Fans who have been eagerly awaiting new music from their favorite icon can now break out their calendars: Madonna will be releasing her next album in spring 2012!
Although Madonna said she's done "a little bit of work" on the new album so far, she will be focusing on the project completely when she returns to New York after W.E. promotion and will record "until the end of the year."
This will be her first album since 2008's "Hard Candy," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
