I don´t think Robbie will go back to TT, at least not permanently.anyway, I hope his next album works, I really think he´s talented, and takes risk (that not always work...but that´s another story)

and are these two charts going to be the official ones? i mean, like 4 years ago they had problems because they printed the chart before the year end, and finally the number 1 was different! (I guess the rpoblem was between keane´s first album and Scissor sisters first album)

AL was hardly preceded by a smash-hit and was nt produced by commerical producers.

but i think AL would have been somewhere in the top 75 if lucky

Amen to dat.

For as much as it wasn't a smash, No. 36 for the year isn't all that bad. Where was AL in the YE ranking for 2003?

BBC Radio 2 are airing a special four-part programme for the New Year, counting down the THIRTY biggest-selling singles of the careers of Michael Jackson, Prince, Motown and Madonna in the UK. Madonna's one aired today, complete with the history behind the recording of each track, as well as commentary from various musicians and celebrities. A real interesting listen for fans. I'm sure it will be on iPlayer soon so if anyone's interested in seeing what track ranks where, have a listen.

The 2003 Year End UK chart had American Life at #52 and it sold 310,000 that calendar year.

Right, here you go then, the Top 30 biggest-selling Madonna songs in the UK, from Radio 2.

It's exactly the same as the list someone posted a few months back from VH1, though it seems Beautiful Stranger and Like A Prayer have switched places (they WERE 8 and 9 respectively).

1 Into The Groove

2 Like A Virgin

3 Holiday

4 Crazy For You

5 Papa Don’t Preach

6 True Blue

7 Hung Up

8 Like A Prayer

9 Beautiful Stranger

10 Frozen

11 Vogue

12 La Isla Bonita

13 4 Minutes Madonna & Justin

14 Music

15 Material Girl

16 American Pie

17 Who’s That Girl

18 Don’t Cry For Me Argentina

19 You’ll See

20 Borderline

21 Gambler

22 Live To Tell

23 Erotica

24 This Used To Be My Playground

25 Ray Of Light

26 Dear Jessie

27 Causing A Commotion

28 Justify My Love

29 Hanky Panky

30 Dress You Up

All in all, an interesting programme. They stated that TIC had sold 4 million copies in the UK :blink:

Some interesting archive interview footage also. :lmao: at Kylie Minogue saying she had "Ray of Light" on repeat on her kitchen stereo.

LAP and BS were back to back on the VH1 list!

8..Beautiful Stranger.............1999....513,992

9..Like A Prayer..................1989....513,231

I have a hunch the list from Radio 2 is older than VH1's : 4 Minutes is now over La Isla Bonita, and on Radio 2 shows up below. Probably BS had stronger sales in 2008 than LAV?

good list thanks so much for it........the list is a total eye opener.....

a no1 is not even in the top 30 - Sorry....

quite a few of the top 10 are non no1's......2,3,4 ...which have outsold all but 1 of the no1s of course.....

no9 was a no2 too......BS has outsold LAP, Frozen, Vogue.........

Madonna's longest running No1's Vogue and 4 mins are her 7th and 9th best selling no1's.........surprisingly out told by TB.....a 1 week no1 I think and not even a first release!

None of the non-top 5 songs made it on the list.....

with so much compettion im surprised....23, 24, 27, 29 are that high!

we should make a separate thread for this....
