Definitive guide to more than three decades of dance-pop anthems, confessional ballads and boundary-breaking self-expression. Madonna's songs have been breaking boundaries for more than three decades.
The stories behind Madonna's songs reveal the evolution of the only artist in the world who's equally at home in the club, in the church and on the catwalk; there are psychosexual dramas, disco reveries, tear-jerking ballads and pop songs that unite the globe – all by an artist who has never risked making the same album twice. "I don't think about my old stuff," she told Rolling Stone in 2015. "I just move forward." Madonna is as restless as she is relentlessly imaginative – and we just can't look away.
