What a strange release strategy this has been, especially as the video would seem to have been filmed before she got sick last summer. There could be another chart resurgence for them if this is some big-budget re-watchable affair.
Interesting times.

I think this thread needs to be closed until something is actually announced. Everything that can be discussed has already been discussed ad nauseam and is here in writing for all to ponder.
Every day here feels like....

It wasn’t limited. They just underestimated the sales.
Anyway, I sold mine. I don’t need to be lifting a needle and flipping a vinyl every 3rd crackly song. The vinyl resurgence is the biggest scam, we just need all the streaming services to have lossless audio. It’s 2024 ffs not 1985. Vinyl went out for a reason.

FEL is really the only thing we could describe as substantial to come our way. (And she still managed to fuck with it, sorry I mean “personally curate” it with CAC being dumped)
That’s it. A deleted picture disc for a song from her least successful era, while cute and thoughtful, is not a big deal. I do appreciate these little things for the die hards  but they really are the windows mite when it comes to availability of back catalogue.
I think it just speaks to how deprived of any kind of back catalogue goodies over the years we've been, that we get semi’s over the potential of an actual 7” version of a song (the version the world came to know and fall in love with) being made available on the major platform for music. While the majority of major artists have had the vast majority of theirs available for years. 
The press release led with the Expanded Editions angle. 
From the leaks she has suffered in recent times and questions from journalists about her vault, she knows well enough what the fans want and that a coloured vinyl with some old already available remixes just won’t cut it with much of the fanbase. 

The point of this Warner deal is to maximise profits. As one of the holy Trinity she can not be the first one to put out a Celebratory landmark edition with no new unreleased songs. Prince & Michael have done it and she knows she needs to too. 

Though they need to get a hurry on. The vinyl reassurance is reaching saturation point and vinyl fatigue is setting in with many collectors. The prices are making people less impulse led and people are saving their coin for the real must haves, often just one from each artist for their collection. I think Celebration vinyl will do really well. 
When they come and when they have the additional unreleased content, ( which let's be honest, is pretty much the bedrock of this entire forum),  she’ll have my money. Until then save the turtles tbh.

Her streaming numbers are great at the moment, certainly with her top 10 tracks which all do over 100K per day and her top 5 doing over 250K per day. Rhino really need to capitalise quickly with these re-issues and convert listeners from Popular to her remastered 80s albums before the listenership dwindles back to under 20mil. Strike while the iron is hot, otherwise what was the point of building a streaming listenership. 

Imagine how the poor Sade and Grace Jones fanbases feel. 10+ years of edging. Not to mention RiRi, although at least she's young so we know it will eventually happen.

Let's talk about cuteness for a sec

I guess that makes it pretty clear that there's no extra dates after Mexico.

I get what she was going for with this cover - it had great potential as an idea. It's the poor use of digital effects which make it weak in my opinion. There was really no need to make her eyes that blue colour when her own aquamarine colour is so unique to her. Madame X on her lips using some skilled sfx makeup technique instead of just a graphic across her lips would have been truly poignant, the way they did it makes it look like an afterthought. And the typeface used for her name is unworthy of the name it spells. 
The other covers also have flaws, but I'll take the blonde cover as my best of the 3.

You are choosing to read her insta post vaguely. It's quite clear.
"The last and final show is being added to the Celebration Tour!!! It's going to be on April 9th in Miami. Can you handle the heat?"

It wasn't recorded as part of the True Blue sessions though... her voice on it is very much as it was in the early years...

I would agree with you if her demo was actually any good. Have you listened to the leaked version? Her vocal is dreadful on it.

Great news. Perception amongst the GP really only shifts once these kind of positive comments get snuck into chit-chat tv shows. Usually it's about her face or getting her tits & ass out, so something like this is nice.

The Weeknd, Madonna and Playboi Carti are showing us all the meaning of the word Popular as they top the Official Trending Chart this week, ahead of their slow-burning collab about to finally climb into the Top 10. 
Originally released on the soundtrack of The Weeknd's ambitious dark comedy-dram The Idol on HBO last year, Popular has proved...well...very popular, even long after its mother-series stopped airing, and conversation around it stopped. 
Today, it tops the Official Trending Chat for the first time, and is expected to enter the UK Top 10 for the first time this week at Number 10. It would be the Weeknd's 16th Top 10 single, Playboi Carti's first Top 10 single. And even more impressive, it would see the Queen of Pop Madonna earn her landmark 64th (!) Top 10 single, and first in 15 years, since Celebration (banger) in 2009.
 

None that I can see on Discogs... Do you have a link? The only different cover I could see was the single cassette which featured just one Madonna.
