  1. Given that collabs are basically a necessity in this current era of music in order to sell and create hype, especially for an act who has been active for 36+ years and is in her 60s... which current pop stars WOULD all you naysayers actually be happy for M to collaborate with? And I mean those who actually sell music and can generate streams in this current market too.

  2. I know nostalgia is a bad word around here, but I'd love Madonna to do similar to what MJ did at the 1995 VMAs... open the show with a 10-minute medley of her greatest hits (bring in JT for 4 Minutes, Nicki for BIM for example) and then perform her new single to close the show. It will get headlines, YouTube views with the featured acts, plus remind everyone under 25 where she came from. Then release the album that week. 

    And before anyone says that no-one watches the VMAs any more, it's still a great platform to launch a new era and it certainly can't hurt!

    Maybe she was testing the single there and they have seen all reactions - even here most agree that BL (as far as it can be heard) is not 1st single material? Maybe she decided to shelve it and concentrate on another song being the 1st single? I think she wants the first single to have the impact that Frozen/HU had eventually... But again there was too little to have a strong opinion on the song: did we even heard the chorus or was it a pre-chorus???  Maybe it was never intended to be a 1st single and it simply fitted the show??? Anyways, so many possibilities and in reality we have zero info what BL was intended for.  

    We haven't heard it though, we've heard a verse recorded on a smart phone at a live event which wasn't meant to be publicly seen. We have no idea if it's 1st single material, or ever intended to be. We know nothing! :lol:

    So "Frozen" meets "Ghosttown"?

  5. Here's what I'd love to see, but it will never happen!

    • NO LEAKS PLEASE! HIDE EVERYTHING MADONNA, DON'T GIVE A COPY TO DAVID TO LISTEN TO ON THE WAY TO SOCCER PRACTICE!!!
    • No pre-orders or instant grat pre-release single on iTunes. 4 or 5 "teaser" video clips about 10-15 seconds each before a music video release of the lead single. Video on Vevo a few hours before the single is released to iTunes. Have the single, plus a remix bundle ready to go on sale, include a newly commissioned remix of one or two Madonna classics in this bundle as an "Album Only" exclusive.
    • The next day, add only the single to Spotify/Tidal/Apple Music streaming, not the remixes (add those the following week, making them iTunes exclusives for a time). Release a new exclusive remix of the single each week for the next 4 weeks to keep sales ticking along. 
    • Release some format of physical single. A 7", a CD single, a 12" vinyl, a Picture Disc, whatever, something or everything - fans are going to buy whatever is released, get stuff out there ready for us to buy and collect! A huge chunk of her fanbase now aren't massive music streamers or digital purchasers, vinyl is king again now, so give us vinyl to buy!
    • Start an online/TV/print hype campaign for the album a month before the album release. New photoshoots, maybe a high profile endorsement with the new single attached to it? Surprise TV appearances on some late night shows/music awards/Ellen/whatever. Not overkill, just a couple in the US, UK, Germany, France and finally Australia and Japan. Interviews or exclusive performances, of course perform the new single along with a Madonna classic or two.
    • When the album is ready for release, give us the whole box and dice. Follow a path similar to Kylie and her "Golden" album, have the album available in loads of formats and bundles, each with it's own exclusive. This will push sales, whilst keeping loons like me happy collecting all sorts of different things :)

    That's just a few ideas which would make things fun!
