I guess as far as rejections go, it is quite positive! Bet they were absolutely kicking themselves later nevertheless!

I feel like that’s kinda fair actually, her early material wasn’t the best

I searched YouTube for these songs and had a listen and you can definitely see where the label was coming from. None of the songs stood out as being anything more than an extra track on a 12" b-side.
But as far as rejection letters go, this showed that she had talent, she had potential and that with the right material she could go far... and she did

A great party ice breaker is asking people their fave Madonna songs... i've been doing it at work with the Senior Management and had some wonderful options

Rita praises Madonna:
“[…] We have to thank icons who first of all fought for equal rights in the world of music and in life in general. They are women who I consider a constant source of inspiration: Madonna, Cher, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez.” - Rita Ora

'Ray of Light' is included in The Guardian's list of greatest #2 peaking singles:
QUOTE 36. Madonna – Ray of Light (1998) You could have picked Holiday, Borderline, Crazy for You, Justify My Love, or, if you really must, Hanky Panky – No 2 hits all – but let’s plump for Ray of Light, the fabulous, if deeply improbable sound of Madonna turning a track by the obscure proggy folk duo Curtiss Maldoon into euphoric pop-trance. I agree that there's a fair few worthy contenders from Madonna's #2s, but 'Ray of Light' is certainly my favourite!  You can see the rest of the list here: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2022/no...-singles-ranked |

WAT All Saints with their dodgy cover blocked Ray of Light (an injustice), and S Club 7's debut single which was a big deal blocked 'Beautiful Stranger' so I can understand that (even though I think BS would've made a much better #1) 'Crazy For You' has to be her most unfortunate miss though! #2 on both releases. |

Tbh I blame the record label. All Saints were competing with the SPICY GIRLS at the time. It was a good bet that they would go in at no.1, even with weak material, and they should have known this. S Club was Simon Fuller's new band afte rmaking the Spicy Ones the biggest bans in the world. Again, a safe bet would have been to avoid their first two/ three weeks. People remember Stranger and Ray, bur no one remembers All Saints' mopy cover, oe that S Club 7 cheese |

Don't get me wrong, I much prefer 'Beautiful Stranger' but I can't see how that's remembered and 'Bring It All Back' isn't in the public consciousness.
