Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones (Deluxe 3CD)

This compilation was released to coincide with the 40th Anniversary of her debut single (Everybody), but it also acts as a companion piece to 2009's Greatest Hits album - except with a twist. It's an epic 50 track compilation bursting with 7" edits, and remixes that will leave you gasping for breath by the time it's over. From the moment you hear the opening melody of the first track, "Holiday" you will be instantly transported back to 1983 in a decade where teenage girls wore striped legwarmers, Boy George was the hottest act in pop music and breakdancing and BMX bicycles were taking the world by storm. A time of innocence and purity when most people will agree it was a magical decade where music simply couldn't get any better, but this was only the beginning, she went on to become an even bigger global force when she unleashed her Like a Virgin and True Blue albums, which was when the media crowned her the "Queen of Pop". In 1990, she released her mega-hit "Vogue", a song that set the world's dance floors alight and is still being played and influencing so many today. The version here cuts out the long intro and dives straight into it - which is a much better choice for this compilation. A lot of people don't know this but "Vogue" wasn't intended to be a single, it was supposed to be the B-Side to "Keep it Together" but Warner decided it was far to good and released it as a single. "Keep It Together" makes an appearance and couldn't be any different to how it's presented on the "Like a Prayer" album, plenty of thumping beats reminiscent of Soul to Soul's #1 hit, "Back to Life. "Justify My Love" is tweaked and made even sexier by William Orbit, who went on to produce her award winning "Ray of Light" album and turned out to be Madonna's biggest selling and critical acclaimed albums next to Like a Prayer. "Physical Attraction" is the "You Can Dance" version, but scaled down to 4 minutes and works much better on here. "Like a Prayer" sounds almost thunderous throughout the verses, and the choir combined with screaming guitars at the end are orgasmic. "Deeper and Deeper" is the same version Madonna sang on the Girlie Show, completely disco-fied, the organ provides a touch of warmth too. "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" is pure dance euphoria in the same vein as "Hung Up", "Frozen" and "Nothing Really Matters". In fact, this entire collection is easily the best thing she's releasing in a long time. I really don't think I've had this much fun in years. This is an album I'll be listening to for many years to come. It's amazing. What I find so special about it is it's currently performing very well on the global charts and I, (like the rest of her fans) didn't expect it to do as well as it has. It's already out peaked Lady Gaga and Dua Lipa's remix albums, and literally smashed Kylie Minogue's "Boombox" UK chart peak (#28) to smithereens. One reviewer finds it hysterical that UK band, "Steps" has beaten her to #1, but what they didn't tell you is that "Steps" released 20+ different variations of their album and been working themselves into the ground from signing the album covers and making regular appearances all over the UK to bag the #1. Madonna hasn't done any of that and her album is much more expensive. For instance, the 6LP set is £140, the 2 LP set is £40, and the 3 CD set is £19.99, so with all things considered Madonna is doing very well indeed. Not only has this album gone to number one in other territories, she's also broken three records on the Australian ARIA chart: 1)-The female artist with the most #1 albums in Australia (12). 2)-The first female artist to have a #1 album in Australia in 5 different decades. 3)-The first remix album EVER to reach #1 on the ARIA album chart On a side note, please don't fall into the trap of listening to the negative reviews written by fans of other less fortunate artists. There's a reason why they're trying to sabotage Madonna, so buy, listen and judge for yourself.

