I thought this topic was about him answering the fans complaints about the glitches on Celebration
When someone raised the lack of quality control he said he didn't want to pay attention to negative people
-
and Gaga cares about you?
Nor I about her - if she turns shit like Madonna has done, I'll say so. But for now she's the most innovative and creative woman in the world of music - bar NONE

Kylie's Sparkly Tiarra on October 2nd, 2009
Spot on Matt from Leeds. As the reviews for Kylie's first (of many) US tour show - she's the queen of pop not the old child stealing granny. All the reviewers are marvelling at how wonderful Kylie's tour is and say that not even in her brief heyday could Madonna have put on a show like it. Kylie is queen, Kylie is queen, Kylie is queen - yeah yeah yeah
-
because were not getting a video for Revolver?
All of your posts seem to be negative (from what I have seen)
You know Gaga does have an official forum right?
scared to give up that 20,000 post count?
You might be prepared to put up with useless shit from Madonna but I have much higher standards than that. Get real - she doesn't give a shit about you - no matter how much you wub her.
-
As much as I love "Revolver",I'm okay with it not being a single
He didn't say it wouldn't be a single - it just won't have a video which as Miles Away proved, means FLOP for Madonna.

This album just shows the staedy decline of ths thinly talented individual. From the ok songs of the 80's and 90's to the garbage she churns out now. Madonna hasn't been the queen of pop for a very long time, that crown belongs to Kylie who after 20 odd years is more popular than ever, sell out tours in record breaking time and acts her age. everything Madonna used to do but hasn't for the last 10-15 years. She more kinown now for just been a sad old lady still desperate to cling on to whatever credibility she has left, which isn't much. Retire dear you ain't fooling nobody anymore. Oh and Lisa from ireland, it's nice to see you stick up for madge but the facts speak for themselves, the woman is a joke these days.

Her career really is FUCKED.
I doubt even a new manager would make a difference.
*FLUSH*

It was being advertised during GMTV this morning and I expect they'll run it during Coronation Street tonight. I think this stands a slight chance of reclaiming the top spot come Sunday.

1. Like A Prayer
2. Live To Tell
3. Ray Of Light

@ those LOONS who claim the US is her biggest market.
-
Tesco are selling Paramore for £5.97
-
The Nolans are hot on her tail

You must be absolutely gutted that it hasn't plummeted down the charts
I didn't expect it to PLUMMET but I doubted it would hold number 1 for more than a week as it's obviously not appealing beyond the loons and why would it without any promotion.
-
I really don't know why I even bother replying to you - but last Monday she sold 21,000. It's hardly a huge decline.
Except last Monday was one day's sales, this week it's two.
-
PISS POOR - she should be holding up better than that but I'm surprised the single is maintaining an adequate position.
-
I predicted reviews like the NME one weeks ago. Fact is, her sales are equally spread throughout her career with Ray Of Light and Music selling more than Like A Prayer in the UK and COADF equalling it. It's the same with the singles, if you look at her top 10 biggest sellers, they're spread evenly across the decades. However, she could have made the album more representative of her hits by not including the dross such as Hollywood and Miles Away - regardless of what anyone thinks of those songs, they weren't notable hits and things such as True Blue, Deeper And Deeper and You'll See were.
I love one of the comments on the NME site that says perhaps her career should have ended in 1990 for those whose youth ended then

