Madonna enters her latest ‘Popular’ era with The Weeknd & absolutely everyone is eating it all up
Madonna has been ruling pop music since 1983 and her reign is showing no signs of slowing down.As she readies to launch her Celebration Tour, which will highlight her storied 40-year career of hits, the Queen of Pop can now add one more to her legendary list of bangers.On Friday, The Weeknd released his new single “Popular” with the one and only Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone and it’s already being unanimously heralded as a bonafide summer bop.Listen to the The Weeknd and Madonna making beautiful music together:The 2003 album was one of Madonna’s most contentious releases.The upbeat track also features rapper Playboi Carti and is from the soundtrack to The Idol, the HBO series starring The Weeknd, Lily-Rose Depp and Troye Sivan.In addition to collaborating on the chorus, Madonna puts the haters to bed and lets her vocal powers speak for themselves as she triumphantly sings the verse: “I know that you see me (Oh), time’s gone by/ Spent my whole life runnin’ from your flashin’ lights/Try to own it (Uh), but I’m alright (Yeah)/You can’t take my soul without a f*ckin’ fight.”Sing Mother, sanggggggg!Despite continuing to put out hit albums and jams that have topped the dance charts, Madonna has not had a top 10 hit on the Billboard 100 since “Gimme All Your Luvin'” in 2012. That could all soon change as “Popular” has already entered the top 10 on iTunes..@theweeknd, @madonna and @playboicarti's "Popular" has entered the top 10 on US iTunes.
