Madonna - Hung Up

<p>Madonna is the best-selling female recording artist of all time. She has twelve albums that have gone multi-platinum. She’s won seven Grammys, and has had fifty songs reach number 1 on the Billboard Dance chart. That’s more number 1s than anyone in any category, ever. In this episode, she talks about one of those number 1s: “Hung Up,” from her 2005 album <em>Confessions on a Dance Floor</em>. The song and that album were co-produced by Stuart Price, an electronic musician, producer, and DJ from the UK. “Hung Up” began in part because Madonna was working on a film with director Luc Besson (whose films include <em>The Fifth Element</em> and <em>Taken</em>). But the song also grew out of Stuart’s DJ sets.</p> <p>Madonna has a new career-spanning album out, called <em>Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones</em>, and in honor of its release, Madonna and Stuart Price told me the story of how their collaboration and partnership led to one of Madonna’s biggest hits.</p> <p>For more, visit <a href="https://songexploder.net/madonna" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">songexploder.net/madonna</a>.</p>
