Not in the last decade they haven’t. Stop trying to gaslight us. 

What on earth are you on about? Most of her albums remain solo songs. All but one single from Rebel Heart was solo. 2 of the 4 MX singles were solo.

Madonna thinks having a successful artist attached to the song will open new doors for her. It rarely ever works for her.

Who is successful? Maluma??

I never heard of him until he worked with Madonna.

He is certainly not more successful than M.

People forget that he gave her one hit single that if it hadn’t contained a famous ABBA sample it would have bombed. That’s the only song the general public remembers from that album. The same goes for the likes of Mirwais. Djs rarely make compelling music. She needs songwriters. Stuart’s music always sounds outdated and way too thin. Anyway, she did all she could do with him. If she wants to be lazy and continue repeating herself, so be it. 

Would’ve bombed?

Considering I’d never heard that ABBA song until AFTER Hung Up came out tells me otherwise.

 

Gimme Gimme Gimme was no Dancing Queen.

No, the whole album was a sucess, together with Confessions tour and everything they worked together during those years have stood test of time. The sample is one part of the equation...

Personally I much prefer Medellin to the faceless dance bops some fans have been hankering for for 19 long years. People forget the artist who made Confessions and True Blue also made Music and American Life.

It's always a tell-tale sign when people group Madame X with MDNA and Rebel Heart, as though they are remotely similar or comparable in any way beyond being released in the same decade. The level of artistry, direction, discernment, quality control, inspiration of Madame X couldn't be further from MDNA, Rebel Heart or Hard Candy. Those who understand Madame X know it's a younger slightly confused sibling to Ray of Light, Music and American Life.

I'm sure there's somebody out there who's never heard of Marilyn Monroe until they saw the Material Girl video... Madonna really opened the doors for her.

Why are you always so passive aggressive?

I can see why you are a Gaga fan

Saying that you never heard of Gimme Gimme Gimme until Hung Up is your personal experience and your anecdotal evidence, not a sign that it wasn't a big hit. Madonna mede the effort to secure the sample because the song was a major, instantly recognizable hit.

I never said it wasn’t a big hit.

I literally said I had never heard of it before Hung Up.

I'd rather have Madonna and Stuart sampling tunes from the 70s-90s over anything Nicki Minaj and Dua Lipa have done. 

I don't believe Madonna will ever make a strictly care free dance album ever again. You have to be extremely tone deaf these days for that and she is not.

I'm looking forward to whatever beautiful ballad the death of her brother is going to inspire. Her Instagram tribute was already so beautiful, if she pours those feelings into lyrics, it's gonna be so amazing.

I have to agree that it's very possible a song about her brother could turn up on her next album.  But knowing her, she makes it a dance anthem.  He deserves it!!

Agreed. COADF was a definite critical success (and IMO the last album that worked 100% even with “I love NY”) though the singles didn’t chart as I’m guessing as high as she wanted. The tour was undoubtedly a huge success. Hung up is such a funny hybrid since she’s recycling the lyrics from love song and the ABBA samples. Actually was never a big ABBA listener didn’t know the sample but I understand it worked on a musical and thematic level for the album. The remixes I’ve heard without the sample work just as well but that’s just my ears.
