based on a combination of the artists
fan favorites and their most
commercially successful songs number 10
into the groove
recorded for the singers first major
film role after becoming a music star
into the groove yet again proved the
singer’s ability to craft songs that
make you want to get off your seat and
dance
this should come as a surprise to nobody
as she has professed numerous times that
had she not become a singer she wanted
to be a dancer
everything about this groove is a great
time and it fit perfectly into the film
desperately seeking Susan
number nine hung up
after her previous album offended many
with its portrayal of American life and
culture this dance-pop number served as
something of a comeback for the
legendary performer
with an undeniably catchy beat sampled
from Abbas disco flavored gimmi gimmi
gimmi a man after midnight hung up
showed that the Queen of Pop was back
and ready to dance our socks off its
critical acclaim and the fact that it
topped multiple charts worldwide only
proved that fact further
number eight Material Girl
despite the simplicity of its lyrics
this single may just be the most
complicated one of an extremely long
career
lyrically focused on a girl who’s only
interested in what she can gain from any
potential suitor the video that
accompanied material girl by contrast
featured a protagonist who shuns
extravagant gifts in favour of a simple
date
the synth-heavy arrangement and
irresistible beat make for an instant
hit that had people humming it not only
four days later but years later as
demonstrated by the fact that it’s on
our list kneading waiting number seven
justify my love one of the most
talked-about songs in a career that
often times courted controversy justify
my love was pretty much five minutes of
pure sex
it’s minimalist trip-hop infused beat
garnered acclaim among critics and
served as the background for breathless
whispering and speaking of sparse yet
repetitive lyrics Nestle
that’s right the Billboard Hot 100 chart
topper was accompanied by a music video
that didn’t pull any punches either a
little bit bang with the sexual nature
of its visuals eventually leading MTV to
ban it outright with you just to just
number six express yourself
you know you
this female empowerment anthem set to a
dance rhythm marked a turning point in
the career of the former Material Girl
with lyrics that speak about the
short-term effects of material game and
the need for people to instead seek
emotional truth express yourself
attempted to tell a generation of young
people to wait for the one that truly
deserves you
and that it’s better to be alone then to
disrespect yourself
reaching number two on the Hot 100
it’s also gone on to influence multiple
artists
number five Papa don’t preach
like many of Madonna’s best songs Papa
don’t preach focuses on the importance
of being true to yourself and not
allowing others to tell you who you are
or what you’re gonna do with your life
for many years fans and critics alike
assumed that its storyline of a teen
pregnancy was based on the life of the
singer
however the song was written by a man
and given to her to put her own spin on
you do
a simple relatable story and melodic
beat combined to make this true blue
tune another chart-topper and
unforgettable Madonna single
number four holiday without the
attention and success accompanying
Madonna’s first smash hit the musicians
story career may never have come to pass
a simple but upbeat tune that epitomizes
the term earworm holiday has remained
one of the stars best known songs to
this day and is a live staple
yeah
featuring cowbell since and electronic
handclaps the track really makes you
feel like you’re on vacation and that is
something everyone no matter their
position in the world can’t help but
enjoy
number three like a virgin
the controversy this song and its music
video attracted ultimately turned
Madonna into a superstar and cemented
her place in pop culture
the imagery of the songstress in a
wedding dress while singing about her
first time was too much for many
watchdog groups to handle and they
fought heavily against it but this did
little to stop like a virgin from
earning rave reviews a number one
placement on the hot 100 and the
admiration of a generation
Madonna famously performed the dance pop
number at the 1984 MTV Video Music
Awards while driving in a wedding dress
and pumping the stage
number two whoa ultimately a pop song
vogue and its music video introduced
mainstream America to a new dance style
that had been popular in the underground
gay scene
while house music was a heavy influence
on this monster hit sound the track also
made it okay again to listen to and like
disco music pedagogue and Dietrich and
DiMaggio Marlon Brando Jimmy Dean on the
cover of a magazine
topping the charts around the world the
almost five minute single has made a
huge musical impact
but it’s also unforgettable and just
makes us wanna dance
you
Oh before we reveal our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions
she needs to start
remember number one like a prayer this
is the Madonna song to have garnered
what’s arguably the most controversy and
conversation in her entire discography
it’s makin angels between the religious
imagery used as sexual innuendo
gospel inspired hints and a music video
featuring burning crosses like a prayer
had people up in arms almost immediately
you will hear with me
regardless there’s no denying how great
a song the pop rock number truly is
critically-acclaimed lyrically evocative
and musically complex it became 4/7 hot
