Madonna's Life Is Coming To The Small Screen — And Her Music Is Back On The Charts
Madonna's 'Erotica' and 'Like a Prayer' return to U.K. charts amid excitement over her new album ... More Confessions 2 and a just-announced Netflix miniseries.

(Photo by Kevin Mazur/WireImage for Live Nation) There's a lot of excitement around Madonna at the moment. In the first half of 2025, she began teasing that she is working on a new album, and there are even reports that she has played it for some people. There's no word yet on when Confessions 2 — apparently a sequel to her Grammy-winning Confessions on a Dance Floor — will arrive, but the mere mention that she is back in the studio is thrilling to many of her longtime fans. A new Netflix miniseries around her life has also recently been announced. Again, there isn't a solid timeline, and hopefully this doesn't end up like her feature film, which went through several starts and stops and may now be dead in the water as she pivots to a series. Amidst all of this excitement, fans in the United Kingdom have also recently returned to buying some of Madonna's biggest hits — the ones that turned her into the global superstar she is today — sending multiple cuts back to different tallies as they keep buying in various formats. Two of Madonna's songs appear on the charts in the U.K. at the moment. There's no overlap in terms of which rankings they appear on, and both of them only find space on one list apiece. Between the two, 'Erotica' is the top performer. That track reenters the Official Physical Singles chart at No. 75. The cut debuted on the list in 2017 and was last seen in the second-to-last position in December. 'Like a Prayer' is also a bestseller again, but only barely this frame. It breaks back onto the Official Singles Downloads chart at No. 97. The classic only debuted on that tally in May of last year and was a consistent bestseller for months. It's only been a few weeks since 'Like a Prayer' last appeared on the downloads-only list. Both 'Erotica' and 'Like a Prayer' have reached the top 10 on their respective tallies, but neither one has hit No. 1, despite ranking among her most familiar tunes. Coincidentally, the two have spent exactly 36 weeks each on the rosters where they currently reside. Of course, the tracks have been around for decades and are still relatively new to these rosters, but they enjoyed major success on the Official Singles chart — the ranking of the most-consumed songs in the nation — many years before they debuted on either of these two lists. Madonna also enjoys a similar performance on the albums rankings, as two projects appear on one list apiece. The Immaculate Collection jumps almost 50 spaces on the Official Album Downloads chart, surging from No. 93 to No. 47. At the same time, Finally Enough Love drops just four spots to No. 96 on the Official Albums Streaming tally.

Madonna Teaming Up with Shawn Levy on Biopic Series for Netflix
Yara Sameh Music icon Madonna is teaming up with Netflix and director Shawn Levy on a limited series about her life and music. The series is in early development and is unrelated to the previous Madonna feature film that was set at Universal Pictures, with Julia Garner attached to star as the singer, before being scrapped in January 2023. It's unclear which part of Madonna's life the limited series would portray or who would play the musical legend. The singer put the Universal film on pause in favor of embarking on her worldwide 'The Celebration Tour' from October 2023 to May 2024, but sources told Variety at the time of the move's hiatus that 'she remains committed to making a film about her life one day.' She co-wrote two drafts of the film's script with Oscar winner Diablo Cody and Cressida Wilson ('Secretary,' 'The Girl on the Train') about large periods of her creative life. 'Ozark' star Garner won the role after other stars like Florence Pugh, 'Euphoria' actor Alexa Demie, Odessa Young and Bebe Rexha attended singing and dancing bootcamps. Madonna's most recent album, 2019's 'Madame X,' sold more than 500,000 copies worldwide and became the ninth No. 1 album of her career. Her 'Celebration Tour' was one of the fastest-selling tours of all time, with more than 1.2 million tickets sold. Madonna made $225.4 million from 80 shows and played to an audience of 1.1 million. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War
