She should release Bizarre in November with a new remix to keep the hype (Hoping for Bizarre feat. Dua Lipa)

I think she has 3 wins on lock right now for the Grammys:

1. Dance/Electronic Album 
2. Dance Pop Recording (most likely for Danceteria)
3. Best Music Film

Every other category is still a question mark.

yeah i agree on those three. i would maybe throw in pop collab for BYL. at least for a nomination.

and bizarre f/ dua would be hot. i do hope a remix album is in the works - and if it is, i wish they would let us know in advance or at least hint more to keep the buzz going.

Bizarre is the best song left who would work the best as a single. It's doing excellent on streaming already, as good as some of the singles like Love Sensation, without any promo.

Dua's voice would be perfect for the song. And Madonna and Dua are both with Warner's right now and they have worked previously in Dua's Levitating remix. So in a way, she owes Madonna a featuring haha

i'm sure she'd jump at the chance. and she need to release something soon because the public is going to move on. fingers crossed.

Bizarre is already a collaboration. I don't think it needs vocals from someone else. A set of remixes can help it a lot and perhaps there could be a combined push from both labels.

^yeah and isnt Dua a passe by now? she did her when Dua was hot already

It is a collaboration but not a duet with another singer. But in either case, like a said, with or without another singer, it is the most obvious option should a next single cum.

there are so many songs with potential.. bizarre, one step away, fragile, even L.E.S. girl for adult contemporary crowd (and great for the Grammys to know about)

she can't get much traction without a younger artist. it's just the reality. no point in releasing a single otherwise.

i think bizarre and fragile (and possibly school) have the most potential. i would maybe do bizarre before the end of the year, followed by fragile/school double-sided single just in time for the grammys.

oh yeah forgot about school! honestly I love "good for the soul", but it's probably not single material.

even sins are my saviour for the US crowd (whom tends to prefer a more RnB sound. )

School is well loved by younger gays, I've noticed this on my socials. And could lend itself to a younger collaborator if she wanted to go down that route.

yeah i don't think it will do well on radio or the charts or anything, but it could go viral or something. it's unique. 

[Beastialg]

Bizarre is easily the most commercial friendly and with most potential as a single from all the songs not already released. Just look at its streaming numbers compared to any other non single song in the album...

The elements in her favour right now are the big wins at the VMAs which have got everyone talking about her again, plus all the great reviews and coverage she’s had over the summer. She’s released some of the best music of her career and, at this point, it feels like the industry are in a place where they want to recognise her. 
 

Not saying she will win AOTY but it is her best chance since ROL. She may get a nod for record of the year but that tends to only go to smash hits as far as I can remember from the last few years. 
 

Realistically I think she can hope to come away with 3 or 4 Grammys in the pop, dance and video categories. But it doesn’t hurt to hope for AOTY.

If she doesn’t get nominated and performs, it’d be interesting to see what she chooses to do. She’s just pulled off a massive spectacular performance at the VMAs. Would she take a different approach for the Grammys. 

she practically saved VMA's with massive ratings draw (biggest audience in over 10 years,)

The bosses @Grammies should take a note..

[jonski43]

Bruno's album? That got really mediocre reviews and even Taylor's fans don't like hers.

Here's an article from Billboard magazine about Madonna's Grammy chances:

Why Madonna, The Rolling Stones, and Paul McCartney Could Be Grammy Dark Horses

I think she gonna win

let's not set ourselves for disappointment. first she needs to get a nomination. that would be a huge win in and of itself. then we can do the math on a win.

lol fair. One step at a time…

[Cody Banks]

Much like the VMAs the Grammys are a joke, but it is always cool when M shows up and kills it. She went huge for  the VMAs, I'd kind of like to see something simpler but still very Madonna.

But again, we don't know the nominations (voting isn't even open yet) or if she'll perform, but the speculation and optimism is fun.

[dollhouse]

WM will make sure at least few nominations and a performance

[jonski43]

Honestly, they'll have another Weeknd situation if she doesn't get nominated and Bruno and Taylor do for their mediocrity.

This is hands-down my favorite track and I am in my 50s.

Proof that you are young at heart, sweets.  

Also proof that you’ve got great taste, but then … this we already knew. 

xoxo!

(I also love School, but I can’t even choose a favorite because I’m so indecisive!)

yeah, but the grammys have changed a lot and less about quality than ever before (if it ever was). like the oscars, when ratings started to slip they started nominating/awarding the most commercially successful albums to boost interest in the show. taylor's album is particularly divisive so i don't think it will win, but she's inevitably going to be considered a frontrunner.

IF They saw The boost M gave to VMA's, Madonna should get all the awards and perform (Grammy should actually PAY her)
