When is comes to music Madonna has the Midas touch. The chameleon-musician has produced pop albums to fit almost every genre, but whatever form they take, they are guaranteed to be a hit. One of the best selling artists of all time is still going strong, churning out new music and raking in more millions.The long-reigning 'Queen of Pop' turns 50 in August and shows no sign of abdicating her throne. She is about to release her highly anticipated 11th studio album and is expected to wow the world with yet another evolution of style.This will Madonna's last album Warner Bros, as last October she quit the record label and signed a new $120 million deal with Live Nation. The album - which has produced a rumour mill overflowing with possible titles, the most talked about being 'Give It To Me' - has seen the 49-year-old singer collaborate with young hip-hop and R'n'B artists including Pharrell Williams, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, Akon and Timbaland.Madonna's career has gone the distance thanks to her ability to move with the times, her style, image and music experiencing constant rebirth, and this looks set to be Madonna's urban offering.The first single from the album, '4 Minutes to Save The World' is a collaboration with both Timberlake and Timbaland.Timbland previewed part of the song at Philadelphia's Jingle Ball in December.
