Nice one Borderline! 

[maddy1111 1,565]

Wow, I totally didn't expect Borderline to take no. 1 spot even if I LOVE that song, but really didn't expect so many fans rate it so high as well. Nice surprise. 

 

Thank you @Curtainsand looking forward to next megarate

You're welcome! I expected Holiday myself (and would have totally agreed with that since it's my fave from the album) but Borderline is really great too !

[Rocco Comelon 5,251]

Thanks again @Curtains... Looking forward for more of this. ✨?

[Rocco Comelon 5,251]

At first, I thought her leading man in this Borderline Music Video was Roger Taylor of Duran Duran. 

[Fabiolous 5,488]

Holiday deserved a lower rank, totally overhyped. Lucky star should have been #1

[Voguerista 11,723]

What a show @Curtains    ! I was shocked Borderline took first. 

[MaDöner Kebab 6,858]

Borderline is so overrated. I truly hate that song so so much.

[RUADJAI 14,898]

@Curtains I have a small request. Can we go out of order. Instead of Like a Virgin, can we do an album from the middle somewhere?

I thought of this but feared they might do the reissues in chronological order and ideally wanted to do the megarates before the reissues were released. That way i could have a last round with the exclusive tracks competing.

Well, to me, it's one of the best songs of her entire catalogue. Amazingly written, sung, performed, everything. I wish Physical Attraction went top 3 with Holiday and Borderline though

[Foreigner 1,157]

Borderline is a good song, but I classified it #6 or #7.

I will be present for Like A Virgin era

[SuperBicycle 602]

Wow a great countdown, thanks to @Curtains for organising. I must say I am a bit surprised with some of the results, I expected Holiday to be #1 even though it is not my personal favourite, but am happy my favourite came in at #2.

I think the bottom 3 are fair, it is hard to compete against the smash singles, but listening to Madonna again made me appreciate how this is such a fantastic album which has stood the test of time.

My comments, which I wrote as I was listening, for what they are worth are

• Lucky Star - Not a strong opener, the only version I really like are the live versions, specifically WTG and CT.
• Borderline - Better than LS, but still needs to pack a punch, which it lacks, especially knowing what is coming up.
• Burning Up - Classic, top song so far. Holds a special place as this is the first song of Madonna I can remember and was what made me a fan.
• I Know It - basic and fun, a bit of a filler. Not a classic like LS but i still I like it.
• Holiday - The is the best version, I am sick of it in concerts, but in this album it is an absolute standout.
• Think of Me - Like I know it, but still prefer to LS. Like the brass saxophone section.
• Physical Attraction - Not one of the best, but still a great album track.
• Everybody - Classic as it is the first single, but a bit repetitive. Much better live.
• Ain’t No Big Deal - Similar to I know it, Think and Physical. A bit more boppy, I like it.

Think of me deserved much better

Nah the Reissues definitely won't be in chronological order.

oh, I forgot to check this till today! I was hoping for more LOVE for "Think of Me", which always was a favourite and with time it's maybe the song I listen to the most from the album. happy with "Borderline" at number 1, another one that I've come to appreciate more in the last few years. "Holiday" I never listen to anymore. and regarding "I Know It"... I knew it, haha.

I Know It deserves so much more, it is honestly such a good song
