They only had the 3 different CD versions, 2 different vinyl records and 1 box. Also 1 regular Cassette and 1 Cassete Blue Transparent in UK (and Blue Glitter in the rest of Europe). There were many regional different version of her album then (Japan, Russia, Ukraine, Taiwan, Indonesia, etc) but those weren't selling in UK.
Lady Gaga was Queen of bundles! She released 28 different bundles in US alone from "Chromatica" plust ticket bundles as well and plus many multiple formats that it's insane as in total each fan could buy over 30 different albums (not only in US but also in UK despite not as many). She was also on Interscope so same record label.
Lady Gaga had 3 CD versions, 3 different vinyl records, 1 box, 4 different color cassettes on release week in UK. That's 3 more formats in UK compared to Madonna "Madame X". Sure she is younger and also have streams and have had 2 TOP 5 Hits from the album (including a #01 song with Ariana Grande) claiming also 3 TOP 40 singles entries the week the album was out. It sold 53k with half the sales being physical (including 8500 vinyl records from those 3 versions combined). In 2021 they released another box and another vinyl deluxe version to keep the album selling.
About Madonna new collection...
I believe that they will anounce the cassette formats and probably another special limited edition release (on CD or Vinyl or both) closer to the week of release as fans that already paid for their orders in May will already have more money to spend in June, July and August. So far we have:
2 different CD versions, 3 different vinyl versions (including the vinyl box), and no cassettes yet.
Also the Deluxe CD version with 3 CDs have a very nice price! £17.99 for a Madonna Triple CD of 50 Number Ones (even remixed) on Amazon is a catch!
Funny thing is that it only says 3CD BOX "50 Number Ones" on the cover and title and doesn't say it's a remix album anywhere on Amazon (you only know by looking at the tracklist but as there are many radio edits there on CD 1 many people will order it as a GH for sure
