Interestingly my 10-7 ranking appeared in inverse order. CPG and THANTH both reached top 5 in my personal chart. I highly appreciated the modern-rockish sound and vocal attitude of the first one (I even remember hearing it as an extra in a US modern rock top 20 show), and the more laid back, dreamy Spanish balladry vibe of the second one. NRM was awesome! Simpler and more traditional dance pop than any other RoL track, but still effective and interesting. The ethereal bridge, thw slightly distorted piano after the bridge, the amazing background vocals in the outro. Quite a strong pop song that deserved much better luck. I was extremely puzzled at its huge floppage in the US

I was extremely puzzled at its huge floppage in the US It ended up peaking at #93 on the Hot 100. Its low chart peak was attributed to a lack of radio airplay and the unusual delay in releasing the commercial single.

Sorry I haven't been doing the reveals as quickly as I should. I have been unusually busy with work and I only had some time to sporadically be on via my phone or my tablet. Let's get back to it.

Frozen probably has this in the bag, but I'd love it if my #1 pulled off the win.

Power of Goodbye is her best. "To Have and Not to Hold" and "Skin" her robbed as well.

Pretty obvious Top 2, but they are both great songs... can't complain!
I knew my #01 pick wouldn't win, but I'm excited it made the Top 5!

More chart tidbits: Madonna kept getting blocked at #1 on the Eurochart Hot 100.
"My Heart Will Go On" blocked "Frozen" "Believe" blocked "The Power of Good-bye"
Madonna had the last say at European radio though, with the above two singles and "Ray of Light" all hitting number 1. DW/SFL and NRM also made top 10 at radio.

Great top 5! Sky was RoLβs 7th top 10 and 6th top 5 in my personal chart I loved her voice, the best, and the ethereal vibe of it. Drowned World was also a very good ballad from her. I was not fully convinced about it when I first heard it, but I appreciated it much better when I bought the album and listened to it as an album opener. The angst feeling at the half point was particularly strong. The Power of Goodbye was her third personal chart-topper from RoL. Love it! The strings break, the tenderness of her voice, the overall music. Just magic. Was shocked/annoyed that it didnβt make it to the top 10 in billboard Hot 100. I remember reading Fred Bronson or someone else at Billboard saying that this was Mβs strongest trilogy since LaP. Couldnβt agree more. Ray of Light... I remember hearing this for the first time in a radio station that was playing lots of techno and other dance-pop music, and I didnβt know/realize it was Madonna. On a third listen I heard the DJ saying that and I wasnβt that impressed, primarily because I was just hearing the electronic beat. Later I had the chance to listen to the song from start to finish and it took me for an unexpected ride. I caught the nuances, and loved the rocker and folksy vibe underneath the electronic layers. And I appreciated how she SANG it. I still see this as one of Mβs top vocal performances ever. So it became one of my favorite songs that year, sort of tied with Frozen, but my love for it has grown with time and now itβs amongst my favorite Madonna songs ever. Frozen: this song was such a surprise! So unlike a Madonnaβs first single that it was Mβs best reinvention. When I first heard it, it seemed like a combo of Mβs Secret humming with Loreena McKennittβs Mummer Dance vibe, that just worked. Her voice had never sounded this angelical and clean. Her music had never sounded this heavenly. I still have a couple of minor cons... at some point in the musical bridge itβs always sounded like thereβs an extra millisecond that disrupts the flow, and at some point the song seems a few seconds too long and thus a bit dragging, as opposed to RoL, which sounds more perfect. Still, Frozen is a classic! I was once again annoyed that such a great song was added to the list of unlucky #2-peaking songs of Mβs catalogue... actually, the fact that such a strong album only managed to have a #2, a #5, a #11 and a 90+ was almost insulting Anyway. Great RD, Eros! Thanks for hosting
