Why does everyone always say "Madonna has 2891 classics" "If Madonna doesn't have a classic, then nobody does!".

What song does she have that everyone including 10 years old know? Hear all the time? All this talk, no proof.

It's hard to prove a lie, bae.

We Belong Together = 100 million views

All I Want = 100 million views

If you add up 4 of Madonna's biggest "classic" hits their views, they still don't compete with Godriah.

I hope Brooklyn Baby gets single treatment. Actually I hope this is like the BTD era and she delivers a lot of visuals regardless of commercial success.

I could also see Old Money getting the Beatport Remix treatment

Yes yes yes yes yes.
Ultraviolence is so much better than Born to Die too. She gets so much better with each and every release.
If Lana makes it super big she will be a true legend not merely an icon.

Legends who have classics that will always be remembered, everyone age 60 to 10 years old knows and hears often.


Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas Is You
Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You
Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Elton John - Circle of Life

Madonna - N/A

The difference between a Legend and a Fad.

You never learn do you?

Holiday
Like a Virgin
Material Girl
Papa Don't Preach
La Isla Bonita
Like a Prayer
Vogue
Music

And many more! You could argue practically every other single she released in the 80s is a classic, during Born This Way-gate "Express Yourself" was widely referred to as a classic.

Why is pandering to the Kidz Bop demographic seen as such an accomplishment?

The invitation of Beyonce then Bruno tremendously trivialized the SB halftime show.

what about Rihanna's SB halftime? Oh right...she wasn't invited.

[Whatevaaaaa]

In the Closet by Michael is also the best song ever!

Um if you think a portion of 10 year olds recognize any of those.

Well, yeah but I just said that it wasn't a bragging right anymore, so I'm not really seeing your point.

[Nialler]

I can agree with someone who claims that MJ's classics are bigger than Madonna's but to say that Elton is more remembered?

Hung Up is a classic in Europe. Here nobody knows of a Mariah Carey song, except the Christmas one which they don't know she sings anyway.

MJ's classics are undeniably much BIGGER than Madonna's.

& I'm dead serious right now.

not before he was dead

[accelgors]

Get my name out of your mouth please. And I literally just posted a list of Madonna classics and Hung Up is not there It relies too heavily on the Gimme Gimme Gimme sample (a song with only 5 million views, I guess it's not a classic either?!?!) to really be a classic, and 9 years is too soon anyway for it to be viewed as such. The future will tell.

The way when you hate Mariah you're still forced to admit AIWFCIY remains a bigger classic.

BEP performed at the Superbowl, so it has never been that prestigious anyway.

!!! And I'm pretty sure most tweens can't name an Elton John/Cher/Cyndi Lauper song either so what's the root of this discussion anyway?

And who the **** gives a **** what 10 year olds listen to? You're only really aware of pop culture from 6-7 onwards, 3 years of very limited, controlled exposure to the world and you want to use that to determine what is a classic How many 10 year olds do you think know what a Mariah is
