Who's That Girl is the first soundtrack album by American singer and songwriter Madonna (pictured). It was released on July 21, 1987, by Sire Records to promote the film of the same name. It also contains songs by multiple label mates. The soundtrack is credited as a Madonna album, despite her only performing four of the nine tracks on the album. After the commercial success of the film Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), in which she co-starred, Madonna wanted to act in another comedy film; however, due to the critical and commercial failure of her adventure film Shanghai Surprise (1986), Warner Bros. was initially reluctant to greenlight the project but later agreed. Madonna co-wrote the tracks "Who's That Girl" , "The Look of Love", "Causing a Commotion", and "Can't Stop". After its release, the Who's That Girl soundtrack received a mostly negative response from critics, with some reviews describing it as plain and incomplete, although the title track and "The Look of Love" were praised as its highlights. The soundtrack was a commercial success, reaching the top ten of the album charts of the United States, Austria, Canada, France, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The soundtrack was later promoted on the Who's That Girl Tour. (more...)

Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet

It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.

This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
