Greatest Hits Concept


Recommended Posts

Okay, so Madonna's greatest hits are actually big sellers and they do rather well in streaming but lbr...the last two are lazy as SHIT. So, I was thinking...what if they actually continued the original idea of having "religious titles" for her greatest hits albums?

The Immaculate Collection

  1. Holiday
  2. Lucky Star
  3. Borderline
  4. Like a Virgin
  5. Material Girl
  6. Crazy for You
  7. Into the Groove
  8. Live to Tell [Edit]*
  9. Papa Don't Preach
  10. True Blue [Remix Edit]*
  11. Open Your Heart
  12. La Isla Bonita
  13. Who's That Girl
  14. Like a Prayer [Album Edit]*
  15. Express Yourself
  16. Cherish
  17. Vogue
  18. Justify My Love
  19. Rescue Me

The Second Coming

  1. This Used to Be My Playground [Barcelona Gold Edit]
  2. Erotica [Edit]
  3. Deeper and Deeper [Edit]
  4. Fever [Edit One]
  5. I'll Remember [Orbit Remix]
  6. Secret [Edit]
  7. Take a Bow [Edit]
  8. Bedtime Story [Edit]
  9. Human Nature [Video Version]
  10. You'll See [Edit]
  11. Don't Cry for Me Argentina [Miami Mix Edit]
  12. Frozen [Edit]
  13. Ray of Light [Edit]
  14. The Power of Good-Bye
  15. Beautiful Stranger [Radio Edit]
  16. American Pie
  17. Music [Edit w/o Intro]
  18. Don't Tell Me [Edit]

I would honestly take out TUTBMP and replace it with a new track...possibly something from the Music sessions but that's just me.

The Holy Trinity

This would be a box set released after MDNA to celebrate 30 years of Madonna including the previous volumes and a third disc with all the singles released after 2001. The deluxe version would include an additional disc with all he singles that were not included.

  1. Die Another Day [Radio Edit]
  2. American Life [Unmixed]

  12. Miles Away [Radio Edit]
  13. Masterpiece
  14. Girl Gone Wild [Radio Edit]
  15. I'm Addicted [Radio Edit]*
  16. Beautiful Killer*
  17. Celebration [Benny Benassi Edit as NEW Song]
  18. NEW Song produced by Avicii
  19. NEW Song produced by Avicii

*we are gonna pretend that these were the singles and that GMAYL and TUTR never happened.

 

What do you think? nat1 Do you have a different idea?

The 7'' Edits from David Bowie's Station To Station are only buy-able on a 5 CD reissue version of that album.
When they could squeeze them onto the one disc as 'extras' ?
But why do that when you can spend hundreds of £'s and get lots of free bits of paper...sorry 'fan-club merchandise' reprints !
Has there been any 'Greatest Hits' of hers with j u s t the 7'' Versions ??
THAT I could see selling.

I've had an idea for a Greatest Hits concept for a while that I plan to post sometime soon, the title of the record is called "M."

I also have meticulously been going over every single release and precisely crafting the most perfect, articulate singles collection yet since it's most likely there won't be one an actual, officially, properly released one that will be able to completely satisfy all of us.

Ugh, I love your threads. The Second Coming was such a clever title, according to Encyclopedia Madonnica 20, Something To Remember was initially going to be called Sacred Ballads, so your "religious" concept makes sense.

My ideal GHV2 tracklist includes singles edits in chronological order:

01. Erotica.

02. Deeper And Deeper.

03. Secret.

04. Take A Bow.

05. Bedtime Story.

06. Human Nature.

07. Verás.

08. Don't Cry For Me Argentina (Miami Mix).

09. Frozen.

10. Ray Of Light.

11. The Power Of Good-Bye.

11. Beautiful Stranger.

12. Music.

13. Don't Tell Me.

14. What It Feels Like For A Girl (Video Version).

15. American Pie.

16. Time Stood Still.

17. GHV2 Megamix.

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with Madonna's greatest hits, I like how they didn't go overboard and only released four comprehensive compilations. My ultimate Warner wishful thinking is a properly mastered unreleased/b-side collection and maybe a sequel to You Can Dance. No effort required, just uploading her most popular remixes from Like A Prayer to Hard Candy to Spotify and voilá, You Can Dance II.

When it comes to The Immaculate Collection, it is hard to choose, but i would add Who's That Girl and Causing a Commotion (or Dress You Up).

