Posted July 28Jul 28 Today marks 40 years since 'Into the Groove' became Madonna's first UK number one single! Share your thoughts and memories of the song below.
July 28Jul 28 One of my favorite Madonna songs. Everytime I hear it, it makes me want to dance and I just love the bassline.
July 29Jul 29 Into the Groove is one of her best 80s tracks.Such a brilliant pop song which is even better when it's attached to her first, and arguably best, proper feature film where she had a big role.The Blond Ambition performance is awesome, and I also liked how it was done at the Celebration Tour.
July 29Jul 29 Def in my top 10! The shep mix on You Can Dance and the original version are my favourites!! To think this song still needs to be certified at 1.4 million 😢!! She nearly gave this song away !!!
August 10Aug 10 Author I think it's my ultimate 80s Madonna party song. I wouldn't say the lyrics were deep but they really put you into that moment of being on the dancefloor and I think it's difficult to do that in a way that isn't generic. Madonna sings the hell out of it and the production is just relentless joy.
August 10Aug 10 Author 40 years today since Madonna became the first female act to occupy the Top 2 positions in the UK charts, with 'Into the Groove' at #1 with 111,792 and 'Holiday' at #2 with 59,381.Her albums 'Like a Virgin' and 'Madonna' also reached then-new peaks of #2 and #10 that week.
August 11Aug 11 Author It truly was! Eight Top 10 (Top 5 in fact) hits in a calendar year which was a chart record at the time (and can only have been beaten a couple of times since; I can think of Elvis in 2005 and Ed Sheeran in 2017).
