Two worldwide multi-week #1 smashes from two of pop music's greatest women (and both peaked at #7 in the U.S.). But which do you prefer?

"Hung Up" is a modern classic, and my choice.

"Hung Up" is a modern classic, and my choice. Not a fan of either song, but 'Hung Up' seem much catchier and closer to a "classic".

I think "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" is more of a classic song than "Hung Up," imo. I voted for that.

Hung Up for sure. It ruled the world for 16 weeks straight.

I should probably hand over my gay card for this, but I've always felt "Hung Up" is a tad overrated. It's not bad, but it's not THAT great either. "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", on the other hand, is simply marvelous. What an admirably economical construction, put to a sizzling effect. And so meta, too, seeing as the titular hook is basically a declaration of our own collective reactions to the song itself. Years later, it sounds as delicious and infectious as ever. Now that, is what I consider a classic. Oh, it has the better video too. I mean, that... thing she donned!

"Hung Up" is cute but "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" is a much better song imo.

Hung Up relied too much on the Abba sample. Brilliant use of it, but still, it was all about that sample. I didn't tire of Can't Get You Outta My Head as quickly. It's a close call though.

I think both are aight. But I'd probably say Hung Up is better.

Extremely tough choice. Hung Up is more epic-sounding while Can't Get You Out Of My Head is an addictive pop tune. It's like comparing Bad Romance to TiK ToK. I pick Hung Up.

One is too reliant on an ABBA sample and the other craftily handles it's nod to Kraftwerk. The choice is yours but the answer is obvious. It's like comparing Bad Romance to TiK ToK. Funny. I've always regarded 'Bad Romance' as a souped-up 'Head', beginning with the substitution of la for rah.

Pls don't mention Tik Tok anywhere near these pop tunes. It's definitely hard to say. Hung Up is Madonna's biggest hit worldwide, but she has plenty of classic hits, whereas Kylie's song is her biggest as well, but has little hits worldwide. Although I prefer Can't Get You Out of My Head since its so damn sexy, The Abba interpolation in Hung Up is just awesome

I prefer the Madonna song, but if it were Love at first sight vs. Hung up, then LAFS would win!

I love Madonna, but Kylie would do circles around "Hung Up".
