Here are all the eligible categories:

Record, Album, Song of The Year

Pop Solo, Pop Duo/Group, Pop Vocal Album

Recording Package

Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package

Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical

Best Remixed Recording

Best Music Video

What about Dance/electronic album...I know only a few songs are dance tracks, but wondering if it can be submitted in multiple categories. Plus she’s got two #1s on the dance charts for MX.

She hasn’t had a nomination since Revolver won in 2010 correct?

Revolver won?!

[“God Control” thread]

Anyone know why it’s not available for purchase in the iTunes Store?

I am torn between Batuka and EO being the best song off MX. Batuka is soooo good and the video even managed to uplift it!!!!

I always have these songs in my head and find myself humming them! Still, not sure if they’re my favorite, but they’ve embedded themselves in my head!

Who is he?

American singer most popular in the ‘60s. “Breaking up is hard to do” was one of his most popular songs you might recognize.

Great review! Thanks for sharing. Maybe let’s add to the review section.

[“Batuka” music video]

The Billboard article about Batuka also mentions that this is the sixth video “so far” (Refinery 29 makes the same mention). I wonder if we’re in for even more?!

No

Exactly. This is her artistic decision. It is purposeful and adds to the overall effect. 

[Your Favorite Madame X Song At This Moment (does it keep changing?)!]

Fave is God Control still, but I always seem to have Extreme Occident or Crazy on my mind. I start humming them randomly.

I wish there could be connecting videos for each of these too so it could all be one chronological visual album. Mm!!!

Still praying for this.

[Madame X - MEGARATE [Results Show - Recap on first page]]

Thanks for doing this! Lots of fun. I’m predicting that God Control will be #1. Everything else is a crap shoot, because there’s a lot to love on this album.

It's wrong on some editions and correct in others..

 

Interesting. Mine is regular vinyl (2 disc)

Does your vinyl skip a ton on side A? It's my only record that does that

No I didn’t experience that. But I noticed the track list on side A is wrong. It lists Future, but it actually starts on side B. 

[Madame X formats/boxset discussion continued]

Nothing like vinyl!

 

[Madonna - World of Madame X (Documentary on Amazon Prime)]

I’m still hoping that the other characters she embodies in the teaser/documentary (nun, accordionist, spy...) are part of future videos and weren’t only for a photo shoot . The looks are so good not to see more of them!

I think it will be ignored as always.

this album deserves all the prizes of the world, but Madonna is not Beyoncé or Gaga..

I do not think it will surprise us that they do not nominate her, 

a record sung in Spanish.  Portuguese, reggeton, fado ... awarded by the American industry?  

I really see it almost impossible ... I wish I was wrong.

 

It won’t surprise me if she’s not nominated, but I’d still be disappointed. The Grammys (Shammys) and mainstream media have never fully embraced truly progressive music. “Like a Prayer” should’ve at least been nominated but received no recognition. Now it’s considered as one of many examples of how out of touch the Grammys are. And how safe they tend to vote (Think Bruno Mars’ win over Kendrick Lamar) Always behind the times and beholden to popularity, viewership and money. What else is new.

[Madonna - World of Madame X (Documentary on Amazon Prime)]

Makes me appreciate the album that much more, if that’s even possible.

Lol  

Such a strong work ethic. No time for a trip to the loo.

It’s not a hi res pic so hard to see what’s really going on. And honestly who cares. 

[Madame X - MEGARATE (Submissions closed - Results soon)]

Done!

[Great new Madonna interview with Mojo (Edit: Added the missing page!)]

So Mojo is a 4-star system, looking at the section with previous albums?

It's on a par with ROL and confessions for me. Amazing piece of work. Pure Madonna, finally. 

I’m thinking this too. But time will tell.

The Mojo review won't be posted online? Also- M is interviewed in the August edition, but it doesn't say the album's reviewed, unless the review appears within the interview article.

Someone mentioned it would be published on the 25th.

[STREAMING/SALES strategy and discussion]

I saw very few copies at my local Target in the new music section. Hopefully that’s a good sign. Ultimately it’s not that important IMO, but it’s nice to see our Queen at the top. I’m streaming on Spotify pretty much all day long.
