Madonna Celebration



Details about Madonna's upcoming greatest hits collection are trickling out. Check out the cool retro cover for one. In addition to new tracks "Celebration" and "Revolver," it's been confirmed that "Everybody," "Express Yourself," "4 Minutes," and "Vogue" will be included. Additionally, the album will be released in 1-CD and 2-CD versions, as well as a DVD of her videos.

I'm surprised to hear that "Everybody" will be included, since, although it was Madonna's first single, it wasn't a major hit. Certainly we can assume "Holiday" will appear, given the title, and what Madonna greatest hits set wouldn't be complete without classics "Like a Virgin," "Material Girl," "Papa Don't Preach," and "Like a Prayer?"

But if a single like "Everybody" can show up, can other more obscure singles appear too? How about "Gambler," a great track that never got a US release. Or "Spotlight," a personal favorite. Perhaps there will be different tracklistings in the US and the UK--a US collection would be incomplete with "Take a Bow," her longest-running US #1, but that was hardly a major hit in the UK, where "Sorry" and "American Pie" were #1 hits, despite never making the US top 40.

That wasn't a very big hit, and since it's kind of a novelty, I'd be surprisd if it showed up here.
