Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones is a remix album by American singer Madonna, released through Warner Records. Its abridged 16-track edition, simply titled Finally Enough Love, had a pre-release on streaming services on June 24, 2022, while the full 50-track edition and all physical formats were released on August 19, 2022. The album marks Madonna achieving a record 50 number ones on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, the most number ones of any artist on any single Billboard chart. The title derives from the lyrics of her 50th number one, "I Don't Search I Find". It is also the first release in a multi-year reissue campaign with Warner, commemorating the 40th anniversary of Madonna's recording career. [1]
Finally Enough Love received generally favorable reviews from critics. Commercially, the album peaked at number one in Australia, Belgium, Portugal, French-speaking Switzerland (Romandie), the Netherlands, and the international album chart of Croatia, while reaching the top five in France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The album debuted at number eight in US Billboard 200, making Madonna the first female artist in the USA to have a top-ten album in the last five consecutive decades (1980s–2020s). Madonna also became the first woman to have an Australian number-one album in five different decades. Finally Enough Love was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
On the issue date of February 22, 2020, Madonna achieved milestone 50th number-one song on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart with "I Don't Search I Find" from the album Madame X , her final release with Interscope Records. She became the first act in history to score at least 50 number one songs on a single Billboard chart, as well as across five decades. [2] Madonna expressed her gratitude in a statement to Billboard; "dance is my first love [...] so every time one of my songs is celebrated in the clubs and recognized on the charts it feels like home". [3]
In August 2021, coinciding with her 63rd birthday, Madonna officially announced her return to Warner Records in a global partnership which grants the label her entire recorded music catalog, including the last three Interscope albums. Under the contract, Madonna launched a series of catalog reissues beginning in 2022. [4] In January 2022, Madonna revealed on Instagram that she was working on a remix album titled Remix Revolution. She shared photos of her in a recording studio perfecting 50 dance remixes alongside Mike Dean with a little help from Honey Dijon. [5] The release was finally announced on May 4, 2022, with the title Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones, which is derived from the lyrics of "I Don't Search I Find". [6] Regarding the title, Madonna explained: [7]
I named this record Finally Enough Love, because at the end of the day, love is what makes the world go round. It also is representative of one of my biggest loves in life, which is dance. I love to dance, and I love to inspire people to dance—so with 50 number one dance hits, that is a lot of love to share.
A dance music compilation, [8] [9] it includes all of Madonna's dance number-one songs, with the exception of "Causing a Commotion", as well as one song each from her two double A-side number ones, "Lucky Star" (paired with "Holiday") and "Angel" (paired with "Into the Groove"). Before the chart's rules were changed in February 1991 to disallow whole albums from charting, the whole of Madonna's 1987 remix album You Can Dance topped the chart; three of that album's seven standard tracks are included. The album also features five previously unreleased remixes—"Keep It Together", "American Life", "Nothing Fails", "Turn Up the Radio", and "Living for Love"—by Shep Pettibone, Felix da Housecat, Tracy Young, and Offer Nissim. The album was curated by Madonna herself, while Mike Dean remastered all the tracks. [1] [10] The 3-CD set has a classic image of Madonna on the cover. David T. Farr from Sturgis Journal commented, the collection "is packaged great". [11]
"Putting this project together was like taking a trip down memory lane. It was a cathartic, emotional experience and brought back so many memories. I realized how hard I've worked, and what an adventurous musical life I've led! Most importantly, it made me realize how meaningful dance music has always been to me"
—Madonna, about the album [12]
There are two main releases of the album: a full 50-track edition titled Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones and an abridged 16-track edition simply titled Finally Enough Love. Both editions were published for sale on CD, vinyl, and digital album. The 16-track edition had a pre-release on streaming services on June 24, 2022, while the 50-track edition and all other formats were released on August 19, 2022. [13] The 50-track vinyl edition, which was a limited release, quickly sold out, which led to the release of a second vinyl edition of the album on June 23, 2023, to coincide with Pride Month; this second edition features six different brightly-colored discs. [14] [15]
