Her tour Celebration ended with very good buzz (the Rio show drew 1.6 million audience). It looks like people are reacting better to her music and Madonna herself.

 

She was in the studio with Max Martin

 

She looks hot lately

 

She was featured on The Weekend's Popular which will cross 1 Billion streams on Spotify

 

Is it enough for Madonna to score another global hit? Do you think she will score another global hit?

Not really, but that's ok. 

Hopefully it's with Like A Prayer again with Deadpool & Wolverine released this week. 

She could get something as big as Padam Padam if she plays her cards right. And that would already be truly amazing for her age! I doubt she could get more. Radio stations will never play her the way they used to.

Never say never.

 

She just hasn't picked good singles since Hard Candy (yes, I'm including Ghosttown which sounds like a OneRepublic song). She still has an ear for great melodies but the production is weak on a lot of her later work. If she came back with a true banger that was a straightforward pop song, I could see it.

 

Madonna has definitely had a bit of a career renaissance this last year, and the general public loves a comeback story. It'd take a lot of work on her front and good marketing, but I could see it happening, especially if the gays were behind her and made it viral.

maybe on a feature 

she will continue getting moments like Popular, BTUTTB, Frozen etc but i think a global smash is unlikely

No

She doesn't need to

Whenever people doubted her, she came back stronger so never say never

I mean, how many 65-year-olds getting global hits do you see. But if someone could do it it would be her 

I don't think so sadly. But it would be fun if she did

I honestly think Like a Prayer streams are gonna rise a lot this weekend. As far as a new album with a hit single, it really depends. Never count her out. If she drops another dance album, maybe

I do wish we could see her have one last Confessions-level type of an era...that'd be a much more iconic bookend to her career than....Madame X...

With a collab with younger popular artists maybe

Didn't she recently score 2 hits with Please Please Please and Espresso? 

 

Not unless it were a collaboration, I think. Elton John's recent song remakes with other artists did extremely well so I could see that being a success if he were to work with Madonna. 

 

It would be cool if she could let out one last WW smash with the right song and promotion but I honestly don't think she cares anymore.

I hope so too

 

It would be cool to have another huge era again

I love Madonna but her last really good album was Confessions. She stopped being the trailblazer that she once was and turned to fads. If she can come up with something as amazing and fresh as she once did, she would have an amazing comeback.

No but she does not need one, she's the biggest artist on the planet lol

She should make a Confessions 2.0 and serve the looks she's been serving the last month. I think that'd do wonders for her. 

I can she getting a huge resurgence when she dies. 

The thing about Madonna is she always surprise so who knows

I can see a last Top 10 hit WW by herself but I think successful album sales are over for her, unless a GH maybe

Every time they said she was over she came back with a #1 hit so we'll see

As a feature, sure. 

 

As a solo artist, she hasn't had one since 4 Minutes. 

 

But I can see Madonna trying to collab with a major pop artist or trying to get featured on a K Pop or Reggaeton track for a global hit. Of course, the other artist will be carrying the song but she'll still get the credit as a feature.
