At least Popular has now removed Sorry Mixes from Apple Music as the latest release. 

Stunning, we only got Dear Jessie in the UK and not that stunning Oh Father. Of course we would later get the 2 CD set for Oh Father which was nice but could have used this lovely artwork. Back in 1989 I didn't realise the cover for Dear Jessie was an old picture, I just thought it was her Cherish hair. ha ha. 

Fingers crossed, Material Girl was a surprise. That's next Tuesday then, Like Material Girl, if it happens.

1984

The video version has a longer ending, you can find that version on my Remastered EP Collection.

Considering they’re mostly going with the UK/US tracklists, I guess the Material Girl single on streaming will just be this:
01 - Material Girl (2024 Remaster)
02 - Material Girl (Extended Dance Remix - 2024 Remaster)
03 - Pretender (2024 Remaster)
 
The Angel Remix and Into the Groove were on the Japanese tracklist but I feel like an Angel/Into the Groove single is more likely. I also don’t see them releasing the Video Version as it was never commercially released. The 7“ Version from Finally Enough Love is just the album version.
And The Immaculate Collection version is also my favorite, I love the little extra echos and the cold ending as well.  

Open your heart  Cover.  Isn’t it a beauty? 

Here's another one I did

I'm talking about the photo itself.
But maybe it's just me, I also don't like the album cover for Music. I think the photo used for the Music single would have been a better choice.
And for Don't Tell Me, something like this would have been better

Notes:
- Little Star: acapella snippet for Lola birthday on 14/10/2023.
- Madonna on 15/10/2023 didn’t perform the last act - “Like a Virgin” to “Celebration”. Show started late due to camera issues and ended early due to O2 curfew.
- Into the Groove: after the first two nights in London, from the third one the small rap of Missy Elliott was cut out from the song.
- Live to Tell: from the third night, a thunderstorm sound effect was added during the intro.
- Causing a Commotion: on 22/10/2023, M sang acapella the chorus of the song before “Burning Up”. She did it again on 15-16/11/2023 shows in Cologne; Amsterdam 02/12/2023; London 05-06/12/2023; Brooklyn 14-16/12/2023; Washington 18-19/12/2023; Boston 08-09/01/2024; Toronto 11-12/01/2024.

During the 3 shows in Brooklyn (New York), 13-14-16-/12/2023, she performed a mash up of these two songs: First/second verses and choruses of “I Love New York” sang on the instrumental of “Burning Up”, then she started to sing the last one from the bridge.

Rehearsals:
- Candy Perfume Girl: rehearsed at the very early stage on rock guitar.
- Burning Up: rehearsed at the very early stage on acoustic guitar.
- Celebration: originally the opener followed by "Nothing Really Matters", then rehearsed as an outro and it didn't have elements from "Music".
- Nothing Really Matters: considered also as the final song and "Everybody" as the opener.
- The Power of Good-Bye: rehearsed as one of the final songs.
- Ghosttown: rehearsed on guitar with her son David.
- Mother of Creation: considered as an interlude, probably before "Bedtime Story".

- During the final dress rehearsals in London she deleted:

Subscription prices will start to eek up slowly over the next five years...and they should. 
The free tier will continue at 128kbps and as soon as hi res for Spotify comes in I'll be on that. They're falling behind apple with spatial audio and hi resolution. Most friendship groups or families work on the family plan which works out at about £3.50 each person a month for all the music in the world at 320kbps which is insane value. With modern day banking that's such an easy direct debit to the account holder.
The price of an old CD single here was £3.99 and I used to buy about five a week easily. Plus the 12" and picture disc and 7" and import for my five fave artists. 
I can see further integration for fan services. Madonnas basic standard albums on the platform for the traditional subscription fee. Pay £x a month extra for access to ALL her content. New release standard editions and singles available on all subscriptions with time limited all access deluxe versions ( 6-12 months to keep charts alive) before moving to Artists Club subscription which will feature exclusive content, Deluxe albums Maxi Singles, remixes, all edits, Live Tours. All new releases outside of standard albums will move to Artist Club subscription, after six months. 
Spotify still isn't making money and artists aren't being paid properly. Slowly more and more people are moving to streaming even older generations which have seen the biggest growth, as soon as they numbers reach a critical mass the shift will happen. It's a waiting game for the industry. It'll be interesting to see which platform caves first cause they will ALL follow suit. Essentially artists will  integrate their fan pages and socials to their Spotify profile in the future. How often do any of us use Madonna.com? 
I can see ticket vendors becoming part of the platform too. 
This will ultimately be gamed. "Play Madonnas new album in full to unlock access to tickets to her new tour"
I don't know why Spotify isn't employing me TBH. lolz

They just show normally so nothing different unless it has the animated version. 

If anyone has upgraded to ISO17 when you play an album on Apple Music  that has the moving artwork it shows that while playing now which is a nice fun cool touch. Especially on TIC as it still has rubbish bad artwork.
