After being called upon by the Queen of Pop herself to help turn her 12th studio album Rebel Heart into a hit, the Swedish chart topper admitted he couldn't wait to hit the studio with the iconic star.
But despite initially hitting it off things suddenly took a turn for the worst when M's ego apparently got the better of her.
Chatting exclusively to Daily Star Online, Avicii admitted he clashed creatively with the Living for Love singer.
He revealed: "At the beginning we were all on the same page and then...I wasn't....happy with the final product."
To speak out against Madonna takes some guts but it seems Avicii was not afraid.
He continued to say that he preferred his leaked demo to the finished product.
He said: "I thought it was better. It was more me."
"I'd love to work with Adele and Rihanna," he said.
"I'm super excited for Rihanna's record, I haven't heard any of it yet either.
"She is one of the most talented artists of our time."
Maybe Madonna should have listened to Avicii as Rebel Heart turned out to be her lowest selling album in 20 years.
