Second best baby…

These are the twelve songs which kept Madonna from reaching the No.1 spot in the UK charts with, in order, “Crazy For You“, “Holiday” (first re-release), “Borderline” (re-release), “Live To Tell“, “Hanky Panky“, “Justify My Love“, “Crazy For You” (re-release), “Ray Of Light“, “Beautiful Stranger“, “American Life“, “Hollywood” and “Me Against Music“.

We can forgive the second one, and Beyonce is forgivable for being such a cracking tune… but the rest of them… oh my!

With her 12 No.2 singles Madonna also holds the UK chart record for most near-misses by any act, although Kylie is hot on her heels with 11.
