Thoughts?

I think Madonna will do just fine with her upcoming LP. ‘Hard Candy’ didn’t do that well in the US, but it sold moderately WW. I would say her strength is the quality of music she possesses on her records and her large solid fan-base. People are still checking for her, hence the mega selling tours and album sales thereof. She came out a very long time ago, but she still couldn’t be more relevant if you ask me. I am 19 and started listening to her just a few years ago through her ‘Confessions on a Dancefloor’ (of which I believe was a huge commercial success), I thought the album was EPIC and I started liking her from there. So my point is that Madonna has the power to appeal to different generations, varying from her original fan-base to current pop followers. Her success will continue to hold stern if she applies her previous formulas and perhaps add a tiny bit something new on the table to get the attention of the masses. I’m looking forward to her new material and I am certain she’ll deliver.

Who cares. Her music is L A M E!!!!!!!

I forgot that Hard Candy only went gold…. It should have been promoted and marketed better, but given that it was her last album with WB, i understand why they didn’t…. Since this is going to be her debut for her LiveNation contract, I know this will be heavily promoted and marketed well followed by another great tour… She will be ok b/c she is MADONNA!!!! lol….

Yaaassss 2012 will be Madonna Justin timberlake usher and of course my girl Rih will dominate with LoudR lol also we could get new Janet and Katy Perry

Madonna will sell well WW, not so much in the US because she is over 50. Janet is almost a lost cause in the us re her music and WW she has no audience. Mariah’s last 2 cds barely went gold and she promotes more than madonna so we’ll see.

REALLY tired of people acting like it’s a struggle for ANY female to sell an album in this appocoliptic “Post Gaga” era… lol Gaga isn’t as big as everyone thinks, her album sales have been sliding since album 1 and even Katy Perry’s last 2 albums have sold more than “The Fame Monster” and “Born This Way”.
People only think Gaga is so big because she’s always whoring herself out and believe me Madonna will have no problem selling an album, “Hard Candy” may not have sold amazingly but it still sold 3.5m WW which is good for an album that wasn’t promoted that much and had only 2 major singles and incase we’ve forgotten “Confessions on a dancefloor” was critically and commercially VERY successful and sold like 12,000,000 copies which is more than “The Fame” did.

I think as long as Madonna just goes into the studio and comes up with stuff because it’s what she wants to make and not to fit in she’ll do fine, especially with the team she’s surrounding herself with and with this being the first album on her Live Nation contract the promo etc is gonna be through the roof

The ONLY Queen of Pop is comming!

I Don’t understand why this article included Gaga. Madonna needs to focus on the power and influence of ADELE if she wants to have an impact on the charts with her next album because ADELE is smashing everyone commercially including GAGA. Adele’s 21 album has stayed at the #1 spot like GOD KNOWS HOW LONG!!!!! Born This Way is not even in the (TOP 10) anymore
