Madonna Extreme

Madonna will not let a few cracked ribs and broken bones spoil her party. Weeks after falling from her horse on the grounds of her English estate, Madonna is in the mood to dance. Not surprisingly, she wants the world to know. After the serious tone of her last album, 2003’s “Amerian Life,” Madonna wanted this collection to be happy and buoyant. “It was like, honey, I want to dance,” she tells Billboard during a face-to-face interview in her New York hotel suite. “I wanted to lift myself and others up with this record.” The new album, “Confessions on a Dance Floor,’ is due Nov. 15 from Warner Bros. (one day earlier internationally). A special edition. which includes a picture book and bonus track, arrives in December. “I wanted a record with no ballads: Madonna says,” wanted there to be no breaks, with one song segueing into the next — just like in a disco.” The 12-tratk album was inspired by the many remixes her songs have received over the years. “Whenever I make records,

The  Drowned World Tour  was the fifth  concert tour  by  Madonna . It supported her seventh and eighth studio albums  Ray of Light  and  Music  respectively, and visited Europe and North America.   It was also her first tour in eight years, following  The Girlie Show World Tour  in 1993. The tour was supposed to start in 1999, but was delayed until 2001 as Madonna gave birth to her son Rocco, got married to  Guy Ritchie , was working on  Music , and was busy filming  The Next Best Thing .   When the tour was decided, Madonna appointed  Jamie King  as choreographer and the tour was planned in a short timespan of three months, including signing up the dancers, musicians, and technicians.  Designer  Jean Paul Gaultier  developed the costumes in such way that they indicated different phases of Madonna's career.  The tour garnered positive reception from contemporary critics.

Like a Virgin  is a much harder album, much more aggressive than the first record. The songs on that were pretty weak. On this one I’ve chosen all the songs and I want them to be all hits—no fillers. That’s why I’ve done outside songs as well as six of my own… I wanted every song to be strong. — Madonna , about the songs in Like a Virgin. The original track listing was: “ Material Girl “, written by Peter Brown and Robert Rans (3:56) “ Angel “, written by Madonna and Stephen Bray (3:53) “ Like a Virgin “, written by Tom Kelly, Billy Steinberg (3:35) “ Over and Over “, written by Madonna and Stephen Bray (4:09) “ Love Don’t Live Here Anymore “, written by Miles Gregory (4:45) “ Dress You Up “, written by Andrea LaRusso, Peggy Stanziale (3:58) “ Shoo-Bee-Doo “, written by Madonna (5:14) “ Pretender “, written by Madonna and Stephen Bray (4:28) “ Stay “, written by Madonna and Stephen Bray (4:04) The album entered the Billboard 200 at #3 and it peaked at

Die Another Day  is the  soundtrack  for the 20th  James Bond   film of the same name , and was released by  Warner Bros. Records  on November 12, 2002. The soundtrack was composed by  David Arnold , his third outing as the composer for a James Bond movie. Frequent collaborator Nicholas Dodd orchestrated and conducted the score. Arnold again made use of electronic rhythm elements in his score, and included two of the new themes he created for  The World Is Not Enough . The first, originally used as Renard's theme for the previous film, is heard during the mammoth "Antonov" cue on the recording, and is written for piano. The second new theme, most easily described as Bond's romance theme, is heard here on the "Going Down Together" track. There is also a second romance theme in "Die Another Day" which was previously used on the  The World Is Not Enough  soundtrack titled "Christmas in Turkey", and can be heard during the Moneyp
