    This album was definitely a legit. This song included many of Madonna's hits, and all of the songs are very incredible. This album also reminds me of The Immaculate Collection. That album like my life anthem. The point it, I LOVE THAT ALBUM

    Another good trama for Madonna, close the decade of 2000's with a full collection of her greatest hits since 1982.

    The result: SUCCESS!

    It's stange this album wasn't long enough to include even all of Madonna's RIAA and BPI-certified singles from her two biggest markets, US and UK. And again, this arrogant cover. Her fans are not 90% gays. C'mon! Bring Madonna back to simple folk like IT!

    Perfect Legend album with legendary songs. This album can be listened to without tiring. With him going through personal problems Madonna and compares them with his own, and in some moments you smile, remember the good moments. Each person has a moment in life that is associated with the songs of Madonna.
    It is unfortunate for many (but not for me) that Madonna has begun in this

    A comprehensive collection of Madonna's best songs. In addition, there are two new tracks - "Revolver" and "Celebration". The new material is equally fantastic. "Celebration" infact was nominated for a Grammy in the category "Best Dance Recording" where she is the most nominated artist.

    A great compilation from an iconic artist. The only reason I don't give this album a perfect 10 is its exclusion of tracks such as "True Blue", "Jump" and "Give it 2 Me".

    A collection of the best hits of Madonna just might be something perfect, Madonna proved the most interesting pop singer of recent years, call her ''Queen of Pop'' is not overstate her, your title is great his great contribution to pop culture. ''Vogue'', ''Like A Prayer'', ''Express Yourself'' and ''Ray of Light'' are great achievements in pop music.

    I'm sure that stans will die for this record. Madonna did a genius move by releasing her iconic past singes and added to 'em two new songs. "Celebration" and "Revolver" Everybody will love it. The essential album of the year.

(and counting) she is undoubtedly the QUEEN OF POP every song is a 5/5 and

    Great compilation album. Only purchase the 2 DISC VERSION if you are going to buy it because you get cheated if you only buy the 1 disc version. Covers pretty much all the highlights of Madonna's career so far and includes 2 new tracks "Celebration" and "Revolver feat. Lil Wayne" A must have!

    Some might look at this as a business opportunity for Madonna. It might be, but it's actually good, as you get tracks which aren't on her studio albums. For example, if you do not own The Immaculate Collection, you'll have Justify My Love. Other tracks like Vogue, Who's That Girl, Crazy for You and Beautiful Stranger are also tracks which do not appear on studio albums, so it's always goodSome might look at this as a business opportunity for Madonna.

Other tracks like Vogue, Who's That Girl, Crazy for You and Beautiful Stranger are also tracks which do not appear on studio albums, so it's always good to have them all in one (although I would recommend I'm Breathless). Another good addition is Into the Groove since, as I'm sure most of you are aware, it was left out of the remastered version of Like a Virgin, which is very frustrating, as it is one of her best tracks in my opinion. So, basically, it's a good CD is you want tracks like those mentioned all in one CD, instead of purchasing CDs for one song. Apart from that, the title track and Revolver are addictive Expand

    Caution to Madonna fans: there are several glaring omissions from this greatest hits album, while there are several questionable inclusions, like "Hollywood". One of the two new tracks, "Celebration", is not groundbreaking enough for the Queen of Pop. However, this is a fairly solid compilation. I just would have substituted some of the tracks for others that were left out.

    I sit firmly on the fence with this one. Madonna truly is a gifted singer and songwriter but I just don't understand her or the record company. Sure, they both want to cash in on her final release for Warner Brothers. No problem with that, but why repeat a whole load of songs already found on Immaculate collection, GHV2 and Something to remember.

    How could a collection of well over 30 pop classics from the past three decades receive anything but 10/10? Most artists would kill to have even half that number to include on a Greatest Hits compilation, yet Madonna would have needed to double the number of tracks on this collection to include all of her worldwide hits. Kudos to one of the most outstanding performers of all time.

  1. The collection does a fine job of living up to the title--it's certainly a celebration of Madonna's career and includes some of the most celebratory and thrilling pop music ever created.
  2. Superfans may well die happy with this much concentrated Madge-estry: 36 tracks covering nearly every phase of her 25-year career. It all holds up surprisingly well.
  3. It's a dizzying, nonchronological spin through the Madonna years, years it makes you feel lucky to be living through.
