For most of her career, some songs weren't chosen as singles because she was saturating the market (they had to choose between a single for the previous album or a new single). What I mean is, between 1984 and 1987 she wouldn't have had time to release one more single, she kept them dropping regularly. Same goes for 1992-2001.

I'm just gonna add:

Erotica:

- replace Bye bye baby with Waiting o Words

Music:

- Music

- Don't tell me

- Amazing

- impressive instant

- what it feels like for a girl

Hard Candy:

- 4 minutes

- Give it 2 me

- Miles away

- Beat goes on

MDNA:

- Masterpiece (early single to promote W./E. in 2011)

- Girl gone wild

- Beautiful killer

- I'm addicted

- Gang bang

Rebel Heart:

- Borrowed time (summer 2014 single)

- Living for love

- Ghosttown

- Bitch I'm Madonna

- Hold tight

 

I wish she has made music videos for Angel, Dear Jessie, Rescue Me, Waiting, Revolver and Nothing fails (as well as all the songs I mentioned above). Rescue me and Revolver could have been hits would some promotion

Nothing to change before Hard Candy

Only changes for Hard Candy et Madame X

 

Hard Candy

  1. Beat goes on  - pré single summer 2017-  6 month before the release of the album
  2. 4 Minutes
  3. She's not me 
  4. Give It 2 Me
  5. Miles Away

 

Madame X

  1. Medellin summer 2018 pré single
  2. Killers who are partying
  3. God Control
  4. Crazy

The soul of Madame X, that is to say, the dna of the project which is the slow and intimate fado side will not have been exploited commercially in terms of single. It's a daring album that is not insured. It should have begun the exploitation of the disc by "Killers" with a clip impregnated by the Portuguese imagery with Madonna in brown in a scenery like the poster of Madame X Tour

Skin (Ray of Light)

Amazing/I Deserve It  (Music)  as a double single (with the Amazing as the video) 

Dance 2 Night  (Hard Candy) A clear F****** miss of a hit single.

Just a few off the top of my head I no order:

Over and Over, Promise To Try, Where's The Party,  Be Careful, Nobody Knows Me, Swim, Amazing, How High, Devil Doesn't Recognize You, Love Spent, Beautiful Killer, Masterpiece, Joan Of Arch

I could add so many more. Nearly every song in her catalog are winners with a only a few I didn't like here and there.

So many songs to choose from.  I agree with what @L-U-Vpointed out. The earlier part of her career, she was over saturating the market as it is. There was no time to release other singles.  And with the last decade, the purpose of a single no longer works for an artist like Madonna since radio and mainstream sources have put her out to pasture.  That all said; here are a few of my thoughts.

Where's the Party;  Radio was already treating it like a single. I believe when YOU CAN DANCE was released, it would have a great opportunity to release the song as a single.

Promise To Try; It's a beautiful song. There wasn't really time to release this since she was releasing singles up until Vogue. 

Forbidden Love from BS album; They should have went ahead and released this as the final single. It wouldn't have been as successful as Take A Bow was in the states, but it would have done well since Babyface was a huge ticket at the time. It could have worked coinciding with the release of Something to Remember as well.

Swim: Though, she had released several singles, and then moved on to releasing Beautiful Stranger and American Pie, and soon Music came along.  Beautiful Stranger should have had a single physical release, it would have definitely been a top ten hit.

Amazing:  It would have been a decent hit for her.  I know she didn't want to release it and refused to release anything else from the album.

Nothing Fails:  Should have been an official proper single if not the first single from the American LIfe album.

Push:  Was something a bit different from the rest of the Confessions album.

Dance 2night and Devil Wouldn't Recognize You

Love Spent & I don't Give A

Rebel Heart: Could have been released as the last single tying in the tour.  A live video from the tour video would have been enough.

Joan of Arc
