This morning my husband in the car told me to play Take A Bow (of which I have never been a HUGE fan), but then we played Youโll See and THAT one I do like very much and made me think of so many great ballads she has that I havenโt listened in a long time. I thought of Iโll Remember too which I never hear on the radio. Iโll do a Spotify playlist of my favorite ballads. From Music all the way to her last album there were always at least 2 slow songs I really liked. Wait..why have I thought you were straight? Am I confusing you with another M fan? Ha ha, nope. Not straight at all, ha ha. : ) Maybe another member with a similar name?

^ I agree with you, I like Youโll See better than Take a Bow but I like TAB video more if that makes sense. Yes, i fully agree with you and Fly Away about this. The TAB video was superior. I don't know how many times I watched the MTV Special about the filming of it! I don't like or agree with bullfighting, but the video was so well done. Now that I think about it, I don't recall the full YS video, but only one scene. I'll have to rewatch. ; ) And I also LOVED the early 90s so much. Especially the Blond Ambition, Truth or Dare, Justify My Love, etc days. But I was still obsessed during the Bedtime days.

Comparing the TAB video to the YS video isnโt totally a fair comparison. TAB obviously had the bigger budget, filming on location in Spain, while the YS clip was filmed on sets. The things that YS has going for it is that the cinematography on YS is gorgeous and M looks stunning.

So there is like 25 more years of M records that had a lot of great slow songs. ;) But for pre 1995 yes, i can play that album.

It says your summary of 2020 is ready.

Question for the Madonna fans, do we know how and why she blew up so much in Europe?
The question of UK singles chart peaks came up in the Mariah thread and Madonna is really the only one of that generation (w/ Mariah, Celine, Whitney, Janet) who consistently dominated the UK and several other European markets. I don't know if her label(s) or team had a different international strategy or if she struck a chord with her consistent usually club-friendly music, but I really don't know why there was such a difference.

www.yahoo.com/entertainment/lenny-kravitz-talks-justify-my-love-let-love-rule-214013302.htmlLenny Kravitz talks โvery sensualโ โJustify My Loveโ recording session with Madonna, new memoir and 30 years of letting love ruleLyndsey ParkerยทEditor in Chief, Yahoo Music Wed, December 2, 2020, 4:40 PM EST It was 30 years ago this week that Madonnaโs racy, Jean-Baptiste Mondino-directed โJustify My Loveโ music video made its television debut, on ABCโs Nightline, after it had been rejected by MTV the week before. Speaking to Yahoo Entertainment while promoting his fascinating new memoir Let Love Rule, Lenny Kravitz, who cowrote the trip-hoppy track with former Prince protรฉgรฉ Ingrid Chavez, still finds it amusing that the artsy clip, which featured fetish imagery and partial nudity, generated so much controversy at the time. But he marvels at how his savvy friend turned what could have been a career setback into a groundbreaking marketing opportunity. โJustifyโ went on to sell 5 million copies in the U.S., and it still holds the record for best-selling video single of all time. โThe video was banned, which when you look at it now, you wonder why,โ says Kravitz from his Bahamas home. โIt looks very light now, you know, but it was beautiful and sensual and gritty, a beautiful black-and-white film. And since MTV banned it, [Madonna] decided to sell the video [on VHS, for $9.98], and each video counted as a single. โฆ I remember people being lined up around Tower Records, around the block, to get this video of Madonna, and the thing went No. 1. And it was No. 1, globally, for I don't know how long. It was enormous. In fact, it was her biggest hit at that point in her career.โ Kravitz was just getting started in his own career at that point โ his debut album, also titled Let Love Rule, had come out the year before and had peaked at No. 61 on the Billboard 200, mostly on the strength of college radio airplay. And his friendship with Madonna, which had developed while touring that record and hanging out in the European club scene, was still new. Yet he already had the confidence to know that โJustify My Love,โ despite not seeming like a typical pop single (and certainly not like a typical Kravitz song), would be a mainstream smash. And he had the confidence to try to talk Madonna into recording it herself. โIt was super-sexy and hard at the same time. I just felt it. I just knew that there was something very special about the track and the minimum quality, because it was so minimal. Just a gut thing,โ Kravitz muses, revealing that he is sitting on his own unfinished version of the song, which he might release someday. โI was working on some demos, and โJustify My Loveโ came up and I loved it, but I knew it wasn't for me,โ Kravitz recalls. โI thought it would be perfect for Madonna. So I called her and I said, โI have a No. 1 song for you.โ And she said, โNo, you don't.โ And I said, โYes, I do. โฆ Where are you? I'll bring it over.โโ That very same day, in New York City, Kravitz found himself standing in front of Madonna, โJustifyโ demo in hand. (The demo included Kravitzโs moaning guide vocal, which ended up on the final version and can be better heard on an amusing fan-made, isolated-vocal YouTube video.) โShe said, โPut it in. Go ahead.โ And I put it in the cassette deck, turned the console up to 10, and out it came,โ Kravitz recalls of the fateful Madonna meeting. โAnd the whole room got really quiet. And it ended and she said, โPlay it again.โ I pushed play, played it again, and she said, โLet's record it.โ And I think we started the next day.โ Kravitz, who has always maintained and he and Madonna never dated, gets a sly grin on his face as he recalls the โJustify My Loveโ recording session โ and it seems heโs saving its juicier details for a possible second memoir. โIt was just the two of us and my engineers, and it happened in one day. It was very quick. And, uh, there are details about that session that I cannot tell you, but it was fun. It was fun โ and very sensual,โ he says coyly. โJust know that it was all very authentic.โ

Madonna dominated the UK charts with her now classic pop hits. The UK loved Madonna. There was no different international strategy. All her UK chart peaks are here: www.officialcharts.com/artist/28948/madonna/13 #1s 63 Top 10s! 71 Top 40 hits 75 Top 75 hits

Very cool and odd!! And to me it is so clear the comparison. I perfectly remember her face from the true blue video. Do more do more please!! :) So, be honest. To which Madonna video have you applied already your face?? :)
