Albums don't need to be best sellers to win AOTY lmao. Plus critically the one in your avi won AOTY with a metascore of 70. Madonna at least has an 82

Bloated, too long, dated production. Some great lyrics but that's it. When you lack in the vocal department if you also lack in the production and make an album that doesn't end, you end up doing the opposite of what you aspire: you end up being boring. Also just because you can doesn't mean you should.

I mean she has already sold over 15k tickets for a show in a stadium happening in like 2 or 3 weeks. That's already a great start.

In a month from now this woman will have performed in like 5 more stadiums in central asia like that, watch this post lmao.

Yeah i don't know wtf happened to her since she has gone independent but her visuals overall suffered. Not just for Tension.

Sh's isn't responsible for parenting other people's kids.

Also...from a visual / design / packaging point of view this album aged incredibly well. The font used, the white backgrounds...everything is incredibly sleek even for 2026

Her VMA performance is already at 1M even though the upload came like 2 days after the show!

OFF Love Without Words

I don't think so...but i was just thinking...what if it's from one of the other 8 songs that still didn't come out? Anyway i was checking and Madonna streams on spotify are someting: 2026: +2B already (as of last week...so still 3 months to go) 2025: 1,742B 2024: 1,94B 2023: 1.7B 2022: 1.1B 2021: 872M Basically even without Confessions II, this year would already be her biggest streaming year and we still have 3 months to go meaning she has a shot of getting to 2.5b in 2026

Madonna streams in: 2026: +2B already (as of last week...so still 3 months to go) 2025: 1,742B 2024: 1,94B 2023: 1.7B 2022: 1.1B 2021: 872M When all is said and done this year she may triple her streams when compared to just 5 years ago. Whats so amazing about this? If she hadn't released a new album this would already be her biggest streaming year yet. Quite the feat. Also in about 1 year / 1 year and half she's gonna have 5 songs above 1B...4 of those solo.

She was wearing that huge thing on her knee (leg actually) for her previous entire tour. The only part she didn't wear it was for Vogue / Human Nature / Crazy For You and she wasn't moving much different to right now during that section. (she basically walked for Vogue and sat down ) My bet is they are doing the same thing here. I mean...the last time she started a tour it was 3 months after waking up from a coma and having sepsis. Compared to that this is "nothing". If there's a person that will figure it out is Madonna. She has all the means to do it and i'm sure she's surrounded by the best doctors all the time.

Linday Lowhand omg

I mean: Beyonce never got for albums like Beyonce, Lemonade or Renaissance and got it for Cowboy Carter. Bruno Mars got it in a year with severe competition and almost no one expected it. It felt bittersweet at best. Plus the album is probably one of his weakest lmao. Beck got it when no one was counting on it and Beyonce was nominated for the Beyonce album. Harry Styles winning for THAT album was...a choice. A Mumford and Sons album won in 2013. Jon Batiste won in 2022. Some of these albums are legit great but didn't have a lot of sales nor were they cultural moments (Jon Batiste), others were hardly the best albums of the year critically (Bruno Mars with a 70 on Metacritic) or commercially (Beck) Madonna could definitely win. Her album was a huge comeback for her. It was critically acclaimed, it hit #1 in almost all major markets, she's been getting collabs left and right and has kept herself on the news for most of the time since the album released plus the narrative would be amazing and very fitting. Madonna, the best selling female artist ever, now a 68 year old woman winning AOTY would basically set the stage for every female artist that ATRL stans for that are also ageing and after she has been ignored for basically almost all of her career. Plus winning the award without toning it down for the GP and in a time the conservative far right is in the government would be such a moment. Plus it would mark the first dance album to win this since Daft Punk. Anyway...imagine going back a year ago and telling everyone this is even a conversation to have lmao. We truly came back from the trenches after the last 3 eras.

Oh you must be hating this year. Always glued in every Madonna topic and all that
