ITG is rightly ranked as her top song. It was a game changer in the post-disco era and pretty much ended the domination of soft rock, allowing the dance-pop genre to thrive until grunge and hip-hop took over in the 90s.
I do think LTT is her most accomplished ballad. I like how spree said that LTT was a musical transition to a mature era. I think other major transitions were: JML to the hip-hop era YMLM to the show tune era Frozen to the electronic era 4M to the ongoing CHR-influenced era

THINK PIECES Anders Christian Madsen 25 August, 2015live fast, die old: is ageism pop culture's final frontier?The newest revolution could be older than you think."Old is the new young." It's been a favoured headline around the fashion media-scape this year, and like most trend declarations something of an empty promise. It's not that the pro-ageing efforts of the fashion houses of the world haven't been commendable: Joan Didion (80) for Céline, Joni Mitchell (71) for Saint Laurent, Sicilian grandmothers for Dolce & Gabbana, Iris Apfel (94) for Kate Spade, Cher (69) for Marc Jacobs, Donatella Versace (60) for Givenchy, and Madonna (57) for Versace. But despite the industry's zeitgeist alerts, outside of fashion this new age of old age seems to remain a mirage. In that real world, female-oriented ageism is alive and well, discreetly practised and rarely discussed. Russell Crowe wasn't entirely wrong when, earlier this year, he said that actresses over 40, who complain they can't get roles, still want to "play the ingénue, and can't understand why she's not being cast as the 21-year-old." What he doesn't understand is that few good parts are being written for women over 40. Similarly - excluding this year's campaigns - it's hard to find women of a certain age in most fashion magazines, and when they're featured in the tabloid media it always seems to be about 'looking good for their age'. It's a youth-centric culture that teaches young people to fear age, disdain it, and worse, ridicule it. Indeed, we seem to be most comfortable with women over 50 when they're in one of those campaigns, styled in the context of a cool fashion brand like some theatrical character. And while the natural eccentricity that often comes with age should be hailed like that, the tribute appears to stop there. Once older women go out there on their own terms, they risk crossing society's elusive borderlines of what's considered 'age-appropriate'. Cases in point: the skimpy dressers of pop culture including Madonna, Mariah Carey, Sharon Stone, Kris Jenner, and Ivana Trump. 'Age appropriate' is a hate term of mine. Why? Because it belittles women older and wiser than the people who use it, as if they were teenage girls in sexually inappropriate hemlines and too much make-up. If I were a woman, I would hate to make it to 50 only to be told I couldn't wear whatever I felt good in. "Sexiness is about attitude and being able to be yourself without judgment from other people," Luella Bartley (41) of Hillier Bartley tells me. "As you get older you start to understand yourself and your body and what makes you feel sexy. It's just a shame that it's also the age when you get slapped down and told that ageing is ugly and lazy." This year, Bartley founded the label Hillier Bartley alongside Katie Hillier (40), with the desire to create clothes for their own age group, i.e. clothes that women over forty want to wear rather than what anyone thinks they should be wearing. "You should be able to wear anything at any age. It's not so much putting rules on it, it's that you change," Bartley says. Society's criticism of middle-aged women in the spotlight isn't just aimed at appearances, but an overriding view of how they're meant to be behaving. A few months ago, I asked Marilyn Manson who he thought was relevant right now. "I'm kind of interested in this Madonna record," he said, referring to her then-upcoming album, Rebel Heart. "I'd say that's one record I'm looking forward to hearing when it comes to relevance. She looks hotter than ever. I still have a crush on Madonna and I would definitely fornicate with her." You could say it was one music industry 'elder' empathising with another, but knowing the astute mind of Manson - 46 and promoting his first critically acclaimed album in years - the loaded social importance of his statement went way beyond its sexual candy coating. It struck a nerve with me, not least in the sad spring that followed where Madonna would be ridiculed by the media as a 50-something dinosaur, who falls off stages (Brit Awards), forces young singers to snog her (Drake), and - God forbid - dresses all sexy like she's in her twenties (always). Weeks after my conversation with Manson, Madonna put his quote on social media. She'd had some intense months, branding Radio 1 "ageist" after they refused to add her new single to their playlists. "The tracks are chosen on musical merit and their relevance to our young audience on a case-by-case basis," the station said in a statement, adding that they were still playing artists such as Sir Paul McCartney (73 - and male), who had of course just released a single with Rihanna (27) and Kanye West (38). "We've made so many advances in other areas - civil rights, gay rights - but ageism is still an area that's taboo," Madonna commented. "No one seems to want her to succeed," her producer Diplo (36) would later argue. "Her song Ghosttown was a guaranteed number one for anybody else, but she didn't get a fair shot. It already sucks to be a woman in the music industry, but to be a boss woman is even harder." "Strong women are always perceived as being bitches or egomaniacs," Christopher Kane (32), one of fashion's most pro-age designers, tells me. "If it was me, it would be like, 'Oh he's so strong and powerful. He's a great guy.' And when is that going to stop? You get better with age. You do. Old women can wear mini skirts. The world is not going to fall apart." I can't help but wonder why pop culture's all-important stamp of relevance is exclusively given to young entertainers with no significant cultural or social achievements behind them, when Madonna, who revolutionised gender roles in popular culture, fronted post-70s feminism, and challenged the taboo of sex in the public forum, is being dismissed as 'try-hard' and 'desperate to be young'? (I won't give page time to the actual headlines, but it only takes a brief look at the internet to find them.) I debated Madonna endlessly with