This song is being posted not because it is one of my favorite Madonna songs.
I mean, it is. Absolutely. Co-written by Madonna and Mirwais, it is a minimalist masterpiece. Released in 2003, it was a bigger hit outside of the US than inside - but it was a minor hit here, too.... and a huge club hit. It was her first single in 20 years to NOT make the Billboard Hot 100, though.
It's not because the video is iconic.
I mean, it is. Madonna being Madonna all throughout this video makes this an even larger experience.
It's not because Madonna is a WGP Hall of Famer
She's likely to be our next inductee. Let's be honest.
No, no, there's another reason.
Before we get to that reason, let's hear "Hollywood" live.
Oh, wait. Maybe "Hollywood" was part of an infamous VMAs performance in 2003 when Madonna famously kissed both Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on the mouth.... literally right as they finish the song.
