Madonna - Hung Up
Madonna breaks down her song "Hung Up," along with co-writer and co-producer Stuart Price
Madonna is the best-selling female recording artist of all time. She has twelve albums that have gone multi-platinum. She鈥檚 won seven Grammys, and has had fifty songs reach number 1 on the Billboard Dance chart. That鈥檚 more number 1s than anyone in any category, ever. In this episode, she talks about one of those number 1s: 鈥淗ung Up,鈥� from her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. The song and that album were co-produced by Stuart Price, an electronic musician, producer, and DJ from the UK. 鈥淗ung Up鈥� began in part because Madonna was working on a film with director Luc Besson (whose films include The Fifth Element and Taken). But the song also grew out of Stuart鈥檚 DJ sets. Madonna has a new career-spanning album out, called Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones, and in honour of its release, Madonna and Stuart Price told me the story of how their collaboration and partnership led to one of Madonna鈥檚 biggest hits.