"Into the Groove" (You Can Dance Remix Edit) was released digitally on May 4, 2022, to accompany the album's announcement. [6] It charted at number 14 on the US Billboard Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales for the week of May 21, 2022. [16] Four additional songs were made available on digital platform prior to the release of the album—"Deeper and Deeper" (David's Radio Edit), "Ray of Light" (Sasha Ultra Violet Mix Edit), "Holiday" (7" Version) and "Impressive Instant" (Peter Rauhofer's Universal Radio Mixshow Mix) along with their accompanying music videos on YouTube. "Turn Up the Radio" (Offer Nissim Remix Edit) was also released as a promotional single after the compilation's release. [17] [18]
On June 23, 2022, Madonna put on a variety show titled WoW, Finally Enough Love as a part of New York City Pride. It kicked off with appearances from RuPaul's Drag Race contestant Bob the Drag Queen as well as Violet Chachki, Laganja Estranja and Pixie Aventura, who performed to some of Madonna's songs, from "Vogue" to "Justify My Love". Madonna herself performed "Hung Up", "Material Gworrllllllll!", and "Celebration". [19] [20] On August 10, Madonna promoted the album on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and performed "Music" on its "Classroom Instruments" segment. [21] The same day, Madonna celebrated the album's release with a roller disco party at DiscOasis in Central Park, New York. Questlove served as DJ for the event, spinning Madonna's biggest songs as well as disco classics throughout the night. [22]

AllMusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated that the album "pushes Madonna's artistry to the forefront, as it shows a musician who continually engages with fashions, trends, and innovations." [23] Although the 16-track edition "naturally pales in comparison to its parent set", he said that its concentration and mixes still makes it "feel fresh [and] presents a portrait of Madonna as a dance artist, not a pop star." [24] Ben Cardew from Pitchfork felt that Madonna's selections for the 16-track edition "offer a curiously distorted look back at her history on the dancefloor," and pointed lesser names of remixers being "over-represented on the second half of the album." [27] Sebas E. Alonso from Jenesaispop praised Mike Dean's remastering of Madonna's older songs which makes them "sound so current". He also declared that "few artists could publish a compilation of remixes as rich as this one..." [25]
Katie Bain from Billboard wrote that the album further cemented Madonna's position "as an icon, innovator and general party-starter" and it "demonstrates not only the progression of Madonna's catalog, but the sound of dance music itself." [9] Bartek Chaciński from Polityka said that the album "explains well the phenomenon of the artist, who, in terms of publishing, took her first steps in the decline of disco, and later her songs accompanied the domination of house on the dance floors or the madness around EDM." [28] Sassan Niasseri from Rolling Stone Germany called the album "a pretty confident statement" which demonstrates the change in the demand for variations made especially for the dance floor across four decades. [30] According to Cat Woods of Shondaland, the album "highlights and enhances [Madonna's] undeniable mark on pop music" as well as "remind[ing] us that her talent for nailing the pop zeitgeist is irrefutable." [33] Joey DiGuglielmo from the Washington Blade , said that the collection "(eventually) starts sounding like little more than 'Hooked on Madonna,' of the famous 'Hooked on Classics' series from the '80s, which set classical themes to dance beats. Of course, some of that is to be expected given the nature of the release, but as an actual experience, it's occasionally tedious", concluded. [32]
In a mixed response, George Varga from The San Diego Union-Tribune concluded that "the result on Finally Some Love: 50 Number Ones is an uneven hodgepodge that finds Madonna doing a disservice to her fans and her legacy". [34] Sean Maunier from Metro Weekly gave a generally positive review to the album calling it an "eclectic compilation in its own right", but he felt both the scope and selection of remix tracks it presented made it feel a "little anemic", given the "overwhelming volume and diversity of Madonna remixes out there". [26]
