22nd: RAIN :: 144 pts (6.2 av)
Erotica's only finalist. It peaked at #7 on the UK singles chart - only one other song in the final didn't make the Top 6.

21st: SORRY :: 146 pts (6.1 av)
The newest song to reach the final, having been released as a single in 2006. That leaves just one 21st century Madonna single in the Top 20.
I'm surprised it didn't do better, having come joint first in its heat.

19th: HOLIDAY :: 148 pts (6.2 av)
Here's the first shock of the final.
Madonna's first charting single, and her third best seller in Britain only comes in 19th. It's problem wasn't that people dislike it, it is simply that not many at Haven gave it really big points.

18th: YOU'LL SEE :: 149 pts (6.2 av)
The only track from Something To Remember. Nobody gave it 0 points, which makes it the second lowest placed track with that backhanded compliment. (Sorry also got no 0s).

17th: CRAZY FOR YOU :: 155 pts (6.5 av)
Madonna's Marmite track at Haven. Crazy For You received more 0s than any other track, and 6 scorers gave it their lowest mark, which makes it the joint least popular alongside Hollywood. But, in contrast, 8 people gave it 9 or 10 points. And all of that cancelled out, for 17th place overall.

16th: LA ISLA BONITA :: 156 pts (6.5 av)
True Blue contributes 4 tracks to the Final - more than any other album. La Isla Bonita is the least popular of them.

15th: BORDERLINE :: 158 pts (6.6 av)
I'm very surprised that Borderline outscored Holiday, and is Haven's favourite single from her debut LP.

14th: OPEN YOUR HEART :: 159 pts (6.6 av)
Another True Blue single, this track only finished 6th in its Heat, but qualified for the Final via the Lucky Losers Semi-Final. Nonetheless, it sees off 10 singles which reached the Final at the first attempt.

13th: OH FATHER :: 160 pts (6.7 av)
The worst selling track to reach the Final, being well outside Madonna's All-Time Top 50 (as is Hollywood). It is also the only single to have reached the Final and not made the UK Top 10, peaking at #16 in 1996.
It finished 1 place ahead of Open Your Heart in the 4th Heat, 1 place ahead of Open Your Heart in the Lucky Losers Semi-Final, and 1 place ahead of Open Your Heart in the Final.

12th: HUNG UP :: 164 pts (6.8 av)
We're into the top half, and here is a track I had expected to do much better. It is Haven's favourite Madonna single from the 21st century.

11th: BEAUTIFUL STRANGER :: 165 pts (6.9 av)
Haven's second favourite Madonna single from a film (Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me). This didn't do better because nobody really loves it; Beautiful Stranger only picked up one 10 point score.

10th: VOGUE :: 166 pts (6.9 av) I suspect many people might have predicted this would end up on the podium, especially having won its Heat. It is Haven's favourite Madonna soundtrack single (from I'm Breathless).

9th: THE POWER OF GOODBYE :: 167 pts (7.0 av) Ray Of Light contributes 3 singles to Haven's Madonna Top 10. The Power Of Goodbye is Haven's favourite Madonna release not to have reached the UK Top 3, peaking at #6 in December 1998. This also makes it Madonna's most recent single to make the Haven Top 10.

8th: LIKE A VIRGIN :: 169 pts (7.0 av) Here's another single that I had expected to be a contender for the Top 3. It is her 2nd best selling UK single, but is only Haven's 3rd favourite single from the Like A Virgin album.

7th: RAY OF LIGHT :: 177 pts (7.4 av) Only 14 points separated 8th from 17th place. But there is a quite a jump from 8th to 7th. Ray Of Light only finished 3rd in its Heat, and it scored 0 points from 2 people, which was the joint highest number alongside Crazy For You. But despite these impediments, it still came through to finish 7th overall.

6th: MATERIAL GIRL :: 178 pts (7.4 av) Here's another surprise (to me). I had no idea Material Girl was such a popular single. It is the best placed on the Haven countdown not to peak at #1 or #2, and it is only her 16th best seller in the UK. But here at Haven it is Madonna's 6th favourite single.

5th: PAPA DON'T PREACH :: 179 pts (7.5 av) It finished second in the second Heat, and it is the second most popular track from the True Blue album. The UK's 5th best selling Madonna single is also Haven's 5th most liked.

4th: LIVE TO TELL :: 185 pts (7.7 av) Live To Tell missed out on the podium by just one point. I did say every vote would count. It received 10 points from 8 people, which ranks it third by that statistic. It is the most popular at Haven from the True Blue album. And it is the most popular Madonna single not to have reached #1 in the UK. Given it is only the 23rd best selling Madonna single in the UK, it is fair to say that Haven's love for Live To Tell is disproportionately strong compared to the nation as a whole.
