The Wikipedia for the single says
“ In Europe, "Who's That Girl" was officially released as the soundtrack's lead single on June 29, 1987. The next day, it was released on the United States.”
cites Madonna.com as the source https://web.archive.org/web/20140201233716/http://www.madonna.com/discography/index/album/albumId/44/
Hoping they do give us the long awaited digital single this month

There’s not really any interesting anniversaries until Who’s That Girl on June 23.
I’ll be disappointed if it gets passed over again for a digital single.
If we do get it then it means the Causing a Commotion mixes aren’t far away, which is a digital ‘most wanted’ for me

They could have corrected her wrong albums like you can dance! Or done something else like correcting her dates
Corrected Lucky Star and Borderline on The Immaculate Edition !

Reminds me of animated transitions on a deck of PowerPoint slides 😬

Music has an animated cover on Apple Music as well

It’s so weird that the Everybody digital single mirrors the 40th anniversary vinyl. There’s never been a connection between digital and special vinyl releases. Otherwise we would have American Life Mixshow on digital and also the Who’s That Girl/Causing a Commotion remixes EP

What’s everyone’s most wanted single on streaming?
mine is Causing A Commotion
Second placed is Dress You Up
I think that if it wasn’t for this singles campaign, they would have done a 40th anniversary digital album for Like A Virgin, and we’d have got Angel and Dress You Up 12” mixes at last that way instead
if Live To Tell does appear this week, I reckon they will follow the anniversaries and do Papa, True Blue and Open this year too.
-
Burning Up digital single gave us a lot. 7” edits for Burning Up and Physical Attraction
but they really skimped on Everybody though
do you think they will give us an Everybody EP with original cover art with the Dub, Extended Version, etc
I still want You Can Dance unmixed version of Everybody on streaming too

Glad to see Keep It Together on digital even if the track listing is incomplete. It keeps the momentum of these releases.
I’ve completely lost track of what release anniversary is next, so looking at Wikipedia there’s
Crazy For You on 2 March (and 18 February in 1991)
One More Chance on 7 March
I’ll Remember on 8 March
Another Suitcase in Another Hall on 18 March
Live To Tell on 26 March
Angel / Into the Groove on April 10
Spotlight on April 25
As there’s only one Madonna track on the original single, Crazy For You is unlikely unless they use the track listing of the 1991 reissue. All of the tracks from the One More Chance single (Spanish and Spanglish versions of You’ll See) are on the You’ll See digital single already.
So presumably we will get nothing in February and I’ll Remember is next.
I will be most disappointed if we don’t get all the commercially released mixes for I’ll Remember, so 🤞
The 12” mix of Angel seems to be the only other long awaited track to make its debut in next few months. Would be nice if they threw us a few surprises a long the way that aren’t tied to their anniversaries

They need to add Let Down Your Guard to Secret
We need all the remaining missing songs on streaming
Let Down Your Guard
Ain’t No Big Deal
at a minimum
And if we’re being optimistic here, Broken
etc
…
and the most keenly missed renixes
Causing a Commotion
Dress You Up
etc
…
Surely it’s time?
Put Ain’t No Big Deal on a Dress You Up, put Guard on a Secret EP with the Instrumental, the Edit again and if they’re feeling generous (lol I know right?!) any outstanding commercially released remixes
-
Have there ever been any rumours of the Re-invention Tour live tracks, released on the I’m Going To Tell You A Secret CD, getting added to music streaming platforms?
-
Still hoping they put another single on for Secret with Let Down Your Guard. Can include the Secret Instrumental to round it out a bit, with the Edit again as well

When did this talk of the unreleased Warning Signs start?
Sounds like the kind of thing that they’d use as a selling point for a special edition album.
I’d like to believe that Madonna will start giving us genuinely songs as part of the Warner deal, but it seems so unlikely based on her attitude this far

If Madonna hasn’t had major hit ballads since Something to Remember as suggested above, than perhaps an expanded edition of the existing album would be more successful than a follow up with different tracks entirely.
I would add a second disc to include
The Look of Love
Promise To Try
Pray For Spanish Eyes
Bad Girl
In This Life
Love Tried To Welcome Me
You Must Love Me
The Power of Goodbye
To Have Not To Hold
Has To Be
Time Stood Still
Gone
Nothing Fails
X-static Process
Devil Wouldn’t Recognise You
Ghosttown
Messiah -
So do we reckon Don’t Tell Me is definitely next, in a couple of weeks time?
Strange to think that Cyber Raga will be on streaming before Ain’t No Big Deal, when that song was used as a b-side on Dress You Up (Japan), Papa Don’t Preach (UK/Germany) and True Blue (US/Japan).