According to a representative for Rhino Records, the pre-sales of the vinyl format of Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones sold out in less than 48 hours. [35] Finally Enough Love entered at number eight on the Billboard 200, with 30,000 album-equivalent units. It became the top-selling album of the week, with pure sales of 28,000 units, consisting of 23,000 physical and 5,000 digital copies. [36] In doing so, Madonna became the first woman with a top-ten album in each of the last five decades, from the 1980s to the 2020s; [37] [36] among women only Barbra Streisand has top-ten albums in most decades, with six (1960s–2010s). [38] [39] Finally Enough Love is the first remix album to reach the top ten on the Billboard 200 since 2014, and the highest-charting electronic/dance remix album since 2010. [37] [36] Additionally, the album topped the US Top Dance/Electronic Albums, and Billboard 200's components Top Current Album Sales as well Vinyl Albums, with 12,000 copies on vinyl, making it Madonna's largest sales week for a vinyl album since Luminate Data began tracking sales in 1991. [36] As of April 2023, the compilation had sold 25,000 vinyls in the US according to Luminate. [40]
With three-day physical sales of 2,160 copies in Japan, the album debuted at number 22 on the Oricon Albums Chart as well as number six on the Oricon International Albums Chart. [41] [42] It also entered Billboard Japan 's Hot Albums chart at number 25, based on combined physical and digital units. [43] Finally Enough Love debuted atop the ARIA Albums Chart dated August 29, 2022, making it Madonna's 12th number-one album in Australia. [44] She broke her tie with U2 and Eminem to become the second act with the most chart-topping albums in Australia, behind the Beatles and Jimmy Barnes, each having 14 number ones. Madonna also became the first ever woman to have a number-one album in five different decades in Australia. [45]
In the United Kingdom, the album entered the UK Albums Chart at number three, with sales of 14,132 units. It became Madonna's 23rd top-ten entry on the chart. [46] According to the Official Charts Company, the compilation had sold 88,394 copies in the UK, as of July 2023. [47] On August 25, 2023, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) certified the album Gold, for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over 100,000 units in the United Kingdom. [48] As of March 14, 2024, the album accumulated 52 non-consecutive weeks on the chart, making this her tenth album to do so. [49] In France, Finally Enough Love debuted and peaked at number two with 6,400 album-equivalent units, of which 92% represented physical copies. [50] The compilation also debuted at number two in a number of European countries, including Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland, while topping the charts in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Portugal, as well as the Croatian International album chart. [51]
Before its official release, Tamara Palmer from Grammy Awards' official website lumped Madonna with other artists in "reinvigorating the art of the remix" in 2022, further commenting that Finally Enough Love brings back the concept of a big budget remix album in the mainstream music spotlight. [35] Turkish newspaper Hürriyet named Madonna one of the most important representatives of disco culture in the 1980s, and gave her credit for being part of the rise during the ongoing decade. [52] Variety 's Mike Wass called her "the reigning monarch of clubland". [53] Helen Brown from Financial Times recognizes Madonna's longevity with the release of this album, and quotes John Earls of Classic Pop magazine as saying: "After assiduously avoiding it for so long, is her biggest acknowledgment of pop mortality" as a capitulation to the "lucrative" nostalgia market. [54]
Upon release, the culture editorial staff of Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter picked it up as one of their five favorite "cultural events" of the week. [55] Variety ranked album's tracks, with "Into the Groove (You Can Dance Remix Edit)" topping the list, describing the song: "Is arguably the template for the club-pop hybrids that started in the '80s and continue to be released to this very day". [53] The song was nominated at the Gay Italia Awards in the category International Song of the Year. [56]

Greatest Hits is a greatest hits album by English rock band the Cure. It was first released in Japan on 7 November 2001, before being released in the UK and Europe on 12 November and then in the US the day after. The band's relationship with longtime label Fiction Records came to a close, and the Cure were obliged to release one final album for the label. Lead singer Robert Smith agreed to release a greatest hits album under the condition that he could choose the tracks himself. The band also recorded a special studio album released as a bonus disc to some versions of the album. The disc, titled Acoustic Hits, consists of the eighteen songs from the North American release re-recorded using acoustic instruments.
