Madonna has revealed that she is back in the studio - and could be gearing up to release her first new music in three years.
The superstar confirmed the news on Instagram by posting a suitably dramatic shot of herself singing into a mic with the message: "Feels so good to be working on music again!".
Madonna's last album, Rebel Heart, was released in March 2015, so there's a good chance this could be for her fourteenth studio album.
Little is known so far about Madonna's next musical move. Rebel Heart saw her assemble an array of hit producers, including Diplo, Ariel Rechtshaid and Avicii. The collection peaked at Number 2 on the Official Albums Chart, pipped to the post by Sam Smith's debut In The Lonely Hour.
Madonna has scored a seriously impressive 13 Number 1 singles and 12 Number 1 albums in the UK - look back at her complete chart history here.
Last year, OfficialCharts.com revealed her Official Top 40 biggest selling singles in celebration of 34 years since her debut single Holiday. Check out the full list here.

I'm excited! Rebel Heart was her best album in years, and I hope this new album is fresh too! I just hope she works on improving her vocals - I want to hear her voice clearly like in the Ray of Light album.
rmckie713
Hopefully she will lead the industry and not copy it with this new album, Bringing a new type of music to the scene, Hopefully.
rmckie713
I want Thumping great dance songs and beautiful ballads.

My prediction: It's going to have a latin vibe. She's working with Starrah right now.

Can't wait for that!
Shame she doesn't release singles in between anymore.
After all, she's all about music.
Ritchard Mckie
Madge and Kylie with new albums in 2018, FABULOUS.
Joe Morgan
And Lisa Stansfield too, on the same day as Kylie.

I wonder who Madonna will rip off this time. No doubt her new album will be written and produced by half a dozen people like her last four albums were. Surely she has picked up enough skill over the last 35 years to write and produce something by herself without needing a team around her to pull most of the strings. She hasn't self-penned the lyrics to any of her songs since Gambler in the mid-1980s. It's still amusing to think Sam Smith's debut album, in its 41st week on the chart, held Rebel Flop off the top spot in the UK. The embarrassment! I'm sure Madonna will be hoping that Sam's new album is dead and buried by the time hers is released. She also better hope the new album sells more than the pitiful 75,000 copies Rebel Flop has sold in the UK. Partners by Barbra Streisand has sold nearly 400,000 copies. Now THAT's how you release a successful album as an OAP.

obviously a childs comment! RebelHeart was leaked months before release and still got to number 2 in the charts! while gaga only managed number 3. Madonna writes most of her songs. Live to tell was written in a day and is one of the most iconic ballads ever written. Do your research you bafoon. these kind od comments just make you look Dumb to people who follow music properly. Madonna doesn't care about how many albums she sell you idiot . she has had 12 number one albums, makes her money from tours/ you foolish boy

Human Nature 96 s Holywater 2015, Amazing 2000, America Life, I dont give a F@@k, I love Newyork, Rebelheart, Rescue Me, Push, , Inside Out, Candy Shop, Don't tell me, Iconic, Illuminati , Little Star Frozen, Messiah, Ghostown, Masterpiece Sorry! the list is endless.........SONGS MADONNA WROTE ON HER OWN AND WROTE THE MELODY! Get your facts right you imbecile! use wikipedia 1st or actually get some knowledge first.................

-Surely she has picked up enough skill over the last 35 years to write and produce something by herself- ? ? ?
She's Madonna and done EVERYTHING by herself, including gathering the best producers and writing her own songs and from NOTHING to a billion dollar girl, like the so called american dream goes.
I don't think Madonna cares what we write.
Her hits are the tours now. Not selling singles or albums anymore.
She does what she wants now(I guess).
Do you like anything about her?
Especially Michael, Prince & Madonna ruled the 80's and their hits are immortal.
Martin Austin
You sad little nobody, nothing worse than a bitter old Queen.
MiloDexter
I think before you start hurling abuse and calling people imbeciles, you might want to check wikipedia yourself. Not one song you've listed was written solely by her. She co-wrote every one of them (including Live to Tell) with, in most cases, the album's producers. The lesson for today? Always get your facts straight before mounting your high horse.
Oh and the correct spelling is buffoon, not bafoon.
Lio Carvallo
Hahaha...you can critcize her and her music all you want, but at the end of the day she's laughing all the way to the bank! And let's keep it real, no matter what you may think about her, she made a huge name for herself in the music industry changing a generation's fashion, way to express themselves, killed many taboos in society, she changed the concept in concerts leaving the bar high in performance and how to do a show! Madonna in everyone's mouth and even the haters and those like you....and that's a magical thing to achieve.
MiloDexter
I wasn't criticizing anyone dumbass. Merely correcting them. As I said to the idiot above, always get your facts straight. And those taboos you speak of? Every one of them is even more of a problem today...unfortunately.
