The essential party one. Yes, it's a greatest hits album, but pop is defined by the instant gratification of singles and this phenomenal collection is Madonna's best selling album. It showcases all her hits from the froth of 1983's Holiday to 1990's Vogue and features two songs you can't find anywhere else: Justify my Love (the insistent, sexy trance track she wrote with Lenny Kravitz) and then the confessional Rescue Me: a song which saw the diva reach out directly to fans, pleading for the love and attention she needs. "You see that I'm ferocious, you see that I am weak/ You see that I am silly, and pretentious and a freak," she acknowledged, before reminding us of her inspirational grit. All she needs the rest of the world to do is "stop me from drowning." She'll do the rest.
