On the Billboard Dance Club Play Charts, Madonna remains queen of the clubs with two songs from MDNA in the Top Ten including “Girls Gone Wild” which has gone to No. 4 and is the “greatest gainer” for the last three weeks. Her first dance hit from MDNA “Give Me All Your Luvin” after going to No. 1 remains in the Top Ten in the No. 8 spot.
The critical response to MDNA has been equally impressive:
“Madonna has made it through the wilderness to deliver one of the best albums of her career.” Daily News

“Still the Queen of Pop” The London Times
“Some of the finest musical moments we’ve heard from the pop legend in the last few years” MTV News
