The Neptunes collaborated with Madonna on 'Hard Candy'. Martin Solveig is responsible for the album's first single 'Give Me All Your Luvin'' and some other songs. Many of these songs are included in the Deluxe second disc. Klas Åhlund co-produced 'Some Girls'.
William Orbit is responsible for some of the songs in 'MDNA', mostly from the last half of the first disc of both the Standard and Deluxe editions. He is also known for working with Madonna on 'Ray Of Light' (1998).

As odd as it might seem, Mika did work on this song and was actually really proud of it. Justin Timberlake wrote some songs for 'Hard Candy', but not 'MDNA'. Nicki Minaj wrote her own collaborations in 'Give Me All Your Luvin'' and 'I Don't Give A'. Stefani Germanotta, AKA Lady GaGa, has never worked with Madonna for an album.

Answer: Interscope and Live Nation

'MDNA' is a product of the contract Madonna signed with Interscope and Live Nation after the one with Warner ended. The last originals album Madonna edited with Warner was 'Hard Candy'.

Answer: Gold

Over 35,000 copies were sold in Australia, and over 100,000 copies in Germany in the album's first week of sales. In the USA, it sold 359,000 units, debuting at number one in the Billboard 200 Albums chart. Madonna broke a record in the UK by having the album reaching number one (position in which it debuted), being the first artist to have 12 albums reach that position.
