- Had more UK number one singles (13) than any other female solo artist.
- Achieved the chart double (simultaneous number one album and single) more times (4) than any other female solo artist.
- Completed the highest grossing tour in history (her recent Sticky & Sweet tour) for a female artist.

Celebration brings together 36 tracks spanning Madonna’s entire career so far and includes a newly recorded song Revolver featuring Lil Wayne.

Celebration The Video Collection DVD with 47 tracks is released tomorrow, Monday 28th September 2009.

September 22, 2009 - Behind even the most jaded facade beats the heart of someone with powerful memories of Madonna. A pop icon with an undeniable gift for provocation and reinvention, the singer-writer-producer-actor has entered her 50s as a regal sort of musical stateswoman. But in the past 30 years, she's been virtually everything else: a superstar, a lightweight, an unapologetic sex object, a godzillionaire businesswoman, a movie star, an author (of sorts) and a dance-floor-filler of the highest order.

On Sept. 29, she looks back in a collection called Celebration, which attempts to sum up Madonna's remarkably successful career — spanning seven No. 1 albums and more than three dozen Top 10 singles — with 34 remastered hits and two new collaborations, one with DJ Paul Oakenfold and one with rapper Lil' Wayne. Celebration will be available in numerous forms (including a double-disc set, a single-disc distillation and a DVD of videos), but NPR Music has assembled some of its highlights here for the week leading up to its release.

Most of these songs will be instantly familiar to virtually anyone, so NPR Music has assembled a blue-ribbon panel of Madonna fans — culled from NPR's stable of music producers, pop-culture bloggers, arts reporters, newsmagazine hosts and justice correspondents — to offer memories, commentary and analysis of the compilation's highlights.

We are happy to announce the re-launch of RaisingMalawi.org.

Three years ago Raising Malawi was founded to bring an end to the extreme poverty and hardship endured by Malawi's 2,000,000 orphans and vulnerable children once and for all.

We’ve launched this site to raise awareness of the dire conditions in Malawi, rally people behind the cause, and to let you know how you can be part of the solution.

At RaisingMalawi.org, you can learn why we must help Malawians, find ways to volunteer at home and abroad, and get your friends involved. You can also check out the Raising Malawi store and purchase goods that will benefit the children of Malawi.

To encourage your support and donations Madonna has issued a challenge and for every dollar you donate she will match it one to one, dollar for dollar. Every bit will help make a difference.

We know the challenges Malawians face are hard to imagine, but we believe that a different reality is possible. If we work together, our effort can do more than just change Malawi—it can foster change for vulnerable populations throughout Africa.

We can’t continue to turn our backs on those in greatest need. This is our chance to lend support. The time has come to raise Malawi.

How do you plan to help?

Madonna fans! We’ve just launched a brand new contest allowing you to win a ‘Celebration’ promo-only CD!

Are you ready to play with us? To do so, you will need to design your own ‘Celebration’ single cover...

We have 10 promo-only CDs ready to ship, so click here for more info and to enter the contest now!

As announced earlier, a second version of the ‘Celebration’ video has been created and features footage of fans filmed during the Barcelona and Milan stops of Madonna’s 2009 ‘Sticky & Sweet Tour’!

What was billed as a special tribute to Michael Jackson starring his sister, Janet, turned into an even more epic performance: Madonna took the stage at tonight's MTV Video Music Awards to honor an artist she called "one of the greats."

In a long, heartfelt speech about her personal relationship to Jackson, Madonna recalled the moment she learned that he had died. "All I could think about in that moment was I had abandoned him. That we had abandoned him," she said. "That we had let this magnificent creature who had once set the world on fire slip thorugh the cracks. Most of us had turned our backs on him. … There will never be anyone like him again. He was a king."

"There's a whole lot of crotch-grabbing and Moonwalking going on in my house," she added, saying her two sons are huge MJ fans. "Long live the King!"