The Second Coming was a perfect title and a logical continuation to The Immaculate Collection. The 90s Madonna was all about quality and art. Some songs like Bedtime Story weren't hits, but they are so important. I think it would have been better if the compilation was released after American Pie during 2000.

  1. This Used to Be My Playground 
  2. Erotica
  3. Deeper and Deeper 
  4. Rain
  5. I'll Remember
  6. Secret 
  7. Take a Bow 
  8. Bedtime Story 
  9. Human Nature 
  10. You'll See
  11. Don't Cry for Me Argentina 
  12. Frozen 
  13. Ray of Light 
  14. The Power of Good-Bye
  15. Beautiful Stranger 
  16. American Pie
  17. New song

 

The Immaculate was released in 1990 and if The Second Coming was released in 2000, then it would have made sense that the third compilation was released in 2010. I don't know about the title, but if it was a box set that included previous compilations, The Holy Trinity would make sense.

  1. Music
  2. Don't Tell me
  3. What It Feels Like For A Girl
  4. Die Another Day
  5. American Life
  6. Hollywood
  7. Hung Up
  8. Sorry
  9. Jump
  10. 4 Minutes
  11. Give It 2 Me
  12. New song

I know I am probably alone but i wish they would leave the religious mockery out. Jesus related themes seem to be the only religion targeted.  You never will see her or the company mock so blatantly names from the Islamic faith.

I've loved Madonna for most of my life, and even oddly enough Like  a Prayer is my favorite tho the Christian in me isalso offended by it.

She's made her religious statements and has tried to play God but after a while it is redundant.

If any of you guys is a Britney Spears fan, then you know the best case scenario would be a Singles Collection for Madonna. From wikipedia: "a CD+DVD edition and a box set, which contained twenty-nine singles, each packaged in its own slip case with original cover art. The CD+DVD edition, as well as the box set, contains a DVD with Spears's music videos." The box also includes B sides for every single, so some very rare songs like Autumn Goodbye and I'm So Curious are easier to find thanks to this, and now they're on Spotify thanks to the collection being on there too.

For Madonna, it'd be something like this:

  1. Everybody (Album Version)
  2. Everybody (Dub Version)
  3. Burning Up (Album Version)
  4. Burning Up (Alternate Version)
  5. Holiday (Album Version)
  6. Think of Me
  7. Lucky Star (Album Version)
  8. I Know It
  9. Borderline (Album Version)
  10. Borderline (New Mix)
  11. Like a Virgin
  12. Stay
  13. Material Girl
  14. Pretender
  15. Crazy For You
  16. Crazy For You (Shep Pettibone Remix)
  17. Angel
  18. Into The Groove
  19. Dress You Up
  20. Shoo-Bee-Doo
  21. Gambler
  22. Gambler (Extended Dance Mix)
  23. Live To Tell
  24. Live To Tell (Instrumental)
  25. Papa Don't Preach
  26. Ain't No Big Deal
  27. True Blue
  28. True Blue (Extended Dance Version)
  29. Open Your Heart
  30. White Heat (LP Version)
  31. La Isla Bonita
  32. La Isla Bonita (Extended Remix)
  33. Who's That Girl
  34. Who's That Girl (Extended Version)
  35. Causing a Commotion
  36. Jimmy Jimmy
  37. The Look of Love
  38. Love Don't Live Here Anymore
  39. Spotlight
  40. Where's The Party (Remix Single Edit)
  41. Like a Prayer
  42. Act of Contrition
  43. Express Yourself (Immaculate Collection Version)
  44. Express Yourself (Album Version)
  45. Cherish
  46. Supernatural
  47. Oh Father
  48. Pray For Spanish Eyes
  49. Dear Jessie
  50. Till Death Do Us Part
  51. Keep it Together
  52. Keep it Together (12'' Remix)

That'd just be the singles up until the Like a Prayer era, but you get how it'd work. A single in its regular version and its B side, both versions of the songs would be remastered. I've made some changes to the formula as some songs have a B side that's repeated somewhere else, so I've put a remix in its place. It'd be a love letter for all the fans out there, and a good way to get Supernatural and Ain't No Big Deal physically nowadays, with rare mixes and B sides from the 90s too. The best case scenario would be a big box package where every single has its own cover and artwork in its CD.

This is definitely the route they should have gone down - love the stylistic consistency across the collection
