Today in Madonna History: August 23, 1986

On August 23 1986, Papa Don’t Preach spent the first of two weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Maxi-Singles Sales chart.

Despite being more of a pop/rock song than a club-oriented cut – both in its original form and in Stephen Bray’s extended remix version – Papa Don’t Preach nevertheless managed to reach #4 on Billboard’s August 30th Hot Dance/Club Play chart due to the massive buzz surrounding the song and its undeniable crossover appeal.

  1. By the time Madonna started the Who’s That Girl? Tour, her imperial/untouchable era started-it would last through Music-it’s as if nothing could stop her and everything Madonna touched turned to gold. Madonna became untouchable. In her own way, she still is!
