Not really, they are just going to pimp her album. I couldn't find a recent article but according to billboard.biz

"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. :)
