songwriter Madonna. It was released on November 9, 1990, by Sire and Warner
Collection
Bros. Records. It contains new remixes of fifteen of her hit singles from 1983 to
1990, as well as two new songs, "Justify My Love" and "Rescue Me". The title of
the album is a loose pun on the Immaculate Conception, the conception of theVirgin
Mary without the stain of original sin. An extended play titled The Holiday
Collection was issued in Europe to accompany the compilation and the re-release of
the single "Holiday". It is the first album ever to use the audio technologyQSound.

"Justify My Love", the album's first single, became Madonna's ninth number-one hit
on the Billboard Hot 100 and was one of her most controversial singles due to its
sexually explicit music video. "Rescue Me" was released as the second single and
became the highest-debuting single on Hot 100 by a female artist at that time,
entering the chart at number fifteen and peaking at number nine. It became
Madonna's second album to be certified diamond by the Recording Industry Greatest hits album by Madonna

Background
The actual title of the album, The Immaculate Collection, is a loose pun on the Immaculate
Conception, the conception of the Virgin Mary without the stain of original sin.[1] In the booklet,
Madonna dedicated the album to "The Pope, my divine inspiration". This led to many believing it
was dedicated to Pope John Paul II, but it was actually dedicated to her brother, Christopher
Ciccone, who had spent the year on tour with Madonna on the Blond Ambition World Tour and
whose nickname is "The Pope".[2] It became the first album ever to use an audio technology
called QSound.[3]

All the songs on The Immaculate Collection, with the exception of the two new songs, were
remixed by Shep Pettibone alongside Goh Hotoda and Michael Hutchinson and some were also
edited down from their original lengths in order to decrease the overall running time. While all the
vocals remain the same as in the original recordings, "Like a Prayer" and "Express Yourself"
feature different music backing Madonna's vocals than their original album release. Pettibone The album's title is a
loose pun on the

"Well, actually some of the songs we changed up a bit, but most of the songs we (pictured)
kept in their original form. Like "Holiday", "Lucky Star", et cetera, et cetera, those
were all the original productions. The remix was just really to create the Q Sound,
and make the song kind of envelop you when you listened to it in a certain sweet
spot in front of the speakers [...] That wasn't easy to do. But then again, that was
one of those -- you know, "Hurry up, this has to be out last week". That was a rush
rush job".[4]

Warner Bros. released an extended play (EP) in the United Kingdom and Europe titled The Holiday Collection which had the same
design as The Immaculate Collection.[5][6] The full-length version of "Holiday" was included alongside "True Blue", "Who's That
[7]
Girl", and a remix of "Causing a Commotion". The re-released "Holiday" eventually went to number five in the UK charts.

New material
Two new songs were added to the album along with Madonna's greatest hits.[9] "Justify My

"Justify My Love" is atrip hop song which contains spoken word vocals by Madonna.[13] A
—Lenny Kravitz responding to
remix of the song, titled "The Beast Within", was included on some single releases. The
Chavez's lawsuit.[8]
remix uses only the chorus and certain lines of the original song, with the verses being
replaced by passages from the Book of Revelation. The song first garnered media attention
early in 1991 when the Simon Wiesenthal Center accused the song of containing anti-
semitic lyrics, specifically the lyric "those who say that they areJews, but they are not. They are aSynagogue of Satan".[14] Madonna
promptly responded: "I certainly did not have any anti-Semitic intent when I included a passage from the Bible on my record. It was a
commentary on evil in general. My message, if any [15]
, is pro-tolerance and anti-hate. The song is, after all, about love".

An upbeat dance and house track called "Rescue Me" was also added to the compilation as a new song.[16][17] Lyrically, "Rescue
Me" expresses the extinguishing of deranged behavior in a relationship. The song opens with a heartbeat and thunder, followed by a
prominent bass line, a piano, snaps, and percussion. Madonna begins singing "I'm talking /I believe in the power of love /I'm singing
/I believe that you can rescue me" before engaging in the breathy, spoken word vocals, like on "Justify My Love". She sings "Rescue
me /It's hard to believe your love has given me hope /Rescue me /It's hard to believe I'm drowning" over the chorus.[18] At one point

of the song, Madonna sings the line "And right while I am kneeling there I suddenly begin to care", which was likened oral

Singles
"Justify My Love" was released as the album's lead single on November 6, 1990. It became her ninth number one on the Billboard
Hot 100, staying on the top two weeks, and the number two on the UK Singles Chart.[20][21] Around the world, "Justify My Love"
also topped the charts in many countries including Canada, Finland and the top five in many countries including Australia, Italy, and
Spain.[22][23][24][25][26] The black and white music video was banned from MTV, due to its explicit content, including sex,
homosexual kissing, and nudism.[27][28][29] Due to this prohibition, the music video was released as a video-single, and become the
most-selling in this format of all time.[30]

"Rescue Me" was released as the second single, debuting at number fifteen, becoming the highest-debuting single on Billboard Hot
100 by a female artist at that time, peaking at number nine.[31] The single also reached the top ten in Ireland, Italy, and the United
[32]
Kingdom. "Rescue Me" has sold 134,767 copies in the United Kingdom as of August 2008.

Critical reception
The Immaculate Collection received universal acclaim from critics.
Professional ratings
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic graded the album five out of
five stars. He starts by saying that "On the surface... [the album] Review scores
appears to be a definitive retrospective of Madonna's heyday in the

Christgau gave the album an A+ rating and called it "the greatest album Mojo favorable [37]

Q magazine said its "ambitious title" was justified by "magnificent Sputnikmusic [40]

"More than a mere greatest-hits set, it's hands down the catchiest collection of '80s singles."[36] Ross Bennett from Mojo called the
album "truly the best of best of's" and stated: "This has to be right up there with Abba Gold as a collection of singles so deeply
