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 5 is up. Voting closes at midnight on Sunday 2nd May.
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.

For what its worth, I think this is easily the toughest of the 5 rounds.

Could have done with at least 8 votes - really torn between some of my favourite ballads and up-tempo songs.

My top2 Madonna songs ever are in this round. For that reason alone I am only voting for two - don't want to jeopardise anything by voting for any more.

Gah... "Dress You Up" scored low - that's like my ultimate Madonna song. I was surprised "Bad Girl" didn't get a slightly higher placing, but yeah tough round apparently.

Was hoping Dress You Up would have squeezed through. Think I overplayed Material Girl, not a big fan of it now.
I was the only one who voted for Girl Gone Wild, such a great dance song. Been listening to MDNA quite a lot recently, not keen at first but love it now.
