#84 - Dress You Up

Artist: Madonna
Album: Like A Virgin
Video: Fast forward to about the 1 minute mark, to see where the version from the MTV countdown starts.

With this entry, Madonna becomes the first artist to appear twice in the countdown. She also had the #91 video.

"Dress You Up" was the fourth top 5 single released from the "Like A Virgin" album.  One of her more underrated hits from this time period, it's strong work.  Catchy beat, easy to dance to, Madonna doing what she does.

The video is a live performance from The Virgin Tour. Based on the entrance, it appears this video is also the opening song of this particular concert.  I will also note, Madonna sporting quite the colorful jacket.

Here's some blog trivia: This is the second consecutive video to come from a Michigan native.  Madonna and Stevie Wonder are both from the Wolverine State.

Also, I added a "#1 hit" label.  I thought it would be fun to see which songs made it to the top of the Billboard Hot 100.  It's interesting that we've had three #1 hits already in this countdown, and we're only at #84.

  1. Um, yeah...that jacket. But I like that she takes the title's imperative seriously.
