Interscope), which she will perform at the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday.

    Featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., “Give Me All Your Luvin'” is part cheerleader chant, part slick Euro-pop dance number, sounding like a cross between Avril Lavigne's “Girlfriend,” Madge's “Ray of Light” and a Target commercial. Subtlety? You may need to go elsewhere on the upcoming “MDNA” album. Fun? Totally.

    Co-written by Madonna, Martin Solveig (best known for the irresistible pop confection “Hello”), Minaj and M.I.A., “Give Me All Your Luvin'” is an all-out demand for pop radio submission, with its chant-along chorus “L-U-V! Madonna! Y-O-U! You wanna?!”

    It will get a running start Friday morning, airing at the top of every hour on Clear Channel stations across the country, including Z100 and KTU, until she performs it on the Super Bowl.

    The video picks up the football theme with M.I.A. and Minaj as cheerleaders and Madge dancing among football players and strutting over their letterman jackets, before they save her from gunfire (!) and carry her around like the tuxedoed guys from “Material Girl.” There's a nod to her “Like a Virgin” period with a white lace dress, which Minaj and M.I.A. also wear as they deliver their fun, but too-short verses.

    Madonna Scores In “Give Me All Your Luvin” Video With Nicki Minaj & M.I.A.

    madonna-luvin-500x353.jpg

    Madonna has had all our luvin for quite some time now, but we suppose a little more can’t hurt. As we spied in the “Give Me All Your Luvin” video preview, Madge is definitely working the Super Bowl angle, surrounded by faceless football players who are always around to catch her when need be. And you know she’s a diva when she’s got Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., two of the hottest musicians in the game, on her own personal cheer squad. We estimate this video’s value at, oh, about $300. So grab your pom-poms and watch below.

    Well, no one will be accusing Madonna of having low self-esteem any time soon. That hasn’t changed. The video is a fun, playful ego boost to the MDNA superstar, and needless to say, the Material Girl pulls it off with flying colors (and pom-poms!). If we had one complaint, it’d be that we see and hear too little of Nicki Minaj! (But of course our pop Evita can’t be upstaged.)

    “Give Me All Your Luvin” is a little creepy (those masked cheerleaders!), a little campy (well, a lot campy), and a little bit different from anything else that’s out there right now. That’s our girl!

    Or, in other words, touchdown!

  7. Madonna orders workers 50 pizzas from Papa John's, unveils new video for 'Give Me All Your Luvin'

    2/3/2012

    Madonna has been hard at work ahead of her Super Bowl performance this weekend, but she is now rewarding those who helped her along the way.

    The “Material Girl” is showing appreciation for the workers who have helped put together the highly-anticipated half time show by ordering them pizza – and lots of it!

    Madonna reportedly ordered 50 pizzas from a local Indianapolis Papa John’s to be delivered to the workers, TMZ reports.

    The tab came out to be $467, which she took care of. She was also said to have left a “very decent” tip when an assistant picked them up from the pizza chain.

    The W.E. director didn’t choose just one type of pizza to send, she reportedly ordered a mixture of pepperoni, veggie, and cheese pizzas.

    Meanwhile, taking advantage of the vast media exposure she’s getting right now for being the headliner at this year’s halftime show, Madonna has unveiled her video for her new single “Give Me All Your Luvin’” on Friday, USA Today reports.

    On Friday, the singer debuted the song on On Air with Ryan Seacrest on KIIS-FM and the video on her YouTube Channel.

  8. In any case I think it'd be tough for GMAYL to top UK chart this week anyway since it will have only just 2 days of sale right?

    But if anyone cares about chart, I think you should just buy the pre-sale album on itunes for its great deal ($9.99) now and get the single separately from somewhere else (Amazon?) so it will count towards the chart... That way it's still cheaper in total than to get just the single now from iTunes and buy the album when it releases... Just my 2 cents... :)

    "Paradise" is a song by British alternative rock band Coldplay. The song received its radio debut at 7:50am on The Chris Moyles Show (BBC Radio 1) on 12 September 2011. According to Coldplay's official website, the single was not initially chart eligible in the United Kingdom, because it was available on iTunes as an "instant grat" (immediate download) when pre-ordering the album.

  9. I thought if you pre order the album you get the single straight away and that counts toward the charts?

    I can't find the source for that but I'm quite certain it does count toward the single sale for soundscan.

    However, when the album releases and you get the complete album, soundscan will deduct the single count as return. Here's "Ask Billboard" that will explain this...

    Hi Keith,

    With Apple's announcement of the "Complete My Album" feature, how does Billboard record sales when users take advantage of this service? Does it take away digital single sales credit for the songs as it is being converted into an album sale or is there a different methodology to it?

    Thank you,

    Anthony Hesseltine

    Hi Anthony,

    You hit the nail on the head. When you complete your album purchase at the Apple iTunes Music Store an album sale is registered in exchange for a return of a digital track (or tracks).

    Let's say you bought Fergie's "Glamorous" for 99 cents a few weeks ago. And now, you can complete your album purchase -- that is, getting the rest of "The Dutchess" album -- without paying full price (since you already paid 99 cents for the "Glamorous" song). SoundScan will treat this new transaction as a return of "Glamorous" in exchange for a sale of "The Dutchess" album.

  10. Don't really remember reading any comments about "her best work" for Hard candy, Confessions, and definitely not American Life. So it's nice to have that coming from someone rather than the artist herself for this new album. At least she's not proclaiming it "The best album of the decade"...

    it's really getting tiresome, they do that for all artist... best work, best work... hohum... just bring on the music and be done with it...

  11. Very 60's very retro! yet futuristic & very different from what's on right now!

    But I believe this is just demo, not the final version for sure! It sounds kinda half-baked like it needs a bit more mixing. And I can hear Nicki Minaj & Mia featured in there for the cheerleading bits especially the madonna part! It does sound strange to chant one own's name...

    All in all :thumbsup:
