Despite a mixed critical reception for Madonna's new single 'American Life', early indications are that the new album will be another hit project because said single has entered the charts before even being released! So many fans bought 'American Life' on import that the single sold enough units to get to 57 in the singles chart the week before it was actually released in the UK. And Madonna's label will be hoping those fans might just buy a second copy of the single this week because the UK release has a number of remixes from the likes of Missy Elliott and Timbaland, Paul Oakenfold, Felix Da Housecat and Peter Rauhofer. As for those thinking of downloading the new album, rumour has it Madonna's label has put 'spoiler' copies of the album online which, once downloaded, feature Madonna saying "What the fuck do you think you are doing?" on every track.
