\n\tThe night before Confessions II <\/em>officially became Madonna\u2019<\/a>s 10th No. 1 album<\/a> on the Billboard 200, the Queen of Pop transformed Queens\u2019 Knockdown Center into the New York City edition of Club Confessions on Saturday (July 11) night to celebrate her latest album.<\/p>\n \n\tDespite being nowhere near a subway stop (or much else, unless you\u2019re in the market for a chandelier), Knockdown Center plays host to some of the hottest dance<\/a> music tickets in town, so it\u2019s not a surprise to see big crowds outside the sizable venue. Even so, the lines for Madonna were beyond the norm, extending several blocks down the street. But for a free (yes, free) party boasting Madonna, Stuart Price (who co-produced Confessions II <\/em>and 2005\u2019s Confessions on a Dance Floor<\/em>), Honey Dijon (a frequent Madge remixer who contributed to the Confessions II: Afterhours Edition<\/em> release), Fcukers, Junior Sanchez and Sam-E, what the hell do you expect?<\/p>\n \n\tAs on Club Confession\u2019s previous London stop, entrance to the affair involved walking through a giant inflatable of a woman\u2019s lower torso, legs spread, with speakers subbing in for the NSFW anatomy. After that, you strolled through a green laser-laden forest, evocative of the \u201cGood for the Soul\u201d portion of Madonna\u2019s Confessions II<\/em> short film (directed by TORSO), both of which served up TikTok\/Instagram fodder for attendees.<\/p>\n \n\tA fantastic Fcukers set had the fashion-forward crowd (which, over the course of the night, included Kim Petras, Pabllo Vittar, Sky Ferreira, Christian Sirano, Julio Torres, Bob the Drag Queen and Plane Jane) moving, but when Stuart Price took the boards to usher in the entrance everyone was waiting for, the temperature in the room shifted. Madonna hit the stage at 1:10 a.m. (fairly early, considering the doors didn\u2019t even open until 10 p.m.) with a declaration and a challenge: \u201cNew York, I love you so much \u2013 but are you ready?!\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tFans, many of whom stood in line for an hour, responded with a roar of love and a sea of cellphones. \u201cIt\u2019s mother\u201d intoned a deep voice over a thumping beat. Between Price\u2019s deft ability to keep a crowd moving and Madonna\u2019s larger-than-life aura, school was indeed in session at Club Confessions thanks to the seasoned dance club faculty on stage \u2014 including Honey Dijon, who took the decks toward the end of Madonna\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n \n\tConfessions II <\/em>songs occupied most of the setlist, with \u201cGet Together\u201d from the O.G. Confessions<\/em> and a few choice vintage cuts (\u201cThief of Hearts\u201d from Erotica<\/em> and \u201cPhysical Attraction\u201d from her self-titled debut) making appearances. Highlights included hundreds of people singing (and feeling) the chorus of \u201cI Feel So Free\u201d; Madonna head-banging next to Honey Dijon during a \u201cLove Sensation\u201d remix; and the Queen of Pop gyrating her hips and mouthing along to the 1983 throwback \u201cPhysical Attraction.\u201d But \u201cDanceteria\u201d was the standout cut. Even though the album has been out just over a week, it seemed like everyone at Club Confessions knew the lyrics to \u201cDanceteria,\u201d right down to the pointed pauses (\u201cHe\u2019s the DJ \/ hide the cocaine\u201d) and her laundry list of early \u201880s scenesters. Beyond that, the experience of listening to the autobiographical \u201cDanceteria\u201d while dancing in front of Madonna herself was a surreal treat.<\/p>\n \n\tAfter Madonna and Price left the stage, Dijon delivered a phenomenal set that led the room through ecstatic release \u2013 sure, Madonna was the main attraction, but when she left the building, so did just enough people that you could truly dance<\/em> on the dance floor. (As opposed to body bumping \u2014 not that there\u2019s anything wrong with a little body bumpin\u2019.)<\/p>\n \n\tLess than 12 hours after Club Confessions New York City closed up, Billboard<\/em> reported<\/a> that Madonna\u2019s Confessions II <\/em>had debuted atop the Billboard 200, marking her 10th No. 1 on the chart and her biggest streaming week ever. That win also puts the Club Confessions host in an exclusive club of artists with 10 or more albums to their name \u2013 something only 11 acts,<\/a> Madonna included, can boast.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.billboard.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The night before Confessions II officially became Madonna\u2019s 10th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, the Queen of Pop transformed Queens\u2019 Knockdown Center into the New York City edition of Club Confessions on Saturday (July 11) night to celebrate her latest album.
