:cheer: love the song but i prefer La Isla Bonita
The Best song by a country mile won. It is a classic pop song without question. Live a Virgin deserved to be the runner up though IMO -_-

Great winner. Great runner-up.

 

I'd have liked 'Open Your Heart' to do better but you can't have everything.

yay!!!

 

"Like a Prayer" is a song by Madonna, and was the first single to be released from her album of the same name. A power pop/rock song written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, it notably featured a gospel choir, arranged by Andrae Crouch.

 

The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1989, and spent three weeks at #1 in the UK. It also won the MTV Video Music Award - Viewer's Choice and in her acceptance speech, Madonna thanked Pepsi 'for creating controversy' (see below). The song was ranked #300 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list.

 

Madonna has performed this song in two of her worldwide tours : the Blond Ambition Tour of 1990, and The Re-Invention Tour of 2004. Most recently, she performed this song in front of a wideworld audience at the Live 8 concert, backed by the London Community Gospel Choir.

 

The single version of "Like A Prayer" (7" remix) is slightly different from the album version in some extra background production, including adding electric guitar at the song's climax. In addition, the album version features bass guitar played by Randy Jackson, while the 7" version uses a bass synthesizer.

 

"Like A Prayer" was also remixed as a dance song by Shep Pettibone for Madonna's 1990 compilation album The Immaculate Collection. The remix became almost as popular as the original album version, but is often not as highly regarded by critics and fans.

 

Several of the versions of "Like A Prayer", excluding that on the album, were included on Remixed Prayers.

 

The song has been covered and remixed by various artists worldwide, such as Blue, H2O, Mad'House and John Wesley Harding. “Like A Prayer†was also covered by pop-punk band Rufio for the compilation Punk Goes Pop. The Mad'House version reached #1 in Germany in 2002, which the original narrowly failed to manage. Singer Tori Amos has also covered the song several times in concert.

Thanks for this Tim! :thumbup:

 

Nice Top 10, although I'd have had Holiday a bit higher.
