These things are not always accurate, though. Madonna is credited as a writter of Physical Attraction (and of Borderline, If my memory is not failing me) on one of these publisher's websites and is not credited on the album, so...
I love this live performance
Madonna was an absolute force of nature on The Virgin Tour.

It started out as a much better Confessions outtake.
Mirwais later repurposed the instrumental for Get It Right by Y.A.S.
Thanks for sharing, I never knew this! Keep The Trance certainly could be improved but it shows some fire. It's shocking how like all the magic of the song was dried out for the Hey You conversion. And even though Pharrell was there, it also lacked his characteristic beats. It feels like they decided to go anthemic but ended up anemic.
Why not both?
I kinda like the Madame X version, it has a cool production. But I don't think it goes well with the lyrics from Back That Up.
Probably she should release an EP with the original Pharrell demo, the sped up version, the slowed down one and the Madame X version.
And I stand corrected, seems like it is re-peaking in TikTok/Shazam. Now that she's aware, maybe they'll not act too late this time.
Same, I had read about it but I never even bothered looking it up. It's fun indeed.
Pharrell's stuff is kinda minimalist and the Madame X version is the opposite. It has an 'everything but the kitchen sink' vibe to it.
I don't have a problem with the latter approach but for Back That Up I feel the Pharrell version is superior.
Madonna should ride on trend and get Back That Up To The Beat along with the other Madame Xtra tracks online (maybe with the Pharrell demo as a bonus)
Ciao Bella is a stomper.
I stan The Virgin Tour for that setlist alone.
Just here to say that Crave is a modern M classic, I go back to it so often.
Just here to say
Hey You
LOVE this.
UK iTunes chart:
#3 Gambler (7’’ Version)
#33 Gambler (Extended Dance Mix)
#3 Gambler (7’’ Version)
#33 Gambler (Extended Dance Mix)
It's no. 3 in the Greek iTunes, too, I saw. @Vasilios must have purchased it twice to chart at that position
I was convinced I previously only had Gambler as a LQ download which I lost in the midst of time and your post reminded me I have this CD and....flop me.
“The truth is that the Company’s entire business model relies on using insidious marketing and promotional activities from A-list celebrities that are highly compensated (without disclosing such), to increase demand of the Yuga securities by convincing potential retail investors that the price of these digital assets would appreciate,” the 95-page fraud complaint states.
With the Oseary-backed crypto company Moonpay working with Yuga to covertly slip payments to the promoting A-listed talent, the whole scheme saw Hart, Fallon, Paltrow give BAYC NFTs the seal of approval without the celebs revealing the often hefty compensation they were receiving.
Hated her NFT involvement so not surprised at all that this has happened. Very poor decision on her part.
But also, celebs being to paid to increase demand/inflate the value of products shocker.......I suppose the difference between Balenciaga and an NFT is that investing in the latter can financially ruin you.

Yes, and it's in my lil Japanese CD Singles Collection box set and a very well done unofficial reissue cd single a-la the '90's reissues. That Gambler is getting some attention on its own terms in 2022 is a proper pop justice if ever there was one!
