  13. 3rd April 1987 La Isla Bonita landed at number 32 on the Australian @aria_official chart. In a week filled with acts that had trouble regularly achieving hit singles, it's fitting that the exception to the rule is a singer whose biggest fall from grace to date had been the fact that her previous single, "Open Your Heart", had only reached number 16 (breaking a lengthy run of top 10 hits). But that'd been pretty much what you'd expect for the fourth single from a number 1 album. And yet, along came the fifth single from True Blue - an album which returned to the top 50 for a 38th week this week - and peaked 10 places higher. Clearly, the reason "La Isla Bonita" did so well despite it being the album's fifth single is that the Latin-influenced track was unlike anything Madonna had ever released before. It was also the type of song that would've made people who didn't like her pop/dance sound sit up and take notice - then go out and buy it. Throw in yet another image change (or two) in the music video and it proved yet again that she knew when the time was right to mix things up. An early version of the song had been offered by co-writers Patrick Leonard and Bruce Gaitsch to Michael Jackson, but when he turned it down, Madonna added her own contributions to the track and slotted it into True Blue. As well as being among her most successful singles of the '80s, "La Isla Bonita" seems to be one of Madonna's favourite songs as well, with it regularly featuring in her live sets ever since its release. The video is worth rewatching, if only for the old guy at the end who dances in the street with Madonna holding his shopping bags. Info thanks to Chart Beats
