On March 27 1993, Madonna’s Bad Girl peaked at number 36 on the Hot 100 in the USA, becoming her first single to miss the top 20 and breaking her streak of 27 consecutive top 20 hits that had begun with Holiday, in 1983.
The single remained on the chart for 11 weeks. Bad Girl performed moderately well on the Hot 100 Singles Sales and Hot 100 Airplay charts, peaking at numbers 36 and 44 respectively. It reached the top spot on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart, thanks to the remixes of Fever, which were included on the maxi single.
Today In Madonna History 
Exhibit M-What a beautiful ballad Bad Girl is! The sad song is a triumph and a victory for Madonna! She is at her fiery and sad best in this song! What’s more, she may have bettered and bested herself in Bad Girl’s tragic sequel-Joan of Arc. Both songs show Madonna is indeed Human in her Erotic and Sad Rebel Heart!
I have to listen to this song
