Just have to remember that when Into The Groove is certified Platinum, the OCC has the 80s figures at 838K (based on the 562K post 1994 figure they accidentally posted) which will put it at 1.438M on their end.

It still sounds so fresh. It's also the song I still hear the most out and about.

Glad they updated it! 1.4 million is huge!

https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/madonna-into-the-groove-number-1-single/ To date, Into the Groove has shifted a total of 562,000 chart units in the UK, with the track boasting 54.4 million streams.

Radio 2 being strong enough with its audience alone bringing it to the top 50.

Julian, you're a prince! Thank you so much

Nice to see Mariah debut at #35 on the radio airplay chart! The way the TV Airplay Chart will remain a throwback classics list from now on 😅

Manchild up to #2 on Apple!

The way the TV Airplay Chart is just a throwback list 😆 It's interesting to look at, I suppose.

Manchild #3 on Apple Music already!
