After a series of commercial and critical flops, Madonna has released her long-awaited 'Confessions II' album - a continuation of the successful 'Confessions on a Dance Floor' (2005).
Fans, especially gay fans, have been yearning for a new dance album from the Queen for a long time - and now they finally have it. Fans around the world gathered to get their hands on the album and be among the first to listen to it, with many raving about it non-stop on release day.
One of the places where a special Madonna event was organised was Lyon, France. At the release celebration, fans gathered outside a vinyl store at around 10:30pm, with sales starting only at midnight.
"I live in a small city near Lyon and came here by car just to buy the CD and vinyl. I will start listening to it the minute I sit down in the car," said one eager attendee.
"My husband is already asleep, but I will listen to the album with my headphones on when I get back home tonight. It's been 10 years!" added another excited fan.
