Madonna creates Twitter frenzy by naming new album MDNA

Madonna may be over 50 but she still knows how to create a buzz with Twitter going crazy after the singer revealed the name of her new album would be MDNA.

The pop icon, 53, revealed the album title during an interview filmed for The Graham Norton Show this afternoon.  She told the TV host it would be called MDNA as she is 'currently into initials' and 'unless I change my mind'.

Fans quickly took to Twitter to debate whether the title was inspired by the drug MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, and if the singer was actually joking.

jodieharsh tweeted: 'Madonna's new album is called MDNA?!!! It's kind of lol, kind of genius, kind of an obvious drug reference. Proper club album please, love?!'

Freudenschade posted: 'If the new #Madonna album is going to be called 'MDNA' then the tour had better be called 'Crack Ciccone'.'

CocoMarieMusic said: 'MDNA is a cool album name, obviously only because it's Madonna, otherwise it'd be a random collection of letters loosely resembling a drug.'

But not everyone was impressed with stuarthoughton writing: 'MDNA is the active ingredient in Meh-cstasy.'

Richie_Simmons joked: 'MDNA trending. Must be a lot of dyslexics on MDMA.'

ErinCarrington Erin Carrington added: 'Reckon Madonna would've been better off calling her album HP RPLCMNT #MDNA.'

The first single to be released off MDNA is Gimme All Your Luvin' which will feature Nicki Minaj and MIA.
