It is time for Haven to select its favourite Madonna single. And that's not going to be an easy task.
Here's how it works:- (1) I have included every Madonna single/track that has reached the Top 100, including the 3 tracks where she shares a credit with one or more other artists. (2) Each song only appears once, even it has charted separately in a remixed or imported version. (3) The one official AA-side single has been split into two, in case you like one side but not the other. (4) This gives us 71 tracks. I have numbered them from 1-71 in chronological order. (5) If any further tracks make the Top 100 in the next 4 weeks, they will be added to the list. (6) There will be 5 elimination rounds, each containing 14 or 15 tracks. (7) The first elimination round contains Madonna's 1st, 6th, 11th, 16th, etc. singles. The second contains her 2nd, 7th, 12th, 17th, etc, singles, and so on. (8) You have 4 votes per round. (9) The 4 singles/tracks with the most votes in each round go through to the final. (10) The singles/tracks which finish 5th and 6th in each elimination round will go through to a lucky losers semi-final. This will contain approximately 10 tracks. You will have a chance to vote on these, with another 2 going through to the final. (11) The final will therefore contain about 22 singles/tracks. The final will be a rate, where you give each song a score between 0 and 10. (12) In the event of tied positions, (e.g. two records finishing 4th equal), I will decide how many to put through to the final or the lucky losers semi-final. (13) Each round will last just one week, so don't spend too long prevaricating. (14) If you don't know some of the songs, I'm afraid you'll have top seek them out yourself. I don't have enough time to post links for everything.
Round 3 is up. Voting closes at midnight on Sunday 19th April.
And remember, this is just for fun. So don't get too personal about Madonna or her fans; and if you are a fan, don't take any comments and votes too seriously.

Voted for 4...some absolute classics there (and a couple of duds!) Had no idea that Little Star had been released as a single.

Vogue and Dont tell me are my faves on that list, and some of my faves of hers of alltime, not sure I'll vote for anything else.

This is the only round where I've voted for 4... and could easily have voted 5. Had to leave out a vote for "Erotica", which is great but didn't quite make top 4.

It's a weak round for me.

This forgotten (?) gem may need a bit of plugging...

I reckon one of them will have a runaway win this round.

Quite a weak set this time, I think. Looking at what's left for Rounds 4 and 5 (especially round 5), I see some tougher decisions looming in the next couple of weeks.

Voted for 4, two of which I can't imagine picking up many other votes.

Only 2 of my 4 got through... I think.
The others I voted for were Another Suitcase and Angel.
