We didn't do too well in the last round - achieving 12th out of 14 places - but I suspect our chances will improve dramatically with the next: Greatest Hits. This is a chance to look through Madonna's discography and pick out the most defining, most loved, most iconic of hits. The contest will take place a little further down the line, so we're in no rush to decide, but use this thread to put forward potential entries and talk about why we love them so much.

Posted by: liamk97 25th February 2017, 02:21 PM

I must also add that, because we've used it before, 'Frozen' is ineligible.

My personal Top 5 picks would probably be:

Papa Don't Preach
Like a Prayer
Vogue
Ray of Light
Hung Up

All have huge followings from both fans and non-fans alike, reaching the Top 10 in previous Madonna Single Rates and whatnot, as well as being among my personal favourites. 'Like a Prayer' would probably be the top option, given it is usually #1 on countdowns, like the aforementioned Singles Rate, and seems to be one that is liked by all people. As much as it pains me to say it, 'Hung Up' does have it's haters amongst it lovers, so could possibly be a risky choice to put forward.

I think it has to be Like A Prayer, no other option. Not my favourite of her HUGE hits but its impact and adoration is undeniable. Gets my full support.

Posted by: Qween 25th February 2017, 03:29 PM

I mean if we're being totally honest it's only going to be Like A Prayer, Vogue or Hung Up. The former two are iconic and Hung Up is very special to a lot of people on here/in this forum. I'd prefer one of the latter as Like A Prayer is quite overrated, but so long as it isn't the Immaculate mix ABOMINATION we could do a whole lot worse.

Posted by: HausofSZA 25th February 2017, 03:35 PM

Gah yeah didn't even think of Hung Up, lmao. LET'S GO WITH THAT !!!

Posted by: princess lotita 25th February 2017, 04:39 PM

hung up!!!!!

Posted by: J▲hq 25th February 2017, 06:09 PM

Like a Prayer or Hung Up for sure. Vogue is iconic / great, but it doesn't FULLY click with me in the same way.

Posted by: dandy* 25th February 2017, 07:16 PM

I'd opt for Like A Prayer over Hung Up - firstly as the former is her best track for me but, while I can see definite arguments for the latter as a choice, would Hung Up stand out as much among the things the other sections will send?

Posted by: HausofSZA 25th February 2017, 09:24 PM

It's a tricky one between Hung Up and Like A Prayer.. I think a HUGE POLL TO THE DEATH between the two will be needed and I literally could not call which way it would go

Posted by: liamk97 25th February 2017, 10:46 PM

It feels like 'Hung Up' has a lot of die hard fans and a handful of haters whereas 'Like a Prayer' is loved by all, just not as many vocal die hard fans, not in the same way as 'Hung Up' at least.

Like a prayer

Are we happy to do a poll between 'Hung Up' and 'Like a Prayer' or shall we just send 'Girl Gone Wild'?

Posted by: ★ Jay ★ 27th February 2017, 02:32 PM

Like a Prayer & Hung Up would be my top 2 choices. Bring on the poll (it'll be such a tough choice, I'm not sure at the moment which way I'd go!)

Posted by: Qween 8th March 2017, 09:25 AM

I don't love it. I appreciate that it's one of her defining moments, but it's a bit like Dancing Queen with ABBA. I just don't ENJOY it, perhaps through overplay. I mean it'll probably do better than Hung Up so good choice, but I'd obviously prefer a song I can get behind.

Posted by: Regina 8th March 2017, 01:36 PM

Posted by: liamk97 9th March 2017, 12:17 AM

Tbh I did have a debate with myself about whether to back 'Like a Prayer' or 'Hung Up'. Like you, 'Hung Up' is probably my absolute fave ever and I'd really have loved to see that go through and slay, but I couldn't deny the love from pretty much all for 'Like a Prayer', whereas I was aware 'Hung Up' had its haters. Besides, 'Like a Prayer' has grown to become one of my top favourites too - years back, I recall not being overly fond of it but I've had many a moment to it in recent times on nights out. It's such a uniting song and the final moments of the song are utterly euphoric and joyous with the clapping and whooping of the choir.

Posted by: liamk97 2nd April 2017, 10:36 PM

'Like a Prayer' came third with 538 points, behind second place of 'Bad Romance' (560 points) and winner 'Toxic' (565 points).

Thrilled to see the Madonna AF come Top 3 - those three songs all made my personal Top 3 too.
