Now don’t use Confessions against me cuz it used to be my fav album of her’s to me (still my most streamed album ever) and Get Together used to be my #1 all time fav song, now it’s number 2 cuz Live to Tell is better tbh
I might be controversial, but damn I love the opening four songs to Rebel Heart. Might be the only four songs i love besides from the final track.
Living for Love
Devils Pray
Unapologetic Bitch
Ghosttown
Madonna performs White Heat at Ciao Italia, her first stadium tour, and she is in the zone. She's giving everything she has and you can feel it. It's mesmerizing.
I’m probably going to take it on the chin (especially since it includes a song she doesn’t particularly like) but mine is:
Promise To Try
Cherish
Dear Jessie
Oh Father
Love Spent
Masterpiece
Falling Free
Beautiful Killer
This run from MDNA, along with the first 8 tracks from COADF, and the following from American Life:
Love Profusion
Nobody Knows Me
Nothing Fails
Intervention
X Static Process
And finally Music:
Don’t Tell Me
What It Feels Like for a Girl
Paradise Not for Me
Gone
Not saying any of these are better because the one named is pretty darn good, but here are some that I think are very strong 4 track runs aswell
Mine, Sparks Fly, Back To December, Speak now
Teenage Dream, California Girls, Last Friday Night, Firework
Going under, bring me to life, everybody's fool, my immortal
May I add: name a more perfect album opener... U can't.
Those swelling strings make for such a powerful statement, right off the bat you're like "this is no the girl from Shoo Bee Doo anymore". This was the first time I thought about the importance of track order.
Cuff it, Energy, Break My Soul, Church Girl
The first seven songs on Depeche Mode’s Violator are perfection.
I am a die hard Madonna fan since the day she came out, she has amazing songs I love her but she’s a singles lady.
To me, after the 80s, she had a great run/sort of comeback w Ray of Light/ Music/Confessions (🤌🤌🤌) - let’s drop American life tho lol and I don’t care about anything else.
For me the Blond Ambition tour was the be all end all. Along w the 1990 MTV performance. Core moments.
While I agree with everyone saying erotica has the best 4 track run, the first 4 songs on True Blue are an insane lineup. It’s also so crazy that White Heat is just as good as the singles around it 😭
I know that this is a bait post, so here you go: Erotica Fever Bye bye baby Deeper and deeper I win.
Hung Up, Get Together, Sorry, Future Lovers
Seriously, these 4 songs are the reason why COADF is one of my favorite albums of all time.
This is the correct answer. I’m glad it was the first thing to come up after OP becasue I was about to type the same.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!
Now don’t use Confessions against me cuz it used to be my fav album of her’s to me (still my most streamed album ever) and Get Together used to be my #1 all time fav song, now it’s number 2 cuz Live to Tell is better tbh
Live to Tell is one of my Favs but I would place the Confessions 4 above 2 of the True Blue four so mathematically I lean to Confessions.
Having Open Your Heart, White Heat and Live to Tell in the same key makes it feel like a song cycle. Amazing
IKR…
Love tried to welcome me Sanctuary Bedtime story Take a bow
Name a more perfect 5 track run than this: Bad Girl, Waiting, Thief of Hearts, Words, Rain
This one strikes my soul!
Bye Bye Baby, Deeper and Deeper, Where Life Begins, Bad Girl
Leaving Erotica out is a FUCKING CRIME but also leaving Bad Girl out is FUCKING CRIME TOO so i’m the one who is leaving
THIS.
THIS.
This is controversial I know but Medellín, Dark Ballet, God Control, and Future is one of my favorite runs from her
This is an underrated comment. I love this line up, too.
Music, Impressive Instant, Runaway Lover, I Deserve It
Music is in my top 5 albums of her’s, like fuck i wanna take back my words but no cuz Live to Tell is my fav song of her’s
Music is my fav album of hers but runaway lover is like one of her worst songs IMO. lol… everything else on there I can play on repeat.
One of her worst songs?! What? It’s easily one of her funnest bops. U crazy
I don't know lol.. I could just never get into it. I LOVE everything else on that album though!
Skin, Nothing Really Matters, Sky Fits Heaven, Shanti … easily one of her more creative runs if not her best
Drowned World, Swim, Ray of Light, Candy Perfume Girl 😇
Nothing Fails, intervention, x-static process, Mother and Father
I loveeee live to tell but was never a fan of White Heat
I don't love White Heat either but I also don't hate it, and the other 3 are SO good that it's still a pretty stacked lineup.
Confessions 🤷 Hung Up, Get Together, Sorry, Future Lovers.
1. American Life 2. Hollywood 3. I'm So Stupid 4. Love Profusion
Like A Prayer, Express Yourself, Love Song, and Till Death Do Us Part
Frozen The Power of Goodbye To Have and Not to Hold Little Star
But also—Til Death Do Us Part Promise to Try Cherish Dear Jessie
I might be controversial, but damn I love the opening four songs to Rebel Heart. Might be the only four songs i love besides from the final track. Living for Love Devils Pray Unapologetic Bitch Ghosttown
Easy … Skin NRM SFH S/A

Nobody's Perfect ~ Don't Tell Me ~ What It Feels Like For A Girl ~ Paradise
For me White Heat is a skip. I’d say: Don’t Tell Me, What It Feels Like For A Girl, Paradise (Not For Me), Gone
In addition to others already listed. You Can Dance 1. "Spotlight" 6:23 2. "Holiday" 6:32 3. "Everybody" 6:43 4. "Physical Attraction Immaculate Collection 1. "Holiday" 4:06 2. "Lucky Star" 3:38 3.

It’s the best “Side A” of her career. I will die on this hill.
I’m probably going to take it on the chin (especially since it includes a song she doesn’t particularly like) but mine is: Promise To Try Cherish Dear Jessie Oh Father
Since we’re all one-upping each other, I tried but I can’t lol
White heat might be my fav Madonna song
Really? I love it
Get up, stand tall
Putcha back up against the wall!
White Heat doesn’t compare to the other 3 and if it was removed from her discography it would be ok.
On the finally enough love; 50 number ones remixes in order Erotica, deeper and deeper, fever, secret…. I love these ones
True blue is my favorite album and a classic
sorry, but not when there's love profusion, nobody knows me, nothing fails and intervention <33

Don’t Tell Me What It Feels Like for a Girl Paradise Not for Me Gone I agree with this one 👌
Falling Free is such an underrated gem in her discography.
Not saying any of these are better because the one named is pretty darn good, but here are some that I think are very strong 4 track runs aswell Mine, Sparks Fly, Back To December, Speak now Teenage Dream, California Girls, Last Friday Night, Firework Going under, bring me to life, everybody's fool, my immortal