First of all lets address the few 1 star reviews... jealous Kylie or Gaga stans??? Most likely. Kylie is pretty much washed up flogging cheap wine and playing to sharia royalty in the Emirates where being fay is illegal, and Gaga is already a legacy act. Enough said. Second lets address the other issue. This is NOT a greatest hits compilation! Its a remix collection celebrating her dance hits in the US. Why cant some people grasp that fact?!?! I digress! Madonna's had a rough ride over the past decade, mainly curated by the media who've been itching to bring her down for decades. Well Madonna never gets involved with spats with her enemies directly, she merely lets the music do the talking, and boy does she serve!!!!! This collection whilst by no means complete (where is Causing a Commotion?!), is testament to her gargantuan impact on pop music and pop culture. From the underground new wave discos of New York to the UK's garage scene. Practically every genre of dance is represented here. By every DJ you knew and didnt know! Avicci, Shep Pettibone, Orbit, Junior Vasquez, Morales, the list is endless. Over 30 years since she debuted her first remix album You Can Dance, here we are dancing round our living rooms yet again!!! They're mainly edits of her favourite remixes of the hits that topped the US dance chart. 50 to be exact! And whilst some versions are a questionable addition (where is the Fever Edit one mix?!?!?!), the majority literally transport you back in time. Recent additions like the Offer Nissim Promo mix of Living For Love are a nice touch! That mix is the best from her in 10 years, then there is the video version of Open Your Heart with that incredible intro! Still, i would have liked to see the MTV award version of Vogue with that incredible bridge... but I'm just being picky here! Its an impeccable glimpse into her archive that she never really celebrates. So soak it up!!! It'll just make you want more from the biggest selling female artist of all time, and the one your fave looks up to

This album have 50 remixes from Madonna songs that reached #01 on Billboard US Dance Charts since 1984 until 2020! Most of these remixes are done by some of the biggest DJ's that ever existed! They were almost all as big dance hits in Europe as they were in US! I remember that some of these versions were even pretty much played on dance radios and some even had remix videos played on MTV Dance as well! Most 80's songs are only slighly remixed (most versions are even the same as video or radio edit versions) but as the 90's start most songs have faster than the original versions. Most of these songs were also mainstream hits (some even were ballads in the original version) but to me these are superior versions. This collection shows the dance music evolution style and sub-genre history from early 80's until 2020 and give us some amazing songs Madonna popularized on the dancefloors along the way too. Being a Dance Music and Pop Music lover since the late 80's / early 90's I have to say that "Finally Enough Love: 50 number ones" is one of the best albums I have ever ordered! Probably even the best CD I own in a collection that have almost 2.000 CDs - to me there are no skips on this 3CDs collection (it's boop after boop). Even her 2010's songs that some people may not know as well (despite being huge dance hits in both US and Europe) have amazing remixes (and for most of them I even prefer these remix versions to the original album versions that were released)!

I was surprised at how much I enjoy having this on shuffle and it has some great mixes on it and the remastering is pristine. The only thing missing is the Silver Screen mix of Causing A Commotion. It seems odd that the included the remastered album versions of Like A Virgin and Material Girl and referred to them as single mixes when they're identical to the album version. The single edit of Holiday got me thinking that a three-disc, definitive compilation of all Madonna's singles as they were released (remixes, edits etc.) is long overdue. Disc 1 to cover 1982-1989; 2, 1990-1999, and 3, 2000-2009. However, given her return to Warner Bros to celebrate her legacy has failed to deliver anniversary releases of her sterling catalogue of work for the first three decades of her career, we'll probably get a repackaging of the shoddily thrown together Celebration compilation instead to coincide with her upcoming tour.

There have been so many greatests hits albums and best of and most of the original albums are available for only a few £££ now - but most of them are filled with not only the hits but great albums tracks. I decided to buy this 3 cd box set ( i have all the tracks elsewhere in original form) but could not resist the opportunity to get a lot of remastered and remixed versions! yes all the remixes are the edited versions( but i like that as some of the mixes went on for 8 mins of drum and repeated beats and added nothing) The early tracks sound amazing with increased clarity and poppy beats if played on a surround system - most of the later recording had such perfect production they sound the same! it is not a full singles collection - and some tracks are better known than others - and the fact in later years her singles chart success has been very limited - but their is only 1 Madonna and this is a great collection and hopefully will lead people to exploring the rest of her amazing catalogue!

