All of the singles released in the 80's was OK, none of the others songs from those albums would sell better.
In the 90's I think that it would be great if "Skin" would be a single, but I wouldn't change it for any other instead, so releasing the sixth single is pointless.
00's - definately "Impressive Instant"! This song is craaazyyy! It fits perfectly after "Music", would be massive hit! Also, as many of you, I think that "Nothing Fails" DESERVES a proper music video, but for me singles from "American Life" were chosen rightly. The same situation is with "COADF", I like the singles, but let's be honest - every song is as goog as it could be a single.
The problem starts with "Hard Candy" and continues to "Rebel Heart". So here are my top songs that I'd put as a singles:
- "4 Minutes" (OK, I don't like it, but it's pretty catchy)
- "Miles Away" (maybe would be a hit as a second single with a proper video)
- "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You" (a modern pop ballad - why not?)
- "Masterpiece" (this song won a Golden Globe, even had a chart performance with a lack of promotion - what's wrong with you, Madonna?!)
- "I'm Addicted" (I just love this song, OMG, can you imagine it with a strange, dark, odd video?)
- "Love Spent" (a radio hit, but more ambitious than "GMAYL", or "TUTR")
- "Gang Bang" (Tarantino video, wild Madonna with a gun, we all dream about it...)
- "Beautiful Killer" (there's no chance for the fifth single, but it such a shame this song almost dissapeared on the second disc...)
- "Living For Love" (it was perfect)
- "Ghosttown" (again, the song was on point, not fair it didn't succeed)
- "Unapologetic Bitch" (instead of contoversial "BIM", a great song with a summer vibe)
- "Iconic" (those lyrics <3 even with a video from RHT backdrop)
But that's only my opinion
