Hail, Hail Madonna: Our all-time top 10 Madonna tracks

We celebrate Madge on the 30th anniversary of her first Billboard chart appearance It’s election day, but today is special for another reason. As  Madonna  fans/obsessives know, today marks the 30th anniversary of the Material Girl’s first appearance on a  Billboard  chart Billboard chart editor, No. 1 Madonna fan and all-around good egg Keith Caulfield put together a great  primer   on Madge’s chart history starting with her Nov. 6, 1982 debut on Billboard’s Dance/Club Play Songs chart at No. 40 with “Everybody.” Since then, she amassed some amazing stats, including 156 No. 1s culled from her appearances on all of Billboard’s charts.

The first few acts may seem a little dark and shocking -- filled with guns, dramatized murders, and blood splattering across enormous video screens.  But we all know Madge is far from ordinary. "I don't care who you vote for, as long as you vote for Obama," Madonna said at one point.  She follows that with,"You must VOTE NO on the marriage amendment." The crowd erupts! Drama continues to build with each hit song, perfectly choreographed with flying drummers, trap doors, contortionists, an
