//THREAD ON WHY MADONNA DESERVES THE TOP POSITION ON BILLBOARD BEST ARTIST (MUSIC VIDEOS)//:
Disclaimer: With this thread I’m not saying others didn’t deserve it, I’m just defending why Madonna deserves the position billboard gave her. Also, Madonna has a VERY rich videography so of course I can’t put all her amazing videos on the thread, If u don’t see one, comment it.
Material Girl:
In Material girl we see Madonna clearly making a homage to Marilyn Monroe. Helping to change the image of Monroe from one of victimhood and tragedy to one of power and sensuality, Madonna, Ironically, Separated herself from Monroe, showing her Superstar presence.

Papa Don’t preach:
The video shows a teenage girl that got pregnant and how she struggles to tell her father her decision of keeping her baby. Being one of the first story telling videos, this video is often called one of the best from the 80s and the dance is often replicated.

Here is important to say that Madonna was the biggest ally (even tho she is bisexual) the LGBT community had, she was there for us when nobody was. During the AIDS crisis she did a lot of benefit aids concerts and put instruction to safe sex on her like a prayer’s album +
She made sure to show us to the world, she make sure to give credit to the ballrooms and took queer poc people with her to work with her. She helped Queer culture and people to be recognize in the world. So the question is, was it cultural appropriation or cultural appreciation?
Justify My Love:
The most sexual and controversial Madonna video at the time. The video shows Madonna and a group of people being openly sexual and doing acts of bdsm and voyeurism. It’s also one of the first videos (if not the first) to show same gender sexual interactions.

Erotica:
In a follow up the last video, Madonna decided to explore sexuality a little bit more. This video (and whole era) is Madonna’s most controversial and sexually free era. It also shows cameos from Naomi Campbell, Big daddy Kane and Isabella Rossellini.

This era broke a lot of barriers for women in music. Being the first singer showing that women can be the owners of their own sexuality, this era influenced and helped a lot of female singers to be open sexually. Madonna showed that women can be sexual beings in the way men are.
Human Nature:
After all the backlash and hate Madonna recieved for being a sexuallly open women, Madonna wanted to let clear that she is not Apologetic. In a bdsm-ish outfit, Madonna released one of her best videos. The scenography still inspiring artist today.

In the song she was defying everyone that had a problem with a women being sexual, Saying that all she did was in human nature. She also asked question that we still ask today. “Would it sound better if I was a man?” “I’m not sorry, would you like me better if I was?”

Madonna then, was forced to do another video for the song thanks to the message and graphic content. In this era, whoever expressed anti-war thoughts was put through hell (see the Dixie chics), And Madonna didn’t have fear of showing how wrong everything the USA was doing was.
