Members sheilaforever Posted March 31, 2012 Members Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Finally got the CD after relying on streaming the last week. Glad taht I got the deluxe version: The bonus tracks are better than the actual CD, IMO. I see why "Beautiful Killer" and "I f**cked up" didn't make it on the album release as they are slightly different in style but these songs are better than anything on the actual MDNA.

Members Angela Posted March 31, 2012 Members Share Posted March 31, 2012 You sure, Y&R? Jamie usually gets the creative director title, no? And this new guy lists himself as artisitc director. He might still be there. He's obviously spread too thin so it would be best to get a new mind behind your tour if he's heading your tour, so I hope you are right. MDNA: I ordered the Deluxe Version from Fab.com for 7.99 (Yay! Cheap!), so waiting for the deluxe to listen to it period. Going to sell the Clean copy that came with the ticket. sheila, no love for Gang Bang? I'll have to listen to the CD before I judge the other songs. Gang Bang is the only one that I heard streamed that made me think "yes, yes, that's what I'm talking about." I do like Masterpiece a lot, but it feels unfinished. Madonna did release the whole of "I F--ked Up" before the album release. It's different, but it grew on me after several listens. I like the lyrics and if they had arranged it in a more mainstream pop way I think it could have done well in the adult contemporary chart. Let me chime in on Madonna, ABC and the Perfume Ad. It's racy (a lil bit suggestive) but for them to want it edited to even air after 9 is ridiculous. It's not that racy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted April 1, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 The brilliance of Gang Bang is unbelievable. It's probably the best off the album which unfortunately means nothing else comes close to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 VH1/MTV's Rising (Madonna). Perfect Finale Piece to the Driven & Naked Ambition. 7 Parts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSLUZx9N_Nc From Part 1: Rupert: ...because otherwise you'd turn to a little modeling career. Madonna: Yes. I was hoping you wouldn't bring that up. Uhm, yeah I did model. When I first moved to New York I was a dancer so I did a lot of modeling. [Looks at camera] Nude modeling, thank you very much. It was really good money and flexible hours which is why I chose to do it. It's not because I enjoy taking my clothes off or anything like that R: Liar. M: I did it a lot more when I was a dancer. Then when I decided to become a musician I kind of fell back on it when I was really desperate. When we weren't getting any gigs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfDy8943P04 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPF8EA1KwCU From Part 3: Madonna: I kept getting mistaken for a hooker. It's a terrible thing... Rupert: That was to happen many times later in Madonna's life. [she explains why; her dance class outfit] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpNMdaTGCL0 From Part 4: [Random Man Tries to Blackmail Her On Camera] Random Man: Would you be interested in buying your nude photos. I got your nude photos from about 20 years ago when you 17 years old. Madonna: No thanks. RM: I mean, maybe they're worth something... M: Nude photographs of me? RM: Yeah, yeah, when you were 17. M: I can get them for free RM: Really? M: Yeah! RM: I mean, you know before, when... [stumbles] M: Before I hit the big time? Rupert: (Grabs the dudes bag) Are those the pictures? RM: No? M: I think you should hold on to them. I mean, listen, if you ever need to make some bucks you could always sell them RM: That's what I was thinking, you know, maybe... M: Listen if I want to see me naked I'll just look in the mirror. RM: But I was just thinking... [Gives up his blackmail attempt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmV0WKxVeoI Link to Part 6: http://madonnabce.vodspot.tv/#1837840 Link to Part 7: http://madonnabce.vodspot.tv/#1837846 From Part 7: Rupert: Do you envision yourself, like Mick Jagger - age 50 - still being around Madison Square Garden? Madonna: No, I do not. R: Cut to 25 Years Time, "Madonna..." M: No. no. I can't... I don't think so. R: So is there a stop date? Do you ever think about that in your head? M: No, I don't think there's a stop date. But I don't envision myself making pop records and videos when I'm 50 years old...I'm always going to make music no matter what. The way I perform it is going to take another shape. I can always do Holiday inns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Charles Posted April 2, 2012 Members Share Posted April 2, 2012 Madonna album sets new No 1 record (UKPA) – 12 hours ago Madonna's MDNA has gone straight in at No 1 to give the singer her 12th UK album chart-topper. The feat means the singer has beaten Elvis Presley's record of 11 chart-topping albums, making her the most successful solo artist ever in UK album charts, said the Official Charts Company. The album's success will be welcome news for the singer, whose first single from MDNA, Give Me All Your Luvin', peaked at only number 37 when it was released in February, making it one of her biggest UK chart flops. David Guetta held on to the No 2 spot with his album Nothing But The Beat. Last week's No 1 album, Paul Weller's Sonik Kicks, dropped to 10. Katy Perry's album Teenage Dream moved up 28 places in the chart to six despite being in the chart for 83 weeks. In the singles chart, Chris Brown's new single, Turn Up the Music, debuted at No 1, knocking Katy Perry off the top spot. Perry slipped to four with Part Of Me. It is Brown's most successful single in the UK. He reached No 2 in 2006 with Run It! Copyright © 2012 The Press Association.

