1 Madonna, "Ghosttown"

Even in a great year for pop music, Madonna is still the queen. The power ballad off her March album Rebel Heart was a more classic pop turn for the singer after the house hit "Living for Love" and trap digression of "Bitch I'm Madonna." On the massive, romantic track, the singer tackles both world issues and a reflection of self. Even though the single didn't crack the Billboard Hot 100, it still topped the dance charts and showcased one of the singer's strongest vocal performances.

The lyrics from Madonna's "Ghosttown" were named by PopCrush as one of the best lyrics of 2015!

Madonna, "Ghosttown"

Even with no light / We're gonna shine like gold / In this mad, mad / In this mad, mad world... 

Is "shine like gold" a bit of a cliche? Yep, sure is! But that doesn't really matter, because the sentiment feels genuine: Madge's post-apocalyptic, us-against-the-end-of-the-world anthem is all about overcoming adversity. And, to be honest, the world really did get scarier (and madder) this year, but you can always count on Madonna for a little inspirational uplifting...even in our darkest hours. --Bradley Stern

Best single choices from Rebel Heart! I loved the concept!

[madgefan 10,137]

This has to be the best single she's ever released since Hung Up... I can't believe she didn't perform it in the Rebel Heart Tour as part of the standard setlist! Not even in Australia!!

[Holy_Water 208]

This song is a masterpiece   But it's completely underrated.

The lyrics, the video, the message, everything about this song is amazing. Definitely in my Top 20 favorite M songs. 

The video is that kind of videos which can be watched without sound, but you'll still understand the meaning of the song 

Btw, she looks FLAWLESS in the video...

This so deserved to be #1 

[Fighter 28,797]

The important thing is that it slayed us 

[Gabvinet 236]

I wish there was an acoustic guitar version of that song, even a piano version would be lovely

yep

I always felt like this album should have been presented in an entirely different way. "Living For Love" would have been a lovely piano ballad, whereas "Ghosttown" would have been great as a dance song. And the third single could have been the original mix of "Rebel Heart" which was far superior to the one that ended up on the album. 

[madgefan 10,137]

Well the presentation of the album and the singles choices has already been discussed til death. I think we all agree the leaks damaged a huge portion of the album's success.

[Headless.Headphones 727]

I just wanted to say since hearing this song the presence of male vocals backing her brought me back to the early albums, it was a nice touch for a timeless recent ballad. 

[Turuncan 737]

So many nice things to say about this song... When the video was released, I was in another city, visiting friends. I met someone on Tinder and fell for him. We had such a good time with friends. I loved the album itself so much, after the disaster of "MDNA" and I felt like I made a comeback to my fandom. The video was amazing, everyone was so happy. So many good memories...

[Turuncan 737]

One thing that has always confused me since I watched the video for the first time is why she is always referring to the same cities, namely New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and London. She did that on 'I Love New York' and also to the countries of these cities in 'Candy Shop' with the addition of Japan, though it was Pharrell's rap. I mean, there are some other cities in the world, too!
