Madonna is the only artist aside from The Beatles who has earned 10 No. 1 albums on the Billboard chart.<\/p>\n

“I was supposed to make a movie about my life. I worked on my script for two years and spent two years at Universal Studios with the line producers doing budgeting and casting. We had a falling out, me and Universal, regarding budget,” Madonna told Interview<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/i>magazine last month, revealing how she decided to return to the recording studio. “I’ve had an extraordinary life. I’ve had a huge life, so I needed a big budget.”<\/p>\n

As Madonna sought other ways to fulfill her creative streak, she contacted former collaborator Stuart Price<\/b>.<\/p>\n

“I thought the world is in a very dark place and people need to dance. I hadn’t worked with Stuart for a long time,” she recalled to the outlet. “We’d just done the Celebration Tour<\/i> together<\/a>, but besides that, I didn’t really see or speak to him for probably 15 years. I was living in New York and I reached out to him, thinking, “What if we tried to make Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II<\/i>, and reenter the world of inspirational dance music?” So I came to London and went to his studio, and we were just playing around to see if there was magic between us.”<\/p>\n
