Madonna readying greatest hits collection

Madonna will put out a new greatest hits collection this fall. No word yet on what it will be, but I'm hoping for a career retrospective, since a set of hits since 2001 wouldn't be all that great. This follows her 1987 dance compilation, You Can Dance, her 1990 greatest hits, the classic The Immaculate Collection, her 1995 ballads set Something to Remember, and her 2001 second greatest hits set, GHV2.

Here's my suggestion: a 3-CD set with each CD representing a different decade (plus one new track on each album that hearkens to that era, an '80s-flavored dance track, a '90s-styled ballad, and a '00s electronic track.

that sounds ace. i think the one thing we can guarantee is that they will totally f**k it up and it will be even less comprehensive than the immaculate collection :(

We'll see. This is Warner Bros. last chance to put something out by her, so maybe they'll do her right. Despite the Immaculate Collection's oversights, that collection is near perfect in its own way.
