Madonna is reportedly finalising negotiations to play the most lucrative concerts of her career - receiving $24 million (£12 million) for two performances in the Middle East.The pop superstar is said to be in talks to finish her forthcoming world tour with a gig in Dubai in November (08), for which she will be paid $15 million (£7.5 million).On top of that, she has also been asked to perform at a private party, which will earn her another $5 million (£2.5 million).A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Madonna is about to break another record by playing the most lucrative concert of her whole career - or anyone's career for that matter."The negotiations for the tour to stop in Dubai in November are being finalised and she will get $15 million (£7.5 million) for the one show only".Meanwhile in other news the pop superstar is refusing to copy Radiohead by releasing her next album as a free download - even though she is one of the best-selling artists of all time.The Material Girl star admires the British rockers and their brave move to release their latest album In Rainbows as a digital download - allowing fans to choose their own price for the record.But the 49-year-old isn't ready to have the public judge how much they should pay for her music just yet.

She says, "It is a cool idea but I am not sure if it works exactly. It is like a new world out there and people have to try a lot of things and make mistakes.

"Some things will work and some things will not, but it is kind of revolutionary and we are in that strange moment - the darkness before the dawn before we really know what is next.

"I don't know if I want to put my songs out there and ask other people what it is worth, but I am definitely ready to try new things".

Hard Candy, the singer's 11th studio LP, is slated for worldwide release later this month (Apr08).
