"Was it a big song?" This is Madonna. Almost every single song of hers was a big song, tons of number 1s, and top 10s. She's the biggest selling female artist of all time with 400+ million record sales, beaten only by The Beatles, Elvis and Michael Jackson. And she's held this record for 25 years. For comparison, Taylor Swift is 200 million and Drake is 170 million.
Madonna is a chameleon artist, with each new album, a new look, a new attitude, a new sound and style. She never bores the public, she always reinvents herself and never ceases to surprise, it has been like this throughout her 40-year career.
This MADONNA song was sampled by a rapper a few years ago…. don’t sleep on Madonna she has many major hits even today… a lot of them aren’t played on the radio … all Madonnas songs are big hits… maybe you should start from the beginning of her journey… watch her live tours and see how at her age she still sells out stadiums… did you see her recent tour in Rio ….
This was 1998, and it was a hit for sure... yes, she is still making music, and she just finished a sold out tour that ended in Rio de Janerio with 1.6 million in attendance. I saw the tour in Los Angeles 2 of the 5 nights and she was amazing. Her live performance videos are beyond. Yes, she paved the way for all the new artists. Great reactions, really enjoying it.
You’ll get a different Madonna every time. Like you said, she portrays life. Some facades are either loved or hated, but she’s gonna keep showing them whether you like them or not. 👍
This album was monumental for her career and finally saw her get respect from all the critics and haters and nabbed her four Grammy’s, which she had previously only won for technical categories.This came out in 98’ and yes, Madonna is still making music as of 2023, and just ended her latest world tour with a single attendance record of 1.6-2million people, the most by any single artist.
Ray of light, the album this is from sold over 16m copies, it had the biggest first week sales by a female artist at the time. It was nominated for six Grammys and won four. Yes dude this was a big song.
Oh yes, Madonna is still making music and touring. In fact she just finished her latest sold out world tour, celebrating her 40 year career. This came out in 1998 and was the first single of one of her best albums 'Ray of Light". She received many awards for this. She is evolving all the time, Oh Father and Frozen are 10 years apart, so yes it is completely different. Imagine this song is 26 years old and still sounds fresh. Madonna is more than just another popstar, she is a performance artist, her live shows are where you see why she is the Queen of Pop. She paved the way for most female popstars today. She broke all the rules with her controversial video's and shows.
From her 1998 masterpiece album 'Ray of Light,' this song is one of many on the album that take you on a spiritual journey. She was just getting started for her amazing artistic output throughtout the 2000. Her most recent album is 'Madame X' (2019), and she just completed her 'Celebration World Tour' (81+ shows) which capped off with a free concert in Brazile with 1.6 million attendees.
This was released on February 1998, it was a huge hit! It was one of her "Renassaince". She has been pretty active since 1982, her last studio album was released in 2019. In May she has performed in Rio de Janeiro's beach, Brazil, for an audience of almost 2 million people. She's the most successful female recording artist in music history! The Queen of Pop.
been a fan since I was 5yo when she came out but I got into her 90's and beyond music more than the 80s because it really showed her creativity and versitility as an artist. This was 1998. There is always substance and a reason behind everything you see in her videos/live shows. She's an actual artist who's medium happens to be pop music. One video might be a depitction of a real story the next might be visually relating the song to a famous painting or in homage to an artist she is inspired by.
Chris Cunningham, the director of the music video, was an absolute visionary. His videos were extremely well designed and high quality. He did some great horror stuff and all of it has a similar amazing, super high quality look about it.
She released this music video 26 years ago in 1998. She released a remix version in 2022 featuring Sickick. Yes, she’s still releasing new video singles: in 2022 she collaborated with Beyoncé for the video of Break My Soul/Vogue (the Queens’ Remix); then in 2023 she collaborated with The Weeknd and Playboi Carti for the hit-Popular. Earlier this year, she completed her Celebration World Tour-her 12th in the last 40 years.
Wait till you watch the video for ‘Human Nature’ , which was released in 1994 - THIRTY YEARS AGO - yet it looks very current today. It’s probably one of the greatest ‘fuck you’ songs ever made. It was her response to all the people who wanted to cancel her because she dared to own her sexuality and power.
Dude. Madonna is still making music, she just had a number one single this year with the Weekend. Also this year, 2024, she set a record for the largest stand alone concert in the history of music when 1.6 million people came to her concert in Rio de Janerio. Still achieving, bigger than ever, 40 years into her career.
Don´t tell me you did´nt know Madonna's still making music!!!??? She just finished her latest world tour this summer, with the largest concert ever staged at Copacabana Beach, attended by an audience of 1.6 milion people!!!! I mean, it made headlines all over the world!!!
MADONNA is HISTORY! SHES THE ONLY ONE! so Much to tell you about the ICON! Love your Madonna reactions! Started following you because of your Madonna reactions ❤ Keep it up So so so so much for you to see And get inspired and be revolutionized! By the only 1 artist!
This was #2 in the United States and #1 in the United Kingdom at the time in 1998. A global super hit. Madonna doesn't get the props she deserves these days but she was always ahead of times. She has an endless catalogue of classic hits and she's still doing new music.
