80s, 90s, 2000s, four decades of music, abec, moi, ML, VC.
00:07
Welcome to the party, bitches.
00:09
After a delayed start due to a medical emergency,
00:11
Madonna's Celebration Tour is in full swing
00:14
and the living legend kicked off her US leg earlier this month.
00:16
In celebration of the queen of pop, we are taking a look at
00:19
Madonna's five biggest hits on the Billboard Hot 100.
00:22
âȘ We took a holiday, holiday âȘ
00:26
Since arriving on the Hot 100 dated October 29, 1983 with Holiday,
00:31
Madonna has earned a total of 58 chart hits, including 38 top 10s.
00:35
âȘ
00:38
âȘ Come on, let's go âȘ
00:41
Let's kick it off with Vogue at number five.
00:43
Her tribute to voguing in the New York City ball scene
00:46
is as iconic as its glamorous black and white music video
00:49
directed by David Fincher.
00:50
âȘ When you call my name, it's like a little prayer âȘ
00:54
One of Madonna's more controversial hits lands at number four, Like a Prayer.
00:57
The song premiered in a two-minute Pepsi commercial in February of 1989,
01:01
but by early April, after pressure from conservative protests,
01:04
Pepsi canceled the ad campaign and ultimately pulled out
01:07
of sponsoring an upcoming tour from Madonna.
01:10
34 years later, in September of this year,
01:12
Pepsi released the shelved commercial to the praise of Madonna,
01:15
who wrote on Instagram,
01:16
"The commercial was immediately canceled when I refused to change
01:19
any scenes in the video where I was kissing a black saint or burning crosses.
01:23
So began my illustrious career as an artist
01:25
refusing to compromise my artistic integrity.
01:28
Thank you, Pepsi, for finally realizing the genius of our collaboration."
01:31
âȘ I've always been in love with you âȘ
01:37
At number three is Take a Bow.
01:39
Even though the two songs above it had stronger overall chart performance
01:42
on the Hot 100, Take a Bow actually spent more time at number one
01:45
than any other Madonna song, seven weeks in early 1995.
01:49
After scoring a number one hit in almost every year since 1984,
01:53
Take a Bow was her first chart topper in three years.
01:55
Madonna co-wrote and co-produced the song with Babyface.
01:58
âȘ Say I'm crazy for you âȘ
02:02
Crazy for You takes the silver medal.
02:03
The track was written and recorded for the 1985 film Vision Quest
02:07
and showed a new side to Madonna as her first ballad to top the Hot 100.
02:11
After spending three weeks at number two on the chart,
02:13
it finally knocked the all-star charity single
02:15
"We Are the World" by USA for Africa out of the top for one week.
02:19
âȘ Like a virgin âȘ
02:23
âȘ Touched for the very first time âȘ
02:26
This feels appropriate.
02:27
Madonna's very first number one, "Like a Virgin,"
02:29
is number one on our list of her biggest Hot 100 hits.
02:33
The title track and lead single from her 1984 album
02:36
spent six weeks atop the chart and became one of the diva's signature songs.
02:40
And how can we forget her iconic performance at the 1984 MTV VMAs?
02:44
The giant cake, the wedding dress, the impromptu choreography.
02:48
It's all part of the Madonna legend that lives on to this day on the Celebration Tour.
