#331 Madonna, 'Like a Prayer' (1989)

Thanks to her phenomenal success as a pop artist, it’s easy to forget that Madonna was more than just a popstar. This album is not a pop album, it’s art. Opening with two of the poppiest songs on the record, which just so happen to be the first two singles, ‘Like A Prayer’ and ‘Express Yourself,’ the songs are fun radio hits, with the latter being a female empowerment song. Track 3, ‘Love Song,’ is where it starts getting interesting, though. Enter Prince.
