Billboard: yes Madonna, yes AOTY
While it's possible voters may see this year as the final opportunity to recognize these artists in their lifetimes (McCartney is 84, Mick Jagger is 83, Keith Richards is 82 and Ronnie Wood is 79), Madonna's Confessions II seized the cultural conversation in a way the other two did not, debuting atop the Billboard 200 and making the 68-year-old the first artist to top the chart in the 2020s and three other decades. She was the big winner at the MTV Video Music Awards in September, taking home seven prizes including artist of the year; the Grammys wouldn't exactly be going out on a limb nominating her for album of the year. And while wins for legacy artists in previous years seemed like proof to some that the Grammys were out of touch, one for Madonna would be both a nod to a longtime icon and an acknowledgment of one of the year's buzziest albums — arguably a double win for both Madonna and the academy itself. Shocked?

Madonna - 'CONFESSIONS II'
Well, there are several hints she is doing shows next year (like the tease from the insider DazedMadonna/Drowned Madonna account just a few days ago), the latest rumor being she will do a concert in Rome at Circo Massimo next summer, so we'll see. Most sources are hinting at stadiums/huge outdoor venues. Just asking for a friend, are you and that member with the trans AI Michael Jackson avi the same person? Because...

The clowns in the first pages embarrassing themselves like that once again OT: yes Madonna, yes ratings- Madonna - 'CONFESSIONS II'
And the way that's like the only close up camera moment from the whole broadcast but apparently it's already deleted in the reruns. Anyway, I don't know if they are joking but on Popsquare one member is saying that at the BBC 2 radio they have said Madonna has announced The Confession II Tour so looks like they fumbled the news, and I guess we will get the actual announcement in the upcoming days.- Madonna - 'CONFESSIONS II'
They really did an horrid camera work during the BYL part, although they were too many people and too much going on for such tiny stage. Danceteria was awesome live on the main stage. Can't wait for the official upload!- Did Madonna deserve the VMA for Artist Of the Year?
- MILEY - 'Bass Persuades'
Is she really skipping the VMAs? Even after mentioning MTV on BP Anyways, glad it looks like she is going to be #1 on the B200.- Madonna & Charli xcx - "Danceteria Afterhours"
They way M could not do wrong this era They ate with this remix- Madonna - 'CONFESSIONS II'
Way better, still not buying Who made that setup? M and Charli should be sitting together. - MTV finally uploads Madonna's VMA Performance on YT (new edit)
