Madonna

[Andy French]

Just saw a comment where someone referred to Has To Be as "proto-Lana Del Rey" and now I absolutely need her to cover it.

 

[Mr Blonde]

J To Tha LO also had the benefit of having brand new smash hit singles on it.

They will all be fixed eventually. It is, for the most part, to highlight them for casual visitors to artist page as recent releases. They will be fixed into chronological order as further eps are released

Make sense, I wonder if it's Madonna who decides what is labeled 2023 and what is not, for instance Borderline or La Isla Bonita were their release years but Love Don't Live Here etc is 2023

 

[DinahLee]

She's dropping hints about the Celebration setlist with the release years xx.

Oh wow RIP to Seymour Stein

 

[Vasilios]

Wow colour me surprised - never thought JLo would take the (current) crown for a remix album. Guessing this was big for her? Must have passed me by. D

It fet more like a best-of album and not so much a plain remixes set.

That's a really lovely post.

"Unfortunately Seymour was in the hospital for a Heart Ailment!
I didn't care." sent me though dd

 

[manloveuk]

Artists are here to disturb label bosses on life support (rest your boombox on my iron lung mix).

Seriously though, that's some lovely rememberings from Her, and makes me hope we get that bio in some way, shape or form one day - She has some tales to tell!

JLO remixes were totally different songs that shared only the title as the original. That definitely helped her.

That’s only two (arguably her biggest hits). The rest were standard remixes.

That whole hospital scene would be such a moment in the biopic.

The UK album chart is so stagnant with legacy acts at the moment and I’m slightly bitter that Madonna is not benefiting from this. Surely The Immaculate Collection should be up there with ABBA Gold and Queen Greatest Hits?

 

[madgemad]

Never get angry about that stuff. Have you ever listened to The Immaculate Collection in full? That is perfection. Icanheargod.gif

These two are there because of movies / the show / being stocked all over UK physical points of purchase.

She has had a Greatest Hits remix album in the UK charts for 25 consecutive weeks so there is that...

 

[letuinmybackdoor]

Also, Queen and ABBA's stories stopped, whereas Madonna has carried on so, iconic as it is, TIC is missing 30 years of music. She needs a SMASH.

 

[MrWonderfulPop]

She really snapped for this cover spread.

I put off taking in Finally Enough Love for ages because, honestly, being a rabid Madonna remix collector for like two decades now, I wasn't entirely sure I needed to, but the way the 80s songs sound so much fuller and as punchy as they're truly meant to in the 2022 remasters is kind of wild (the remastered Into The Groove remix edit...I can hear God). It's only affirmed my trust and excitement for the full albums

I did this last week, played it all week because it sounds so good...I went from that to the first album and the difference is incredible...these reissues are exciting, I think Mike Dean is genius for this...
