“Into The Groove”
Madonna
Madonna cemented her stardom in 1985 with the Like A Virgin album and her hit movie Desperately Seeking Susan, but she ran into a strange quandary.
“In the United States, due to similar problems with “Crazy for You” and “Material Girl” being released at the same time and competing with each other, it was decided against releasing “Into the Groove” as a 7″ single so it would not compete with “Angel”, the third single from Like a Virgin. “Into the Groove” was eventually released as the B-side to the maxi-single of “Angel”, therefore it was ineligible to enter the Billboard Hot 100 or Hot Singles Sales charts.”
“Into The Groove” would become one of Madonna’s most-loved songs, honored by Billboard as the “Dance Single Of The Decade,” and is routinely near the top of polls of her greatest songs.
