The following year, Madonna released "Like a Virgin", which reached number one in Australia, Canada and the US; in the latter it spent six weeks atop the chart. The album Like a Virgin spawned three other top five singles: "Material Girl", "Angel", and "Dress You Up", with "Angel" also peaking at number one in Australia. In 1985, Madonna released her second US number-one single, "Crazy for You", and her first UK number-one single, "Into the Groove", both from feature film soundtracks. "Into the Groove" also topped the charts in Italy and Spain. The following year, her third studio album True Blue gave her three number-one singles: "Live to Tell", "Papa Don't Preach", and "Open Your Heart". Two other singles from the album, "True Blue" and "La Isla Bonita", were top-five hits. In 1987, she scored another number-one single with "Who's That Girl". The title track from Madonna's fourth studio album, Like a Prayer (1989), was her seventh single to top the Hot 100 chart, making her the female artist with the most number-one singles in the 1980s (shared with Whitney Houston).
In 1990, Madonna released "Vogue" from the album I'm Breathless, which topped the charts in all major music markets. "Vogue" was followed by "Justify My Love" and soundtrack single, "This Used to Be My Playground", becoming her subsequent chart topping songs. Her fifth studio album, Erotica, was released in 1992, but failed to generate any chart-topping singles. Only the title track and "Deeper and Deeper" reached the top ten. In 1994, Madonna returned into the Hot 100 top-ten with the soundtrack single "I'll Remember", which peaked at number two. Her subsequent album Bedtime Stories (1994) featured two US top-five hits, "Secret" and "Take a Bow", the latter stayed on the top of Hot 100 chart for seven weeks, making it her longest run at number one. "Frozen", from the 1998 studio album Ray of Light became her eighth single to debut at number-one in the United Kingdom. It was also her first chart topper there since 1990, and marked a major commercial comeback for her.
In 2000, Madonna scored her 12th US number-one single, "Music", from the album of the same name. The title track her ninth studio album American Life (2003) topped the charts in Canada, Italy, and Switzerland while its songs "Nothing Fails" and "Love Profusion" went number one in Spain. In 2005, Madonna released "Hung Up" from her tenth studio album Confessions on a Dance Floor. It became her most commercially successful song to date, peaking at number one in 41 countries and earned a place in the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records for topping the charts in more countries than any other song. With "Hung Up" going platinum, Madonna surpassed The Beatles for having most gold certified singles in the United States. The album's second single, "Sorry", became Madonna's 12th number-one single on the UK charts. "4 Minutes", the lead single from her 11th studio album, Hard Candy, scored Madonna her 37th Billboard Hot 100 top-ten, surpassing Elvis Presley as the artist with the most top-ten singles. She extended the record with the number ten reaching "Give Me All Your Luvin'", from her 2012 studio album, MDNA, which also topped the charts in Canada. With "Ghosttown", from Madonna's 2015 studio album Rebel Heart, topping the Billboard Dance Club Songs, she became the artist with the most number-one songs on an active Billboard chart.
