In addition to being greeted with mixed reviews, Madonna‘s newest LP – ‘Madame X’ – has come as the first studio album of her 30+ year career to see all of its singles miss the Hot 100 entirely.  That, however, hasn’t stopped the Queen of Pop from pressing forward in its promotion.

Already beating the promo trail in Europe over the last week in its support (as we reported here), Madge is also still cranking out music videos for the set’s content – the latest to come as the accompanying clip for the Mike Dean and Mirwais-produced ‘God Control.’

A clear fan favorite from the album, the disco-tinged tune houses controversial and political lyrics but may be just what she needs to change the project’s fate.  Watch its teaser inside and let us know if you agree:

The song is the latest track to emerge from her Rap/Spoken Word-inspired feel-good discography and is supported by a music video which stars ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ player Lisa Rinna and ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ star Cynthia Bailey.

On it, the Countess celebrates her love for life and the finest things it has to offer as fans continue to applaud her for the moves she made for the ‘Real Housewives of New York’...the hit show she has led with Ramona Singer for over a decade.

Expect to see Queen of Pop Madonna pop up over headlines galore over the coming days as she hits the promo trail to commemorate the release of her 14th studio album, ‘Madame X.’  Dropping in for radio, magazine, newspaper, television, and Web interviews, the 60-year-old diva has had segments air (today alone) in multiple countries on prime television spots including ‘The Today Show,’ ‘Graham Norton Show,’ and so many more.

The set – preceded by five singles – has not exactly been greeted with the buzz of its predecessors, but that hasn’t stopped the Pop icon from raising awareness on the project which, despite the absence of commercial fanfare for its singles, has been getting great reviews from esteemed music critics.  Some of that success is being reflected digitally as a number of reports – including from Madonna’s team (click here to see) – have indicated ‘Madame X’ debuted at #1 on the iTunes tallies of a number of countries (including the United States).

Curious to see her thoughts on the early success?  Look inside for a collage of her most recent interviews where she tackles topics such as ageism, sexism, her obsession with religious imagery, responding to reports she’s in love, being a ‘soccer mom,’ and so much more.
