"Rescue Me" had interesting chart stats for nerds like me: one of the highest pre-Soundscan debuts, but only peaked at #9 and fell off quickly because its performance was all sales-based.

after looking at the tracklist i kinda want to find a double disc Celebration set for our new (used) car.
― scott seward, Friday, 22 February 2013 16:59 (thirteen years ago)
actually just looked up the stats: its performance was based on airplay, not sales.

it's 4 am and i'm listening to "Live to Tell". at various points in my life this song has affected me in strange ways and apparently i'm feeling the full effect again tonight... aw shucks
― charlie h, Friday, 22 February 2013 17:00 (thirteen years ago)
that is such a great, great song

That chord change auguring "If I ran away..." still kills me.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 22 February 2013 17:01 (thirteen years ago)
it really is an incredible song. every time i listen to it i'm reminded of the first time i heard it, but it also somehow ties into very current thoughts that i'm feeling at a given moment. x-post
― charlie h, Friday, 22 February 2013 17:08 (thirteen years ago)
all timer
― surm, Friday, 22 February 2013 17:23 (thirteen years ago)
i think like a prayer is like a girl thing
― surm, Friday, 22 February 2013 17:30 (thirteen years ago)
It's also a "like anyone who's seen it played out" thing.
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 22 February 2013 17:32 (thirteen years ago)
"like a prayer" would probably win by a larger margin in a poll of guys' favorite madonna songs imo
― D4y0 (some dude), Friday, 22 February 2013 17:33 (thirteen years ago)
A poll in which "Express Yourself" would get zero votes.
― Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Friday, 22 February 2013 17:36 (thirteen years ago)
i can't speak to seeing it live but i got over it pretty fast
maybe it's because i don't pray
― surm, Friday, 22 February 2013 17:38 (thirteen years ago)
okay FINE jeez Like A Prayer is going in my ballot somehow
I've been hearing it in my head all morning and I think that means that some dude's choir is going to beat me to death with they hymn books if I don't vote for it

― surm, Friday, 22 February 2013 17:47 (thirteen years ago)
I mean, don't get me wrong. I actually think I enjoy praying more.
― Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Friday, 22 February 2013 17:48 (thirteen years ago)
"I don't know how to pray""It's easy. It's like a blowjob."

so like a prayer is for rockists? remember rockists!? it was pretty monumental at the time. the first time you see that video is like the first time you have ever prayed that way.
― scott seward, Friday, 22 February 2013 17:59 (thirteen years ago)
so... seven our fathers?
― This beat is TWEENCHRONIC (DJP), Friday, 22 February 2013 17:59 (thirteen years ago)

btw has there ever been any clarification about how much work Prince did on the low on LAP besides "Love Song"? it sounds like it could be his guitar on "Act of Contrition," and the guitar at the beginning of the "Like A Prayer" video is supposedly his as well.
― D4y0 (some dude), Friday, 22 February 2013 18:07 (thirteen years ago)
act of contrition is the fucking shit
― surm, Friday, 22 February 2013 18:14 (thirteen years ago)
He played on "Act of Contrition," according to Alex Hahn's Prince bok.

i've been holding my tongue itt about not really liking Madonna ballads, but i think i just fell for "Love Don't Live Here Anymore"
― D4y0 (some dude), Friday, 22 February 2013 18:15 (thirteen years ago)
and, yeah, "Like a Prayer" recycles unused Prince-ly bits.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 22 February 2013 18:16 (thirteen years ago)
Love Don't Live Here is awesome
