"In 2013, Billboard named Madonna the top Hot 100 solo artist of all time. She holds the title for the act with the most Top 10 singles in the United States, and reigns as the female with the most #1 singles in the U.K. According to Mediabase, the music industry service that monitors radio airplay in the U.S., there are currently no less than 20 Madonna songs in regular rotation on adult-contemporary and classic radio stations across the country. By every objective measure, she's the most successful singles artist of all time.
But Madonna cast aside her reputation as a “singles artist” relatively early in her career, with albums like Like a Prayer, Erotica, and Ray of Light making a case for the singer as a consummate artist. (Listen to our list of Madonna's greatest album cuts and B-sides here.) Her colossal success on the pop charts, which generally rewards familiarity and predictability, was possible not because she bucked the system—though from “Live to Tell” to “Justify My Love” to “American Life,” she's rarely played it safe—but because she struck a balance between embracing trends and setting them.
This month the Queen of Pop hits another milestone. In honor of her 60th birthday, we've ranked all 78 of her singles. (To be eligible, a single had to have been released as an A-side in at least two major markets.) The bottom of our list is, not surprisingly, populated largely by Madonna's most recent singles. But the decline in the quality of her latter-day output is a mere footnote in a 35-career that has spanned—and, for the most part, mastered—pop, R&B, dance, electronica, and beyond, while simultaneously tackling taboo topics, elevating underground trends, empowering minorities, and pushing the boundaries of so-called good taste. Let's get to it. Sal Cinquemani"
