If You Could Release An Extra Single From Each Album... Which would you like to have seen used as a single ???? for me..

MADONNA = PHYSICAL ATTRACTION
LIKE A VIRGIN = STAY
TRUE BLUE = WHITE HEAT
LIKE A PRAYER = TIL DEATH DO US PART
EROTICA = WHY'S IT SO HARD (would have been a hit for her)
BEDTIME STORIES = FORBIDDEN LOVE (would have been a hit for her after Take a Bow)
RAY OF LIGHT = SWIM
MUSIC = IMPRESSIVE INSTANT
AMERICAN LIFE = INTERVENTION
CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR = PUSH
HARD CANDY = DEVIL WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU

[Dkavtbek]

MADONNA = PHYSICAL ATTRACTION
LIKE A VIRGIN = LOVE DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE
TRUE BLUE = WHITE HEAT
LIKE A PRAYER = SPANISH EYES
EROTICA = WAITING
BEDTIME STORIES = I'D RATHER BE YOUR LOVER
RAY OF LIGHT = SKIN
MUSIC = IMPRESSIVE INSTANT
AMERICAN LIFE = I don't know. The promotion was so fucked up that it wouldn't make any difference. But I would have loved to have Nobody Knows Me released as a proper single and with a proper video.
CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR = None.
HARD CANDY = None.

I actually change mine a bit after I saw yours. I think you're right, Love Don't Live Here Anymore and Spanish Eyes is actually what I would like to choose.
You're also right about the American Life album. The artwork and first single / video we're not really a good representation of the actual album. I think promo got fucked up after Hollywood tanked. The Remixed and Revisited EP was a bit weird, except, I actually kind of like Your Honesty It's my favorite song from the whole era lol

[Fouttysotlalf]

LIKE A PRAYER = PROMISE TO TRY
EROTICA = WORDS
BEDTIME STORIES = INSIDE OF ME
RAY OF LIGHT = SKIN
MUSIC = IMPRESSIVE INSTANT
AMERICAN LIFE = X-STATIC PROCESS
CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR = LET IT WILL BE.
HARD CANDY = SHE S NOT ME (edited)

[CuittisIL]

MADONNA - Think of Me
LIKE A VIRGIN - Love Don't Live Here Anymore (it could have helped changed how people perceived her as an artist, especially since it was early in her career)
TRUE BLUE - White Heat
LIKE A PRAYER - Till Death Do Us Part
EROTICA - Thief of Hearts
BEDTIME STORIES - Forbidden Love
RAY OF LIGHT - Swim
MUSIC - Impressive Instant
AMERICAN LIFE - Mother and Father
CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR - Isaac
HARD CANDY - ugh... just make Miles Away a better single. It didn't get the attention it should have.

Great thread.

I'm mixing mine up between songs that would have been great to release because they might have been hits, and songs that are just generally awesome.

Madonna--Nothing that seems like single material to me
Like a Virgin--Over and Over (not officially a single, but I think it could have made a good one)
True Blue--None. Ugh. Everything that wasn't a single on this album was AWFUL.
Like a Prayer--Til Death Do Us Part. This would be a selfish choice though, since I like it so much. It wouldn't have charted well.
I'm Breathless--Sooner or Later
Erotica--Waiting
Bedtime Stories--I think "Survival" would have been a hit, and I like the song. "Forbidden Love," too, but I'll go with "Survival."
Ray of Light--To Have and Not to Hold. I love this song and think it would have charted respectably.
Music--Impressive Instant! Duh!
American Life--Intervention. Call me weird, but not only would I have this as a single ... I'd have released it as the first single.
COAD--Forbidden Love
Hard Candy--Beat Goes On. Totally would have been a hit--a missed opportunity.

[Ubgvuncd]

True Blue - Where's The Party
The only choice really. Maybe White Heat (I don't hate it at all, in fact it's the only album track I don't find mediocre-awful). But WTP would have done well on the charts.
Like A Prayer - Pray for Spanish Eyes
Though I think Keep It Together was pushing the single releases anyway, not a great radio choice. Thought it did decently in the chats did it not?
Erotica - Waiting
My favourite on the album! And I think the only other possibly single choice. Ugh would've loved an Erotica-era video for this...
Bedtime Stories - Forbidden Love
Survival is upbeat and the most obvious choice maybe but I'd love for another of her ballads to have been released.
Ray Of Light - Little Star
Not my fave at all, but I see this being a single above some of the more challening cuts on the album. I don't think Sky Fits Heaven or Swim are radio-friendly enough.
Music - Gone
Again Impressive Instant sticks out, but I would've loved if one of her 'guitar' songs were released. And this is a nice one.
American Life - Nothing Fails
Yeah it was a single, but it wasn't *really*. It was released to clubs in remix form or something. I LOVE this, and I imagine with an epic (but down to earth, kinda normal looking M, like Music era) video, choir and all, would've been brilliant. Lovely song.
Confessions - Let It Will Be
Or Forbidden Love, but this is kinda catchy.
Hard Candy - Beat Goes On
I was tempted to say Devil to show a slightly different side to the album but I think BGO is the more obvious choice.
