Like a Prayer (single) discography online (35 different pressings) including rare withdrawn Pepsi Vrumona CD case
New is our discography for Madonna’s first single off ‘Like a Prayer’ – the title track!
One of Madonna’s signature hits and a worldwide smash. We are all familiar with the withdrawn Pepsi campaign due to the music video (directed by Mary Lambert) that included Madonna dancing in front of burning crosses. Pepsi withdrew their hugely promoted campaign but Madonna got to keep the money.
In this discography we have included 35 different pressings (vinyl, CD, cassette, VHS, presskit). Included is also the extremely rare Dutch withdrawn Pepsi CD promo case by Vrumona (only on MadonnaUnderground!) and a very rarely seen Dutch promotional presskit for the single (pictured). We will include more on the Vrumona Pepsi CD single asap!

“I want to reinvent pop tours”
Twenty-seven years ago, Madonna set the template for modern pop concerts with her Blond Ambition world tour.
From its hydraulic stage to Jean-Paul Gaultier’s iconic costumes, it raised the bar for stadium-sized spectacle.
Now, after seven huge world tours, the star tells the BBC she’s “exploring” a smaller-scale show in the future.
“I’ve done so many shows – world tours, stadiums, sports arenas, you name it – that I feel like I have to reinvent that now too,” she explains.
“I like doing intimate shows and being able to talk directly to the audience.
“This is something I’m exploring right now: the idea of doing a show that doesn’t travel the world, but stays in one place and utilises not only humour and the music in a more intimate setting but other people’s music, as well, and other entertainment.
“Kind of a revolving door of amazing, gifted, unique talent – dancers, musicians, singers, comedians, me, humour. I don’t know! Like, I’m trying to come up with all those ideas now.”
The concerts will presumably owe much to the vaudeville-style Tears of a Clown show that Madonna performed twice in 2016 – once as a gift to fans in Australia, and again at a fundraiser for her Raising Malawi charity.
The low-key gigs featured the pop icon dressed as a clown, riding a tricycle, chatting to the audience and telling jokes when not performing stripped-back renditions of some of her favourite songs.
Footage of the Australian concert appears on the star’s new DVD, released on Friday, which documents her 2015-16 Rebel Heart Tour.
In an exclusive interview with BBC News, she talked about touring life, changing attitudes to sex, and her recent dispute with a courier company…

Madonna – Rebel Heart Tour – 4 sterren (Dutch review)
Madonna – Rebel Heart Tour – 4 sterren
Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour – in december 2015 in ons land- verraste door de relaxte toon die de popkoningin op het podium aansloeg. Ze speelde True Blue op de ukelele, zong voor haar doen veel live en maakte zelfs grappen over haar mislukte huwelijken. De tournee verschijnt nu op dubbel-album en voor wie de beelden erbij wenst ook op dvd. Die laatste is een hevig bewerkte, maar spectaculaire videoclip vol slow motions en lichteffecten. Dan is de audio-versie natuurgetrouwer. Hoogtepunten daar: een vette discoversie van Deeper and Deeper, een triphop-uitvoering van Material Girl en de akoestische mini-biografie Rebel Heart.

MADONNA today released her long-awaited REBEL HEART TOUR concert film on a variety of formats.

Eagle Vision are releasing the film on DVD and blu-ray (both with an exclusive 14-track highlights CD) and digital download. Also released is a 22-track double CD, which is also available on all digital music services. In addition to the physical and digital formats, madonna.com have exclusive fan merchandise bundles.

Preview: Madonna on building children’s hospital in Malawi
Madonna visits with patients at the Mercy James Institute for Pediatric Surgery and Intensive Care, at the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi.
Music superstar Madonna opens up about adoption, motherhood, and building the first-ever children’s hospital in Malawi, in a revealing interview with Tracy Smith to be broadcast Sunday, Sept. 17, on CBS’ “Sunday Morning.”
Smith traveled to Malawi to tour the new hospital with Madonna. The facility is the result of the singer’s multiple visits there, which eventually led to her adopting four children (she has two others from previous relationships).
Is her family complete at six? “Who knows?” the singer told Smith. “Yeah, I never say never. You never know what surprise awaits you around the corner.”
Madonna admits being a mom helps her, too; her own mother died when she was just five years old.
“I get to become the mom I never had. So, yeah, it’s a very healing experience,” she said.
Madonna admits didn’t know much about Malawi, a small country in southeastern Africa, when she first visited in 2006 — specifically, where it was — but has since founded the charity Raising Malawi to help provide health and education services. Still, getting the new hospital built wasn’t easy. She says she would often think, “I’m a crazy person. What am I doing this for? So here we are. It happened. It’s built, and it’s up and running. And children’s lives are being saved as a result. And I feel like, you know, sometimes you can’t think too far in advance.”
Madonna visits with patients at the Mercy James Institute for Pediatric Surgery and Intensive Care, at the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi.

The superstar singer also talks with Smith about visiting HIV and AIDS patients at St. Vincent’s Hospital; how she compares herself today to the strong-willed woman in the documentary “Truth or Dare”; and her tendency to push every envelope.
“Oh, I’m sure I’ve done provocative things just for the sake of provocation,” she said. “Not so much now. Definitely not since I have children. But I think, when I was younger, I used to just say things, do crazy things. But everybody does.”
The Emmy Award-winning “CBS Sunday Morning,” hosted by Jane Pauley, is broadcast on CBS Sundays beginning at 9:00 a.m. ET. Executive producer is Rand Morrison.

Since arriving on the Hot 100 with “Holiday” in the week of Oct. 29, 1983, Grammy Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Madonna has earned a total of 57 chart hits, including a record 38 Top 10 singles. Madonna also holds the title of the highest-grossing solo touring female artist in Billboard Boxscore history.
“Aristocrat aggressively pursues the absolute best and most iconic brands to inspire us to create games that help our operator partners give their players the most engaging and entertaining experience possible. There is no bigger name in the history of pop music than Madonna, and we are thrilled to welcome the brand into Aristocrat’s enviable family of licensed product,” said Matt Wilson, Aristocrat’s Managing Director of the Americas.
Each Madonna Slot Game will be themed with its own unique game play, inspired by and including Madonna’s popular hit songs from her most memorable eras.
“We have been diligently working for months to create a slot game that perfectly encapsulates the essence of the Madonna brand, while also bringing an entertaining experience to players fueled by her landmark and groundbreaking music, coupled with video and exciting game play. We are excited to premiere the new Madonna Slot Game at G2E,” said Rich Schneider, Aristocrat’s Chief Product Officer.
Aristocrat’s Madonna Slot Game will be in booth #1141 at G2E.
Like a Prayer discography added – 43 different pressings!!
Our discography has finally been updated with the next studio album: Like a Prayer!
It took us quite a while to continue working on our discography as the main focus was updating all of our pages with new clippings (we’re not finished yet) and the 30th anniversary of the Who’s That Girl Tour.
Like a Prayer was quite a job to be working on as there are so many different releases, we counted four different German CD pressings and four different American CD pressings in our collection (different matrix). In total we have added 43 different pressings!
Included is the rare promo only box set which is exclusively photographed and scanned by us (each item in the box set).
Visit Like a Prayer now and go study the variations!
Until the next one!
