Today in Madonna History: January 16, 1988

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.

  1. 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.
