To date, Madonna has released 75 singles across 13 albums, four soundtrack albums, and six compilation albums, with "Give Me All Your Luvin (from the upcoming LP MDNA ) being her latest. She has had 12 number-one hits in both the United States and the United Kingdom (with different sets of songs), plus 24 chart-toppers in Canada, and 38 US, 60 UK, and 49 Canadian Top 10 hits. Madonna has dominated the radio and video airwaves for quite some time, and although the moniker of "King of Pop" is firmly affixed to Michael Jackson, "Queen of Pop" gets bounced around to every new fluffy pop tartlet who claims to integrate music and fashion like it's something that's never been done before This compendium of the most significant Madonna singles ever attempts to traverse the vast terrain of subjects, styles, and themes that Madonna gravitates towards most across her 29-year-long career. Before I (and a friend) began shortlisting Madonna singles, we decided that in order to do this list justice we would need to determine the most significant themes in Madonna's body of work, so as not to end up with 15 dance songs, 15 ballads, or 15 random songs. The songs on this list aren't necessarily characterized by just how huge the single was in terms of critical reception or chart performance, but rather how significant they are (without potentially repeating themselves) in helping to shape this iconic woman.
