On May 31 2003, Madonna’s American Life single hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Club Play chart in the USA, spending one week at the top.
If you could go back in time and change one thing about the American Life single release, what would you change?
Release Hollywood instead of American Life. Nothing about that song or video works for me.
American Life-Madonna’s low point!
I disagree. American’s were just too uptight and stupid about it. American Life is her best record. The thing I’d change is not backing down on the video. Fuck Bush who bascially wanted the oil. Let the middle east live their lives and we live ours. It was and still is about oil, yet the USA is too ignorant to use renewable resources.
Every song on AL could’ve been a single. However, her career hasnt been the same since in tbe USA. The rest of the world sees how if ignorant the govt is. Madonna is a truth teller.
The uncensored American Life video is one of my favorites. Love the album too. I wish she’d satirize the US some more but I guess she wants to avoid getting such a thick skin after all the slings and arrows she’s endured over the decades. She Rises up above it all.