Members Angela Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 So Billboards numbers will probably look something like this on Wednesday/Thursday. The "official" numbers from Hits Daily Double... http://www.hitsdaily...es/salescht.cgi Madonna in 1st with 358,000. Lionel in 2nd with 200,100. ETA: Billboard's Release: Madonna scores her eighth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with the debut of her “MDNA,” while Lionel Richie’s all-star country collaborations covers album “Tuskegee” bows in the runner-up slot — his highest-charting album since 1986. Madonna remains in second place among women with the most No. 1 albums. She now needs only one more No. 1 to tie Barbra Streisand, the leader among women with nine chart-toppers. “MDNA” sold 359,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan, and is Madonna’s fifth straight studio album to debut at No. 1. It follows 2008′s “Hard Candy,” which moved 280,000 in its first week. “MDNA’s” opener is her best sales week since 2000′s “Music” shifted 420,000 when it debuted at No. 1. Meanwhile, Richie’s “Tuskegee” starts with 199,000 — his best sales week since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. His previous largest frame in that span of time was when 2006′s “Coming Home” started with 75,000 at No. 6 in 2006. Richie was last higher on the Billboard 200 in 1986, when “Dancing on the Ceiling” spent two weeks at No. 1. Like other veteran acts before him, Richie opted for a creative way to reach consumers with “Tuskegee.” Not only did he go the covers route (see: Tony Bennett, Rod Stewart, etc.) but he also brought in a gaggle of A-listers (again, Bennett with his “Duets” albums, or, Santana’s “Supernatural”). Further, he isn’t just covering old tunes — he’s covering his own familiar hit singles, but with a country slant. Richie also was the focus of an hour-long concert special on the Home Shopping Network on March 16. Sales generated from the broadcast amounted to about 20,000 sold, says Richie’s record label, Universal Music Nashville. A traditional studio album from Richie would have likely never sold as well as “Tuskegee,” which targets multiple demographics all in one tidy package. Case in point: In one week, “Tuskegee” moved more than twice what his last studio album did in total — 2009′s “Just Go” has done 95,000. In terms of release-week promotion, Madonna was basically off the radar, instead focusing her energy on rehearsals for her upcoming world tour. That stands in contrast to Richie, who worked the TV circuit hard in the past week. He was the focus of multiple CMT specials and was interviewed on NBC’s “Weekend Today” (March 25), appeared on “The Voice” (26, the album’s release date), performed on “Today” (27), “The Late Show With David Letterman” (27), chatted with CNN’s “Piers Morgan” (27) and finally, performed on CBS’ “Academy of Country Music Awards” (April 1). As for Madonna, since headlining the Feb. 5 Super Bowl halftime show, she’s been laying low. Her only significant recent media appearances have been via a live Facebook chat with Jimmy Fallon (March 24) and a brief drop-in at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami the same night. “MDNA’s” sales were aided by a successful album sales promotion involving Madonna’s upcoming world tour. U.S. customers who bought a concert ticket had the option of also receiving the album as part of their purchase. The only sales that count towards Billboard’s charts are those where the customer opted to receive “MDNA.” This sort of ticket/album promotion has been used in the recent past by such acts as Bon Jovi and Tom Petty. The latter’s “Mojo” album saw a No. 2 debut on July 3, 2010 — thanks to a fair number of customers who got the album via a ticket purchase. The same goes for Bon Jovi’s 2007 No. 1 album “Lost Highway.” Our regular recap of the week’s top 10 selling albums and songs will be available on Wednesday (April 4) morning.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Angela Posted April 5, 2012 Members Share Posted April 5, 2012 Madonna was kind of bringing Jersey Shore to MTV before Jersey Shore was doing their thang. She's sort of the original Snooki in some ways. That's a little bit of a disconcerting observation, lol. Madonna did a "#1 album" tweet-chat tonight. https://twitter.com/.../MadonnaMDNAday She was late to the chat, so a fan asks: ARE YOU THERE YET MADONNA?? M: on my knees. Ready and waiting. The highlight of the chat probably being Lionel Richie and Madonna tweeting back and forth for a bit. Only us born before 1990 could appreciate this fully, lol... Madonna: congrats on a successful record. To the other ritchie in my life.... Lionel: What's going on family? Can you believe we are sitting on the top of the charts together again? M: every dog has its day. Remember when we were neighbors? L: There is no one I would rather be on top with. Congratulations!! I am so happy for you. M: OK, but as long as I'm on top. L: I wouldn't have it any other way!! M: Smart man [Goes back to the neighbors question] L: Do I remember?!?! ... The only problem I had is when I came out of my house the fans would ask me where you live? I was the tour guide for the street. The neighborhood was never the same after you left. M: Bless you. You still live in that shithole? L: Hell no!! I moved out right behind you. The street wasn't exciting anymore... Madonna claims to have had no idea her album was #1 until this made for film moment from earlier today... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4SuuwclluY She Liked and linked this video during the chat ("Just took a trip down memory lane with this video. I'm exhausted. LOVE IT"). This has nudity so do not watch if you're under 14-15. Youtube is weird, it puts age restrictions on GGW official video but not on this or something with a lot more views like Justify My Love. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIG2wwh38L4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Angela Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 Perez Hilton was begging her to do this one on the new tour the other night. I like the lyrics. MDNA. So it's officially the #1 album in the world on the World Chart (http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm). It sold 740,000 copies worldwide on week 1. It's officially #1 in over 25 countries. Warner Brothers released a box set of all her official albums with them last week and it sold 25,000 copies worldwide which is good for Top 40 in albums. So each album is credited 25,000 for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