Marie-Claire Cremers, known professionally as Amber, is a Dutch-born singer, songwriter, label owner, and executive producer. She is best known for her hits "This Is Your Night", "If You Could Read My Mind", and "Sexual ". In December 2016, Billboard ranked her as the 34th-most successful dance artist of all time. The magazine later declared her the #7 Dance Singles Sales Artist of the 2000s.
True Blue is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Madonna, released on June 30, 1986, by Sire Records. In early 1985, Madonna became romantically involved with actor Sean Penn, and married him six months later on her 27th birthday. Additionally, she met producer Patrick Leonard while on the Virgin Tour, and formed a professional relationship with him. The first songs they created together were "Love Makes the World Go Round", and the ballad "Live to Tell", which was featured on At Close Range, a film in which Penn starred. In late 1985, Madonna and Leonard began working on her third studio album; she also enlisted the help of former boyfriend Stephen Bray, with whom she had worked on her previous record Like a Virgin (1984). Titled True Blue, the record saw Madonna co-writing and co-producing for the first time in her career. Inspired by Madonna's love for Penn, to whom she dedicated it, True Blue is a dance-pop album that features influences of Motown sound, girl groups, and Latin pop.
You Can Dance is the first remix album by American singer and songwriter Madonna. It was released on November 17, 1987, by Sire Records. The album contains remixes of tracks from her first three studio albums—Madonna (1983), Like a Virgin (1984) and True Blue (1986)—and a new track, "Spotlight". In the 1980s, remixing was still a new concept. The mixes on You Can Dance exhibited a number of typical mixing techniques. Instrumental passages were lengthened to increase the time for dancing and vocal phrases were repeated and subjected to multiple echoes. The album cover denoted Madonna's continuous fascination with Hispanic culture.
American Life is the ninth studio album by American singer Madonna. It was released on April 21, 2003, by Maverick and Warner Bros. Records. The album, produced by the singer and Mirwais Ahmadzaï, features references to many parts of American culture. The album is a concept album, with themes panning the American Dream and materialism. These themes reject the reputation Madonna held in the 1980s, earned by her 1984 Billboard Hot 100 number-two hit, "Material Girl". American Life is a folktronica and eurotechno album, influenced by acoustic music.
Confessions on a Dance Floor is the tenth studio album by American singer and songwriter Madonna. It was released on November 9, 2005, by Warner Bros. Records. A complete departure from her previous studio album American Life (2003), the album includes influences of 1970s disco and 1980s electropop, as well as 2000s club music. Initially, she began working with Mirwais Ahmadzaï for the album but later felt that their collaboration was not going in the direction she desired. Madonna took her collaboration with Stuart Price who was overseeing her documentary I'm Going to Tell You a Secret. The album was mainly recorded at Price's home-studio where Madonna spent most of her time during the recordings.
Remixed & Revisited is a remix album by American singer and songwriter Madonna. It was released on November 24, 2003, by Maverick Records and Warner Bros. Records. The album contains four songs, in remixed form, from her 2003 ninth studio album American Life and a previously unreleased song, "Your Honesty", originally written and recorded for her 1994 sixth studio album Bedtime Stories. The other tracks included are the live performance of "Like a Virgin" and "Hollywood" on the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards—which ended with Madonna kissing co-performers Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera—and a remix of 1985 single "Into the Groove".
"Into the Groove" is a song recorded by American singer Madonna, and featured on the 1985 film Desperately Seeking Susan. Written and produced by both Madonna and Stephen Bray, the main inspiration behind the song was the dance floor; the singer wrote it while watching a Latin American man to whom she was attracted. Its instrumentation features synthesizers and drum machines, with Madonna's voice being double tracked on the chorus. Sexual innuendos and undertones are present throughout the lyrics, which are written as an invitation to dance with the singer. Originally written for her friend Mark Kamins, Madonna later decided to use it on the film, as one of the scenes needed a dance song. It was later added to the 1985 international re-issue of her second studio album, Like a Virgin (1984), and in her compilations You Can Dance (1987), The Immaculate Collection (1990), Celebration (2009), and Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones (2022).
