Not really, they are just going to pimp her album. I couldn't find a recent article but according to  billboard.biz (http://www.nypost.com/seven/07282007/business/madonna_eyes_100m_live_nation_mega_deal_business_brian_garrity.htm)
 
 "Live Nation would acquire an equity stake in the pop diva's overall business.
 
 The joint venture company would then look to enter into an agreement with a label to handle distribution and marketing support of any Madonna album releases."

I see.
 
 
 So as part of bands' light shows at a fillmore, for instance, huge hypnotic displays reading "buy the madonna album" will attack crowds from all directions.  :)
