Background
On March 18, 2009, Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg announced the plans for the release of a greatest hits package by September.[1] On July 22, 2009, Warner Bros. Records officially announced the release date as September 28, 2009 and confirmed the name of the album as Celebration through Madonna's official website, adding that a DVD containing Madonna's best music videos would also be released.[2] According to the official press statement, the DVD included unedited and never before seen footage of "Justify My Love", as well as the completed video of the single "Celebration".[2] The music videos included on the DVD were selected by Madonna and her fans through her official website Icon.[3] The cover for Celebration was created by street pop artist Mr. Brainwash who is best known for "throwing modern cultural icons into a blender and turning it up to eleven".[2] The compilation included the music videos of "Burning Up", "Into the Groove", "True Blue", "Who's That Girl", "Erotica", "Deeper and Deeper", "I Want You", "I'll Remember" and "American Pie", which were previously never included in any of Madonna's DVDs.[4] It also included the award-winning music videos – "Like a Virgin", "Papa Don't Preach", "Open Your Heart", "Like a Prayer", "Express Yourself", "Vogue", "Rain", "Take a Bow", "Frozen", "Ray of Light", "Beautiful Stranger", "Music", "Don't Tell Me" and "Hung Up".[5][6] "Justify My Love" and "Erotica" were banned by MTV for their sexually provocative themes.[7] The video is presented in 4:3 aspect ratio, with the widescreen videos windowboxed.[8]
