you really think an album release is something "arbitrary" lol

In the long run? yes absolutely 

Rushing something along to get it out on a certain date if it's not ready will only have a negative outcome on the music 

 

or are you under some illusion that MADONNA of all people needs to try to consider commercial success for her 15th album at the age of 67 

which wouldn't make any sense because releasing an album in November is commercial suicide

But I hope we all could help Grandma to get another no.1 hot 200 like Madame "I Did A Lot of Jobs" 🥰

She now has 9th no.1 album on hot 200. I think we as a fanbase should make this new record the 10th. 

I'm beyond excited for this. There's nothing like the build up and being in a Madonna era.

I have a good feeling about this not being just a great album but a great Madonna album. Most fans and probably the GP have all been waiting for a 'dance' album. 

Warner being involved hopefully means much better promotion and a bigger budget for everything than she had with Interscope. 

Madonna going back to working with Stuart is a fantastic because they've worked together on a number of tours as well as Confessions so they know each other well and it just feels natural. Stuart's grown as a producer since Confessions and still produced fantastic music of all genres. Vocally, I hope he has managed to persuade Madonna to dial down the autotune or at the very least make It more subtle.

It will be interesting to see if Madonna has explored House music as she wanted to according to that fan video from ages ago and if any of the rumoured collabs with Sickick, Max Martin, Honey Dijon, Jamiexx, Floating Points and Pink Pantheress turn up on the album in any sort of way. 

I'm hoping for no features on the album in terms of vocals with other artists but it wouldn't suprise me if The Weeknd, Kylie Minogue or Kendrick Lamar were on the album and these days it seems like there has to be at least one or two features on any album.  If anything do a full on remix album with features a bit later on. 

In terms of formats, I'm sure there will be numerous vinyl editions. I'm hopeful for a decent deluxe edition on CD, maybe do a few different editions - each with a different bonus track to boost sales. 

I hope that we get numerous remixes of singles and non singles along the way by the best remixers too, not just Offer Nissim and Tracey Young. I expect there will be something by them but some other producers would be welcome.  Obviously Stuart is almost a definite for remixes. 

I'm hopeful that the Celebration tour DJ mix that Stuart released is a good indication of the album or at least a mood board. 

Hopefully we'll get the first single this year but I wonder if it may be 2026. 

I'm not sure I can see Madonna touring next year but I guess you never know anything. It is Madonna after all...

I AM SHAKING!!! 

 

Confessions Pt. 1 came out when I was in high school and completely re-shaped my taste in music. 

 

Mother please give us everything we need! 

Pop emergency  According to this account the lead single will be released on Friday, October 10th

They are not reliable according to Madonna-Infinity users, but fingers crossed! 

This is going to be her best music since confession 1!

I doubt they'll release anything this year. It will get lost between Taylor album and christmas music. January - February would be perfect time to release lead single.

November would be a good idea, don't act like the year is over.

There will be so many high profile releases in November, Madonna's single will definitely get lost in the shuffle. She needs a quite month like January to launch an era imo.

I can't believe the Madonna is coming back soon  Love that she's back with Warner too and isn't afraid to compare this work directly to some of her best, I really think this could be a major comeback for her.

People claim it's coming in October and some want it to be released in November but i prefer a quiter month for new releases like January.

Madame X reached #1 thanks to tour bundles. If I remember right her sales without bundles were 45k-50k.

If the album is coming out next year it does not make sense for it to come out next month.

She should hold off until next year. October releases have no time to build. It killed Gaga's Disease when the Xmas music started to seep in. If that was released at the top of the year instead it would've been a bigger hit.

 

edit: + DWAS smashing still didn't help.

Girl, it's a Madonna release. Not one is expecting it to have a big commercial success. And we're in 2025. Release dates are totally irrelevant these days when you can have a hit just going viral on tiktok or when your fanbase are spamming it everywhere.

 

If the song is good, it'll do cute numbers. But that's it. 

Is true that her new single is coming October 14? I've just seen that on X!

The rumors are saying October 10th

 

The only possible scenario for an album release in 2026 and a single in October, would be for the album to come out in January / February which it wouldn't be too bad if they are planning on having two singles out by the time the album comes out.

 

Having said that, I would rather for her to wait until January / February for the singe and have the album release in May / June 2026
