On November 15, 2005, Madonna released Confessions on a Dancefloor, her tenth studio album. Inspired in the disco music from the 70s and 80s, it sampled several artists' songs, such as ABBA's Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight).

It went #1 in almost every country it charted  including the US Billboard 200, breaking the record for topping the charts in the most countries. It won the Grammy for best Electronic/Dance album in 2007.

4 singles were released to promote the album: Hung Up, Sorry, Get Together and Jump.

It was praised by the critics and it's considered one of Madonna's greatest albums, as well as one of the best of the decade of the 00s.

‘Get Together’ is such a perfect pop song. ‘Forbidden Love’ was single material. 

[Midnight]

Forbidden Love    is a fave.

Every little thing that you say or do 

I’m hung up 

I’m hung up on you 

 

Get Together is still that bop too. Aged like fine wine 

[Mr. Cavill]

My fav album of hers. She did in 2005 what artists now are doing with the whole disco vibe. 

[Peanut]

I consider this album the dance floor version of American Life.

[Stefani]

Her 2nd best album.  The Queen of Pop™ did that.

If Britney ever decides to make music again as she gets older, I hope she has a comeback as iconic as this one of Madonna’s

I love how Madge just knew ABBA underused that hook in Gimme Gimme Gimme and fixed that with Hung Up 

[Blackout2006]

Ugh, a legendary album

Songs like Hung Up and Get Together are just pure-disco pop masterpieces 

Waiting for Britney to come back with a 70s-disco album too
