The Queen of Pop, Madonna, has just released her highly anticipated demo version of her single, "Love Won't Wait (Original Demo Version)." 
In an impressive showcase of her enduring popularity, the single has already climbed the iTunes charts in over 19 countries. It has reached number one in ten key markets including the UK, Brazil, and France, while also securing the fifth spot in both the USA and Canada, and sixth in Australia. Other notable chart placements include Austria (24), Belgium (2), Germany (4), Greece (2), Ireland (1), Italy (1), the Netherlands (2), New Zealand (23), Norway (2), Poland (14), Spain (2), Sweden (10), and Switzerland (16).  

This single is part of a new creative endeavor titled "Bedtime Stories – The Untold Chapter," which is an eight-track EP that pays tribute to the 30th anniversary of Madonna’s seminal 1994 album, "Bedtime Stories." Scheduled for release on November 28th, this companion collection includes a treasure trove of content: early demos, alternate versions, and rare tracks that trace the evolution of the album's rich, R&B-influenced sound. 

Fans can purchase "Bedtime Stories – The Untold Chapter" on limited black vinyl and digitally. Customers ordering vinyl from Madonna.com and Rhino.com will receive an exclusive set of postcards featuring artwork from this era. Additionally, a deluxe 2CD edition will be available, which will include the original "Bedtime Stories" album alongside the new EP, complete with a beautifully designed 20-page booklet containing lyrics and illustrations.  Madonna has teamed up with renowned producer Stuart Price, known for his work on "Confessions on a Dance Floor," to create this EP. 

Together, they have meticulously edited and mixed previously unreleased versions of her works to form a cohesive collection that serves as a fresh chapter in her illustrious career. The EP's artwork showcases never-before-seen photographs taken during a 1994 photoshoot by the acclaimed photographer Paolo Roversi, whose iconic images were also used for the "Bedtime Story" single cover.  

On the same day, November 28, the original "Bedtime Stories" album will be reissued on luxurious silver vinyl, making it available at select retailers. For exclusive orders placed on Madonna.com and Rhino.com, fans will receive a special poster as part of their purchase. Originally released in 1994, this album is widely regarded as one of Madonna’s most innovative and commercially successful projects, having sold over seven million copies worldwide and featuring classic hits like “Take a Bow,” “Secret,” and “Human Nature.” This reissue offers both longtime fans and new listeners a chance to revisit or discover the magic of Madonna's artistic evolution during this pivotal period of her career
