Recording artist Madonna is one of the most influential people in all of 20th & 21st century popular culture. She has sold over 300 million records worldwide, has had 12 #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, won 7 Grammy Awards, and has been honored with countless other records and accolades.
But my friends, if you had to pick the absolute best song by Madonna, which song would you pick? I left this list more skewed to the modern hits, and intentionally left off a couple trash tier songs (like "Like a Virgin").
Here's a link to her singles discography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madonna_singles_discography

No borderline? Or Burning Up?
For shame.

oh yeah Borderline should definitely have been included in the poll, that's my bad.

Only heard a handful of tracks by her and most of them are insanely bland. Die Another Day is the worst Bond theme by many miles. Hung Up is the only track I've heard and liked.
EDIT: Wait, I just realized what 4 Minutes was. Didn't know that was her. Welp, not allowed to change my vote unfortunately.

Die Another Day is the worst Bond theme by many miles.
The worst Bond title song is Another Way to Die from Quantum of Solace (coincidentally, QoS is a complete disgrace of a film and also the worst in the series). However, I'd say that Die Another Day is the 2nd worst song (fittingly, it is also the 2nd worst Bond film).

I voted for Like a Prayer, which I believe I've talked about either on this forum or on stream before; just a truly epic song, and of course the "remnant" troll piece of me has to respect the immense controversy caused when the song & music video were released. (Pepsi had to pull out of sponsoring her world tour, and had to pull the advertising campaign they spent $5M on featuring her and the song).
Hung Up is a truly insane and amazing song... Wikipedia claims it went to #1 in 45 countries, which was a record at the time; but I have a distinct memory of reading about it years ago, and reading it went to #1 in like 51 or 54 countries. (Despacito went #1 in 47 countries, so it would have taken the record). Hung Up just truly bangs at a level almost impossible to explain. It's been used in numerous Dam 00 Agent videos, which further augments its lore within the community.
I personally love La Isla Bonita; what a truly insane song... songs that can transport you to a place; especially a warm, positive place, are just incredible. But really, there is no end in discussing the insanity and incredibleness of Madonna's songs... one could go on forever.
Glad to see so many other fellow Madonna appreciators in this community. :smokin: ;)

My fav is probably into the groove. Not listed, a shame

I love Like A Prayer and think it's her greatest song. I listened to 2 of her full length albums last year which were shockingly good. A few duds here and there but overall great records.
I have to mention the use of Like A Prayer in Harmony Korine's feature film debut Gummo - an incredible movie, one of my personal favourites. The song is used to superb effect, as with all of the film's incredible soundtrack.

Can't decide between Hung Up or Sorry, listened these songs a lot back in 2006-2007 on the radio
My sister was a huge fan of Madonna (still is today) so I heard a lot of her songs. I think she has the Confession Tour DVD somewhere
