Your Ultimate Madonna Song Chart

Scott Mills counts down a chart of your Ultimate Madonna Songs. January 1984 saw her first Top Ten hit with Holiday, and in the almost 40 years since, she has had 63 Top Ten Hits

Scott Mills counts down a Top 40 chart of your Ultimate Madonna Songs based on her Top Ten Hits. January 1984 saw her first Top Ten hit with Holiday and in the almost forty years since then, she has had 63 Top Ten Hits including thirteen number ones.

To quote from the official UK Charts Company fact file - From Like A Virgin in December 1984 to Secret in August 1994, Madonna logged a run of 36 consecutive Top 10 hits – no artist has bettered that since. Take a Bow broke the run in December 1994. She had another run of 17 consecutive Top 10s from You Must Love Me in Feb 1996 until Me Against The Music in November 2003.

Madonna is also one of the few artists to keep herself off the number one slot – in 1985 when a re-release of her debut chart entry (Holiday, number 6 in January 84) was held at number 2 as the song from the film ‘Desperately Seeking Susan’ – Into The Groove – was at number 1.

You can hear even more extraordinary Madonna facts and behind the scenes insights in archive interview clips from Madonna herself alongside collaborators Nile Rodgers and William Orbit.

Madonna is, without doubt, one of the world’s most successful artists in the history of music. She has spent more than ten years (in accumulated weeks) in the UK Top 40.
