Dark Miracles

It's quite tough to pinpoint. She has managed to combine huge success in all formats with ironclad cultural impact in so many eras, even after suffering underperformances. LAP is an obvious first port of call because of the sheer magnitude of the lead single, but that would be 'only' 6 years into her career so maybe a little early. Then again, that's already longer than the average shelf life of 95% of mainstream female artists. She was definitely already an icon by this point though thanks to True Blue. Am I crazy to think it could be with Vogue? That song just remains completely ubiquitous and beloved in all circles despite it originating from a niche community. It doesn't just feel like the token summer dance craze hit either like say Macarena, Cha Cha Slide, Aserejé, Can't Touch This. It feel like a cultural touchstone. It's so often imitated never duplicated too. Going #1 for seven weeks with a single (not even the lead) from your 'damage control' album after the huge backlash she faced with Erotica makes Bedtime Stories also a legit contender imo. But then you come to ROL and it's simply the pinnacle of artistic evolution and bending the mainstream to your will, so that makes it almost too hard to ignore. But that feels too late somehow? ROL feels like an album made by someone who is already legendary and is just adding even more strings to her bow, not someone who suddenly levels up. I really think I'm gonna say Bedtime Stories tbh, defiance is synonymous with Madonna so I feel like it has to be a moment where she has already faced from tremendous pushback, and that era is the first time she recovered from that (and did it pretty spectacularly).

Was expecting her to open her monkey when the trumpets started

Whoever said "the tractors they are many" I hate you I can't unhear that **** now

Ajay's reaction had me horselaughing at multiple moments Dance-tehreeyah

Rooting for this one

we need that Bizarre performance

SAVE Everything Betrayal Fragile Love Without Words OFF I Feel So Free Read My Lips One Step Away

Everything is such a potent adrenaline rush

2 days in a row again with +1M. Imagine what could've been if they made the OG a single instead of releasing that omegabad remix and putting WIB out to pasture So tired of Capitol

I played School on a speaker just now and the bass on that fucker goes absolutely crazy

Really shocked there was no 20th anniversary edition, this was one of the biggest albums of the 00s decade and is still among the most streamed female albums daily

Agreed but it's still bittersweet she gets 1 minute while Bieber gets to do some amateur busking for 3 minutes. Any female artist does what he did and they'd be laughed, booed and harassed off the stage Anyway let's hope she pops up at Tomorrowland this weekend to join Martin Garrix and perform Bizarre. Personally I want Fragile to become a single but it really looks like Bizarre is the outlier in daily streams from the album and every reactor is immediately hooked by its chorus

From Lido Pimienta's new album Caribenya which just came out A bop @karma police @naval23 @Movimento Perpétuo @zach @Reginald @JustHoran @FranzJoseph @obrigado @GiulioLIFESTYLE @bloodyrick @Paddy get in

I WILL keep manifesting that just one time she will do a massive event where she opens with the Madonna! chants from Angel extended mix. It would be so epic Followed by a minute of Hung up and finish with Danceteria!
