base talk Madonna's most forgotten #1 is also one of her best: This Used to be My Playground

[YourFavoriteWeapon]

Does she even remember this song?  

[l3disko]

its boring

[gimmelaugh]

I love Madonna's ballads 

[Shimenawa]

Not a memorable song and it doesn't sound like a hit. Baffling that it went #1. She has so many better ballads

[blown away]

It's not by far her strongest ballad but still a great #1 hit. Madonna's 90's ballads were great. Frozen, Take A Bowl, Love Tried To Welcome Me, Forbidden Love, Rain, Take A Bow,...

She sang it (briefly) during one Celebration Tour show. 

 

OT: It's a beautiful ballad, but I wouldn't say it's her best

"I'll Remember" deserved this one's spot in her #1s 

 

it deserved number one but not over this ... let's not 

[dabunique]

i remember it knockin out Baby Got Back to snatch number one before End of The Road came to hit umber one for 13 weeks

I love this song! I'm glad some of you guys recognize how amazing it really is. If you look at the comments under the YouTube music video, it seems to be her most loved song by the boomer generation. It was funny to see so many people who were probably against her in the 80s and 90s praising her. I think it's also crazy that this song was released just three months before Erotica, what a significant change. In an *alleged* leaked Erotica draft tracklist, this was tacked onto the Erotica album DWAS teas.

yall just be saying anything online ijbol

While we are at it, let's appreciate the song which inspired Playground

Madonna was definitely channeling Karen Carpenter in her early 90s ballads (including Rain, I'll Remember)

A cute album track. How did this go #1?  I've never heard it before.

Her blockbuster movie  'A League Of Their Own' helped

She sang a few of the lyrics in the second Chicago date of the CeleGAYtion Tour if that counts.

To think this was released right before Erotica.

 

 

She turned the playground into an S&M playground.
