There may be a couple of more Madonna songs played on Radio 2 tonight as they are counting down the Nations Favourite Number Two Singles. I'm sure Madonna was on the list.

Holiday and Ray of Light me thinks.

Ray of Light is #36 on Radio 2's Nations Favourite #2s. Should have been higher, this is classic Madonna at her best!

How many songs were in the short list ?.
