On March 8 2007, fashion store H&M started the online promotion for the M by Madonna clothing line.
The campaign was photographed by Steven Klein.
The H&M commercial that promoted the M by Madonna line featured Madonna, and was directed by Madonna.
M by Madonna became available in H&M stores in Hong Kong on March 10, and around the world on March 22, 2007.
Watch the commercial:
On March 7 1998, Frozen, the lead single from Madonna’s Ray Of Light album, entered the UK Singles Chart at #1. The massive hit single was later certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). Incredible!
On March 6 2006, Confessions On A Dance Floor was released as a hand-numbered, limited-edition pink double vinyl set in North America. A non-numbered edition was also released in Europe several weeks later.
The album was reissued as a non-numbered double pink vinyl set in North America in 2017.
On March 5 2000, The Next Best Thing, starring Madonna and Rupert Everett hit #2 at the box-office in the USA with $5.8 million for its opening weekend.
On March 4 1998, Madonna’s Frozen debuted at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100.
The lead single from Ray of Light climbed to number two on April 4 1998, behind the K-Ci & JoJo song All My Life. Frozen became the sixth single by Madonna to reach the top two position, surpassing Elvis Presley for the most number-two songs.
On March 3 1989, Madonna’s Like A Prayer single was released.
Patrick Leonard had this to say about Like A Prayer:
“I think there was a point when we realized that it was the title track, and the lead track, and it was going to be a powerhouse. It became obvious that there was something unique about it. And that somehow we made this thing work: with its stopping and starting, and a minimalistic rhythmic thing, and the verses, and these bombastic choruses, and this giant choir comes in. This is ambitious, you know?”
On March 2 1991, Rescue Me, the second single from Madonna’s first greatest hits collection, The Immaculate Collection, entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #15 in the USA – the highest entry by a female (at that time). Amazing!
The double 12″ vinyl promo sent to deejays in the USA included the following remixes by Junior Vasquez, Goh Hotoda and Shep Pettibone:
