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 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 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 chartOn 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)!
