  1. Immaculate Collection is still the best animated cover on Apple Music Can’t believe they still have updated the album with the correct versions of Lucky Star and Borderline though
  2. Reminds me of animated transitions on a deck of PowerPoint slides 😬
  3. Music has an animated cover on Apple Music as well
  4. It’s so weird that the Everybody digital single mirrors the 40th anniversary vinyl. There’s never been a connection between digital and special vinyl releases. Otherwise we would have American Life Mixshow on digital and also the Who’s That Girl/Causing a Commotion remixes EP
  5. What’s everyone’s most wanted single on streaming? mine is Causing A Commotion Second placed is Dress You Up I think that if it wasn’t for this singles campaign, they would have done a 40th anniversary digital album for Like A Virgin, and we’d have got Angel and Dress You Up 12” mixes at last that way instead if Live To Tell does appear this week, I reckon they will follow the anniversaries and do Papa, True Blue and Open this year too.
  6. Burning Up digital single gave us a lot. 7” edits for Burning Up and Physical Attraction but they really skimped on Everybody though do you think they will give us an Everybody EP with original cover art with the Dub, Extended Version, etc I still want You Can Dance unmixed version of Everybody on streaming too
  7. Glad to see Keep It Together on digital even if the track listing is incomplete. It keeps the momentum of these releases. I’ve completely lost track of what release anniversary is next, so looking at Wikipedia there’s Crazy For You on 2 March (and 18 February in 1991) One More Chance on 7 March I’ll Remember on 8 March Another Suitcase in Another Hall on 18 March Live To Tell on 26 March Angel / Into the Groove on April 10 Spotlight on April 25 As there’s only one Madonna track on the original single, Crazy For You is unlikely unless they use the track listing of the 1991 reissue. All of the tracks from the One More Chance single (Spanish and Spanglish versions of You’ll See) are on the You’ll See digital single already. So presumably we will get nothing in February and I’ll Remember is next. I will be most disappointed if we don’t get all the commercially released mixes for I’ll Remember, so 🤞 The 12” mix of Angel seems to be the only other long awaited track to make its debut in next few months. Would be nice if they threw us a few surprises a long the way that aren’t tied to their anniversaries
  8. We need all the remaining missing songs on streaming Let Down Your Guard Ain’t No Big Deal at a minimum And if we’re being optimistic here, Broken etc … and the most keenly missed renixes Causing a Commotion Dress You Up etc … Surely it’s time? Put Ain’t No Big Deal on a Dress You Up, put Guard on a Secret EP with the Instrumental, the Edit again and if they’re feeling generous (lol I know right?!) any outstanding commercially released remixes
  9. Have there ever been any rumours of the Re-invention Tour live tracks, released on the I’m Going To Tell You A Secret CD, getting added to music streaming platforms?
  10. Still hoping they put another single on for Secret with Let Down Your Guard. Can include the Secret Instrumental to round it out a bit, with the Edit again as well
  11. Still hoping they put another single on for Secret with Let Down Your Guard. Can include the Secret Instrumental to round it a bit, with the Edit again as well
  12. When did this talk of the unreleased Warning Signs start? Sounds like the kind of thing that they’d use as a selling point for a special edition album. I’d like to believe that Madonna will start giving us genuinely songs as part of the Warner deal, but it seems so unlikely based on her attitude this far
  13. If Madonna hasn’t had major hit ballads since Something to Remember as suggested above, than perhaps an expanded edition of the existing album would be more successful than a follow up with different tracks entirely. I would add a second disc to include The Look of Love Promise To Try Pray For Spanish Eyes Bad Girl In This Life Love Tried To Welcome Me You Must Love Me The Power of Goodbye To Have Not To Hold Has To Be Time Stood Still Gone Nothing Fails X-static Process Devil Wouldn’t Recognise You Ghosttown Messiah
  14. So do we reckon Don’t Tell Me is definitely next, in a couple of weeks time? Strange to think that Cyber Raga will be on streaming before Ain’t No Big Deal, when that song was used as a b-side on Dress You Up (Japan), Papa Don’t Preach (UK/Germany) and True Blue (US/Japan).
  15. I think we will get digital singles eventually for the long overlooked Who’s That Girl era Who’s That Girl: LP Version Extended Version Dub Version White Heat (LP Version) Causing A Commotion: Silver Screen Single Mix Silver Screen Mix Movie House Mix Dub Jimmy Jimmy (LP Version)
  16. If you were putting together a follow up to Something to Remember, what would your track listing be? And what would you title the collection? Take A Bow, perhaps? After the dance chart number ones compilation, it might be nice for Warner to shine a light on some beautiful gems in the back catalogue. With Bad Girl finally getting shown some love on the Celebration Tour, it got me thinking that Madonna’s slower tempo contemplative songs and love songs often get overlooked or comparatively forgotten outside of the fan base. My short list of tracks for inclusion would be: Angel The Look of Love Promise To Try Pray For Spanish Eyes Bad Girl In This Life Love Tried To Welcome Me You Must Love Me Nothing Really Matters The Power of Goodbye To Have And Not To Hold Has To Be Be Careful (with Ricky Martin) Time Stood Still Nothing Fails Joan of Arc Messiah And the long list: Shoo-Bee-Doo Sooner or Later What Can You Lose? Inside of Me Drowned World/Substitute For Love Gone I Deserve It X-static Process Easy Ride Miles Away Masterpiece Falling Free Hold Tight HeartBreakCity Or why not dust off some unreleased songs? Corazon (Be Careful) solo version Like A Flower If You Go Away I Can’t Forget Love Won’t Wait Arioso
  17. It’s a shame that the digital singles are sticking to the maxi single track listings and not giving us more anymore. Giving us mixes like the TPOG Fabien’s Good God Edit would make sense as I’m sure that shorter mixes would get more plays. Modern tracks and mixes are definitely taking account of shorter attention spans. Looking at the singles still not on streaming, got me wondering, why did the 1995 UK single of Oh Father use the album version rather than the previously released 7” edit? The Like A Prayer anniversary album is on streaming with an Oh Father ‘single version’, so I can’t see them bothering to put Oh Father single on streaming separately. I used to play the live version of Whys it So Hard on my Oh Father UK CD single a lot, so I’d love it on streaming, but I just can’t see them giving us an obscure UK only track listing on digital.
