Imagine releasing a follow-up to a mega smash like "Hung Up" and it being A+ in quality.

It topped the European Hot 100 for 4 weeks, being the 2nd single of the era to top the chart after "Hung Up" which led for 12 weeks.

It also reached #1 in the UK, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Romania and Spain and went top 10 in 30+ countries. It peaked at #58 in the US.

Her opening the song with saying "Sorry" in 8 languages is so iconic!

I've heard it all before...

You stayed because I made it so convenient

Don't explain yourself you LIED to me

 

She put crack in this song I swear the lyrics the layers the feels the vibes. It's all in there.

The way it became a global smash even with the US paying it dust. Went Diamond in my house

Loved it always, but I'm fuming a bit since the demo leaked:

THE SLAYAGE!

It still sounds so FULL after all these years. That build-up before the final chorus gives me an eargasm.

I remember Hung Up was #1 on the united world chart for eons to finally be dethroned....by Sorry. 😆

Pushing 50 and still dominating the planet with this era.

They don't make classics like this one anymore.

Get Together outsold but yes

the lyrics always hit hard, the production is so sleek and rich, the build-up, i get shivers just talking about it... one of my favorite songs ever

SOTC!!!!

one of the best songs of the millennium i fear. addictive

One of the best songs of all time

This sounds just as good today as it did 20 years ago!

the genius of repeating "sorry" as an instrument like a synth in the background, making "sorry" lose its meaning and literally fade in the background. 'Sorry' the classic that you are... we need to make it go viral so it can have its re-peak in the top 10 in the US as it shouldve had before

Sorry is the cherry on top of an already successful era for Madonna. The song is pop perfection but it gets lost in the dozens of 10/10 songs she has, it's about time she dusts it off for her next tour!

Also, this should be an award winning remix.

It's actually insane how good this still sounds 20 years on. I have such a clear memory hearing this song for the first time on the radio in my parent's car and bopping along so hard. This and "Hung Up" were what introduced me to Madonna as a kid.

A flawlessly executed dance track can truly defy time. That is what she did here. Happy 20th, "Sorry". Unreal how time flies

Cannot understand why she hates this song, it hasn't aged one bit

This is basically the extended mix....

A bop. I remember the morning show here used to broadcast the music video, and the hosts were so excited. It was Spring 2006, I think.

I've heard it all before repeating is also crack and points were made!

Pop perfection but it almost feels like a random hit in her discography, she has too many hits.

So its been 20 years I turned gay
