It was probably last place for me at first but I’ve found myself having a real moment with it. Not sure how far it’ll have ascended in my ranking as the album is just so killer all the way through. Agreed that it is such a thrill to know Madonna can deliver yet another creative masterpiece this far into her career. She continues to set the standard for female pop stars as this sort of critical and commercial success is unprecedented for someone in their 60s.

July 23Jul 23 At least she gets certified albums in the UK because her last two in America have not been certified and I very much doubt this will unless she pulls something out of the bag.

It's very hard for artists who rely on physical sales to get certified in America now though
