On June 2 1984, Madonna’s Borderline was released as a single in the UK. The single only reached a peak of #56, but upon re-releasing the song on January 1 1986, it reached a new peak of #2.
Borderline was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in February 1986, for shipment of 500,000 copies.
Judging by the writing the the raw emotion in her voice, Borderline paints a picture of a woman scorned-Madonna is angry as heck and will not take it anymore!
