15. Die Another Day
16. Don’t Tell Me
17. Cherish
18. Celebration

Observations: We knew "Everbody" would appear, but interesting that "Burning Up" does too, with all 5 Madonna singles appearing. Two Immaculate Collection snubs appear--"Dress You Up" and "Who's That Girl"--while three others--"Angel," "True Blue," and "Causing a Commotion"--do not.

Quite a few '90s hits get the shaft: "This Used to Be My Playground," "Deeper and Deeper," "Rain," "I'll Remember," "You'll See," and "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" all miss out. "This Used to Be My Playground" is the only US #1 not to appear, while UK #1s that do not appear are "True Blue" and "American Pie."

Interesting that "Hollywood" appears but not "American Life," as well as "Miles Away" but not "Give It 2 Me."

Overall the collection focuses most on the '80s, which makes up 18 of the 36 tracks--fully half, while there are only 8 hits from the '90s, and 10 from this decade.
