On January 21 1984, Madonna earned her very first Canadian chart entry as Holiday entered RPM’s Canadian Top 50 Singles chart at #48.
Madonna would go on to collect a total of 25 #1 singles to date in Canada – the most for any solo artist in Canadian chart history. She has also racked up a staggering 68 Top 40 singles in Canada – 51 of which ascended into the Top 10.
Holiday-Reinvention Equals Brilliance!
I had no idea she’d been so successful on the Canadian chart. How did Holiday do? Did it hit #1?
No, not by a long shot…it peaked at #32 on April 7, 1984. Lucky Star was her first Canadian Top 10 hit, reaching #8. Like A Virgin was her first #1 single. But yes, she’s been very successful here! Glad she’s been doing more Canadian dates on her recent tours – per capita she has a relatively large and very loyal fanbase here.
