Mirrion Rizzons 10,705 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 So I was just wondering, since 'justify my love' by madonna hit number 1 on billboard, did it receive much radio airplay? Or did it only hit number 1 due to high first week sales and music video controversy then tank after? Or did it have longevity? Do you remember hearing it on the radio? Because I honestly can't imagine it being on the radio since it's mainly spoken and really sexual. I mean if It did receive radio airplay then the GP in 1990 stanned TALENT.

River 114,384 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I can't remember because I was 4 But in some sense, the radio and mtv were more open minded about sexual lyrics and curses.. it started to take a turn and heavily censored from like 98.. For example the song Bitch was not censored at all, no one had a problem with this word.. Or Sex On The Beach, the video showed color painted boobs and you could watch it during the day... So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, atleast for MTV. Justify My Love and Erotica were banned and they contained nudity (And once Erotica was unbanned, it was only played after midnight), and Madonna tanked bc she was more sexually open than before in the Erotica, which was in 1992. this is the state of grace, this is the worthwhile fight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcanum 5,150 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Absolutely yes. The MV was released in December 1990 and all the controversy led it to the top of the charts. It was definitely not radio friendly by all means. I think it peaked at no.5 on radio songs in December 1990. I Wantth your Love...I Wantth your Love.

LuvitLevit 639 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 The song received minor radio play. I was a little kid and remember it came on the radio, mom and dad in front seat turned the station cause they were both fully aware of the sex book, video, and image behind it. We were in our way to church 🙃 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartz 12,493 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 IKR! Only Madonna can pull off making Justify My Love and Erotica hits. Can you imagine anyone else doing that and bouncing back? No one else can and did that. Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
