Geez, she can't win, can she? On the one hand, fans always complain how she doesn't respect, honour or even acknowledge her legacy and her back catalog (nothing for 20 years of Ray of Light, nothing for 30 years of True Blue, a playlist for 30 years of Like A Prayer, etc). Greatest Hits can be a great way of doing do that - given that it's done right of course. At the moment there really isn't a comprehensive Madonna greatest hits package - Celebration was a poorly executed attempt at that but it fell shortly, both in terms of songs included/excluded and its quality. 

Madonna released 85 singles according to wikipedia, do you really believe that there is a chance that we would get a great and carer spanning Greatest Hits?

Unless it's something special like a boxset or contains unreleased material, remastered tracks, videos etc.

Album sales are in the toilet and to rephrase everything being said here, she hasn't really had any hit among the general public for a while. There are some that think 4 Minutes or Hung Up was her last single and if we go by charts alone, only "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and "Bitch I'm Madonna" have cracked the chart since Celebration was released. There's no way to appease to both the GP and die hard fans that will mourn the exclusion of certain tracks, the wealth of material she could have supplemented to appease people to buy it or it being another hackjob the way Celebration was.

Exactly. ?

The last Greatest Hits was a complete FUCK up,  we don't want that again..   Nothing was done properly..  CD's had mastering errors and the Videos were pressed on Single Layer DVD's making the quality a complete disgrace.   I still to this day can't believe the poor quality of that release.

What they can do is get all the original 35mm Film were it was used for Video,  transfer it.  In a lot of cases it was used and release a Blu Ray of all her Music Videos in Glorious HD.   This is not beyond impossible (I guess unless these reels ended up in someones bin!).

If true, It wouldn't be the best idea. She hasn't actually had any 'hits' since 2009 when Celebration was released... and that one wasn't exactly a big seller. If she were to release anything, then maybe an anniversary release of the Immaculate Collection (which celebrates its 30th anniversary next year), expanded with more tracks, demos, remixes, etc in special packaging. I think people would pay more attention to that than yet another poorly-conceived throwaway hits package.

gimme all your luvin went top 10 so this is a complete lie.

I would love if she did a new greatest hits album like take that did with Odyssey. A reinventing of hits produced by Stuart Price. At least a two dics set. I just love the Odyssey set.?

Or what Cyndi Lauper did with The Body Acoustic, would love to see something like that

In America yes. Only scraped number 37 here in the UK. That’s the thing about greatest hits compilations, you have so many different charts to consider. Take a Bow, 7 weeks at number 1 in America, didn’t even crack the top ten in the UK. Hollywood didn’t crack the top 100 in America but was a number 2 hit here.

I don't see the point of an other greatest hits.

I don't think they will release a compilation of unreleased tracks either, because it won't appeal to general public but only the fans.

I think it would be better to have a thematic compilation, why not... but not just a simple compilation of what we already know.

 

Maybe it's time for the best Madonna ballads again, hits and hidden gems reworked or sung again to show case her voice if she wants/dares to...

I only want for a greatest hits compilation, the "remix/edits" and the "7'' versions" only available on vinyl from 1982 to 1990 (Dress You Up, Open Your Heart, etc, etc). After 1990 her catalog is available on CD so you can create any Greatest Hits without any problem.

And I want her classic videos in real 1080p. Maybe is expensive to scan the original 35mm, but Madonna is part of the popular culture and her videos must be saved in the best quality.

Not in the mood for a GH tbh, though listening to her rehearsals on insta, I would very much appreciate a studio recording of her Madame x tour renditions. I love the new album so far but Lauren's vocal production keeps from really really loving it. Hearing her bare vocals on crave makes me root for a "Madonna and a guitar livingroom session mixtape"

I think she should do The Immaculate Collection 30th Anniversary Edition covering her entire career then embark on the The Immaculate World Tour in arenas and stadiums. Opening in Asia in late 2020 then onto Australia, Europe, South America then the USA!
