Album Notes Recording information: Legacy Studios, New York City, NY. Photographers: Jean-Baptiste; Herb Ritts; Wayne Maser. CELEBRATION, Madonna's fourth major hits collection, has the Herculean task of summing up 30 years of chart-topping pop music by one of the true visionary artists of the era. The 18 songs are tilted toward her good-time dancefloor classics, both from her early days ("Holiday," "Into the Groove") and her later techno-influenced songs ("Hung Up," "Ray of Light"). It also adds a newly recorded track, "Celebration," produced with Paul Oakenfold. The only track that comes close to balladry is the mid-tempo Latin groove, "La Isla Bonita." The collection does a fine job of living up to the title--it's certainly a celebration of Madonna's career and includes some of the most celebratory and thrilling pop music ever created.
Industry Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- CELEBRATION kicks off with pure bliss and never lets up. It's a dizzying, non-chronological spin through the Madonna years, years it makes you feel lucky to be living through.
36 tracks covering nearly every phase of her 25-year career. It all holds up surprisingly well. -- Grade: B
