Madonna new album title 'MDNA' criticised by anti-drugs group
Madonna has received criticism from anti-drugs campaigners over her new album's title. The singer has confirmed that her 12th studio LP will be called MDNA, which is an abbreviation of her name.
However, an anti-drugs group has now slammed the star for using the title, saying it is too similar to the class A drug MDMA. Lucy Dawe from Cannabis Skunk Sense told The Sun that Madonna has made "an ill-advised decision" regarding the album name.
The tabloid also reports that Madonna revealed the release date for MDNA as March 12 during her interview on The Graham Norton Show, but this has yet to be confirmed.
The star has announced that she plans to embark on a new world tour later this year to support the release of her new music.

I collaborated again with William Orbit who tends to make me more introspective and a bit… I don’t know… His songs tend to be… I don’t want to say dark, but more thoughtful and introspective.

I hope you realize that Live Nation is not a record label. She signed a so called 360 degree deal with Live Nation, but that doesn't mean her albums are going to be released on Live Nation (simply because, LN is not a label).

Not true. P+C only means the copyright belongs to the company that is Live Nation. Interscope is the label that releases and distributes the album and singles.

There is not a rule for alphabetizing the Producers list. 'Alle Benassi' did not Produce nearly as much of the album as William Orbit or Martin Solveig. If you go to other Madonna album pages, Madonna is always first, then the other Main producers. It is NEVER alphabetical. Putting Alle Benassi's name first makes it seem like that person did the most Producing, which is completely incorrect and confusing for a Reader of the page. This page should be in correlation with Madonna's other album pages.

Choosing which person you choose to be listed first is a single person's opinion. ABC order is the way to go, whether it is or isn't in the guidelines. In which, I highly suggest it be added, as in EVERY CASE (expect for Madonna, for some strange reason) the producers are labelled in ABC order.

According to BBC Radio 2 "Masterpiece" is their "Record of the Week" and the single release date (possibly radio date) is April 2, 2012.

I think the Critical Reception section could do with being a little more balanced. It currently only covers articles that have given the album four out of five stars. I know several reviews that haven't been so generous, an example being the UK's Mail on Sunday which awarded it two out of five. Remember it's an encyclopedia, not an advert. Chicago and UK Magazines loves Madonna (11/12 under 60 score)78.143.204.176 (talk) 20:29, 20 March 2012 (UTC). I sugest Reviews only from Metacritic.
Thus far, the so-called "Professional Ratings" box include reviews from sources that are hardly even a slight authority on music, especially that half-witted rag "The Daily Mirror". Compare this ratings box with Hard Candy and previous albums; it gives a false impression of critical acclaim from quality sources. Remove the review box from MDNA until reviews from half-way decent sources filter through. Hamburger Abendblatt?

I've removed content from the reception section, prose about reviews by the Daily Mirror and Attitude (magazine). One is a tabloid magazine, the other a lifestyle magazine, and neither of them are considered professional reviewers by Metacritic (list) or Wikipedia:ALBUMS/REVSITE. They shouldn't be included here as there will be plenty of professional, more notable reviewers, which as WP:ALBUMSEL says, should be considered. Dan56 (talk) 02:16, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
It's mentioned by WP:Albums, which I linked above. Daily Mirror and Attitude are mentioned by neither. I'd like to add that an album by a major artist like Madonna is bound to get extensive critical assessments, so there will be a range of reviews to include. The reception section should be exclusive for the most notable/professional reviewers so it can be concise and not undue. If the Daily Mirror and Attitude were one of the few reviewing it, then sure, but like I mentioned before, there one of the least notable that available. The album has not been released yet either, and there will be atleast 20, 25 reviews available to pick from, that will be one of the notable ones mentioned by Metacritic and WP:Albums. That goes for those track-by-track reviews too, if it's secondary to the publication's official review. In this case, Petridis' Guardian review, rather than Cragg's track-by-track for The Guardian.

Currently the release box at the bottom says that Live Nation/Interscope/Universal is the label for MDNA but the sources provided says otherwise. I normally don't edit music articles but based on the sources provided the table should read like this:

---|---|---|---|---|
Australia[1] | March 23, 2012 | CD, digital download | Interscope, Live Nation, Universal | Standard, deluxe |
Germany[2] | Interscope, Universal | |||
Canada[3] | March 26, 2012 | Universal | ||

United Kingdom[6][7] | Polydor | |||
United States[8] | Boy Toy, Inc., Live Nation, Interscope | |||
United States[9] | April 10, 2012 | LP | Deluxe |
If the sources say Polydor for the UK release then Polydor should be in the United Kingdom row. This is the same for the United States release where Boy Toy, Inc. is indicated as a label. Now if there is a source saying that MDNA was released on the same label (Interscope, Live Nation, Universal) in all countries that are mentioned then please provide. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 06:14, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Madonna has done all of the things you have named before. She's had homosexuals in her videos since "Vogue" and many others since, she put men in heels on the Rolling Stone magazine cover in 1991, don't even get me started on the black and white scale that Madonna has been doing since the 80's and many videos since, and the erotically explicit material has been done since her start with the "Burning Up" video and many others since. Madonna even used erotically explicit scenes in her "Justify My Love" video, had homoerotic material in that same video as well and also had a black and white scale on the very same video so your point has no leg to stand on considering Madonna has done all of which before Gaga was even in middle school.
