    The album could very well flop commercially, but one thing I'm not too worried about is quality. Madge is many things, but lazy is not one of them. The length of time between albums has gotten longer bc her life is filled with a lot more than it was in the 80s (6! kids, major side product lines, major humanitarian assistance programs). Even her lowest-quality output has been pretty fricking amazing compared to other artists at this stage in their careers. American Life was seen as a flop commercially but is one of her best-loved albums by fans. Trust in M. It'll come when it'll come, and it'll be quality.

    This. I agree one hundred percent.

    But let me point out something about AL. The album was spectacular.

    But the lead single was poorly chosen, in my opinion. So many incredible songs, and American Life to me, was the weakest track, or one of the weakest. But I'm sure I'll enjoy the album, and it's gonna be great regardless. But I'd love to see other people having a similar good experience on some level.

    If garlic sauce can get nominated for an Oscar, Madonna can get a hit single. No more talk about her being 60.

    Indeed. But as you know garlic sauce got a whole machinery behind her, somehow. I'm not saying Madonna needs that, though.

    I'd love to hear the song right now. But I know it's in Madonna's best interest to wait until everything's ready.

    I m guessing if the lead single was bombastic=surefire hit single, your source would have mentioned it? And if a greater track is on the album instead of getting released and making the best impression, I ll be really mad. Since HC she hasn't released the best songs on the albums as singles!!!! Horrible track record after leaving WB. Whoever chooses the singles, does a terrible job!

    This.

    I was gobsmacked when they didn't release Rebel Heart as a single.. I mean, it's a really strong song imo, and it's the title track. Unreal..

    Hopefully this time will be different.

    But the only reason it hasn't worked in her favour is that she hasn't done it. The Music video wasn't really controversial. The AL video didn't even come out (as you pointed out) and the song didn't just flop because of the video anyway but because it was generally considered to be a sub-par single. 

    The only video remotely resembling controversial since then is Girl Gone Wild, and it wasn't actually controversial at all. I would argue that when she's actually released a truly controversial video (Like a Prayer, Erotica), it more or less has worked in her favour. It's just been an eternity since she last did that.

    I'm really happy if we're about to witness the comeback of political M videos. She needs a Youtube hit and if done well, this is the way to get it, just ask Childish Gambino.

    You're absolutely right

    She hasn't explored this approach very much recently. Of course, it has to be done very carefully and correctly. It's not an easy thing to do.

    When was the last time she tried this strategy though? I don't think she's released a bona fide controversial video in over a decade, possibly since American Life.

    Yeah, and that one didn't come out.

    I think the last time it worked in her favor was the Music video, and still the controversy there was a little mild....compared to other things she did previously.

    Whatever it is I hope it works. Imagine if it is LGBT related. She'd get the support of the whole community.

    *fingers crossed*

    She has  nothing to loose aka she s more free to not  give  fucks than ever

    Absolutely. I'm just hoping for quality for myself. I don't really care what other people think.

    Agree. And we can do our part that first week!! After we buy the song on iTunes,  we all must stream it on Spotify/Apple Music on repeat (even when you are away from your laptop/cell having lunch, dinner, or asleep) just leave your device on. 🙂 Same with YouTube, WE can create a four songs YouTube playlist that we can all access and play on repeat where Madonna's new video appear twice sandwiched between two other top on the charts similar songs, so in time M's video gets recommended when the other two are played by anyone!! 🙂 

    I don't know about the other services for sure, but on YouTube they are disregarding the views when they are suspiciously repeated.

    I tried doing that to one of my videos, and after playing it on repeat, eventually they cut the views back to just one. So, I'm not really sure if it's worth it to try to fake it like that.

    The best we can do IMO, is spread the word. Just post on message boards, twitter, instagram etc..Get real people excited about the music.

    With the right promotion, buzz and streaming it IS possible. Even unknown artists are able to get a US #1.

    It's an ageist society. I'd say is possible, because anything is possible. But it will be an uphill battle to get the record played, even if it is really good.

    I think Madonna will have to make a BIG compromise, to get her single to be #1 in the US.

    The right people, A LOT of money. Both from her record company and herself. A lot of fucking promotion. The perfect strategy. And all of that on top of having the perfect song as a single. I'd love to see it happen, but I'm not taking it for granted. If it happens I'll be so happy, and if it doesn't...it's fine. I don't necessarily care about what other people think, as long as I like the music myself. But I'm not gonna lie, a hit would be amazing at this juncture.

    I remember visiting my parents in 2003 when AL came out. Bill Oreily was on and they discussed her new album and message as anti american and people who like her music are mindless zombies....i was like oh no he did not...turned into a debate!

    I remember that. It was an awful era. She pulled the video out of respect, and they still treated her like she didn't. Shunned her, and bashed her at any opportunity.

    Happily, there was the Re-Invention Tour at the end, and that saved the era imo.

    Also, Bill O'reily doesn't exist anymore. His karma caught up with him.

    I could be wrong but I’m guessing that There’s no way in hell Madonna would ever reveal such personal details about her reproductive capability. Let’s not make assumptions on such a personal matter regarding her son David. It is very possible she and guyR met David in the orphanage when they visited Malawi and Préfèred to adopt him instead of getting pregnant. We just don’t know

    She said in an interview circa 2004 that she and Guy were trying to have another baby.

    I have family in venezuela, and they are really divided... it´s incredible this is happening in a country with such quantity of natural resources...well, or maybe not.I really don´t have a lot of info about it, but it seems to me that Chavez and probably other latin american politicians wanted to change the system to improve their countries situation, and they have lost the battle long time ago.I guess it´s time to let Milton Friedman´s ideas enter Venezuela

    The "powers that be", always do that to naturally rich places, so they can buy everything for cheap. Literally every country with a lot of petrolium, or natural resources gets gutted and then sold for a dime.

    What I really mean by "powers that be" is the international banking cartels, which is the real authority globally. All Central Banks, including the Federal Reserve are PRIVATE banks, and they're all interconnected. I know this may sound really crazy if you're not well informed, but it's the truth.
