QUOTE Why It’s Great: Madonna’s musical contribution to her Desperately Seeking Susan starring vehicle remains one of her (or anyone’s) best-loved songs for its indefatigable energy, deep-burrowing hooks and most importantly, its belief in the power of pop music — such a revelation, then, now and always.
Why It Never Hit the Hot 100: Released in summer 1985, “Groove” came out while the then-Material Girl was still at the height of her total and absolute pop culture dominance following the late-’84 release of Like a Virgin — so much so that her Warner label decided to relegate the soundtrack song to the B-side of that album’s third single, “Angel.” (In the U.K., it was released as an A-side, becoming her first No. 1.) |

Billboard also released their 500 best songs that did chart on the Hot 100 and Madonna features three times, including #6 for 'Like a Prayer'.

Oh my God, that's absurd it never got a proper release in the US!
Do you think they screwed themselves out of a potential #1 there? |

Oh my God, that's absurd it never got a proper release in the US! Do you think they screwed themselves out of a potential #1 there? Guess there's no way of knowing for sure but I would say so! The US got 'Dress You Up' as a single whilst 'Into the Groove' was enjoying success in Europe. I wonder why they decided against releasing it in the US? I very much approve of Billboard placing it #1 on this list, it's one of the ultimate 80s dancefloor fillers for me! |
