}} ''MDNA'' is the twelfth studio album by American singer-songwriter Madonna. It was released on March 23, 2012, by Live Nation Entertainment and Interscope Records. It is also Madonna's first album not to be associated with Warner Bros. Records, the label she was signed to since 1982. As well as Madonna producing the album she worked with a variety of producers such as Alle Benassi, Benny Benassi, Demolition Crew, Free School, Michael Malih, Indiigo, William Orbit and Martin Solveig. ''MDNA'' lyrically explores themes such as partying, the drug MDMA, love for music, infatuation, heartbreak, revenge and separation. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics. Upon its release, it debuted at number one in many countries worldwide, becoming her eighth album to top the ''Billboard'' 200 chart and giving her a record for the most number-one albums by a solo artist in Australia and the United Kingdom. It became the world's twelfth best-selling album of 2012 and has since sold over two million copies worldwide. Madonna went on to win three trophies at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards. "Give Me All Your Luvin'" was released as the album's lead single and became her record-extending 38th top-ten hit on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. "Girl Gone Wild" and "Turn Up the Radio" were released internationally as its follow-up singles. All three singles have peaked at number one on ''Billboard'' Hot Dance Club Songs chart. "Masterpiece" was also released in the United Kingdom, while "Superstar" became a promotional single in Brazil. Prior to the album's release, Madonna performed at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show on February 5, 2012. The album was further promoted by The MDNA Tour, which ended as the tenth highest-grossing tour of all time. ==Background== In December 2010, Madonna posted a message on her Facebook page exclaiming: "Its official! I need to move. I need to sweat. I need to make new music! Music I can dance to. I'm on the lookout for the maddest, sickest, most badass people to collaborate with. I'm just saying ()." She reunited with producer William Orbit over a decade after their last collaboration. Madonna said: "With William, I didn't really have a discussion. We've worked on stuff for so many years that we kind of finish each other's sentences. He knows my taste and what I like." In July 2011, Martin Solveig was invited to a writing session in London. Originally Madonna had only acquired Solveig for an idea of one song which eventually turned into three: "Give Me All Your Luvin'", "I Don't Give A" and "Turn Up the Radio". In an interview with ''Billboard'' Solveig felt the stature of Madonna's regular producers would be intimidating and so he chose to avoid "thinking about the legend, and do something that just makes sense".〔 Madonna then enlisted several other producers for the project, including Alle Benassi, Benny Benassi, The Demolition Crew, Michael Malih and Indiigo.〔 She also collaborated with female singer-rappers Nicki Minaj and M.I.A..〔 Madonna wished to collaborate with "women who () have a strong sense of themselves", she found the pair were "fun to be around" and were both self-possessed people, referring to M.I.A. Madonna said "I don't think she's impressed much by stars and celebrities, so we just got down to business. I loved her."〔 On December 15, 2011, Madonna announced that the album will be released in the spring of 2012 and it will be her debut release from her 360 deal with Live Nation Entertainment which was signed in 2007. Through this contract, Madonna and Live Nation signed a three-album deal with Interscope Records, who will market and distribute the album. In the 2011 year-end readers poll by ''Billboard'', it was voted as the most anticipated album of 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MDNA (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