people this year, and the general public opinion shocked me. It echoed the words of comedienne Cecily Strong, who, in her roast of him during the Correspondents' Dinner in April, jokingly told President Obama: "You're a lot like Madonna. You've both given this country so much, but in, like, a year and a half, you gotta stop." It was funny, but the sentiment was kind of dark. It's the popular notion that people's old age somehow pollutes their legacy, and that your age prohibits you from doing - or wearing or saying - certain things. Why wouldn't we want great musical talent to keep producing and performing for as long as they're alive, the way we expect- for instance- designers to? For Madonna, the answer sadly lies in the gender discrimination she's spent her career battling. When she appears in a Versace campaign, she's promoting Versace. When she appears on a red carpet, dressed in one of those daring outfits she's always worn, she's promoting herself. And that, apparently, makes her 'desperate'. "You should always dress or behave in a way, which is appropriate to your personal lifestyle," Sir Paul Smith (69) says when I ask him about Madonna. "I hate the idea of dressing 'young' because you think it makes you feel better, but it's basically her own personal ways of marketing. If Louise Bourgeois were naked you probably wouldn't say anything because she's an artist, whereas Madonna has always been so self-promotional you think it's inappropriate," he argues. "But if you look at Iggy Pop, he's still got a bare torso. So much of it is subjective." Transfer that theory to one of pop culture's most vilified women, Kris Jenner (59) and it rings even truer. While the Kardashian matriarch is also criticised for dressing too young, the ageism targeted at her seems to primarily concern itself with her youthful outlook: her frivolous conversations with her children, her young friends, and her so-called 'toy boy', Corey Gamble (34). "It's not about being old, it's about the spirit," her friend, Balmain's Olivier Rousteing (29) tells me. "Kris, you can talk to her about pop culture, young people, old singers. She's really open-minded, she's always keeping her eyes on the new world, and she's not a follower. She knows who's going to be cool and who's not, and that's a matter of age, but she keeps young because she's surrounded by young people." When, in an episode of her TV show, Kim Kardashian told Jenner she was too old to join a pole dancing class, Jenner retorted, "What am I supposed to do, sit at home and knit?" For those who think women such as Jenner and Madonna should be acting more 'their age', it's a good question, really. Should Madonna shelve her raunchy dance tracks and take to sitting on a bar stool singing ballad medleys, fur-clad and bejewelled like some millennial Marlene Dietrich? She already did that, 25 years ago. In a post-feminist world closer to equality than ever, classic views and expectations of age are no longer realistic. Unless you're a teenager, there is no such thing as acting or dressing your age, because society - much in the example of Kris Jenner - now gives us the privilege of spiritual agelessness. Youth, in other words, is no longer reserved for the young. Perhaps this is the reason society - still hopelessly obsessed with youth - gets down on those past 50, who refuse to swap their mini-skirts for a stretchy mum jean, like some valiant age rights group giving youth back the young. But isn't there enough youthfulness to go around? Surely, if the 20-somethings - so eager to be taken seriously - could borrow some wisdom from the 50-somethings, they'd jump at the chance? Instead of writing off people like Madonna as desperate to be relevant, we should rejoice in the fact that her youthful disposition will keep her around for longer so she can keep inspiring generations to come. In ancient times, if you wanted to learn something new, you went to the oldest person in the tribe - not the youngest. And perhaps that notion is part of the same fashion industry waves that put those 50-plus women in campaigns this year. With social media exposing every inch of newness to the world on a daily basis, fashion - historically dependant on youth culture and underground scenes - could be struggling to actually identify emerging subcultures - if indeed they even exist anymore. And while we're all desperately stalking the 20-year-olds, trying to uncover some elusive trend, the real newness is being created slowly and confidently by those over 40, who've been there and done that, and are liberated from the crowd-pleasing trend sheep mentality that social media in many cases instils in young people today. Maybe people over 40 are the rebels of the 2010s: a counter-culture of a new world? According to Charlie Le Mindu (28), multi-artist and hairdresser-gone-couturier, that's already the case. "On old ladies, fashion is important," he says, referring to the real senior segment, much older than 50. "You know when you go to Knightsbridge and you see those old ladies? They don't give a shit. They just wear everything, and they look like freaks again. They're a big inspiration to me. A young woman wearing the new cool stuff is not going to inspire me, because they all look the same." The introduction of older women in fashion campaigns this year is a huge step towards to a less ageist social spirit, but it doesn't cancel out the need for a revolution. Celebrating middle-aged women in the spotlight shouldn't be a passing trend like they're some kind of showpiece pool sandal, 'so wrong it's right'. They should be celebrated alongside the young generation for whom they paved the way, forever relevant not just because of their icon status but because their talent, in tune with their minds, evolves into new levels of expression equally as relevant to pop culture as what they did in their youth. "Young rebellion is full of angst and energy, and older rebellion is a real kind of personal don't-give-a-shit-about-what's-going-on," Luella Bartley says. "You become so comfortable in your skin that you just do what you want. Younger rebellion just feels so much more self-conscious. Older rebellion feels more real." At 57, Madonna's current age revolution might just be her greatest gift to future generations of women. And in the words of Marilyn Manson, she'll look hotter than ever doing it. i-d.vice.com/en_gb/article/live-fast-die-old-ageism-and-pop-cultures-final-frontierVery amazing article.

