Madonna - Celebration

From the early pop genius of Rescue Me and Lucky Star, through the blonde bombshell years of Vogue and Express Yourself to her William Orbit collaborations and beyond, Celebration is a comprehensive journey through the Queen of Pop’s career.

The album boasts a new single, Celebration, co-produced by Oakenfold and Madonna and another brand new track. Okay, so neither song is worth writing home about but, generally, this double album - digitally re-mastered from the original tapes - offers classic hit after classic hit. The re-mastering has given the songs a fresh new edge and they serve to remind what a massive influence she has had on pop culture over the past quarter of a century. Today’s pretenders to her throne seem watered down and hackneyed in comparison. She might be knocking on a bit now but, simply, the likes of Lady GaGa aren't fit to shine Madonna's shoes.
