#8 or not, I Know It is still a JAM. On a lesser artist's album, this could easily be their top song.

#6 has the 4th-highest SD and one of only two songs to receive every rank possible (1-8).

Mmhmm. I knew I had to come in here and attempt to do the Lord's work at least ensuring that Everybody wasn't any lower than what it actually is. Y'all hoes are so janky but I already knew that. But anyway, I wish Think of Me could have been higher but this album is too damn good.

Funny enough, I actually heard this song that samples "Everybody" before I heard "Everybody" itself

Everybody being 6/8 just shows how great of a record her debut is.

I knew "Everybody" was gonna get done dirty, that beat is so raw/sleazy. Y'all wanna skip around to "Holiday."

Hello! Any guess what's next? #5 has the 2nd-highest SD! 10 top-3s vs. 20 bottom-3s.

I was worried #5 would be "Burning Up" because I always see hate for it on Pulse for reasons I cannot comprehend. Happy to be wrong

Now it's getting dicey. #4 has the HIGHEST SD and was in the pole position during the whole first half of submissions. Things took a turn and it fought hard to finish top-3 but missed out in the end by just THREE points. 10 #1s vs. 7 bottom-3s.

Not two of the best songs going 4th and 5th.. ugh. This entire top five is fantastic, though, so I can’t be too mad at the result.

At least 10 of us had enough taste to rank it #1. I'm not surprised where it exited, sadly.

Sire had set a deadline in April of 1983 for Madonna's record to be turned in so, after getting their hands on the demo, Jellybean and M sent the track to their friend Fred Zarr so he could rearrange and reprogram it to M's liking. Jellybean had not produced any song of his own but was aware of how to reconstruct the different musical pieces in a studio so, once they got the new version back, he composed the sound, assembled the musicians and hummed the tune to them for the recording. Just before it was completed, the trio reunited in the studio with M asking Zarr to add a piano solo towards the end. Although her label had been preparing to release Lucky Star as her album's third single, radio programmers took a liking to Holiday and started playing it on their own. This resulted in it peaking at #16 on the Hot 100 and becoming M's first #1 hit on the Dance charts as well as a top-10 hit in half-a-dozen other countries.

Today was another grueling 10-hour workday so I must eat dinner now. Stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion of the Madonna rankdown!
With 36 points, 21 #1s, and someone's #8 ranking between them, which iconic Madonna record do you think will take the crown?!

I think I could see someone ranking "Lucky Star" at #8 over Borderline, but I'm not sure.

Legend says that Madonna wasn't a fan of the song being a single until Warner exec Jeff Ayeroff convinced her that its release would sell enough records to pay for her legal troubles at the time. He was right as the song went on to become her biggest hit in the States up to that point, peaking at #4 on the Hot 100 (#1 on the Dance charts), and pushed album sales past Platinum.

It was also one of Jellybean's remixed tracks and, per Seymour Stein (founder of Sire Records), the song that convinced him to move forward with a full-length Madonna album.

Thanks SHOOTER! Great rankdown, fun to see the single sleeves and truly not a bad song in the entire countdown. Great to see Burning Up almost hit the Top 3.