^Naturally, Madonna is the one whose image is used. Thanks for posting here. A note: Carole King's album has the most cumulative (pre-catalog-chart weeks on the Billboard 200 and also catalog top 50 (thanks to 302 pre-catalog-chart weeks), but The Immaculate Collection does have more weeks in the catalog top 50 ( Tapestry has logged 247 weeks as of this past June). (The Billboard archives are weird for the catalog chart, because, for a time, recall that the number of weeks that showed on the catalog top 50 was a combination of weeks on that chart, as well as the Billboard 200. But, you can count the number of weeks on the archive search results page to get the actual count, for those that show combined weeks)

Do you think there's any truth to these reality show rumors? I can't see a Truth or Dare Pt.3 but a reality show seems so beneath her. Unless it's a limited series like Nicki did. 3-4 episodes.

I could see it being a one-off special if something were to happen. She's too much of a control freak now for it to represent the actual reality. Reality shows are so staged now so that there is no "actual reality", but I could see the show being so prim and proper that not a single hair is out of place. It would just not be accurate. Life is incredibly messy and imperfect.

Ariana Grande has moved past Donutgate and into the Philippines. She performed in Manila this weekend and, by most accounts, thrilled fans. Philstar Entertainment reports on Grande’s performance. “Ariana packed her 17-song concert with the usual hits, as well as a few surprises. She opened big with ‘Bang Bang.’ Early in the show, she paid tribute to Whitney Houston and Madonna by performing a medley of their songs.” Ariana Grande played Madonna’s “Vogue” and Whitney Houston’s “I’m Every Woman.” Grande has always said that her act is heavily influenced by these two pop legends. Rappler gave the show a very positive review. “Ariana Grande enraptured Pinoy fans with her soulful and soaring voice… Performing her latest songs live, the vocal powerhouse can put on an electrifying show.” The review praised Ariana Grande for being able to dance and still hit those high notes. It also praised Ariana’s several virtual guests. It sounds like Ariana Grande has survived Donutgate, at least in the Philippines. Billboard, who recently wrote an article on the topic, thinks the whole Ariana Grande backlash bit was overplayed. “What might once have been a not exactly commendable but trivial incident of young, romance-besotted obnoxiousness becomes, in the hyper-efficient 2015 ecosystem of scandal and reaction, a frenzy.” Ariana Grande’s donut scandal is remarkable, not because Grande committed a horrible crime. However, it shows how the Internet lynch mob just waits for the smallest things in order to attack celebrities, especially women. There was even talk about Grande being charged for her non-crime. According to USA Today, Joe Marin of Wolfee Donuts, where the incident took place, told a Canadian radio show that he filed charges against Grande and that information that he decided not to press charges was completely false. It appears that Marin is milking the publicity for his donut shop for every penny it’s worth. Last month, the Inquisitr reported that business at the donut shop had tripled since Ariana Grande’s scandal. Meanwhile, Grande is trying to forget the scandal and moving forward musically. MTV recently reported that Ariana will headline the new Disney album, titled We Love Disney. Jessie J and Ne-Yo will also appear on the album, which is scheduled to be released in October. According to MusicTimes, Grande will be releasing the first single from her own upcoming album Moonlight very soon. “Focus on Me” should be released by the end of the month. Let’s hope that radio stations forget about Ariana Grande’s recent donut shop behavior and give the song a chance. www.inquisitr.com/2363104/ariana-grande-thrills-manila-with-madonna-and-whitney-houston-covers/

