The concert looks amazing.
The visuals etc, I just balled.
Cannot wait to see her ❤️
I was going to avoid spoilers but it’s just impossible. Kudos to those that are able to resist.

Incredible interview. Spoilers - read at you own risk. Billboard Stuart Price Shares Sonic Secrets From Madonna’s Celebration Tour On opening night, she was very candid about the bacterial infection that sent her to the hospital and postponed the tour. When she was in the hospital, did you ever wonder if the tour might not happen? “For a tour you’ve been working on for such a long period of time and that’s had so much time invested in it — especially by Madonna — when you take a break for it, the only thing you focus on is “what’s the end result of what happened here?” To me that is someone who looks so strong, so healthy, sings so great and moves so great. Your experience when you see the show is one of wonder. Not just creatively but artistically as well.” Full interview: www.billboard.com/music/pop/stuart-price-madonna-2023-celebration-tour-interview-1235449185/

Billboard The 500 Best Pop Songs: Staff List In celebration of the Billboard Hot 100's 65th anniversary, check out the Billboard staff's ranked picks for the 500 best pop songs that have graced the chart since 1958. www.billboard.com/lists/best-pop-songs-all-time-hits/6-Madonna “Like a Prayer” Madonna takes us to church with this classic, conflating the imagery of her Catholic upbringing with lyrics about the transcendent pleasure of intimate love. Of course, she courted controversy with the song and its music video – which featured burning crosses and (gasp!) an interracial love story – but in the end, the joy of the undeniable hit, with its gospel-choir harmonies and clap-along bridge, won out. Madonna’s peerless catalog of hits has no shortage of indisputable pop masterworks, but the pure elevation of “Like a Prayer” makes it the Queen of Pop’s crown jewel.

Like a Prayer is also my fave Madge song, although the two huge hits from Ray of Light and Hung Up come close too.

Oher M entries I see on that list are "Borderline" at 128. and "Vogue" at 186. I saw three for some other acts, though not sure if any have more than three.

Borderline is kinda strange pick up for the list. I would go with Holiday or Dress you up. Or even Open your heart.

Borderline was my #1 Madonna song until Rain came along. Well-deserved. It's a classic.

^ “Rain” is a song by her that I’ve always loved, but I’ve gained an even greater appreciation for lately - one of her most effortlessly beautiful songs. Definitely in my personal top 5 from her.
Regarding the list, the cap of 3 songs definitely makes Madonna feel underrepresented here. “Like a Prayer” is absolutely the correct pick for her top song, and I think “Vogue” and “Borderline” are nice choices also. If I could add a few songs, I’d add “Hung Up”, “Frozen”, “Rain”, and one of “Express Yourself” or “Open Your Heart.” (Justice for “Into the Groove” never charting!)
The tour videos I’ve seen so far have been incredible. I can’t wait to see her in person for the first time.. definitely a bucket list show. To see her just continue to preserve and be the icon she always has been is everything.

She has so many gems! In terms of hot 100 hits, my favorite is LAP. Vogue is another great choice. I wouldn’t give B the third spot even though I love the song. But I’d give it to another Ray of light (musically and vocally one of her best) or Live to tell (her best ballad IMO). Like a virgin is also a classic (in the same vein as Billie Jean) but I see those other two songs as artistically at another level

Little flashback…I remembered that Cherish peaked at #2 for two weeks. I completely forgot that it then plunged down to #12..straight out of the top 10. Rather big drop back then from such a high position. ![](//storage.proboards.com/1258812/thumbnailer/yXbmOwKkyqfEglECynCY.png)

"Cherish" did hit No. 1 on both Radio & Records and Cashbox, so all was not lost. Same for "Material Girl." The Celebration tour has been earning glowing reviews. One female writer who gave it four stars said she would have given it five stars if M was acting her age. ![:-P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

M said she wasn't feeling well on a recent tour stop. I really hope she can continue this tour!

From today's Billboard: The 100 Best Pop Songs Never to Hit the Hot 100: Staff List#1 Madonna, "Into the Groove" (1985) Why It’s Great: Madonna’s musical contribution to her Desperately Seeking Susan starring vehicle remains one of her (or anyone’s) best-loved songs for its indefatigable energy, deep-burrowing hooks and most importantly, its belief in the power of pop music — such a revelation, then, now and always. Why It Never Hit the Hot 100: Released in summer 1985, “Groove” came out while the then-Material Girl was still at the height of her total and absolute pop culture dominance following the late-’84 release of Like a Virgin — so much so that her Warner label decided to relegate the soundtrack song to the B-side of that album’s third single, “Angel.” (In the U.K., it was released as an A-side, becoming her first No. 1.)

Ah, it had to fight against "Miss You Much" Which is not that great a song TBH. Most of Janet's music before the Janet album is forgettable IMO. Cherish is my 2nd favorite Madonna song after Borderline and i wish it had reached the summit.

One of my favorite Madonna’s songs. Actually I think it’s her best vocals in a ballad. Love the English version and totally appreciated her Spanish delivery as well.

I couldn't disagree more, but everyone's allowed to have different tastes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've always found Cherish sweet but kinda basic.
