Sticky &amp; Sweet Tour
On January 12, 2010 Madonna's official website confirmed the video release of the tour. Titled "Sticky & Sweet Tour", the live album was released by Live Nation on March 30, 2010 and distributed by Madonna's former record company, Warner Bros. It was available on DVD, Blu-ray and CD, accompanied by a picture book by Madonna's manager Guy Oseary, titled "Madonna: Sticky & Sweet". Madonna commented that she had not been able to focus on the release of the DVD as she was involved with the development of her directorial venture, titled "W.E." Upon its release, "Sticky & Sweet Tour" received mixed reviews from critics, who panned it for being lifeless, but also praised the album for the performances, with "Into the Groove" being listed as a highlight of the tour. It became Madonna's 19th top-ten album on the "Billboard" 200, while reached the top of the charts in Greece, Hungary, Mexico and Portugal. The album also reached the top-ten in the charts of Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Japan, Sweden and Switzerland, but had failed to reach the top-ten in Germany and the United Kingdom.
