madgemusic85 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Did Madonna have a peak in her career? Or is there more than one peak? Maybe her career is leveled out evenly in your eyes? Maybe her whole career is a peak? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtzlplk Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 She was deff on top of the world from Like a Prayer to Blond Ambition to I'm Breathless & Vogue 89-91 yeah... maybe that's why Janet is very much annoyed with her... when Janet first came up with Control, True Blue and Who's That Girl was so massive that Janet wasn't able to hog the limelight... then when she came out with Rhythm Nation, MADONNA again is riding high with Like A Prayer all the way down to Justify My Love... be that as it may, Control and Rhythm Nation were superb albums even Janet. and the Velvet Rope, included...

acko Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 She had several peaks 84-85: She personified pop culture and at that moment in time THE 80's. She was the it-girl & peaked commercially. 1990: LEGEND 1998-2001: New commercial peak, at the height of her critical acclaim, respect & admiration from the general public. ...is the way I see it.

gemini1313 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 perhaps she has peaked in the very late 80s but she certainly has maintained ICON STATUS and complete respect from her piers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SecretGarden Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 She's had such a high standard throughout all her career, every era is wonderful but if I had to pick one "peak" then it's definitely Like a Prayer/Blond Ambition/Truth or Dare. She was in top form in every way imaginable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasqual Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 i gues for each decade we had one pick and i guess now we will have another one. she somehow each decade has Transgression, Prophecy, Masculine/Feminine and Redemption parts if you know what i mean... Low sales album, big sales album, huge hit, out of charts hit, a scandal, a controversy, tours tours tours and movie/s. i dont know why but after MDNA (which tour was great) i feel we are going to get a great success album when everyone will nonstop talking about her....like it happened with coadf or before with rol or before with lap or before with tb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbatal Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Her peaks commercially not always are at the same time as her peak as a LEGEND. So i conclude that she's been on a peak since 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnino Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I believe she had four peaks so far: 1985/86 - Four #1's hits in America, biggest album of her career in America, media overexposure, wannabes, tabloid wedding, Poison Penns, SNL, DSS, Macy's Madonnaland... she WAS 1985. TB became her best selling album in the world at the time,she was played constantly on the radio. 1990/91 - Fresh off the most talked about tour of the past year (Blond Ambition), her biggest #1 single worldwide up to that time (Vogue) and a hit movie (Dick Tracy), she is banned by MTV, hits #1 with JML, sells a ton of copies of TIC, JML the video-single becomes a best seller, releases TOD which becomes the highest grossing documentary at the time, goes to the Oscars with MJ to have her rendition of SOL win an Oscar for Stephen Sondheim, graces the cover of The Advocate (which became news all over the world) and what to me is the peak of that era, this performance becomes eternal: Which is probably her most watched performance ever worldwide (Super Bowl is not a worldwide event). 1998/99 - Her re-birth, the acclaim, the recognition of her talents (finally), motherhood, the Grammys, the first VMA video of the year, the media is in love with her again. 2005/2006 - COADF was her last peak so far (IMHO) and a minor one since the US wasn't along for the ride. But she was played everywhere else and sold a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need to say anymore. This is perfect.Though I sometimes consider 2005-2006 as one too, maybe a minor one. But the global success of HU and COAD was a pretty amazing feat.

nick00 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 It always seemed like in the US that it was LAV era, TB, & LAP albums & BA tour. Agree that she was receiving so much publicity around Erotica/Sex that it felt like one of her peaks. I think in several parts of Europe ROL was definitely one of her peak periods, but not sure if it competes with M early success there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
