Data Insight

MDNA returned Madonna to dance and EDM, and she co-wrote every track with a set of dance producers including Martin Solveig, William Orbit, and Benny Benassi. The writing is shared across these collaborators, who shaped the album's electronic club sound. The lead single 'Give Me All Your Luvin'' adds guest verses from Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., but the songwriting core stays with Madonna and her producers.

MDNA, released March 26, 2012, is Madonna's twelfth studio album and her first for Interscope Records. Produced primarily by Martin Solveig and William Orbit, with additional production from Benny Benassi and others, it is a dance-driven record that also reflects on her divorce from Guy Ritchie. Madonna co-wrote all 12 tracks. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the album debuted at number one in over 40 countries and the accompanying MDNA Tour became the highest-grossing concert tour of 2012.
