On June 20 2006, Madonna’s first live album, I’m Going to Tell You a Secret, containing songs from the documentary of the same name, was released.
The two-disc set included a CD with 14 songs (including a previously unreleased Demo Rock Version of I Love New York), and a DVD with the documentary film.
The documentary provided a behind-the-scenes look at Madonna’s 2004 Re-Invention Tour. The documentary was directed by Jonas Åkerlund.
On June 18 and 19 2012, Madonna was in Florence, Italy, shooting the music video for Turn Up the Radio. The video was directed by Tom Munro. Tom had previously directed Madonna’s music video for Give It 2 Me in 2008.
The video was released on July 16, 2012.
On June 18 1994, Madonna’s I’ll Remember spent a second week at #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in the U.S. I’ll Remember spent a total of 4 weeks at the top of the chart, making it her longest running AC chart-topper to date at the time. This would be surpassed less than a year later when Take A Bow ended an incredible 9-week run at #1 on AC chart on February 18th, 1995 and remains her biggest AC hit in the U.S.
On June 17 2008, Robyn announced that she would be opening for Madonna’s European Sticky & Sweet Tour.
“Having been a fan of Madonna since I was a little girl, I’m very excited about sharing a stage with her and playing to her audiences. I’m thrilled.”
On June 16 1984, Borderline became Madonna’s first Top 10 hit when the single peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S.

On June 15 1994, Dangerous Game was released on home video. The film was directed by Abel Ferrara, and starred Madonna, Harvey Keitel and James Russo.
In 2007, Ferrara recalled,
It was just another one of our films that never came out. But on that one, the audience didn’t really like the film. Madonna killed it. The first impression people get on a movie is the one that never gets out of their mind. So after Madonna got so trashed for doing Body of Evidence, she thought she was going to beat the critics to the punch and badmouth the film. And she actually got good reviews. She never got a good review from the Voice or The New York Times in her life, but she got good reviews for this movie, which she came out and trashed. I’ll never forgive her for it.
On June 14 2006, the music video for Get Together premiered in North America and Europe.
Fully devoted to the preparation and launch of the Confessions Tour, Madonna was unavailable to shoot a video for the third single from Confessions On A Dance Floor. Warner Bros. Records and Madonna’s management instead commissioned several animation studios to combine live performance footage of Madonna’s 2005 promo show at London’s Koko with computer animated graphics. The original video that was released to music video channels (and is featured below) was directed by Logan.
Oddly, Madonna’s 2009 music video collection, Celebration, featured an alternate submission from 2006 directed by Eugene Riecansky (this second version had initially been streamed on Madonna’s official website in 2007). The original broadcast version by Logan, however, remains unavailable commercially.
