On March 2, 1985, Madonna saw Material Girl enter the UK Singles Chart. Lifted from her breakthrough album Like a Virgin, the single would go on to peak at No. 3 in the UK, becoming her third Top 10 there and cementing her rapid rise from emerging US star to full-scale international pop phenomenon. By early 1985, “Material Girl” wasn’t just a hit - it was a persona that would follow her for decades. #Madonna #MaterialGirl #LikeAVirgin #UKCharts #80sPop | Today In Madonna History
