TV Ratings: Denton’s ‘Interview’ heads to London for Madonna

Andrew Denton’s Interview featured pop icon Madonna in a high-rating episode on Tuesday night.

While the episode fell short of Denton’s chat with Jimmy Barnes two weeks ago (458,000), the interview, recorded in London before the release of her new album Madame X, still took in 407,000 metro viewers.

Madonna spoke about the invigorating living room sessions in Lisbon that inspired much of her new album, as well as why she refuses to limit herself 30 years into her career.

Madame X is going head-to-head with Bruce Springsteen’s Western Stars for a #1 debut on this week’s ARIA Albums Chart.
