It begins. Five years ago, the forum embarked on a journey the likes of which had never been seen before: we were going to rate Madonna's entire discography, from beginning to end, and find out what her best song was. And I was your shepherd through this valley of the shadow of foolishness. It invented popularised the 11/10 mechanic, was spread across three rates, took a whole year, and even survived the host getting banned twice in that same year (seriously what the fuck even was that) but by the end, we had done it. We had created a definitive countdown of every single song Madonna has ever released. Now, it's time to do it all over again. Madonna is the most successful female artist of all time. Let that sink in just a little bit because "of all time" is a phrase that is probably going to be coming up a lot in the next six months I plan on this thread being on the first page of this sub-forum. There are no caveats or asterisks or subgenres next to that title. No one else has done this more successfully than her. Every single artist we talk about and love on this forum? Madonna outsold. Every single drastic image change or sound shift or brand endorsement? Madonna probably did it and better. Pissed off the Vatican because the statue your ancestral home town erected in your honour was "too sexy"? Madonna did that decades ago, hun. The current Pope probably stans to be honest. Madonna is: a maverick a provocateur a Catholic, sometimes a performer a songwriter an actress a director an activist an ally a mother a skincare company CEO a children's book author an owner of a brand of gyms showing your fave how it's done in better shape and better looking than you, and you're half her age an awesome-in-the-classic-sense legend Madonna is not: your bitch, so don't even think about hanging your shit on her Three hundred million records sold, the highest grossing solo touring artist of all time with a whopping $1.4 billion in ticket sales, and will only stop when you fucking kill her. Madonna is the Queen of Pop. And we're going to rate every single song she's ever released... again. Here's how it works: 1. You give all of the below songs a score between 0-10, and one song can be awarded an 11/10. Half points are allowed, and I'm not allowing anything that's any smaller because frankly I know good and goddamn well some of y'all will fret over the difference between a 6.7 and a 6.8 and frankly I don't want that nonsense in my inbox. 2. Don't be a fucking moron, and don't troll. Like... exactly what it says on the tin. There's good and bad everywhere on each album presented, so score accordingly. We're all big girls these days; bombing out a particular album or overscoring certain album to the point where your scores make no difference outside of puffing up averages isn't allowed, and will get your ballot challenged and/or thrown out. Additionally, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Some of these songs were born out of the some of the biggest social movements in history and Madonna's role in these movements helped moved the dial. Know what you're scoring. 3. Send your scores to me by 15th June. There's a lot of music to cover in here, I know, but I'm hoping that y'all are familiar with most of this stuff anyway, and without the pressure of commentary it should be fairly doable in two months... maybe even less considering we're all trapped indoors with nothing to do but listen to music. 4. Commentary is NOT permitted outside of your 11/10 If you submit commentary for songs outside of your 11/10 choice, it will not be used. The best thing about the original threads was how they all ended up having a buzz and an atmosphere. It was like unwinding in a bar over some drinks with friends and discussing your mutual favourite subject. I'm going to strive to continue that atmosphere, and I actively encourage y'all to post and share what you would have sent to me anyway. Phew! Buckle your seatbelts girls! There is no hyperbole present when I say that the albums and songs you're going to be rating over the next two months are genre-defining in their success and brilliance. It doesn't get bigger than the music on offer here. This will probably be the most difficult rate most of y'all have ever done. There are probably around forty songs here that have legitimate claims to the winning spot, and for the first ever time, they're actually all properly against each other rather than being spread across different rates. Anyone who has maybe got ahead of doing their scores will attest to the difficulty, I'm sure. I wish you an ounce of luck. Madonna (1983) 1. Lucky Star 2. Borderline 3. Burning Up 4. I Know It 5.

This is probably the rate I’ve been waiting for the most since I ever joined this forum. Reading the original rates was so much fun and so engrossing, and I went in being a very casual fan of Madonna to a full blown stan by the end of reading them. I did my scores ahead of time, but I still don’t know what my 11 will be.
Rebel Heart being almost as long as the first three albums put together nn. I cannot miss this rate tho, it's gonna be such a mess, I can't wait.
Whew let’s go. Her and Xtina were first two pop giants that I started to stan after leaving my Manson / NIN depressed teenager era and what changes it brought to my life. That was a cultural reset. I’m forever grateful for her. I am ready to defend American Life (the song and the album) against some of yall’s missing tastebuds!
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: A legendary song. Those Oprah vocals are flawless, and something she'll probably never replicate. Those post-Evita vocals over a guitar-trance instrumental are otherworldly.
Definitely doing this. I've only heard the early stuff once (if at all), so it's definitely long overdue. Though I can say with some confidence that American Life is her best album and my scores will reflect that.
Tens tens tens tens tens tens tens tens tens tens tens tens tens tens across the motherfucking board. I'm ready.
