Hello all and welcome to, quite simply, the biggest undertaking this forum (or perhaps any artist forum on this site) has ever done.

Over the course of the next few months, we will be conducting the Ultimate Madonna Rate. "But we've done this before!!1" you might say... not like this In the past we have held 80s singles rates, rates for all of her singles across the years but never have we rated every single song that Madonna has released.. until now!

In order to make this mammoth task feasible, we have decided to separate her huge, decade-spanning career into sections, continuing here with the 00s. Below is every song released by Madonna in the 00s. Rate them. One 11, one -1. Simple ~

We will then do the same for other eras of Madonna's career, before eventually presenting every single song as rated by you.

Great first rate - a lot of scores I agree with, and an inspired choice of 11 Mine will be too... it's an album track this time round that gets my top score!

Posted by: dandy* 14th July 2019, 08:02 PM

My next two choices would have been album tracks, hope it’s one of those!

Meh.

It was hard deciding on my 11.

Don’t Tell Me and Forbidden Love were very very close.
Forbidden Love may be my favourite ever album track what wasn’t a single.
But Hung Up just edged it

This was my hardest rate on deciding the 11. So many strong points.
The -1 was fairly hard too. The first three on American Life are among her worst ever. But the title track just edged it for me.
Unpopular opinion I feel though.

Posted by: HausofTove 15th July 2019, 09:16 PM

Thanks for rating Jordan. Forbidden Love is also my favourite Madonna album track!

Posted by: Rhoda Camel 15th July 2019, 09:27 PM

what do u MEAN there's three songs on one of my favourite albums of all-time that i've never heard?! what is SUPER POP?

a cyber raga??? jesus

Posted by: Medellíam 15th July 2019, 11:43 PM

Super Pop is a super BOP!

Posted by: Medellíam 16th July 2019, 12:23 AM

Added a Spotify playlist to the second post!

Did anyone else know that 'It's So Cool' actually comes from the American Life sessions?

Another brilliant era from her. Fond memories of my mum playing this album in the car when I was a kid! 'Paradise (Not for Me)' is probably my favourite non-'Ray Of Light' album track from her, what a stunner.

These high scores for Get Together! Used to rate as one of my least favourites from the album but it's become one of my all time favourite now. Such a well produced song and it has a fantastic climax. Definitely holds its own against Hung Up and Sorry when before I was eager for it to finish so I could hear Sorry.

Posted by: dandy* 18th July 2019, 04:33 PM

Oh Mack! Please grow to love Forbidden Love and Intervention, the comparatively low scores for them breaks my Madge shaped heart.

^ This is the first Madonna studio album I ever owned on CD! I got it as a present in Christmas 2000. Before today I probably hadn't heard the album in full since 2001 lol~ although outside of the singles I've played Impressive Instant and Runaway Lover a few times in recent years. I couldn't recall any of the other album tracks argh. This won't go down as one of my top Madonna albums, but it does have some good highs. Unashamedly American Pie is one of them x

A fantastic rate Jay and it was so fun going through them together with you. I'm glad you have loved Confessions as much as well... you should, it's an incredible listen!

Music and AL are fab albums too with so many moments on them.
