Interview Magazine- impact & Rebel Heart Leak

With Madonna covering the December edition of Interview Magazine she caused controversy around the globe for pictures with showed her exposing her breasts. Such controversy has resulted in Madonna landing front page headline's on numerous newspapers. Furthermore, she has been applauded for what is seen as 'Triumph for women her age' & breaking the social norms.^[1]

Additionally, in late November 2014 two of her new demo's for songs believed to be called "Rebel Heart" & "Wash All Over Me" have been leaked, or at east surfaced, on to the internet. This too has been widely reported and surely should be mentioned under the upcoming album section of the wiki page???^[2]^[3]^[4] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.206.43.247 (talk) 17:09, 2 December 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

References

None of them are even remotely worthy of inclusion. Madonna has had tons and tons of outrageous pictures as well as scandals, controversy etc. A photograph is the least significant of them and is a case of WP:RECENTISM. Same with leaks, not worthy of inclusion. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 06:08, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rude much!

The richest recording artist in the world...

Madonna has been named as The World’s Richest Recording Artist by Wealth-X. According the the site Madonna has a net worth of $800 million, $140 ahead of Paul Mcartney who is in second place.

This should be used to update her Net worth statistics & also a mention of her as The World’s Richest Recording Artist according to Wealth-x in the 2013- section?

How is Wealth-X a reliable source? Billboard is reported what they reported and not on their own. So neither can be used to validate the $800 million claim. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 06:04, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
