MADONNA MOVIE SONGS: PART III - THE 00s

Madonna didn't contribute too many songs to films in the first decade of the new millinium, but the ones she did were significant. From the film The Next Best Thing, her movie with Rupert Everett, Madonna covered the Don McLean classic American Pie. Everett convinced Madonna to record the song for the film and appears in the video for the cut. Though the song was not released commercially in the US, it did reach #29 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the strength of radio airplay alone. Die Another Day was a massive hit in the fall of 2002 (Madonna's 20th anniversary in the recording business) for the Bond film of the same name. Madonna appears briefly in the film and made one of her most stylish videos for the song. The song spent 11 weeks at #1 on the Sales Singles Chart, the longest run for any Madonna song to date. It was the biggest Bond hit since Duran Duran's 1985 A View to a Kill. Nice. Okay, watch these and marvel at her wonder. More to come!!!
