4 discs. basically all US/UK/Jap singles, and notable non-single radio and club promos/hits.

each proper album gets 6 songs. fortunately, almost all of them have 6 singles or sort-of singles. Into The Groove counts toward LAV since it was on the German release. American Pie counts toward MUSIC since it's on the import. Die Another Day counts toward AL, since it's going to be on there. Sky Fits Heaven, beacause the remix appeared on the dance charts. Amazing, because it was a Euro promo. Forbidden Love is included ... well... to give BS 6 songs and because it was planned/rumored as a single twice: once for the BS album and later when it was included on STR.

I've been working on this for years. Finally, all of the pieces have come together. I've finally gotten all of the edits and single remixes I needed and she's fleshed out 2 decades with hits to round off the set.


What do you think of it?

Well I, for one, love it! I'm very proud of it

That's a real nice collection of Madonna songs.

That's a cool compilation you came up with.I wonder what her box set (due in the fall) is gonna be like.

DavidEye said:

She has a box set coming?

rdhull said:

late this year, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of her first album.

AaronSuperior said:

any content details?..Im sure they were already posted here somewhere. I'll lookie first.

DavidEye said:

here's what i'd like to see:


3 discs of the hits (make them all the edits/single remixes), and NOT, i repeat NOT, just a repackaging of TIC and GHV2 ... i don't like either one of these sets.

1 disc of collected rarities: b-sides, soundtrack songs, compilation donations, etc.

1 disc of the higher quality outtakes: the 2 Stephen Bray LAP outtakes ("Love Attack" and "First Is A Kiss", that we've been hearing about for years), the ROL outtakes that are ciruculating, "By Alien Means" (if it exists, and please, let's not get into that debate), "No Entry" and "Throb" from Erotica... "Shake Your Head Let's Go To Bed" (with Ozzy)... "Warning Signs" & "Lies In Your Eyes" (Vision Quest outtakes)... "Working My Fingers To The Bone" & "Pipeline" & "Queen Of Misery" from True Blue... "Dog House" from I'm Breathless... the Babyface songs from ROL... "Love Won't Wait" and the other Shep Pettibone songs that were ditched in favor of the Bedtime Stories album... and several others that aren't springing to mind immediately...


as a seperate release, i'd like to see ALL over her concert videos re-issued on DVD in a collector's set (and individually). hopefully not as part of the box itself, to keep the price down, but as its own thing.

a 2-DVD of all of her videos to replace the 2 woefully incomplete collections out there at the moment...


and... hmmm... i dunno what else. anything on top of all of this would just be icing. but these are my demands. now get to it, Madonna

rdhull said:

no word yet what it'll actually be. her personal assistant/manager answered some questions late last summer on the official Madonna site, and this was one of the things she talked about... at the time, she said hits, rarities, live stuff, videos, etc. the whole enchilada... but you know, these things change over time... and go on to be better than expected, or really watered down so as not to please anybody. so... we'll see. there's really been no word since then what is actually going to be on it.

It's really great Aaron, but where's 'Adore'?

And why isn't 'Where's The Party?' on the first disc?

Nice work! It's pretty perfect! I don't understand the inclusion of "Don't Stop," unless you just want it to be on there, but it's perfect, as always. Nice work!

Moonbeam said:

I think cuz it got quite a bit of radio play. Kinda how we include stuff like 'Private Joy' on our hits collections.

TRON said:

I never knew it got play! Every Madonna album seems to have at least one non-single that gets play.

Moonbeam said:

Yeah, I like that. A lot of times they start playing a 2nd song from the album after it first comes out and it ends up being a later single too like Keep It Together, Fever, etc. Janet gets that treatment too.

TRON said:

Yeah, "Where Are You Now" charted in the top 40 in Airplay. "And On and On," "You" and "Come On Get Up" got some play too.

Moonbeam said:

And 'Throb' was played concurrently with 'That's The Way Love Goes' and later became a UK single.

'You Need Me' got some heavy spin there for awhile too.

I would've taken "Gambler" off and put "Shoo Be Doo" instead... its such a beautiful funk cut. And "Think Of Me" & then I cant 4 get, I would've taken "Where's The Party" off and put "White Heat" instead...whatta cool tune.

paisleypark4 said:

well, as i stated ... this is a hits collection. Shoo-Bee-Doo was not only not a hit or single, but it's a horrible song. Gambler is also a horrible song, but it was a top 5 single in the UK. Think Of Me wasn't a single or hit. Where's The Party was a radio hit.

Moonbeam said:

in a lot of markets, when the Bedtime Story single flopped WB started pushing Don't Stop for airplay. and then wanted that to be the 4th single, but Madonna said no... and did Human Nature. a lot of radio kept playing Don't Stop anyway...

AaronSuperior said:

"Gambler" rules! It's my number 4 Madonna song ever!

AaronSuperior said:

You learn something new every day. Thanks for that! My brother also thought there was a video for "Sanctuary." I'm not sure if I believe it though.

looking toward Her Box Set&Hopefully some Jellybean Re-Mixes are there&some Breakfast Club Stuff as well thrown in.

Moonbeam said:

I don't think that's true anymore. I put two and two together back in the day and assumed it was. It was mentioned as a possible single. And when I saw that footage of her fighting that CGI dragon in her komono, it looked like it was from the same time period. But I've heard since, that that was from some commercial or something. Dunno.

AaronSuperior said:

in fact, where I live, I never heard Human Nature on the radio once, but there were a couple of stations that played Don't Stop like it was the hot new Madonna hit at the top of the charts. and actually, to this day, i'm more likely to hear Don't Stop on at least one radio station here than i am to hear... say, Angel or Causing A Commotion... it's kind of neat. the hit that never was.

AaronSuperior said:

Shoo Be Doo is KUL! I thought since that u were sayin that this is a "hits" collection...where u get off putting "Impressive Instant" "Hanky Panky" Spotlight" ...lol..oh man nevermind! It dont matta:) I already hav my own Madonna collection also! I had put little segues of interviews between certain songs & shit...that was cul...

U Rok

paisleypark4 said:

Spotlight was a Japanese single, it hit #3, i believe... it also garnered quite a bit of radio airplay in the US. Hanky Panky was a top 10 single in the US (top 5 in the UK), and Impressive Instant was officially remixed and was a pretty big club hit... so there

AaronSuperior said:

daym u told me! Well, at least i got mine...

Thought you liked Cher and Liza Minelli better, Aa./lol

Moonbeam said:

I think I might be able to field that. I remember an MTV special when Madonn was making "Take A Bow" and she invited Kurt Loder over. They had a really great interview talking about the album. In one clip, I kind of remember them playing what was probably "Sanctuary" (but could have been "Inside Of Me" or "Love Tried To Welcome Me". They showed a blurry black and white clip of Madonna that looked like it might have came from the photo session of "Bedtime Stories". It kind of looked like a rough music video but wasn't!

It is dissapointing to me that BS (tee hee) flopped becuase its such a great album. It was one of the first CDs I ever owned. Can I ask everyone, do they have the CD with the Madonna's photo upside down? Mine has her head right side up but I bought mine right away. Was this an intenal mistake becuase everytime I see it, the photo is upside down. I remember thinking it looked really bad for a record company to do something like that with a major artist and album. Does anyone even know what I'm talking about?
