12. "MDNA" Released March 23, 2012, Billboard Magazine peak #1 Key Tracks: Girl Gone Wild, Turn up the Radio, Gang Bang, Masterpiece, I’m Addicted MDNA.jpg Madonna’s 12th and most recent album was last year’s “MDNA,” and after a year to absorb the album it lands at the bottom. Not to say that it’s terrible – far from it. Madonna hasn’t released a truly bad album in her career. And there are some killer high points – “I’m Addicted” in particular, and should-have-been first single “Girl Gone Wild.” She unfortunately chose to lead off the project with one of the weaker tracks, the vapid sing-along “Give Me All Your Luvin’”. There is some decent material here, but you can’t help feeling that Madonna is following trends on this album rather than staking out an original path. The top songs, when you compare with the best work from her earlier albums, just aren’t up to par. A good album but not a particularly inspired effort, and when you are talking about one of the most important catalogs of pop music in the genre’s history, “good but not great” results in a slot at the bottom.