  18. That was a lovely looking collectible. I was thinking of a compilation though. Often an artist releases a compilation titled “The Singles Collection”, when only a few of their singles were actually significant hits 😆 But a singles collection for M that collated all her singles chronologically would be valid, instead of another ‘greatest hits’, as some of her singles always get overlooked. Kim Wilde issued all of her singles across three CDs a few years ago, plus a b-sides disc, remix disc and promo videos on two DVDs. A comprehensive set with everything related to her singles. An equivalent for Madonna, even without promo videos on DVD and bonus remixes bundled in would be pretty cool.
  19. Be interested to hear what people think… Do you reckon that Warner will ever release a Complete Singles Collection for Madonna? And if they did, do you reckon it would be US singles only? Meaning no Gambler, The Look of Love, Dear Jessie, One More Chance, Drowned World, etc. I don’t know how many CDs it would take to accommodate the shortest edit of every single at this point, but as vinyl seems to be the priority format now for raking in money from collectors I would imagine that viability on the vinyl format would be the key decider. It would definitely take a lot more than the twelve discs of Finally Enough Love box set and cost a lot more too. Even if the physical copies on vinyl were v expensive and limited if need be, I still think that such a project would be a great thing for her streaming channels. At least then we would have all of her singles consistently mastered at the same levels. Much better experience for listening / making playlists on streaming too. Ideally all in Dolby Atmos to get the release mentioned by music blogs rounding up the best back catalogue tracks in the format, flagged up by Apple Music for being in the format, etc. As her hits from American Life onwards had never got their own dedicated hits collection, a GHV3(?!), it’s really noticeable that a lot of the singles like American Life never got to appear on a singles collection… until Finally Enough Love, which isn’t quite the same thing but as it stand is as close at will get for some songs. I think that even if a new greatest hits compilation is released around the tour (or more likely Celebration is reissued on vinyl), it will just be another non chronological jumble with the same songs being excluded yet again. A complete singles collection is the only way that tracks like Angel are ever going to be acknowledged again as part of her Charts history.
  20. Madonna loves to not give her fans what they want. It’s like a point of principle with her. I’m not sure I even believe that there will be expanded album reissues at this point…. and if there are then I kind of assume that they will be super disappointing. Just giving a selection of remixes previously available on the commercially released CD and vinyl singles at the time. The digital singles reissues campaign is just painfully slow and protracted. I wouldn’t even care if I could still copy my mp3s over to my iPhone to play through the Apple Music app. I know they all sounds negative/pessimistic, but I’ve been a fan for so long that I know how it is.
  21. Have we had any confirmation since that initial press release that the back catalogue campaign with Warner will include expanded versions of her albums? I somehow doubt that there will be a second volume to Finally Enough Love, but somehow it would feel like a more believable rumour right now than the official announcement of an expanded classic album. Madonna doesn’t like dedicating too much time to past work and I think that since Finally Enough Love and those dodgy collabs that working on the Celebration tour has become the sole focus of her ‘revisiting the past’ energies.
  22. Nothing on Madonna’s Facebook or Twitter about the Drowned World digital single. I guess she wants all her eyes on her Madame X Tour picture discs posts
  23. Great to get another digital single at last. why is it categorised in ‘albums’ on Apple Music? It needs moving to Singles/EPs. As does Hollywood 🙄
  24. Oh well, fingers crossed for Drowned World EP this week then. There’s no US EP track listing for them to default to. I’d love it if they gave us the Edit of "Drowned World/Substitute for Love" (BT & Sasha's Ashram remix). But that’s never going to happen. Or any more Drowned World mixes that didn’t make it on to the official sales chart releases on an expanded version of Ray of Light album. I won’t be holding my breath for that happening either though
  25. Next week will be four weeks since Lucky Star. There really is no rhyme or reason to this slow rollout of back catalogue singles/EPs to digital. Do we still believe that the big announcement from Warner of a back catalogue campaign for Madonna has much steam left in it? We’ve had a million versions of Finally Enough Love, the Erotica picture disc and new artwork and track list for a RSD release for a change (Who’s That Girl? EP and American Life remixes EP) … which would be fine if there were more substantial projects confirmed. I can’t believe that since the first three albums were remastered on CD with two bonus 12” remixes each over 20 years ago that there’s been nothing remotely approaching super deluxe expanded versions released for any of the Warner albums.
