Wildcat Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) 19 minutes ago, katara said: no it isn't when it comes to charts, airplay and sales. Diamonds went to #1 in way more countries and had greater longevity. "Papa Don't Preach" was the biggest song of 1986 worldwide. And even a random Kelly Osbourne cover reached #3 on the U.K official chart (in 2002, 16 years after its debut). That's longevity. Quote The song caused heated discussions about its lyrical content. Women's organizations and others in the family planning field criticized Madonna for encouraging teenage pregna ncy, while groups opposed to abortion saw the song as having a positive pro-life message. The song also caused her first conflict with the Vatican, as she dedicated it to Pope John Paul II, who urged Italian fans to boycott her concerts during the Who's That Girl Tour in 1987. 30 minutes ago, Achilles. said: Beyoncé is credited as a co-lead artist on "Perfect", not as a feature (just like Brandy & Monica,"The Boy Is Mine").
