The Immaculate Collection

Product Information

It received twelve-time platinum certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and has sold over 880,000 copies as of January 2013, [74] making it the best-selling female compilation album ever in Australia. It became one of the all-time best-selling albums in Latin American countries such as Mexico and Brazil, with sales of over 800,000 and 500,000 copies, respectively. While being another dance-oriented track, the production here is more distinctive and this is most definitely one of her defining classics. Depictions of murder and interracial love, the stunning video had everybody talking at time: She is seen dancing in front of several burning crosses as though she was in some sort of state of religious and sexual ecstasy. The instrumental incorporates delicate use of guitars, keyboards, drums and synthesisers which sweep steadily along, while the lyrics deal with deceit, mistrust and childhood scars.

E bisogna tener conto anche del buon risultato dell'monimo video, che sembra incontrare i gusti dei fans italiani: finora se ne sono venduti 16 mila, mentre le precedenti collezioni di clip o riprese live non superano, in genere, quote novemila. Her sassy charm truly ignites this recording, helping it to become a huge seller on the UK and US charts. Justify My Love" is a trip hop song, featuring Madonna's spoken word vocals over a "grinding, sparse" hip hop groove.

It has been featured on all-time critic lists by several publications, including Blender which named it the greatest American album of all time. The first best-of to be made available by Madonna, “The Immaculate Collection” was released in 1990 at the peak of her post-"Vogue" club diva period, continuing the inflammatory singer’s recent calculated exploitation of Catholic imagery and subversive sexual themes, as evidenced by the wordplay of its title.

I got the Barnes Noble edition which is the exact same thing just released a couple months earlier than general release. The Immaculate Collection peaked at number 10 in Germany and was certified triple gold by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI), denoting 750,000 units shipped.

Another of her defining classics, the song was inspired by vogue dancers and choreographers Jose Gutierez and Luis Xtravaganza from the Harlem "House Ball" community, the origin of the dance form, and they introduced "Vogueing" to her at the Sound Factory club in New York City. Here, Madonna sounds more refined and expressive, living the song's theme and delivering her most convincing performance to date. All tracks except the two singles were remixed by Shep Pettibone, Goh Hotoda and Michael Hutchinson through QSound, a then-new technology that gives recordings three-dimensional sound on standard stereo systems. Despite all its (unwarranted) controversy, 'Papa Don't Preach' became another thoroughly deserved major hit.
