although I would have really lolled if she's done "4 Minutes":
In the United States, "4 Minutes" debuted at number sixty-eight on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the issue dated April 5, 2008, based solely on airplay.[21] Within a week, the song had jumped sixty-five places, reaching number three on the chart. This leap was spurred by first-week digital sales of 217,000, enabling the song to enter Billboard's Digital chart at number two, behind Mariah Carey's single "Touch My Body". The song became Madonna's first top-ten single since "Hung Up" (2005), and was her thirty-seventh Hot 100 top-ten hit, breaking the record previously held by Elvis Presley.[22] "4 Minutes" was also her highest-charting single on the Hot 100 since "Music" reached the top of the chart in 2000. For Timberlake, "4 Minutes" became his ninth top-ten hit.[23] On the Pop 100 chart, the song reached a peak of two.[24] "4 Minutes" was a success on Billboard's dance charts, topping both the Hot Dance Club Play and the Hot Dance Airplay charts.[25][26] Four months after its release, "4 Minutes" was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of two million paid digital downloads. It is her second single to achieve multi-platinum certification, after "Vogue" (1990), and it is one of her best-selling songs in the United States.[27] As of September 2010, it had sold 2.8 million digital downloads in the United States.[28] "4 Minutes" was the tenth most downloaded song in the United States in 2008, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[29] In Canada, Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) confirmed that "4 Minutes" debuted at the top of the Canadian Contemporary Hit Radio chart. This marked the first time any song entered at the top of the CHR chart in BDS history.[30] The song debuted at number twenty-seven on the Canadian Hot 100 on March 27, 2008,[31] and topped the chart the next week.[32] The song spent nine non-consecutive weeks at the top of the chart.[33]

i know it was successful, i'm saying "Music" was more successful, especially in the U.S.

well thank god she didn't play "4 minutes"
― J0rdan S., Monday, 6 February 2012 16:17 (twelve years ago) link
if a superstar with a deep catalog is playing a high profile event for like 15 minutes, you can bet 'the biggest song from two or three albums ago' is not on the agenda

People complaining about the medley aspect obviously haven't watched a Super Bowl halftime show in the past decade.
I thought she looked pretty good and was having fun.

But my favorite Madonna moment of the weekend was the Guy Fieri sketch on SNL when his Madonna tribue dish was a "weird bucket of mussels".

After finally watching the superbowl thing, felt like the new song had the most energy by far, which is nice. The Give Me All Your Luvin' video is kind of disjointed, which put me off at first, but it's a good song.
Weird how between Parkour and Slacklining and Gymnastics and so on, Madonna is like a one-woman physical fitness ad for people who'll probably never progress past M's Tracy Anderson phase.

"Hung Up" was massive everywhere in the world except the US, where it peaked in the top ten but tumbled quickly
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 6 February 2012 20:01 (twelve years ago) link
That's because the rest of the world loves ABBA a million times more than the US ever did. Though if the song sampled "Dancing Queen" it'd be a different story.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 6 February 2012 20:05 (twelve years ago) link
There's truth to that. Timing didn't help: if she'd released "Hung Up" after Mamma Mia it might have worked -- or asked Meryl Streep to sing it.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 6 February 2012 20:06 (twelve years ago) link
It's also because US radio wasn't playing dance music in 2005.

If it's a triple pun, it may be the first triple pun in pop music since "12 Inches of Snow."
"12 Inches of Snow" is a quadruple pun, actually. It can refer to:1) A vinyl record.2) The canadian weather.3) A cocaine line.4) The artist's penis.

Madonna broke her silence Friday morning on the uproar that followed her Super Bowl XLVI halftime show, which was upstaged when fellow performer M.I.A. appeared to curse and gave the middle finger to the more than 110 million viewers watching.
Madonna said that she only learned of the antics after the fact -- and was none too pleased.
"I was really surprised," she told Ryan Seacrest during a call-in interview to "On Air With Ryan Seacrest." "I didn't know anything about it. I wasn't happy about it. I understand it's punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy and positivity, it seemed negative."
She added: "It's such a teenager irrelevant thing to do there was such a feeling of love and unity there, what was the point? It was just out of place."
