thatgrapejuice.net/2024/06/riaa-madonnas-vogue-becomes-her-highest-certified-single-ever-with-new-3x-platinum-status-nearly-40-years-release/RIAA: Madonna’s ‘Vogue’ Becomes Her Highest-Certified Single Ever With New 3x Platinum Status Nearly 40 Years After Releaseby Rashad Sunday 30th Jun 2024 Madonna‘s iconic call to ‘strike a pose’ is etched in Pop culture history, a status underscored by its ongoing impact and influence on artists like Kylie Minogue, Beyonce, Ariana Grande, and others nearly 40 years after first dancing to airwaves. A chart-topping force at the height of its popularity in 1990, the Shep Pettibone-produced jam not only reigned over the Hot 100 for 3 weeks at the time but went on to become one of Madge’s best-selling on the global front having raced past the 6 million sold mark as of time reported. Nearly half of that figure is thanks to enduring consumption in the United States as recently revealed by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Taking to press on Friday (June 28), the RIAA announced ‘Vogue’ had sashayed its way to the 3x Platinum marker – meaning it’s sold the equivalence of 3 million units in the U.S. With the update the Queen of Pop’s ode to the Golden Age of Hollywood and the then-underground ballroom scene is crowned her overall highest-certified single in the country, surpassing the previous titleholder – the 2x Platinum 2008 smash hit ‘4 Minutes to Save the World’ – by 1 million. The announcement comes after a slew of Madonna-flavored RIAA news over the month of June including reports that The Weeknd-led ‘Popular‘ – her highest Hot 100-charting hit since 2012 – became her first Platinum-certified hit released in the last 15 years. All of the above have added to how she’s maintained the record for best-selling female artist in the history of recorded music.

This is excellent, such an ethereal and emotional song. If included on the original ROL this would be a stand out track.

^It's lovely, probably one of her best demos. Though maybe she saw it as having too similar a vibe to "The Power of Good-Bye" (sans the strings) and "To Have and Not to Hold."
Love how she sounds when she sings "Why would I want them to be you," before the last chorus section.

RIAA.com: MADONNA Title: INTO THE GROOVECertification Date: June 25, 2024 Label: SIRE RECORDS Format: SINGLE GoldIt's eligible for Platinum. I wish they knew what they were doing! Shouldn’t this mean that its certified for 1,000,000 units since this was a pre-1989 release?

^Nope. Once the cert levels were cut in half in 1989, that was the criteria for all titles, regardless of release date.
M looked beyond fantastic for tat 4th of July party she attended in NYC.

Plus streaming and video views One of my sources says it should be Platinum. Frustrating...

I think the official tracklist was released and no Like A Prayer, but as many have said, doesn't mean it won't be featured in the movie.

Seet that it's in the movie. If it's not on the main soundtrack, maybe it will be on a deluxe version or "More From..." release. Or nothing. ![:-P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Why is her biggest selling song 3xPlatinum? Did she not release physical singles back in the day to help the albums sell? Not a dig against her, I'm legitimately curious. I would have expected her to have multiple songs at that level. "Like a Virgin", "Like a Prayer", "Express Yourself"...

^"Vogue" was certified double platinum as a physical single in 1990. "Like a Virgin" sold some 1.9million, but was never upgraded from its original gold cert (which represented 1 million+ back in the day). So if Warner has the supporting paper trail, LAV could be certified 3x platinum, with SPS in the mix.
"Like a Prayer," when its cert is updated, should be 3x platinum, as well, with a shot at 4x platinum. "Express Yourself" is eligible for platinum, with SPS in the mix.
"Material Girl" and "Crazy For You" will be eligible for at least 2x platinum, with potential for 3x platinum, depending on their original physical shipments. "Crazy For You," like "Like a Virgin," was certified gold for 1 million copies in 1985.

Probably won't have a Running Up That Hill moment. Running Up That Hill was never a huge hit in the U.S. when first released. It peaked at #30 in the Hot 100 and sort of faded away. It got a big resurgence because a ton of people were discovering it for the first time and it was used in a show that was in the peak of public consciousness. On the other hand, Like a Prayer was a massive hit and has stayed in the consciousness of music ever since. There are very few people who be re-discovering the song. I think that would be the case for most of her music. I would love to be proven wrong as it is an amazing song and it is tied to a big movie franchise, but I can't imagine it happening.

WBR/Rhino does not know how to do RIAA certs correctly for Madonna. www.rhino.com/article/madonna-details-like-a-prayer-the-silver-edition"The title track became Madonna’s seventh No. 1 hit and was recently certified double platinum by the RIAA" The math: Like A PrayerPlatinum cert + 2,685,000 SPS (April 2023 figure) = 3,685,000 = 3x Platinum The cert. is not at RIAA.com yet.

So is the official rereleases or repackaging of her albums is it happening in the end? I'm not talking about vinyls. A few years back when they announced it I thought they were going to be awesome box sets with extra material, etc, etc. Kind of like what has been done for Prince or Belinda Carlisle for example. Have they said anything about that lately?

^They've said nothing as usual.
I've said this before here: They are supposedly working on 3 deluxe re-issues and are waiting for Madonna to approve them.