This is one of her many re-inventions from 1998 and was world-wide hit. From girlie pop in the early 80ies to mature pop in the late 80ies, House and R&B in the early 90ies to ballads and Musical in mid 90ies and electronic music in the late 90ies. Starting the 2000s with dance-pop-country-folk-electronica fusions and by the mid 2000s a return to dance-pop. In the late 2000s urban music and since 2012 here records lacked somewhat of cohesion, but her last one Madame X from 2018 was "world music" heavily influenced from the time when she lived in Portugal. Her music is as her videos quite divers and one of the reasons for her success. Her success faded (by Madonna standards) when ageism has started to affect her around 2012 when radio stations didn't play her music anymore. The US gave her in general a hard time when she released the songs/videos for "Justify my Love" (1990) and "Erotica" (1992 (+ her infamous SEX book) and when she released the Director's Cut video for "American Life" (2003) criticising war (the US were at war in Iraq at this time) she was considered as non-patriotic and she and her familiy received death threats and conservative radio-stations didn't play her music at all. So for the first time ever in her entire career she withdraw a video.
OMG,.. either the edible kicked in or did I..being a huge Madonna fan for years... realize that Frozen is the lyrical successor to Open Your Heart! Thats why it came on after she performed Frozen on the Drowned World Tour!!!
Hello, I just want to add that as far as some Madonna's videos, such as "Like a prayer" & "Papa don't preach" were very controversial at the time, Madonna received backlash from The Vatican and Catholic churches for example since it was to believe Madonna was telling the Pope not to preach( Pope in Latin is pronounce "Papa" ( also a Priest at that time release a music video dedicated directly to Madonna with the lyrics changed to Madonna don't preach as the priest appears looking directly at the camera and pointing his index finger to Madonna. The other controversial song/ video was " Like a Prayer " since the she addressed issues that were never addressed before, such as the burning crosses, and racism by the police department and society assuming that the killer was the guy beside the victim in an attempt to help the victim but because he was black he got arrested and taken to prison. Also the kiss between Madonna and the actor caused controversy as well, because of people in 1989 were watching a music video on rotation between a white woman & a black man. Another controversy surrounded this this song was the Madonna was signed into a contract with Pepsi Cola, making her and Michael Jackson the only big stars to be signed for a commercial by the Pepsi cola company. The commercial was filmed using Like a Prayer song the main focus of this commercial but due to controversy nature of the song and music video but before the commercial was Aired because of the music video content and the controversy surrounding it, Pepsi decided to pull the plug & cancel the commercial, so it never was released. But Madonna got to keep the millions of dollars she was given by Pepsi in advance.
Suggestions for more Madonna videos to try: I’ll Remember, Sooner or Later (Live) Oscars 1990, Live to Tell, Music, Erotica, God Control and American Life (uncensored version)
as an artist, Madonna has always been championing artist, musicians, dancers , collaborators in the LGBT community and minorities, especially African Americans. As an innovator, she collaborated with cutting-edge artists worldwide. Thanks to her, pop music reached new heights, particularly in her legendary concerts. She keeps on re-inventing herself, her music, her style.
it came out in 1998. it was the lead single for the Ray Of Light album. yes it was a huge song, reached #2 on billboard (got stuck there... shes had that happen too many damn times over the years!) & reinvented her whole persona. like every other new Madonna album, it was a new era & one of her biggest. this was 16 yrs into her career.. she was 40 here. if you want to se the latest Madonna work, check out her song with the weeknd & (ugh) playboi carti. called "popular", it came out twice in the last year & its a banger. & fyi... shes 65 in it. boom!
Yes frozen was a massive hit and the album ray of light was critically acclaimed. Check out the frozen remix that came out a couple of years ago it was absolutely massive! Madonna vs Sickick and fireboy. More recently she has collaborated with maluma and swae Lee and the weekend playboy carti. Definitely keep checking out her big hits from that list that I recommended. Even listening to those songs you will still just be scratching the surface of her back catalogue! Can't imagine how you will react to her racy stuff leave those till a bit later but definitely do justify my love and erotica video. Then you will see how she paved the way for other female artists to be sexual. She even released a book called Sex and around that time had that time got so much abuse from the media. Then she did the movie Evita and the song Don't Cry for Me Argentina that's how completely random and unpredictable she is and that's why I love her ❤ I have a feeling when you react to her songs you will enjoy the up tempo stuff but you will particularly like the ballads.
The junk, schmaltzy stuff people love so much from the likes of Celine-Whitney-Mariah are unbelievably BAD compared to what Madonna wrote and sung and produced, that people in 2024 are wondering if the masterpiece that is "Frozen" was ever a big song. Madonna is clearly in a league of her own. Her standard is too high for pop music in general, it's almost like she belongs to another galaxy that is far more sophisticated than ours
Ghostown is a great song as well you might recognise the actor in it. There's also a really nice album track called promise to try which is about her mother
Yes this was a big hit and they kept coming. This was about 7 albums ago and they all turned out huge hits (well except for maybe Madame X). To see some of her evolutionary stages since Frozen check out Jump and Hung Up.
Great reaction - keep them coming! You should react to Ray of Light next... it was the next single release from the same album as Frozen and couldn't be more different visually! It shows you the versatility of her artistry.
Honestly, videos pre 2008 had lots more money poured into them because they were actually watched on MTV and VH1 on a regular basis. It sold albums. I feel like videos since are generally pretty lazy compared to the late 90’s /early 2000’s.
If you want a really confusing but visually stunning video, check out Bedtime Story by Madonna, perhaps the most visually stunning music video ever made.
Ok ok...when I first saw your very first reaction to this incredibly artist. Im going to be honest..I hated it and I disliked your lack of knowledge. I also said I would not give you any more of my time watching your reactions. However, you are changing my view of you. I can see you are actually trying to understand her videos. You are grasping how amazing and talented MADONNA is, and why we defend her from people that have no clue to what they are saying. We all know MADONNA is outstanding and wish the newer generation would too.
Hello, the song is from 1998, but not long ago Sickck recreated a remix Frozen on Fire and given the success 2 other versions came out, one with Fireboy and one with 070shake
