On June 9 1984, Madonna’s Borderline single climbed from #12 to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Here’s what Seymour Stein had to say about the single:
I dared to believe this was going to be huge beyond belief, the biggest thing I’d ever had, after I heard “Borderline.” The passion that she put into that song, I thought, there’s no stopping this girl. All of her energy – my God, I never saw anybody work this hard in my life. And then make it look so easy.
Today In Madonna History 
True statement that is! And no wonder! I’ll be going to Cleveland tomorrow to savor and celebrate Madonna’s achievements and accomplishments in rock & roll, thanks to a song called Borderline. All hail Madonna!

Borderline if my first favorite Madonna song and the corresponding video was a trailblazer in terms of inputting narrative in musical videos.
