Word from Rhino that her certifications will be updated soon.

Offer Nissim just played her new remix for Celebration in Purim Party / Tel Aviv,, the remix starts around 11:30 min. !!!! enjoyyyyy https://youtu.be/owB_hKYpqXc?t=537

"We were supposed to be present during photoshoot, our suitcases were ready but at last minute records company asked us to finally stay in France cos it was too expensive. So we couldn't direct photographer, he told us he was lost with hundreds of stills of Madonna. We made a selection and Madonna gave us specifications. She wanted something very "cliché" with a gun and American flag as a a tribute to Patty Hearst... We've decided to give her two proposals. One very close to her request and another that was our vision of her sleeve. We send the two proposals with Fedex and a letter saying 'Here's your sleeve. And here is the one we think the good one for you'. In the letter we mentioned and detail why our proposal was good, and also why the thought the gun was not a good idea... Few days later, we receive her answer. She was only asking to add few stars on top left of second sleeve. And that's it, it was hers. Few month later, Madonna gave an interview to a Spanish media where she was explaining her sleeve. We've heard her saying almost word by word what was written in our letter. We understood we were not wrong (laughs)"

From the latest issue of “Technikart” (thanks to Madonnatribe/News Of Madonna). Can someone please translate it?

I don't know - it would be hard to get Madonna's approval on things particularly with re issues. We still don't know what exactly it was referencing and why. If it was about 'sharing' the track list of digital releases - why care now when it's been done since it started. It does confuse me, you'd want to create hype and by sharing a track list, doesn't mean someone can stream it ahead of its release - like everyone will stream it the day it comes out - so I don't really know what that's about. I don't think any other 'confidential' information has been shared either - nothing has been shared about any of the up coming album re-releases - other than speculation that the 40th will come first.

I wouldn't take ANYTHING from Rhino's Twitter account seriously, honestly. All gifs and "funny" replies. No idea who's behind but they don't know what they talk about.

Yes, i love it all, but let´s get real: the casual listeners who would buy ROL because of the great music but also atracted by the striking cover where she looks like a godess never were gonna buy this one with Madoona looking pissed off and channeling the Che guevara LOL. But it´s great she dare to do this.

Thanks for the article and for the translation! I guess the single cover would be the 1st version (Madonna request) and the final album cover the 2nd version - M/M's choice? Looking back, both are incredibly bold and way too artistic. No wonder it was never going to be a big seller mainstream project. The Karens of the world would never see those covers and think "oh, let's get Madge's new album!" - "American Life" video debacle or not. I remember also the Craig McDean drama. Weird, since anyway Madonna would be paying it back to Warner with her royalties. I guess it had to do with all the Maverick legal drama back then and they just wanted to punish her/f**k with her.

Yes, Facetune is quite the stylist!

Imagine we get the "Mr. Peabodys Apples" look. #worsteraever

Seems you're the one worried about going unnoticed.

I was mortified and awestruck by all the dumb posts about Madonna's romantic (hence personal) life in another thread, turns out they were made by a Xtina fan, it all makes sense now. Thank You.

We're still waiting for the already confirmed "Ray Of Light" HD upscale, that should come next week? And maybe "La Isla Bonita" too, since the digital single was released... About the digital singles, if they want to keep going with the "Ray Of Light 25" anniversary we could have "Nothing Really Matters", "Drowned World/Substitute For Love" or "The Power Of Good-Bye" in the next few weeks. And of course "American Life" 20th anniversary is coming in April, fingers crossed for all the digital singles of that album then...

Yea I agree, I think it was a mis understanding - someone on her team, saw something, assumed info was being leaked that should not have and it created a storm in a tea cup. Anyway, what's next - does anyone know if we are getting another this week?