WOW!!! I have to admit, I don't usually support Greatest Hits/Remix albums but I got this because its a Celebration of an incredible 40 year Career. I was NOT disappointed. All the incredible hits in one place, and some incredible remixes that make you feel like your hearing classics for the first time. This Album will be a dancefloor playlist for sure, an exercise playlist too. The Album of the Summer.

I knew i had to have this one... even if it was just to hold in my hands & hardly ever play...that is beside the point ! 😛Its the Queen of pop & a triple CD compliation with too many hits to ever list or even mention. Its all about the 90s & new millenum stuff for me. Spanning 40 years, everyone will have their fave Madonna song, Era, album & Decade to celebrate 🤗 ENJOY the RIDE

Vinyl over £100 so this for £20 is brilliant. Great remixes, everyone has at least a couple of madonna tracks they love.

Connaissant aucuns remix de Madonna je suis servi. Le top .mention spéciale pour les titres " don't tell me" c'est plus la même version et " secret" vraiment géniale ." Américan pie " super version " what it feels like for a girl" extra .et pleins de surprise comme " dont'cry for me argentina " version dance tangue au le top .perso très content de cet achat .une super idée d'autant plus que les seuls remix que j'avais en vinyls étaient ceux qui sont pas dans ce coffret ( true blue,papa dont......etc)

Madonna collection of CDs.

I'm so excited and happy... finally....50 number ones by Madonna yes!!!!😘

Also wo und wie fange ich an: es wurden bei allen Tracks meist die besten bzw. bekanntesten Versionen bzw. Remixe verwendet. 80's: kurze Versionen bzw. die You Can Dance-Edits sind die offiziellen Versionen gewesen, die in den Clubs damals liefen. Vernünftige Entscheidung diese zu nehmen und keine neuen Remixe zu produzieren. Bei Like A Prayer und Express Yourself wurden bereits die ersten housigeren Remixe zu dieser Zeit produziert und verwendet. Vogue mit der Single Version war im Vergleich zur 12' Version auch die bessere Entscheidung. 90's: Hier wurden meist die bekannten und sehr erfolgreichen Club-Remixe hergenommen bei Deeper And Deeper, Bedtime Story, Don't Cry For Me Argentina, und Frozen. Ausnahme: Fever hätte den Video Remix (Edit One) verdient, da dieser nur auf der German-Maxi-CD Rain erschienen ist und eindeutig die beliebteste Version des Tracks bei den Fans ist. 00's: Ähnliche Vorgehensweise wie bei den 90er Singles. Bekannte und sehr club-taugliche Remixe von Music, What It Feels Like For A Girl, American Life, Hung Up, 4 Minutes und Celebration. Ausnahme: Hollywood wäre mit einer kürzeren Version des Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duck Mix besser gewürdigt (man erinnere sich an den legendären MTV Video Music Awards-Auftritt mit Britney, Christina und Missy L). 10's: Ebenfalls sehr gute Auswahl getroffen; einige Remixe teilweise sehr verspielt und nicht mehr sehr nah am Original. Überzeugende Remixe bei Give Me All Your Luvin', Turn Up The Radio, Living For Love, Bitch I'm Madonna, Medellin. Ausnahme: Girl Gone Wild hätte mit dem Offer Nissim Remix, der eher am Original ist, besser gepunktet. 20's: Da blieb nur I Don't Search I Find ;-) - haben den guten Honey Dijon Radio Mix genommen. Gut gemacht. Fazit: nicht nur für Fans eine hervorragende Remix-Compilation (mit drei kleinen Ausnahmen), die zum Tanzen einlädt und zeigt, was Madonna und ihre Remixer geleistet haben. Weiterhin hätte man die einzige Promotion-Single Impressive Instant (Club Charts, Platz 1) gegen die offizielle 80's Single-Veröffentlichung Causing A Commotion (Club Charts, Platz 1) austauschen können/ müssen.

いい曲が、多いです。😃
