Really?? Wow that would be hardcore.
I remember actually the "LAP" 12'' Extended Remix was in "The Immaculate Collection" for years too instead of the proper Q-Sound particular mix done for that compilation originally. It was later fixed and correct now.
Even with today's little things here and there... we've come a long way with her digital catalogue.
Also, Warner were very precious of their catalogue at first and put a black border with the Warner logo for every cover, except on iTunes (Apple wouldn't allow that s**t). Example:

They had all Madonna covers like that too on Amazon, Spotify, etc. everywhere except iTunes.
I don't think they were that confident that digital sales would last maybe... but they did, and even with a worse model for them: streaming.

According to some of the oldest itunes reviews, they apparently had the Like A Prayer 12” extended remix in place of The Act of Contrition at first too. 

It doesn't even sound like Niki so.. I always thought it was the lady from the music video.. was she an actor then? Beautiful vocals. I think MJ used the same choir for Man in the Mirror.

How? She's not even credited.
We always knew that it was someone from the The Andraé Crouch Choir.

Watch people taking this out of context to paint Madonna as someone "stealing Jean's vocals" and "not allowing her to be part of the video". 

I don’t believe Madonna will be forgotten anytime soon. Movies like The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind are almost 100 years old and still get screened and talked about. There is music that old that still gets streamed or featured in films, tv, ads etc
Her influence on pop culture will be studied for centuries ahead.

Who was #1 in the Ancient Hot 100 in 1882?
Joking. But recorded music and pop idols as we know them are a 20th century thing anyway. So who knows what will happen, we don't really have anything to compare with.
Michael's music hasn't died (even though he's been sort of cancelled in the last few years), for instance. Elvis is still there as well (thanks to the biopic lately). I think she will always be present somehow. She's way past that point when they reach immortality and are, indeed, forever.
That is if the world continues as we know it, of course, if everything goes to hell or changes drastically then who knows.

Love it!
I’ve seen some ppl say things like “now it’s going to be known as the d&w song” like it’s a bad thing. If this helped (re)introduce or remind ppl of its greatness then so be it. It’s still doing 800k+ a day on spotify a month after the movie. 🙏
I hope they find opportunities to boost other classics like this. Into the Groove. Ray of Light. Live to Tell. Open Your Heart. (Though hopefully more strategic w/future opportunities 🙃).

One very distinct memory I have of this kind of thing was with Paula Abdul’s Forever Your Girl album.
I bought the cassette during Cold Hearted’s run bc I loved that song and had liked Straight Up. Was so disappointed when I got it and the album track didn’t have her little rap (and had longer instrumental parts). Was so annoyed I had to get the cassingle anyway lol.
Ah the days when labels actively tried to sell both singles and albums.

An interesting detail that many people overlook is that the first version people heard was the 7'' version, which came out long before the album version. For the general public back then, the 7'' was essentially the original. However, after 30 years, this has mostly been forgotten, and now most people assume the album version came first, followed by the single.
For me, it was a letdown when I bought the album and heard 'Like A Prayer.' Figuratively speaking, it felt as if half the instruments were missing compared to the 7'' version. The same thing happened to me with 'Open Your Heart' three years earlier (my mother bought the cassette when all the singles had been released). Situations like these are what turned me into a collector of her singles and remixes rather than her albums when I became a fan.

LAP has been added to few Spotify playlists, keep streaming, sharing & Shazam song, maybe it will keep the position for next week in UK 

Love it!

What a song.
That's all I'm saying here.

Who would have dared to imagine that the religiously international controversial song would be called the action movie's best theme song decades after it was released? 

This song was a huge controversial hit prohibited by the Vatican for our generation, and then the new generation will be remembered as the greatest theme song in the history of action movies that makes the every action movies scene grander and more majestic.
 
And One thing is very very clear and very certain : This is not due to Madonna's incompetent and useless team.

#28 in the UK this week (down from #27 last week).

Back to the new release "Causing A Commotion", would be cool to have an official Madonna YouTube upload of this performance:
Which was the one used for videography specials and so since there wasn't a proper official video for the song, right?
PURE ENERGY.
Creative director, go give us something and update the HD Video playlist, left without any updates since "Don't Tell Me" in November last year, do that challenge.

I think I'm the only one that loves Celebration compilation... I even love the clicks on Music, makes it different from the main album version haha! But at the time of it's release I thought it was too much 80's representation, leaving important hits from 90's and 00's. 

Omg I remember thinking back in 2009 (and I was a fan back then) that the videos for her first 3 US singles each felt like they were targeting a different demo.
Just Dance gave mid 00s hipster vibe. The outfits and extras all looked like they were straight from American Apparel.
Poker Face was obviously aimed at the gay club scene.
LoveGame was like she put herself in a grimy hip hop/crunk video (w/blatant Campari sponsorship).
SORRY ppl not to derail the topic again. 🙃

Pretty sure that's the date that's been floating around for a while now. Even when she was on tour. No idea why it's listed.

Not sure, but since it’s part of the ep and Madonna’s the credited artist it might.
For what it’s worth LAP is # 16 on Billboard’s hot digital single sales chart.

I will be happy to have nice, clean versions of the Dub and Movie House Mix!
Those German CD singles from 1995 were muffled and distorted.

Can’t wait to have the movie house mix on repeat the ENTIRE weekend 🤗

And me the Silver Screen Single Mix

Can’t wait to have the movie house mix on repeat the ENTIRE weekend 🤗

Agree, as clueless as her team seemingly is even they have to be aware that what little engagement these little digital eps get is solely from her fans. It’s not like a bunch of marvel bros will start streaming CAC instead. They won’t even know it exists.
I mean they dropped the Cherish ep right while LAP’s engagement was increasing. And I don’t really believe her team was strategic enough to drop that when they did to further promote the silver vinyl.
