Baby steps actually climbing a nice suprise

Nice to see 'Baby Steps' both here and played this week.

I’m guessing Go was on ACR midweek then as it surely hasn’t climbed this much otherwise?!

Nice to see that “Baby Steps” stayed in. “Nice To Each Other” overtook it in the Wednesday update.

Biography

When Madonna Louise Ciccone was 15, she put on a black silk cape and the biggest platform shoes she owned, snuck out of her bedroom window in suburban Michigan, and hitchhiked to Detroit to see David Bowie live. The night changed her life—not just because the music was great, but because, as she put it more than 20 years later while accepting Bowie’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, “it was great theater. Here was this beautiful, androgynous man, just being so…perverse.” More than a musician, Madonna—like Bowie was—is a supreme cultural curator. She's an artist capable of combining styles and images in ways that are both novel and groundbreaking, who changes with such frequency and confidence that change has become her defining characteristic. Born in Bay City, Michigan, in 1958, she spent her childhood studying ballet, later moving to New York to try and make it as a dancer. (She was fired from a brief stint at a Times Square Dunkin’ Donuts after spraying a customer—either accidentally or on purpose, she never confirmed—with donut jelly.) After playing in a couple of New Wave bands, she went solo, exploring a simple, almost punky, almost amateurish take on dance music (“Borderline,” “Lucky Star”) that brought the grandeur of disco down to human scale. She remained more or less invincible throughout the '80s, releasing a string of albums (Like a Virgin, True Blue, and Like a Prayer) that continue to define the era. Like Prince, her music was immediate but her character was incredibly complex: She could be brassy (“Material Girl”) and sweet (“Open Your Heart”), earnest (“Papa Don’t Preach”) and playful (“Like a Virgin”), sacred and profane—a variety that widened the emotional spectrum for pretty much every female pop artist in her wake. In the ’90s, she shifted her focus more explicitly to the intersection of sex and power (Erotica, Bedtime Stories, the photo book Sex), with a sound that flirted with house, new jack swing, and late-night R&B. (Between “Vogue” and the tour documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare, it was also a moment when she leaned into her support of the LGBTQ community—a relationship that has defined her career.) Just as quickly as she’d embraced her inner sinner, she pivoted, first with a role as former Argentinian first lady Eva Perón in the 1996 film and soundtrack Evita, then with the 1998 album Ray of Light—projects that rechristened her as a mature, soul-searching artist in a chaotic world. She kept pace through the 2000s and 2010s, exploring disco, electro, and minimalistic takes on ’80s dance music, continuing to track the sound of the times while always, somehow, remaining herself. When she was a young woman pursuing a dance career in New York, she’d been given a nickname by the famed choreographer Martha Graham: Madame X, a shape-shifting woman whose identity was, as the name suggests, a variable. About 40 years later, she embraced the moniker for 2019’s Madame X, an album influenced by the yearning fado music of her adopted home of Lisbon, Portugal. - Apple Music

First time hearing Baby Steps. As expected I don't like it.

Madonna's highest peaking hit as primary artist in 11 years! This is such a great song, hope there's more brilliance to come from the album.

In the midweeks, it was being cleared out by Nice To Each Other as Olivia's third song.

Nice to see this in. Hope it can eventually get higher somehow.

nice to see this hold in the top 30, its not amazing but catchy, cool to see madonna continue to get hits!

This is actually pretty good, Madonna managing to find a Gen Z audience wasn't something I expected

The artists commonly dubbed as 'the King of Pop' and 'the Queen of Pop' both in the top 40 in 2026!

Great to have Madonna back. I can remember when Who’s That Girl and the Pet Shop Boys single It’s A Sin held the top two in July 1987.

Nice to see that "Bring Your Love" did enough to stay in the top 30.

King Of Rock N Roll Elvis revival when?

Glad this made it really great track for both of them hopefully it can stick around but if it only gets 1 week glad it was top 30

Madonna's first top 40 hit with a new song as the lead since 2015.

There was one in the 2000s.

Madonna can still sing then… just. Not a bad track I suppose.
