On June 16 1990, Vogue hit #1 on the Canadian Top 100 Singles chart by RPM magazine.
Vogue would top the chart for three weeks in Canada and would earn a platinum sales certification – a fairly unusual distinction in Canada, where singles are rarely certified.
On June 15 1985, Madonna’s Angel peaked at #5 on the Canadian Top 100 Singles Chart (RPM magazine).
Angel was written by Madonna and Stephen Bray and produced by Nile Rodgers for the Like A Virgin album.
On June 14 1987, Madonna’s Who’s That Girl World Tour 1987 opened at the Nishinomiya Stadium, in Osaka, Japan.
On June 13 1996, A New Madonna: The Making Of Evita special (hosted by Kurt Loder) premiered on MTV.
On June 12, 2026, Madonna and Absolut announced a new partnership for the Confessions II era.
The campaign, titled ABSOLUT ICON., brings together Madonna’s dance floor mythology with Absolut’s long history of art, fashion and pop culture collaborations.
For fans, the biggest visual detail is pure Confessions nostalgia: the campaign, shot by Ricardo Gomes, features Madonna wearing the iconic purple corset bodysuit she wore during her 2006 Grammy Awards performance and in the “Sorry” video.
The new creative was developed with Special Offer, the design team behind the Confessions II visual identity, making the partnership feel fully connected to the album’s world.
The announcement also highlights Madonna and Absolut’s longtime support of the LGBTQ+ community, with campaign placements planned in queer publications and along Pride parade routes.
With “Bring Your Love (Stuart Price Afterhours Mix)” also out today and Madonna & Graham announced for BBC One, the Confessions II era is officially having a very busy day.
On June 11, 2026, Madonna fans celebrated the release of Grindr’s official director’s cut of her Times Square Pride pop-up concert.
The new edit offered a sharper look at the surprise performance, with improved footage and fixed audio compared with the original livestream. Staged in partnership with Grindr, the Times Square event helped push the Confessions II era further into the spotlight, blending Pride celebration, club culture and classic Madonna spectacle.
Grindr also expanded the moment with a dedicated Grindr x Madonna merch collection, including Confessions II shirts, hats and a Grindr-exclusive picture disc vinyl pre-order scheduled to ship the week of July 3, 2026.
The momentum continued beyond Times Square. Madonna was also scheduled to appear in Madonna & Graham, a BBC One special with Graham Norton, on June 26, 2026.
For fans, June 2026 felt less like a single Pride moment and more like a full Madonna campaign.
