It's probably the best imitation of the contemporary music scene Madonna has done in her career recently. It's my favourite post-Celebration single of hers, but obviously that doesn't say a lot.

20. The Power of Good-Bye

It's like the other pea in the pod with Frozen. Her vocals here are sublime. And that string crescendo for the bridge is just incredible.


19. Papa Don't Preach

You can really strut down the street to Papa Don't Preach. The strings, bassline and beat come together so well. The hook is intoxicating. A pop masterpiece!


18. Don't Tell Me

"Please dont...Please don't...Please don't tell me to stop...Don't you...ever....Don't Ever tell me to stop". Ugh this bit where madonna is dancing surrounded by hot guys :love: This is a simple song, but the beat mixed with the country guitar is a combination I never thought I needed. I live for it.


17. Frozen

This song is equally poweful and mysterious. The message is sooo strong too.


16. Drowned World/Substitute for Love

The intro to Drowned World honestly gives me goosebumps. It is such a perfect opener for ROL. You can really here the emotion in M's voice.

15. Rain

Erotica truly is the gift that keeps on giving. Rain has skyrocketed to be perhaps my favourite Madonna ballad. From the first second, you are hooked, and the instrumental, and Madonna's vocals capture here 'rain' so perfectly. Those key changes ugh!


14. Open Your Heart

Open Your Heart is euphoria. It's so strong and joyful. The perfect song to make you feel better on a down day. <3


13. Borderline

That twinkling synth melody that plays from the first second, the beat, the bassline, Madonna's youthful vocals <3 This song was one of my favourites when mum used to play the Immaculate Collection, and it remains a golden track. It's such a good track to scream along to. There's something so...comforting in Borderline?


12. Ray of Light

I 'discovered' Ray of Light a few months ago, and quite incredibly, it unlocked a memory of the song from my childhood. I suddenly remembered this song I had no idea I'd forgotten... ROL is another completely euphoric track. The soundscape is unique and captivating.


11. Dress You Up

I have one minor criticism with this song, and that's that i feel the production takes some strength and clarity out of M's vocals in the chorus. Other than that, it is a brilliant track. That bassline is just so 80s. It's pretty near to the perfect 80s pop song.

10. Like A Prayer

Probably the biggest 'anthem' of her career. When the choir comes in singing "just like a prayer I'll take you there...it's like a dream to me". The song is such a whirlwind of emotions, and the video is incredible too. :dance:


9. Human Nature

Definitely one of the most out-there, strong and liberating songs of M's career. I bloody love the chord progression, the beat, the lyrics... I even love that the lyrics don't always rhyme <3


8. Burning Up

The rock-inspired guitar riffs, the bassline, and Madonna's strong, quick and cutting vocals are what makes Burning Up. It's such a collossal bop, and such a step up from her debut single.
