BBC Radio 2 Madonna Vote

Vote for up to 5!


Forty years on from Madonna’s debut UK Top 10 hit, Radio 2 is celebrating the Queen of Pop’s amazing career in music by asking you to vote for Your Ultimate Madonna Song.

February 1984 saw Madonna’s Holiday peak at No.6, her first ever appearance in the UK Official Singles Chart. According to the Official Charts Co. she’s since had over 60 Top 10 Hits, including 13 No.1s. Without doubt, one of the most successful artists in the history of music, she’s spent more than ten years (in accumulated weeks) in the UK Top 40.

From Like A Virgin in December 1984 to Secret in August 1994, Madonna logged a run of 36 consecutive Top 10 hits – no artist has bettered that since. Take a Bow broke the run in December 1994. She had another run of 17 consecutive Top 10s from You Must Love Me in Feb 1996 until Me Against The Music in November 2003.

But which songs are your favourites? Take a look at our shortlist below and have your say!
Our shortlist contains all Madonna's UK Top 10 hits. The tracks on double a-side The Power of Good-bye and Little Star are listed separately. You have up to five votes that you can spread among different songs or use on one song.

Listen to Scott Mills count down Your Ultimate Madonna Songs, from Boxing Day on BBC Sounds, and on New Year's Day on BBC Radio 2. At the same time you'll be able to hear more Radio 2 Madonna specials on BBC Sounds.

Voting Closes at 16:00 on 08 December 2023. Online votes are limited to 5 per registered user in total. Votes cast on different devices will count towards this limit.

Very surprised that Hung Up, La Isla Bonita and Frozen was not top 10!!

I was surprised at how well Dear Jessie did considering it does not feature on an greatest hit compilation!

Cherish also performed very well!

Hanky Panky making the list was a surprise especially as Lucky Star, Give It To Me, and others didnt.
Nothing from Bedtime Stories or American Life made the cut and only two songs from Confessions!

Songs that didn't make the list

1. Lucky Star
2. Angel
3. Gambler
4. Causing A Commotion
6. The Look Of Love
7. Bad Girl
8. Fever
9. Secret
10. Take A Bow
11. Human Nature
12. Bedtime Story
13. One More Chance
14. You Must Love Me
15. Another Suitcase In Another Hall
16. American Life
17. Hollywood
18. Love Profusion
19. Get Together
20. Jump
21. Give it 2 Me
22. Miles Away
23. Celebration
24. Give Me All Ur Luvin
25. Living For Love
26. Popular

Get Together not being in the list is a travesty! It should've been top 10 based on quality or at least included if the likes of Hanky Panky feature dry.gif

I'd have put jump and celebration in there myself at the expense of Hanky panky and American pie which are both career low points let's be honest (pre 2010) for sure

I think Borderline being 6th was the biggest shock for me - I mean I absolutely love it personally but I didn’t think it was a huge fave of the general public.
