Bitch I'm Madonna quickly became Madonna's biggest viewed video not long after release but after her 2 separate versions of La Isla Bonita got sorted out over the last year so it's just one version now, the 1986 classic has been rising in views and has now just gone to the top, with 322M views:

It always cheers me when I see classic videos from legendary artists get the dues they deserve. It's sad that so many old videos from older artists get pitiful views because they were made years before YouTube and missed out on all the views and likes for years. This isn't the only Madonna song to have risen in views over the last two years. They used to have really low views but now pre-YouTube videos like Like A Prayer (126M), Vogue (122M), Papa Don't Preach (112M), Like A Virgin (78M), Frozen (68M), Live To Tell (61M) and Material Girl (58M) have had a huge increase in views. For Material Girl to garner that many views after only being officially released on Youtube 3 years ago is outstanding. I may not be the biggest Madonna fan but her old work deserves recognition, so give her old hits some love!

That's good! Especially considering Bitch I'm Madonna was her most viewed video until now. My favourites from her are Vogue, Sorry and American Life (the uncensored one)

No offense, but why does Madonna do so much Latin influenced music when she’s literally Italian and French Canadian. Like I understand influence, but sometimes she kind of appropriates a little

I keep telling everyone that 80s Madonna was IT.

90s Madonna might be slick, cooler and self-aware but there’s something about a young New Wave Madonna hustling her way, not giving a damn about her looks or the gym or smashing records or her reputation, and above else, just HAVING fun in each and every moment.

Because she's inspired by it.

When she was struggling in NYC in the early 80s trying to make it in the music industry, she lived and hang out it latino communities on the lower east side. She always admitted to being fascinated by and loving latin culture and she was among the few female Caucasian artists who embraced and brought to the mainstream latin music in the mid 80s, besides Gloria Estefan or Los Lobos.

Your comment about appropriation doesn't make sense. You can like whatever culture you desire and pay hommage as long as it's done respectfully and tastefully.
