I'd say for Worst Country, there's a definate tie between Somalia and Afghanistan.

May I suggest a new category? "Worst Madonna single" And "all of them" is not an option. ;-) I'll think about what my pick would be...

I stopped listening to Madonna a looooong time ago. She's just one gimmick after another. The only thing that is impressive about her is that she's managed to survive this long on such minimal talent.
