I am so mad it wasnt included in the CD or the DVD. That is my only fault in the Celebration package!

MiuMiu · 13-09-2009, 03:53 PM

I realy liked the "American Life" album. I never understood all the flack that It gets.

I think mine is eiter "Secret", "Love Profusion", "Human Nature", "Hollywood", "Tell Me" or anything off the Ray of Light album. Lol, I can't make up my mind.

The American Life album got shot because of its over politicts meanings particly in the uncut version of the American Life video.

Confessions is my fave Madonna album and Human Nature is my second best Madonna track!

Can't wait to buy it. Celebration is like one of my fave songs of 2009.

Yep me too

MiuMiu · 13-09-2009, 04:19 PM

Ya the original verion of the American Life video was brilliant. Madonna looked amazing in it and I loved the was she used the fashion show as the symbol for governments.
I just love the video for Human Nature aswell. It's so cool!
"Express your self don't repress yourself"!
Ahhh, Madonna at her best.

I'd say Ray of Light is my fav. album, but Bedtime Stories is a close second for me.

Harry! · 13-09-2009, 04:20 PM

My order of fave albums.

Confessions
Hard Candy
Erotica/Ray Of Light
Music
American Life.

Like all the rest though.

MiuMiu · 13-09-2009, 04:31 PM

This is mine:

Ray of Light - 1st album I ever got!
Bedtime Stories
American Life
Candy
Music
and Confessions - Still love it tho!

I must say admit, I'm not that farmiliar with early Madonna so I don't own anything pre Bedtime Stories.
But obviously I know all of the singles - Cherish, Rain, Live to Tell etc. and all the obvious ones.

I'd say my fav. early Madonna song is either Into the Groove, Borderline or Lucky Star. I also LOVE the strings in Papa Don't Preach.

GO MADGE!

Harry! · 13-09-2009, 04:42 PM

Yep long live the Queen Of Pop!

A report from a user of allaboutmadonna.com

Warner Music Germany screwing up the chart success of Celebration on purpose??

i translated a very interesting article from a german music/chart blog.

“Confusion in the german single charts. Where is Madonna?

Freitag, 11. September, 2009

Upset fans of pop superstar Madonna are complaining. The new single of the U.S. star is nowhere to be found in the german single charts.

This very unusual fact is concerning not only Madonna’s fans. How can it be, that Madonna’s new and pretty succesful single Celebration has not entered the official single charts yet?

The track was the number 1 downloaded song for at least 7 days right after the digital release. It has reached the number 2 spot on the german airplay charts. But it doesn’t show up in the official single charts.

Our investigations have come up with a very pathetic reason. Did Madonna’s label Warner Music Germany simply want to spare the costs of the download registration fee for Celebration?
The company that issues the weekly single charts demands a registration fee from the music labels if the download of a certain song is to be considered for the data calculation. The fee is a low, 3 digit sum.
It seems, that exactly this sum has not been payed by Warner Music Germany, the label with which Madonna is still under contract with for a few months. The consequence is, that Celebration has not been included in the data calculation for downloaded songs at all and therefore has no chance of making it into the official single charts at the moment.

A company that has earned millions with Madonna is not able to spend this tiny sum for the data registration? Are they trying to punish Madonna for leaving Warner and signing a new contract with concert promoter Live Nation?

Or was there an argument about the costs of the registration fee and Warner wanted to set an example? One thing is clear: a chart in which the most sold song of the week isn’t even included, has little significance and will cause a loss of trust with the consumer.
The consumer will wonder how often it has happened in the past that a song that sold well as a download doesn’t even appear as a footnote on the official charts.

Will Madonna’s song ever appear in the official charts? According to Warner Music, Celebration has been available as a physical Maxi CD since Sept. 4. 2009. The 1 track digital download of the song had the following release dates: Amazon.de lists July 21. 2009 (obviously just a virtual date), Musicload also lists July 21.
For the 3 track digital single the following dates are listed: Amazon.de July 13. 2009 (now that’s a virtual date times 2), Musicload August 4. 2009.
These early dates are strange because Celebration has been available for download for exactly 3 weeks (since August 24. 2009)

We believe that Celebration should be listed in the next issue of the official single charts, way too late. Of course the digital sales of Celebration since August 24. 2009 will be missing. Several tenthousand downloads.

In conclusion, what has happened here can only be described as pathetic. It can not be described as professional Marketing and you would expect something better from a worldwide star like Madonna and those people working with her.