"Hung Up" is a song by American singer Madonna from her tenth studio album Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005). Initially used in a number of television advertisements and serials, the song was released as the album's lead single on October 18, 2005. Written and produced by Madonna in collaboration with Stuart Price, "Hung Up" prominently features a sample from the instrumental introduction to ABBA's single "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! ", for which Madonna personally sought permission from its songwriters, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. This is one of the few times Andersson and Ulvaeus have given permission to sample one of their songs, following "Rumble in the Jungle" by the Fugees and "Fly With Me" by 98 Degrees.
Something to Remember is a compilation album by American singer Madonna, released by Maverick Records on November 3, 1995. The album was conceived after a highly controversial period in Madonna's career, during which many critics speculated that her career was in decline. The compilation of ballads presented a softer image for the singer and span over a decade, including a reworked version of "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" as well as three new songs: "You'll See", "One More Chance" and a cover of Marvin Gaye's "I Want You". The singles "I'll Remember" and "This Used to Be My Playground", were also included, marking the first time these songs were featured on a Madonna album.
J to tha L–O! The Remixes is a remix album by American singer Jennifer Lopez, released February 1, 2002 by Epic Records. It contains remixes from Lopez's first two studio albums: On the 6 (1999) and J.Lo (2001). It features artists including P. Diddy, Ja Rule, Fat Joe and Nas, and includes dance and hip hop remixes of past singles. It was Lopez's second album to feature a Parental Advisory warning, after J.Lo, and the last to have one until the release of her eighth studio album, A.K.A., in 2014.
"Sorry" is a song by American singer Madonna from her tenth studio album, Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005). The song was written and produced by both Madonna and Stuart Price. It was released to hot adult contemporary radio stations in the United States as the second single from the album on February 6, 2006, by Warner Bros. Records. The song was later included on Madonna's compilation album, Celebration (2009). One of the first tracks developed for the album, it is a dance-pop and disco song, and lyrically talks about personal empowerment and self-sufficiency. For the single release, remixers such as Pet Shop Boys, Green Velvet, and Paul Oakenfold were enlisted to conceive remixes for the song.
American singer Madonna has released 94 singles and 23 promotional singles and charted with 23 other songs. Among those releases, a total of 44 singles have topped the official chart in at least one of the world's top 10 music markets, from "Like a Virgin" (1984) to "Give Me All Your Luvin'" (2012). She has sold more than 100 million singles, predominantly in physical formats, with single certifications spanning 40 years from "Holiday" (1983) to "Popular" (2023). According to Billboard, Madonna is the most successful solo artist in the United States singles chart history, second overall behind the Beatles. In the United Kingdom, Madonna is the most successful female artist, with a total of 64 top-ten songs and 13 chart-toppers. At the 40th anniversary of the GfK Media Control Charts, Madonna was ranked as the most successful singles artist in German chart history. Editors of The New Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004) wrote that Madonna is a "deserving candidate for the title of greatest singles artist since the 1960s heyday of the single"; the staff of Slant stated in 2020 that "by every objective measure, she's the most successful singles artist of all time".
Throughout his career, Dutch electronic DJ and producer Tiësto has released seven studio albums. After spending years searching for his personal style and working with DJs like Ferry Corsten, Benno de Goeij and Armin van Buuren, he decided it was time to focus on his solo work. Tiësto's fame started to rise in the late 1990s after his set at the first ID&T Innercity party, and it continued to skyrocket in the early 2000s following his six-hour "Tiësto Solo" sets, which he performed without any other DJs or opening acts. His last three full-length releases broke the 70,000-unit mark, and the 2003 DJ mix Nyana hit 87,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan in mid-2008.
