Celebration: The Video Collection

Untitled

Celebration - The Video Collection is a DVD greatest videos compilation by singer Madonna. Released by Warner Bros. Records on September 29, 2009, the release will accompany the greatest hits Celebration. The collection follows on from her other greatest videos compilations The Immaculate Collection (1990) and The Video Collection 93:99 (1999).

The compilation spans from 1983's "Burning Up" to the 2009 single "Celebration" and includes the controversial videos of "Papa Don't Preach", "Like a Prayer", "Justify My Love" and "Erotica", the latter two having been banned by MTV for sexually provocative themes. It will also include the popular "Ray of Light", which was lauded with the video of the year award at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards.
