On January 6 1993, Madonna’s Erotica album was certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of 2 million units in the USA.
Secret Garden as well maybe? Remember hearing it played on a radio station the day before the album was released and it blew me away because it was so unusual and cool
This album like American Life was underrated at the time of its release. I love the rawness she incorporated onto this record. My all time favourites from Erotica are Bad Girl, Secret Garden, Deeper and Deeper, Rain, Fever, and Where Life Begins. This album pushed boundaries making the uptight USA wake up about sex. Like Madonna said when MTV banned Justify my Love “America would rather see violence than sex”. She was right!! I also love the remixes back when they were very good. Now her mixes aren’t as good in my opinion.
Secret Garden. I love the slow burn of this track.
I love Secret Garden!! It’s got that late night jazz club feel to it. Usually the last 2 tracks are the best on her records.
Couldn’t agree more. Starting with Spanish Eyes, she mostly ends her albums with profoundly reflective ballads.
Deeper and Deeper because its a brilliant Madonna Dance song about what her parents taught her! Ciccone life lessons in Detroit!
Rain…such an under-rated song!

Double platinum in just a few months and was considered a failure at the time. Fave track would be Erotica. Then Rain.
I really like Secret Garden the best, but I also love her version of Fever
