20 Years of Vogue: the single, the unprecedented success

And so it happened. On March 20, 1990, Sire Records released "Vogue", Madonna's 28th single.


In the US, massive airplay and sales demand in response to the music video made way for the single's number 39 debut, on April 14th. Five weeks later, "Vogue" reached Nr. 1, displacing Sinéad O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U".

In the UK, in knocked Snap!'s "The Power" off the top position and stayed there for four weeks.

History would soon be made: "Vogue" became the biggest hit in M's career, hitting Nr. 1 in over 30 countries - it would only be surpassed 15 years later by "Hung Up", which topped the charts of over 45 countries worldwide.

The world was surrendered to M's new sound, embracing the dawn of a new era.
