Madonna is one of many pop superstars who don’t often receive the credit they deserve for not only rising to the top of the charts and dominating the pop culture conversation, but for actually being the creative voice behind their massive hits.
The “Popular” singer has written or co-written pretty much all of her commercial successes—of which there are many.In fact, Madonna has written so many songs that, sometimes, she decides not to release them on her own for one reason or another.
Too often, these tracks languish on a computer or in a vault somewhere, while in other instances, they find their way to another artist.
There aren’t too many examples of Madonna-penned tracks ending up on albums by different acts, but each time it does happen, following the journey these compositions went on is always fun.And, with her long-awaited career retrospective Celebration Tour kicking off in London over the weekend, we’re feeling nostalgic, so let’s take a trip back in time with 10 songs Madonna wrote for other artists (including a couple she happens to feature on, as well).Okay, this one is a bit of an outlier, as the song actually features Madonna.
