10. ‘Ray Of Light’

1998

Rounding out the top 10 with 3.1 percent of the vote, Madonna’s « Ray of Light » begins with the sun rising over Manhattan, as people across the world hurry through their daily lives, timelapsed to match the upbeat track.

9. ‘Bad Girl’

Christopher Walken makes an appearance in Madge’s « Bad Girl » video, watching over the pop star as she smokes, drinks, commits adultery, and is eventually murdered, singing lyrics like, « I’m not happy when I act this way. » Directed by David Fincher, who also helmed Madonna’s « Express Yourself » and « Vogue Videos, » the six-minute clip slipped in at No. 9 with 3.2 percent of the vote.

8. ‘Justify My Love’

1990

Banned by MTV for being so explicit, this polysexual black and white clip features Madonna stumbling through a hallway, and making erotic encounters of many kinds.

*

7. ‘Hung Up’

2005

Cleaving to a retro-70s vibe (after all it does feature an ABBA-inspired passage), the video for this 2005 hit finds Madonna in full Dancing Queen mode, lugging a giant boom box to a paneled basement rec room dance studio to boogie in a leotard in heels, while in the future-present, a gaggle of urban athletes parkeur off the sides of buildings to her beats. What’s not to love?

*

6. ‘Girl Gone Wild’

2012

Holding it’s own in your hearts among almost 30 years of her videos, Madonna’s most recent single earns a place of honor in your top ten, pulling in nearly five percent of the vote, which is especially impressive when you consider there were over 50 choices.

*

5. ‘Bedtime Story’

1995

Madge’s mid-90s foray into throbbing, electronic-touched pop came accompanied by director Mark Romanek’s slick futuristic vision of a spacey dreamworld populated by a dove-birthing Madonna and whirling dervishes, visuals that earned it almost 5% of your votes.

*

4. ‘Express Yourself’

1989

Invoking the industrial, expressionist tropes of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, Madonna (literally) dances atop the machinery of sexual politics in director David Fincher’s stylish 1989 call to arms to the women of the world, shouting, « Come on girls! Do you believe in love?! »

*

3. ‘Frozen’

1998

The video for this Hot 100 No. 2 ballad conveys the song’s bleak heartbreak perfectly with a gimlet-eyed Madonna shrouded in black on an ominously barren field, waving her hennaed hands as she falls backwards, turning into a flock of crows, before multiplying.

*

2. ‘Like A Prayer’

1989

Chock-a-block with controversy-igniting religious imagery (crosses on fire, stigmata, Madonna making out with a saint), the unforgettable video for the gospel-inflected pop hit (complete with choir) ranked high among your votes earning the second slot on this list.

*

1. ‘Vogue’

1990

It has style, it has grace, and yes, in it, Madonna « gives good face. » Another fruit of Madge’s perfect pairing with director David Fincher, this 1990 homage to the sirens of the silver screen, complete with gauzy black-and-white cinematography and an irresistible matching dance, took the No. 1 spot in your votes in a landslide.
