From ‘Confessions II’ Reveal to Sabrina Carpenter Coachella Cameo, Madonna Is Back On the Dance Floor

It’s been less than a week since Madonna announced Confessions II, the sequel to her 2005 electro-pop dance classic Confessions On a Dance Floor. But so much has happened in the days since.

After she announced the album’s July 3 release date, Madonna released “I Feel So Free” — the first song from the project — on Friday and then joined Sabrina Carpenter at Coachella weekend 2 to tease their potential Confessions II collab and duet on 1989’s “Like a Prayer” and 1990’s “Like a Prayer.”

On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about all the buzz around Madonna and her new album and what we could expect next ahead of the album sequel.

Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how Ella Langley debuts atop the Billboard 200 with her first No. 1 album Dandelion, while its single “Choosin’ Texas” continues to stand tall at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Plus, how Lady Gaga and Doechii’s “Runway,” from The Devil Wears Prada 2, struts onto the charts and how Coachella headliners Justin Bieber and Carpenter make a big splash on the charts following the festival’s first weekend.
