Put The Needle On The Record - Week #18

Put The Needle On The Record Week #18 Madonna - True Blue

For this weeks feature we go back to June 1986 and the Madonna album "True Blue".

In the 80s Madonna could do no wrong and it was a decade that turned her into a mega star, her early albums also bring back memories about some wonderful holidays for me as lots of bars and clubs were playing her music.

"True Blue" is a fantastic album from start to finish and was Madonna's 3rd studio album and was the first album on which she co-wrote songs, it was the best selling album of 1986 and sold a staggering 25 million copies....Wow!

The album featured 5 singles, "Live To Tell" (which reached number 2 in the UK Singles chart), "Papa Don't Preach" (which reached number 1 in the UK Singles chart), "True Blue" (which also reached number 1 in the UK Singles chart), "Open Your Heart" (which reached number 4 in the UK Singles chart) and "La Isla Bonita" (which was another track that hit the top of the UK Singles chart).

As you would expect after all those number 1 singles the album also topped the UK Album charts.
