Madonna's ‘"Celebration" CD Due in September

A reliable source has informed us that Madonna is getting ready to release her third greatest hits CD, "Celebration", in September – possibly September 22nd. It will be her final release with Warner Brothers and it will contain three new songs.

The timing of the CD's release may be bad. Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey are going to be releasing CDs around the same time. Whitney Houston’s "Undefeated" is due on September 1st, one week after Mariah Carey’s "Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel."

Then again, having three divas release CDs at the same time may be good for the music industry and the economy. But if Madonna and Whitney Houston go the Mariah route and release new material that is as uncreative and boring as Mariah’s new single "Obsessed," the music industry may suffer even more.
