On December 15 2005, the second of a two-part interview with Madonna conducted by Molly Meldrum aired on Australian morning show Sunrise on Channel Seven.
Meldrum had been one of the earliest champions of Madonna’s music in the land down under, with his influential music video show Countdown playing a significant role in Burning Up reaching #13 on the Australian singles chart in 1984.
Madonna returned the favour by granting Meldrum exclusive interviews throughout the 80’s and 90’s, culminating with this 2005 interview to promote her album, Confessions On A Dance Floor.
Speaking of Australia, I hope one day Madonna covers INXS with their song Never Tear Us Apart.
Madonna has performed in Australia twice. Most performers say it’s just such a long flight they usually skip the Land Down Under all together. The two tours that Madonna performed in Australia she skipped Perth, and many singers perform there. i wonder why she hasn’t performed in Perth?!? Maybe she’ll perform there one day