At least M knows how to play. Here is "rock goddess" Courtney Love with the mic feed just on her guitar 😭😭😭😭

Nothing has been really leaked about the first big reissue so I guess it's it was all about the info of the next digital singles, then they all got confused and no one cared to investigate what was really happening (which was basically nothing xd). Maybe M or someone from her team saw something on social media about the next upcoming release and thought it was being leaked or something and complained to Warner/Rhino. And Rhino instead of doing their job (see that nothing was really happening and that it all was actually hype for the singles), just went with the narrative. They all need fresh new people on their teams... I mean this is a big misunderstanding about nothing and even if M saw something and - rightfully so, after the 2014 situation - panicked, someone from her team and/or Warner should have explained to her that it was actually nothing and why. My take, of course I could be wrong and maybe they have a point and there's s**t going behind the scenes.

Fr wtf was that supposed to mean I'm still so perplexed about that response

+ New big peaks today: "Hung Up": 307M "Material Girl": 322M "Like A Prayer" ("Celebration" Version): 261M

yes and she's going to do that thing with the scraping the pick down the strings a dozen times because it was cool in the 80s or somethin lol

It's not drawn on, it's an AI upscale of the original file i posted too, that's why it gives this wrong impression of being added. Check the original file in my post. I got it from the news archives of an old Madonna forum. First glimpse we got of the artwork for the single before they changed it (they removed the guns and added red stripes on her face for the final single artwork)

Yes, most my age (25) still remember the hype of 4M. I remember it being the first of her music videos I watch on YouTube back when I was a kid. I think it’s one of the Crown Jewels of Timbaland’s era of music. I know some of his production on the rest of the album seems redundant but Miles Away and 4 Minutes are still fresh!

Here it is I found it two weekd ago while looking for the Q interview from 2003. I ended up on Mad-Eyes.net archives (where i also got the bit of news about warner and the photoshoot i posted previously). Turns out it's the first pic we got from the campaign. The guns are still very mush visible but she does not have the red stripes on her face. I remember the first pics we got, all had the guns and then they removed it. The version above is an AI upscale, here is the file i used from Mad-eyes for the purists ^^

I personally prefer the single cover, the one that @Roland Barthes is using. The deconstructed flag is much clearer.

I don't think so.The only thing the two costumes have in common is that they are red. It is a completely different style of clothing. see the picture below. by the way madonna looks really fantastic in that red dress!! I love it! I really want to know what is her beauty secret!!!! She looks so young in that sexy red dress! I love it! Oh by the way Her famous popcorn diet is back!! That's the reason She's looking so good and young lately!!!! I love it!!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassss Queeen!! You need that popcorn diet!!! Keep going my goddess!!!! you need it!!!

Hi all Curtis Knapp session was September ‘83 (confirmed by Curtis) Burning Up was August ‘83 xx

She has been looking amazing recently. I love her recent looks. She deserves every cent she is making from the tour. No one will ever beat her quality of shows.

don't worry, she won't mind taking Scorpio cash

Thief of Hearts 4 Minutes or Celebration?

Omg it's true CAN'T WAIT FOR THE COADF LEOTARD TO RETURN TOO!!!!

I prefer a 1000's post like @SweetMadonnawhich are always positive, than the constant "conformists view of the right path" (to quote @Blue Jean) , and those who purposely derail topics to simply troll or insult or attack others.

It's just fantastic photos of Madonna. I love it.

Oooh the second photo reminds me of the Material Girl video 😮🥰

That first picture is giving me life, ecstacy and love, an overwhelming sense of beauty. Yes Queen, bring it to the runway.

Sometimes it's really mind-boggling how smart she is and how much absolute shit she believes at the same time

You are a proper troll don't ya? You were slugging off Tokischa and telling how she was vulgar and too trashy to be working with Madonna. Also Chris is a trans man, stop misgendering.

Deeper and deeper Sanctuary or Secret

So, I'm catching up. Are we getting these rumoured boxsets or what?

Nothing really matters Swim or Skin?

maybe Leos are just demanding assholes

Voted!

Oh well. Better than the alternative of having a forum where no one posts anything and the place is dead

BLOCKED for speculating!

Done!

Ray of light Impressive instant or survival

Swim (very underrated) I fucked up or love tried to welcome me

For the people who wanna kiss this borderline single remix [Hidden Content] It's a extract from the video and tagged so you don't have to call Emily isn't she sleeping?
