Yay, both of those are firmly in my top 5!
I'm glad 'Like a Prayer' hasn't won it, I like it of course but it's fairly mid-table for me in her singles discography. |

I know a place where you can get away | 02. Vogue 9.69 (more 11s) In second place, only just sneaking there because of more top scores, we have Vogue. Taken from Madonna's second soundtrack album I'm Breathless, the song is inspired by the 70s disco and by vogue dancers and choreographers from the Harlem "House Ball" community where the danceform originated. It is a song about escapism - finding escape on the dancefloor no matter who you are or where you're from. It's frequently highlighted as a career high for Madonna and is one of the best selling singles of the 90s. The David Fincher directed music video takes inspiration from the 20s and 30s and is often cited as one of the greatest music videos of all time. It was nominated for 9 MTV VMAs, winning three of them. A song that has captured generation after generation and still sounds as banging as it did 30 years ago, it has gone on to define a legacy of the artist that values the power of dance and music to escape life's problems. Here it has managed to amass an almighty score and has done enough to receive a silver medal! |

You're broken when your heart's not open | 01. Frozen 9.77 Although songs 2-5 were very close in averages, the #1 song is actually a comfortable way ahead. There was never any beating it apparently! Your favourite Madonna single is Frozen. Released as the lead single from Ray of Light, it showed a drastic change of sound, style and vibes from what had come previously. Madonna here sings of a cold, heartless, emotionless person who she demands be set free from their state through the power of love, as shown through a melting of the frozen heart. It is a powerful, haunting electronic ballad complete with mesmerising production and Madonna's eery humming and chants that allow the song to float mysteriously to places of complete beauty and majesty. Her first single to debut at #1 in the UK, it became a huge commercial success around the world. Critically, it has frequently been cited as a career high, a masterpiece, a cinematic moment of pure ecstasy - and there's no debate about that going on your scores here! The music video has Madonna in a desert; witch-like and ethereal, she shapeshifts into various animals and haunts the viewer through her beauty. It won a MTV VMA for the special effects. The song has continued to enthral audiences, even as recently as Madonna's latest Madame X tour. Here the song has stormed to the #1 spot and has been officially named Buzzjack's favourite Madonna single! |

The expected order then - but still, what a fantastic list that is above, who else could have songs as great at those finishing in the 40 odd region?!!!
Thank you so much Haus for running this, it's been an absolute joy to follow and I've loved the care and attention in the commentaries etc |

My favourite Madonna single won, so I am definitely happy. There were some shocks along the way but i'm happy with this represenation of 2021 Madonna listeners' preferences. It's such a killer list of songs and the averages reflect that.
The closeness of the top 5 is ridiculous. Literally a point higher here or there could have changed the top 5 massively! I wonder what the order will look like a few years in the future should we ever re-do this Also - thanks for all the comments throughout, it's been such a busy thread suggesting you all have a great passion for her singles.  Long may that continue!

I've loved this whole post, so thank you to whoever organised it.
So so happy that Like A Prayer didn't win (after the Eurovision disaster, I don't think I want to ever hear it again), and whilst some brilliant tracks should have been much higher (and some much lower), I'm happy that Vogue won. A great top 2. |

Would have preferred Vogue at No.1 (or Like a Prayer), but fully understand how Frozen took the crown.
This has been a great thread to follow. As others have said, thanks so much for hosting it. |

Just stumbled upon this and I'm so happy to see Frozen won, it's not just my favourite Madonna song, but probably in my top 20 of all time.
It's also the first Madonna song I ever remember hearing back when it was released. I hated it at the time, but at some stage it just clicked and now I love it! |
