Song from "Rebel Heart" that has never been performed before: "Hold Tight".
Oldie-but-goodie that deals with the heartbreaking topic of losing her mother: "Promise To Try".
Classic that she performed many moons ago: "Like A Virgin" / "Bilie Jean".
70s classic: "I Will Survive".
Mashup of one of her hits with another late 70s track: "Hung Up" / "Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)".
Current tune from an artist she has collaborated with in the recent past: "Unholy".
Just my guess.

Can we cancel Honey Little?

Why you putting this negativity out into the cosmos? 

Not remotely funny, witty, clever, entertaining as per usual 

Yeah can't help but think he's attention seeking 

My bet is Nothing Really Matters, Bad Girl and Rescue Me.

The Weeknd has released like 30 other songs in the last 12 months but "Popular" has been the biggest one. People like it. Madonna is featured. We can't even give her that? She's contributed to the song.
If we're playing the "but this, but that" excuse, "Padam Padam" has only been a hit cause it got viral and became a meme.
There's always a "but" if we're looking for it and want to find it.

I understand but if we're playing the comparison game, Madonna is still doing commercially much better than Kylie, just some fans won't give her that and want everyone to like her like it happens with Kylie, when they couldn't be more different as people and artists. Being everyone's fave is just not Madonna's brand and has never been.
Madonna had an US #1 album with "Madame X" at 60. "Tension" didn't even enter the US Top 20. "Medellín" numbers are not far from "Padam Padam"'s ones, actually the video is way higher on YouTube. Madonna's "Finally Enough Love" album has already been 40 weeks in the UK charts, her longest run in years, while Kylie's last similar run was in 2004 with "Ultimate Kylie" (44 weeks).
"Popular" numbers s**t all over "Padam Padam" figures. Madonna is about to start a sold out worldwide tour. Kylie last worldwide tour was in 2015 and with half empty venues.
The list is endless. That's why I don't get the comparisons, except for the public image one. If you want to like an artist that pleases everyone, then Madonna maybe is not for you, and yeah, Kylie suits that better.

What Kylie has to do with this topic, Madonna's new album?
It's 2023. Stop comparing female artists, for God's sake. Especially trying to prove a personal point while doing so.

When Madonna posts your comment to her Insta feed… 💀

On another topic, am I the only one who thinks that M is in better health conditions than she was 4 years ago at Madame X Tour? Yes, she had her health scare months ago (we're expecting full recovery) but she seems more confident and happier now, and her body looks strong to have more dance than her previous tour. I don't expect her to dance a lot (actually there's no pop star that dances a lot on their shows now, only kpop groups are doing extremely tiring choreos), but my mind can't stope telling me that she will do her best on this show.
My only concearn is that all tour dates are very close to each other, but again, at this point she must be rehearsing 1 to 2 times the full show per day, so I'm hoping that everything goes very well on tour.
