If the track list for FEL was

1. Holiday
2. Like A Virgin
3. Material Girl
4. Into The Groove
5. Open Your Heart
6. Like A Prayer
7. Express Yourself
8. Vogue
9. Justify My Love
10. Frozen
11. Ray Of Light
12. Music
13. Hung Up
14. Give It 2 Me
15. Girl Gone Wild
16. Bitch Im Madonna
17. Medellin

we might have ....and I stress might...have some cause for comparison. 

So Imma have to immaculate all the way.

Further proof that a single disc Madonna greatest hits is pure shenanigans. The quality is too much. and the above wouldn't even be it.

Well that would have been a great tracklist!

This wouldn’t really make sense because up until JML this is too similar to Immaculate Collection. 
After all it’s a remix collection and all those 80s mixes sound very similar to the album versions or the inaccurate versions. 
And I like the fact that they included her very first single (even if I’m not a fan of it and it charted 5 years after release) and the very last. Medellin wouldn’t be a good album closer. 
And they included Living For Love over BIM because that’s one of the few exclusives on this project. And even if BIM charted better at the time none of them are huge hits and they’re pretty interchangeable. 
And of course they’d include 4 Minutes over GI2M since that was her last real hit song.

I think both FEL and TIC are far from perfect but compilations like this never are. There’s always tough decisions and painful omissions on them.

TIC is obviously an all-time classic but credit where it's due, FEL has been my go-to gym playlist since its release. The remastering sounds great and they did a great job representing four decades of Madonna history. Can't wait for the 50-track version!

TIC obviously.  I hate remix albums, so FEL was never gonna get my vote. And yes I realize that some songs on TIC were technically remixed too, but it's less noticeable on most of the songs and they're much closer to the originals anyway.

I haven't bought - and will never buy - FEL; it's just a quick way for her to earn a fast buck. I don't need the remixes - I already have all her musical stuff. With that said, I absolutely adore TIC. No matter how many compilations she puts together, she'll never beat TIC.
