Mark And Sarah Talk About Songs

Madonna is such a BOSS that she has 13 top-20 hits that don't appear on The Immaculate Collection or GHV2. 13! For most artists, that would be a career. For Madge, it's table scraps. But of course, these songs aren't scraps at all. They deserve to be ranked, and so we're ranking them, along with your help! Please enjoy our whoops of joy, hollers of dissent, and gasps of surprise as we learn how we feel about "Causing a Commotion," "Rain," and more!
