Could it be that Julia Garner will make a surprise appearance in one of the LA/NY shows to perform as Madonna so they could film the biopic footage??
Wishful thinking, yes. But still....The biopic surely is NOT cancelled, possibly just postponed- with recent photos of M and Julia floating around, I'm sure they didn't get together just to chit-chat, but to discuss business.

Actually, the reason why Holiday never got a video is because of the promotion strategy that Sire run for the album in that period .
After Holiday proved to be more successful than Lucky Star in the clubs, they decided to push Holiday to radio and stores (only in 7" form and without the cover art so the sales would go towards the album, but would be enough for it to chart on Hot 100). That would cover the dance/r&b market.
And for the video part of album promotion they opted for Burning Up. MTV at that time was rock/new wave oriented and they got Jellybean to re-remix Burning Up in more of a rock style, for the video release to be serviced to MTV in October '83. And that was supposed to cover the rock/new wave market.
So the reason why we never got the Holiday video is because Burning Up is its video. That was the initial strategy.

HOW ON EARTH did Klein Get away with THIS EDIT?!
The blur. The one eye. Surely he was taking the piss?They both were taking the piss, she's in that phase now.
Like Picasso during his later years, she's even compared herself to him before.
Once you prove yourself to others and yourself, reach a certain level of success, tick everything off your list - that's what you do, you have fun, poke and wait for a reaction. But she's always done that so nothing new there.

She finally decided to give the homosexuals what they want

I have a question.
On the VHS/LD "Madonna" 1984 the "Borderline" video comes before "Lucky Star".
Why do they come in a different sequence on both "The Immaculate Collection" and "Celebration"?This is what happened: They were both shot around the same time (Borderline a few days before Lucky Star) and were both intended as a promotion for the Borderline Maxi 12" (which contains new remixes of both songs). They were released at the SAME time in the US - Borderline was sent to MTV, and Lucky Star was sent to clubs- in March 84 (the original longer edit of the video is set to the New Mix and was intended for clubs, in the same way as Everybody was. It was never intended to be played on TV, as you can tell by its simplicity, simple dance sequences, background - just like Everybody was). So that was the intended promotion strategy.
And then, a few months later they decided to release Lucky Star to radio, and as a separate single. So they cut the original longer video to fit the radio edit and sent it to MTV in August 84, to promote the new single. It had nothing to do with international promotion - other countries just picked either Borderline or Lucky Star as the new single because they didn't have these multiple layers of promotion like in the US.

I was born on October 18, 1981. The next night, Madonna debuted live as a solo artist for the very first time with Camile Barbone as a manager at Uncle Sam’s Blues Club in Roslyn, NY.. or so the legend goes.
This one was mine too - Oct 23, 1981
Btw, her first solo gig under Camille was May 21, 1981 in Max's Kansas City (Originally booked for Emmy, but they gave the slot to M when she broke off the band)

So far we got a lot of mid '90s and mid 70's.
'80s babies, where are you?

You'll See at #5 is mindblowing. Other than that I think this is pretty much accurate, with Vogue scoring above 10

What is the Best Lead Single from every album?
in News ✖ Discussion
Posted
One could argue that Everybody, Live to Tell, American Pie or Die Another Day should be included instead, but I went with the logic of which single kicked off the album promotion cycle.
Me: Papa Don't Preach
EDIT: The reason I put the above disclaimer was to acknowledge that other people might feel differently about what a lead single is (notice that I didn't write First), and that my point of view was purely from the marketing / album promotion point of view. This is MY opinion on the topic, but if you think that my choice of lead singles is incorrect, feel free to start your own poll on the same topic. Thank you
