PunkTheFunk 124,425 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 One of the greatest pop songs of all time turns 30 this weekend! "Like a Prayer" was released on March 3, 1989 as the lead single for Madonna's fourth studio album. It was Madonna's seventh number-one single on the United States' Billboard Hot 100, and topped the singles charts in many other countries, including Australia, Canada, Italy, Spain, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. "Like a Prayer" has been featured on five of Madonna's concert tours, most recently on the Rebel Heart Tour in 2015–2016. In January 1989, while the music video was still being filmed, Pepsi-Cola announced that they had signed Madonna for US$5 million deal to feature the singer and "Like a Prayer" for the company's television commercial. Pepsi premiered the commercial during the global telecast of the 31st Grammy Awards in February 1989. An estimated 250 million people around the world viewed the commercial. The day after the Pepsi commercial premiered, Madonna released the actual music video for "Like a Prayer" on MTV. Religious groups worldwide including the Vatican immediately protested the clip, saying that it contained blasphemous use of Christian imagery.

I don't hate Madonna (her attitude kinda) and of course she changed the music industry, but you seriously didn't have to bring up Gaga at all. I was referring to how you think #1's are more important than an Oscar when imo, it is easier to get a #1 than an Oscar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was I trying to drag you? You replied to someone saying that Madonna has 7 #1's and that Gaga needs to step up her game, and then you replied saying "YeSsss VUTUbtBUT she GottTT An osscCaR".
