Welcome to the Madonna countdown. There have been quite a few Madonna countdowns lately, so I'll attempt to make this one a bit different. There will be no commentary because, unlike Prince, Madonna's achievements are well known over here. Although it will be a song countdown, there will be plenty of photos and links to live performances (instead of videos), although I'll try to include only live performances of versions of the songs close to the versions charting. For example, if you click the pictures above and below, you can see two great Madonna performances of a song which did not make it into the Top 100 (although if it was a performance countdown they would both rank pretty high with the second one in particular being in the Top 5). As always some of Madonna's biggest hits will be low or absent because I consider them overplayed
So the countdown starts later today with an album track