Of course she is heavily influenced by the greatest voice and greatest artist of our lifetime...what a great combo! Whitney made it popular to blend gospel vocals with pop music and Madonna brought back dance music with a vengeance making it possible for every dance diva after her, from Janet to Ariana, to capitalize on the dance genre. Imagine if Madonna never took off with her first 2 albums...mainstream pop would have just been a playground for rock girls like Benatar/Stevie/Cyndi while the club-oriented acts would just languish on the dance and R&B charts. It's always nice when singers like Kylie, Britney and Ariana acknowledge Madonna as paving the way...as for those who don't I'm sure they know the bitter truth :) Meanwhile, If M does a reality show, it better be a documentary of the RH tour!

"I'm Every Woman" was a Chaka Khan track first, keep in mind, but, with their debut albums, Madonna and Whitney definitely set a template for pop/dance and pop/R&B females (and some males, too).

I always think about Madonna as a visual artist everytime i hear her songs... Maybe that's why i always like the songs the most she shots a music video for...Also i prefer "happy upbeat " Madonna so my top two favorite songs/videos are Give Me All Your Luvin and Bitch I'm Madonna.
Wondering if she ever gonna get yet another top10 on BHot100 on her own. I'm pretty sure soon she will be recording with someone hot and exciting so as a featured artist thats almost 100 %

I adore the GMAYL video...it definitely doesn't get enough recognition in these parts
I think M is savvy and ambitious as ever. Watch her next lead single feature the artist du jour and hit TOP 10. I think she's probably disgusted with how RH got blindsided with the leak.

A RS employee had mentioned it on Twitter or something, but we've heard nothing since. It would be the first one of those special RS issues dedicated to a female act.

That was poignant...probably just as good as Darren Hayes'. It's funny how these guys can pull off covering Madonna’s ultra-feminine style when usually other females can't. I also liked that little glee guy singing ITG.
On another note, did we ever mention Love Won't Wait as another great M tune given to someone else?

Taylor Swift, One Direction, and Madonna Tickets In Demand OverseasSome of the biggest names in music will be taking their talents overseas this fall, including Spandau Ballet, pop princess Taylor Swift, One Direction, Madonna, and Ariana Grande. One Direction and Taylor Swift have been dominating the touring market in the states all summer, and so it is no surprise that their tickets continue to be competitive internationally. Ariana Grande will be touring internationally for her first time, and veteran Madonna is expected to break records when her Rebel Heart Tour heads out overseas. Below are highlights for each tour, with ticket data provided by viagogo.com. Madonna | International Dates: November 4 – March 27 | Get-in Price: $60, Cologne, Germany Madonna’s The Rebel Hearts Tour, in support of her thirteenth studio album, is scheduled to kick off on September 9th in Montreal. The North American leg of the tour will wrap up in October and will cover Europe and the U.K. in the months of November and December. In her touring past, Madonna has broken records on the road. According to the Billboard Boxscore, Madonna’s MDNA tour in 2012 grossed $305 million and moved 2.2 million tickets to 88 shows. For Rebel Hearts, Madonna’s most inexpensive international date is currently her November 5th show in Cologne, Germany, where a get-in ticket is just $60. At the other end of the spectrum, her most expensive show to date is her March 6th show in Auckland, New Zealand, which has a get-in price of $172. Since Madonna’s tour has months to go before it kicks off overseas, fans can expect tickets to rise in the upcoming weeks. www.forbes.com/sites/jesselawrence/2015/08/26/taylor-swift-one-direction-and-madonna-tickets-in-demand-overseas/