If you were putting together a follow up to Something to Remember, what would your track listing be? And what would you title the collection? Take A Bow, perhaps?
After the dance chart number ones compilation, it might be nice for Warner to shine a light on some beautiful gems in the back catalogue.
With Bad Girl finally getting shown some love on the Celebration Tour, it got me thinking that Madonna’s slower tempo contemplative songs and love songs often get overlooked or comparatively forgotten outside of the fan base.My short list of tracks for inclusion would be:
Angel
The Look of Love
Promise To Try
Pray For Spanish Eyes
Bad Girl
In This Life
Love Tried To Welcome Me
You Must Love Me
Nothing Really Matters
The Power of Goodbye
To Have And Not To Hold
Has To Be
Be Careful (with Ricky Martin)
Time Stood Still
Nothing Fails
Joan of Arc
Messiah
And the long list:
Shoo-Bee-Doo
Sooner or Later
What Can You Lose?
Inside of Me
Drowned World/Substitute For Love
Gone
I Deserve It
X-static Process
Easy Ride
Miles Away
Masterpiece
Falling Free
Hold Tight
HeartBreakCity
Or why not dust off some unreleased songs?
Corazon (Be Careful) solo version
Like A Flower
If You Go Away
I Can’t Forget
Love Won’t Wait
Arioso

It’s a shame that the digital singles are sticking to the maxi single track listings and not giving us more anymore.
Giving us mixes like the TPOG Fabien’s Good God Edit would make sense as I’m sure that shorter mixes would get more plays. Modern tracks and mixes are definitely taking account of shorter attention spans.
Looking at the singles still not on streaming, got me wondering, why did the 1995 UK single of Oh Father use the album version rather than the previously released 7” edit? The Like A Prayer anniversary album is on streaming with an Oh Father ‘single version’, so I can’t see them bothering to put Oh Father single on streaming separately.
I used to play the live version of Whys it So Hard on my Oh Father UK CD single a lot, so I’d love it on streaming, but I just can’t see them giving us an obscure UK only track listing on digital.

Japan got that kind of release years ago.....in 90s. They limited every single to two tracks. Good for collectors, not much for listeners.
That was a lovely looking collectible.
I was thinking of a compilation though.
Often an artist releases a compilation titled “The Singles Collection”, when only a few of their singles were actually significant hits 😆
But a singles collection for M that collated all her singles chronologically would be valid, instead of another ‘greatest hits’, as some of her singles always get overlooked.
Kim Wilde issued all of her singles across three CDs a few years ago, plus a b-sides disc, remix disc and promo videos on two DVDs. A comprehensive set with everything related to her singles. An equivalent for Madonna, even without promo videos on DVD and bonus remixes bundled in would be pretty cool.

Be interested to hear what people think…
Do you reckon that Warner will ever release a Complete Singles Collection for Madonna?
And if they did, do you reckon it would be US singles only? Meaning no Gambler, The Look of Love, Dear Jessie, One More Chance, Drowned World, etc.
I don’t know how many CDs it would take to accommodate the shortest edit of every single at this point, but as vinyl seems to be the priority format now for raking in money from collectors I would imagine that viability on the vinyl format would be the key decider. It would definitely take a lot more than the twelve discs of Finally Enough Love box set and cost a lot more too.
Even if the physical copies on vinyl were v expensive and limited if need be, I still think that such a project would be a great thing for her streaming channels. At least then we would have all of her singles consistently mastered at the same levels. Much better experience for listening / making playlists on streaming too. Ideally all in Dolby Atmos to get the release mentioned by music blogs rounding up the best back catalogue tracks in the format, flagged up by Apple Music for being in the format, etc.
As her hits from American Life onwards had never got their own dedicated hits collection, a GHV3(?!), it’s really noticeable that a lot of the singles like American Life never got to appear on a singles collection… until Finally Enough Love, which isn’t quite the same thing but as it stand is as close at will get for some songs.
I think that even if a new greatest hits compilation is released around the tour (or more likely Celebration is reissued on vinyl), it will just be another non chronological jumble with the same songs being excluded yet again.
A complete singles collection is the only way that tracks like Angel are ever going to be acknowledged again as part of her Charts history.

Madonna loves to not give her fans what they want. It’s like a point of principle with her.
I’m not sure I even believe that there will be expanded album reissues at this point…. and if there are then I kind of assume that they will be super disappointing. Just giving a selection of remixes previously available on the commercially released CD and vinyl singles at the time.
The digital singles reissues campaign is just painfully slow and protracted. I wouldn’t even care if I could still copy my mp3s over to my iPhone to play through the Apple Music app.
I know they all sounds negative/pessimistic, but I’ve been a fan for so long that I know how it is.

Have we had any confirmation since that initial press release that the back catalogue campaign with Warner will include expanded versions of her albums?
I somehow doubt that there will be a second volume to Finally Enough Love, but somehow it would feel like a more believable rumour right now than the official announcement of an expanded classic album.
Madonna doesn’t like dedicating too much time to past work and I think that since Finally Enough Love and those dodgy collabs that working on the Celebration tour has become the sole focus of her ‘revisiting the past’ energies.

I wouldn’t have expected any remixes, but it is a shame that there wasn’t at least an extended version of The Look of Love for 12” single. As it is there was no new tracks to rewards fans who already had the track on soundtrack album. So I don’t think they will bother releasing it as a digital single.
