Madonna’s GH scheduled for first quarter of 2009
In an article about new and coming music releases by the Irish Times it is being reported that Madonna‘s new greatest hit compilation from Warner Bros will reach stores on the first quarter of next year, which means January, February or March 2009.
From THIS article:
To give you some idea of how strong the marketplace will now become, consider that the Warner label was preparing a Madonna Greatest Hits collection, which would surely sell in the millions.
Madonna’s contract with Warner is now up (she’s moving to Live Nation), and it’s traditional that labels cash in on such a departure by releasing a Greatest Hits. But Warner took one look at the release schedules for the next few months and cautiously chose to put Madonna back to NYQ1 (that’s January/February/March 2009 to you).
What was Warner so scared of? New albums by Oasis, Metallica, AC/DC, Razorlight, Beyoncé, Dido, Snow Patrol, Kaiser Chiefs, Pink, Take That, Sugababes and Girls Aloud. Also huge-selling best ofs from Katie Melua and Eva Cassidy, as well as a slew of re-mastered/ repackaged/previously unreleased material works from The Clash and The Smiths.
Franz Ferdinand were also supposed to release a new album. But they, too, apparently took a look at the schedules and decided to wait for the calmer waters of NYQ1.
