On January 16 1988, Spotlight entered Billboard’s Airplay chart at #37. The track would reach a peak of #32 three weeks later before falling to #40 in its final week.
Although Spotlight was not actively promoted to radio by Warner Bros. in the North America, radio’s eagerness to spin the cut regardless serves as a good indication that it likely would have continued Madonna’s hit streak at the time if it had been granted a proper single release.
Spotlight-an underrated and brilliant Madonna gem!
Fun Fact: Madonna had at least one song on any given Billboard Chart for like 25 years. The consecutive years began with Everybody all the way through to 2006s Jump. I think 2007 was the first year she had no Billboard hits. She released Hey You, but it never charted.
Another lost top5 because the record label bought into the over exposure noise great record
