Madonna is to release deluxe editions "for many of her landmark albums" as part of her brand new record deal with Warner Music Group.
Coinciding with Madonna's 63rd birthday today (August 16), the announcement reveals that The Queen of Pop has signed a new, multi-year global agreement with Warner to reissue her discography. Madonna was previously signed to the Warner Music Group and its subsidiaries from 1982 to 2007, before signing with Universal's Interscope Records for a three-album deal.
Kicking off in 2022 which marks her 40th anniversary in music, the best-selling female musician of all time is partnering with the label for an "extensive series of catalog releases", which will include personally curated deluxe versions of some of her classic bodies of work. Madonna is also to "introduce unique releases for special events" as part of the project.

— Madonna (@Madonna) August 16, 2021
All 14 of Madonna's studio albums plus soundtrack, compilation and live albums are included in part of the deal including her three most recent albums MDNA, Rebel Heart, and Madame X, which were released via Interscope but will be part of Warner's roster starting in 2025.
"Since the very beginning, Warner Music Group has helped bring my music and vision to all my fans around the world with the utmost care and consideration," Madonna stated. "They have been amazing partners, and I am delighted to be embarking on this next chapter with them to celebrate my catalogue from the last 40 years."

Further comment was provided from Madonna's long-time manager Guy Oseary who said the deal 'will bring to fruition what so many of Madonna’s incredible fans have been patiently waiting for: a celebration of her groundbreaking catalogue.'
Madonna has scored more Number 1 singles and albums in the UK than any other female artist in history, with 13 and 12 chart toppers respectively on the UK's Official Singles and Albums Charts, while her 1990 greatest hits The Immaculate Collection is the UK's bestselling compilation ever by a female artist.

I'm a major Madonna fan but I will only buy these re-releases if the bonus material is worth it (like extended remixes but also instrumentals, b-sides, original singles versions, music videos, all of it, yes) but if it's to re-release unoriginal stuff like the True Blue 35 years with just the extended versions that were all released on CD's by Germany's Sire branch in the early 90's and with just boring stuff like live versions and some demos, I won't bother with these releases.

There was also intrumental versions there? Was 18 tracks instead of 9... and remastered!

Such great news! I'm sure they will finally start doing things right!
Hope they ask for award certifications of her albums and singles as many need update.
Warner was never perfect but was 100 times better than UMG marketing Madonna and doing the right releases at the right time.

Fantastic news! Any hint of a new album also in the new Warner deal? 😉🥰
thierry henon
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Madonna! What a legend! So looking forward to the releases!

Was hopping the Official Chart would make an article about her updated sales as it seems she already have 4 singles/songs that sold over 1 million units (including streaming). Their latest article about it was already 3 years ago.

Her last three albums sold more or equal to that of her so called replacement Lady Gagas last 3 albums. As for Kylie, shes a local talent. Outside of the UK her last effort based on Madonna's already disco-fied album sold a paltry 90'000
Copies. It hit number 1 in 2 countries. 😂
Jack fitsy
Her latest album Madame X hit number 1 in 12 countries, Australia being one, which reminds me.... Kylies dud disco effort.... just the UK & Australia 🤣🤣🤣 which was a crass effort to keep the sales rolling. A Confessions rip off which broke the record for topping the most charts world wide. 42. Kylie has sold 70 million albums Vs Madonna's 315 million albums. I wont mention singles sales and certainly not tours, Kylie has never filled a stadium off her own back. Her last tour was also as an add on to a festival circuit. LOL. As for old songs, nobody would even admit to listening to her old songs because they were manufactured ! She makes music for a few gays and thats it. Her music has about as much depth as a slice of bread. She sits beneath Madonna and always has. Always will.