Why Madonna's new Greatest Hits is no cause for 'Celebration'
So Madonna has a new greatest hits out, 'Celebration'. Fine, you’d think – she’s had a lot of them. Sadly, listening to the 36-track compilation, it's depressingly apparent that there have been two distinct phases of her career – the pop nirvana of her 80’s output, and the joyless bandwagon- hopping of her later years. Unfortunately, she thinks both have equal merit.
It would be unfair to say Madge hasn’t touched magic since 1990 – 'Hung Up', for example, is a fine dancefloor-filler. And ‘Ray Of Light’ isn’t bad, even if she was going through her horrifically unappealing "earth mother" phase.
But apart from that, it’s slim pickings. Despite commissioning the most hip collaborators around at the time, (Mirwais, William Orbit, Stuart Price), Madonna's latter records sound strangely cold and joyless, devoid of the warmth that infuses the likes of ‘Like A Virgin’, ‘Dress You Up’, ‘Cherish’ and the immortal ’Like A Prayer’. Hell, even her overwrought ballads from that purple patch (‘Live To Tell’, ‘Crazy for You’) have a certain charm.
One of my colleagues summed up the conundrum recently – if you're at a party and one of Madonna’s early classics comes on, everyone goes nuts. Play anything from "phase two" and the result is completely the opposite: the dancefloor empties, the buzz dissipates.
So while Madonna clearly thinks this collection represents a celebration of her longevity – hence the title - in reality all it does it expose her more recent failings. True, she still sells out enormodomes, but a lot of that can be attributed to an extension of goodwill from people whose formative years were soundtracked by her. There is a lot of loyalty there. Fair enough. But for the rest of us, her career may as well have ended in 1990.
-
completely irrelevant...timescale wise...1990 vs 2009?? so much has changed surely?
Yes and no, she should be doing comparatively the same only by today's standards and she's not. The difference being that she was at the top her game back then whereas nowadays she's sliding further onto pop's periphery with each new project.

Sounds like a Britney reject

Loon appeal only then.

Madonna: 'Celebration'
Released on Monday, September 21 2009
By Nick Levine, Music Editor
Sigmund Freud, analyse this: "Unlike the others I'll do anything / I'm not the same, I've got no shame." It's a couplet from Madonna's 1982 single 'Burning Up', probably the most obscure selection on her new Greatest Hits compilation. At the time La Ciccone was singing about her desperate plight to win over an impassive male, but 27 years later it sounds like a snappy summary of her entire career.
She hasn't quite been prepared to do anything - though she did kiss a black Jesus, Britney and Guy Ritchie - but Celebration portrays Madonna as anything but chicken. The music here is pop at its most varied and adventurous, cherry-picking elements of house, disco, electronica, R&B, soul and 60s psychedelia while rarely forgetting the importance of a big fat hook. She may have a fondness for rhyming "wait" with "hesitate", but Madonna also scored massive hits singing about child abuse ('Live To Tell'), teen pregnancy ('Papa Don't Preach') and S&M ('Erotica').
What isn't here, of course, could fill another disc and then some. It's easy to quibble with Celebration's tracklisting - where are 'Deeper And Deeper' and 'True Blue'? What happened to the ballads? How the hell did 'Miles Away' make the grade? - but everything truly vital is included. Fans will sneer at some of the edits, and the sequencing isn't always spot on, but it's hard to feel short-changed by a 36-track compilation on which half the songs could legitimately be called iconic. How's this for an opening quintet: 'Hung Up', 'Music', 'Vogue', '4 Minutes', 'Holiday'?
It almost goes without saying that most of the tunes are brilliant. Pop doesn't get more thrilling than the choir breakdown in 'Like A Prayer', more provocative than the moment you think she's going to drop the F-bomb in 'Erotica', or more moving than the first minute of 'Frozen'. Perhaps unsurprisingly, in such exalted company the two new tracks don't exactly sparkle. The title track and single is a perfectly serviceable slab of dancefloor candy, but 'Revolver' is the creative nadir of this entire collection. Suffices to say that it features the line "I'm a sex pistol, my love should be illegal" and sounds like Madonna channelling recent Britney. Shouldn't it be the other way round?
Still, the odd slip-up aside, Celebration paints Madonna as one hell of a popstar - a singer who transcended her lack of technical ability to impose herself on virtually any song, a songwriter with a knack for an ear-snagging lyric ("Romeo and Juliet / They never felt this way I bet") and a pop brain with, until recently at least, a seemingly bottomless well of ideas. Sampling Abba, for example, may seem obvious, but who else thought to do it? As Celebration proves, Madonna has always been unlike the others - though it's much more than a lack of shame that sets her apart.
5/5 stars

Sainsbury's had the DVD on sale on Saturday - it was in with the CDs so they mustn't have realised it was a DVD

No ads for this during either of the X Factor shows. Shame that the entire package of CD/DVD sales aren't combined for the overall chart.
Anyone know what the total sales are for the single?
