30 Best Madonna Songs That Will Get You Into the Groove

Madonna has been commanding the world's attention since she released her first album in 1983. At the time, the young pop star's rise to fame was as much a result of her eye-catching image as it was her impressive vocals. Every girl wanted to be her—including Ree Drummond, who vividly remembers "the good old days" when Madonna wore fishnet tights, fingerless gloves, and huge bows in her hair. While teenagers were certainly captivated by the Material Girl's style, they also couldn't get enough of Madonna's songs.

"There was really no better music to listen to while spending an evening with friends as you all decorated your book covers with paint pens and took turns calling various boys to find out who they liked," Ree says of her favorite '80s hits in general.

Besides an instant feeling of nostalgia, perhaps the greatest thing about Madonna's songs is that she offers something for every mood. Some make everyone in the room want to "Get Into the Groove" while others encourage women to never go for second best. Over the course of the Queen of Pop's long career, she has proved that she can do it all—and so can you! Press play on some of Madonna's greatest hits and "Express Yourself."
