So, not to get too far off subject, but I've seen mention in a couple of the reviews that there isn't necessarily any outright "commercial hits" screaming for radio. I thought about it a little bit and really though, aside from the lead singles from COADF and HC, none of the rest of the songs from those records were really "radio - hit friendly" in a sense that commercially they would smash, and I'm saying that as someone who thinks Confessions was PERFECT/FLAWLESS etc.
Anyway, I was reading Slant's review of COADF, and this line struck me,

One of the few pop singers whose albums are best appreciated in their entirety and not lopped off into "hit singles," Madonna... has succeeded at creating a dance-pop odyssey with an emotional, if not necessarily narrative, arc

And when I think about it, that observation is very applicable to the past 13 or 14 years of her career, and I get the feeling that this sentiment will also ring true especially for MDNA.
