Summary

It's been 21 years since the original 'Confessions on a Dancefloor' — and seven years since her last album of any kind — but as of last weekend, Madonna is officially back with her long-awaited sequel set, 'Confessions II.' For this Rollout Report Card, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard staffers Joe Lynch and Eric Frankenberg as we look at everything surrounding the much-anticipated release of 'Confessions II' — including the first three singles and the 'Confessions' mini-movie, as well as Madonna's surprise Coachella appearance, a number of memorable interviews and one of the albumiest pop albums in recent memory.
