An anthem , her signature song (arguably).

Not in my personal top 20 , maybe because its so popular outside the fanbase.

I wanted this to be the closing song to the Celebration tour.

It is her best single for me, its one of those iconic songs and i think i enjoy it more the older it gets.
I dont ever link like a prayer and Kylies Hand on your heart together in that they were both charting at the same time as hand on your heart was 35 years old last week both great songs in such different ways.
I miss the days of having songs like these in the charts, it was a great time to be a fan of the charts.

I'd say it is her signature song all things considered! She changed the game with this one clap.gif

This! It made such an impact culturally and has a wide general appeal too. There's quite a handful of songs I prefer so it probably ranks to the lower end of my Top 10, but it is one of her best. Rousing, uplifting, uniting - a true anthem.

Of the many live performances Madonna's done for 'Like a Prayer', I think the mash-up with 'Feels Like Home' is my favourite:

It’s her best song, I’ve never even vaguely tired of it. I didn’t understand at the time but in retrospect I love the video and the calling out of racism

I wonder if the inclusion on Deadpool will have a significant impact or not. Imagine if the song gets a Running Up That Hill style boost and is discovered by a whole new generation!

I’m hoping so! It achieved its sixth highest streams yesterday across the album, The Immaculate Collection and Celebration versions (387k streams) and has seen a boost on downloads:

iTunes:
#16 Hungary
#44 Mexico
#61 United Kingdom
#71 Indonesia
#78 Australia
#84 Spain
#90 Italy
#102 Hong Kong
#130 United States
#158 Brazil
#159 Canada

Would love for this to get a proper resurgence. I know it has been making its way through the field in terms of her most streamed songs and thus adding the 'sales' but it deserves to be of multi million status

Madonna's "Like A Prayer" earned its biggest streaming day of all-time on Spotify on July 29 with over 1.07 million streams across all versions.

They really need a way of combining all versions into one so it can appear on individual charts drama.gif great numbers regardless!

Incredible numbers! Agreed that it would be good if all versions were combined, I think the Celebration version is just an edited down version of the one that appears on the Like a Prayer album; The Immaculate Collection version is at least a slightly remixed (although I think the numbers across all three could be combined if they really wanted).

In other news, the song has just been certified 2x Platinum in the US!

It was actually slightly higher than this: 1,113,476 (861,088 from 'Celebration', 216,991 from 'The Immaculate Collection' and 35,397 from the album 'Like a Prayer'). It replaces 'Popular' as Madonna's daily most streamed songs (after 423 days of 'Popular' being #1).
