Remixed & Revisited is the fifth compilation by American singer-songwriter Madonna, released on November 24, 2003 by Maverick Records. It was released to promote the album American Life. The album is considered in some countries as a single, and in others as an album. It sold an estimated 1 million copies worldwide.

[edit] Album history
Prior to its release, there were many rumors about Madonna releasing a special commemorative box set celebrating her 20th anniversary in the music business, but Remixed & Revisited was released instead[citation needed]. The EP itself contained many remixes of songs from her American Life album, as well as an unreleased song, and a recording of a live performance on MTV. Madonna herself admitted that the EP was, in a way, to give more life to the American Life album, which was received coolly by both fans and critics[citation needed].
