    How could a collection of well over 30 pop classics from the past three decades receive anything but 10/10? Most artists would kill to have even half that number to include on a Greatest Hits compilation, yet Madonna would have needed to double the number of tracks on this collection to include all of her worldwide hits. Kudos to one of the most outstanding performers of all time.

    Since when does a four and a half out of five star review from All Music count as a 70? Looks like the folks at metacritic.com haven't taken basic math!

    Queen of pop! For the haters above, you can choose NOT TO BUY this GH collection if you don't like it. While you are bitching about Madonna's GH, she's having huge success with it around the world, so clearly many fans love this GH, this is a slap on you haters face!

    Aside from a few missing hits (Causing a Commotion, This Used to Be my Playground), this collection is a testament to how impressive Madonna truly is.

    Now "Celebration" is something to celebrate for. The Queen of Pop brings her first compilation since 2001, which is full of brilliant hits including "Like a Virgin", "Into The Groove", "Like a Prayer", "Ray of Light" and "Hung Up".

    A great compilation from an iconic artist. The only reason I don't give this album a perfect 10 is its exclusion of tracks such as "True Blue", "Jump" and "Give it 2 Me".

    A comprehensive collection of Madonna's best songs. In addition, there are two new tracks - "Revolver" and "Celebration". The new material is equally fantastic. "Celebration" infact was nominated for a Grammy in the category "Best Dance Recording" where she is the most nominated artist.

    As a Madgeaholic, I had hight hopes for the tracklisting, and am mostly satisfied. The mixes, however, leave a lot to be desired. While I like the Shep Pettibone mix of Express, I still would've loved to hear those horns of the album version remastered. Miles Away, 4 Minutes, Don't Tell Me, Ray of Light - all needlessly bucthered at the end!

    Great compilation album. Only purchase the 2 DISC VERSION if you are going to buy it because you get cheated if you only buy the 1 disc version. Covers pretty much all the highlights of Madonna's career so far and includes 2 new tracks "Celebration" and "Revolver feat. Lil Wayne" A must have!

    This shows off her wonderful career but there are many songs, I believe, that are missed out. The essentials are here, but Madonna has many other brilliant songs.

    J' ADORE! Many of the hardcore Madonna fans don't like 'Celebration' and 'Revolver', but I have to strongly disagree - that's Madonna! Foremost she's a dancer.

    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.

    Superfans may well die happy with this much concentrated Madge-estry: 36 tracks covering nearly every phase of her 25-year career. It all holds up surprisingly well.

    It's a dizzying, nonchronological spin through the Madonna years, years it makes you feel lucky to be living through.
