40 years of Madonna in 20 songs: Our set list wish list for her concert comeback

nypost.com:

a health scare in June that led the Queen of Pop to be hospitalized for several days — it will reportedly feature more than 40 songs encompassing her 40-plus years of getting into the groove.

Here are 20 tunes from four decades of dance-floor domination that we hope she gives a twirl.1. “Substitute for Love/Drowned Love”What better way to begin her 40th anniversary concert than by diving into the raw, revealing emotions of the “Ray of Light” opener, on which M famously confessed, “I traded fame for love without a second thought.”2. “Music”Madonna’s last No.

1 single, which topped the charts in 2000, is the perfect electro-pop bop to show just how much she has made all kinds of people come together for four decades.3. “Into the Groove”This irresistible invitation to “get into the groove” — on this dance anthem from her 1985 movie “Desperately Seeking Susan” — has become a Madge manifesto for her entire career.4. “Like a Virgin”Madonna has reimagined her first No.

1 hit in so many different ways since it was released in 1984, when she was in her mid-20s. It would certainly be a full-circle moment for her to sing it now in her mid-60s.5. “Live to Tell”Just to show you how long she’s been around, Madonna was married to Sean Penn when this ballad was featured in his 1986 film “At Close Range.” And since then, she has most definitely lived to tell.6. “What It Feels Like for a Girl”This underappreciated single from 2001’s “Music” shows just how well Madonna transitioned from the Material Girl to the Maternal Girl.7. “Ray of Light”The heavenly title track of her Grammy-winning 1997 masterpiece captures the spiritual glow of Kabbalah Madonna.8. “Hung Up”Does it get any better than Madonna taking Abba to the club on this.
