#33 of VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown: "Holiday" by Madonna (1983)

Here we are again, its been a few days, but I think we are ready for #33 of VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown, which is one you should know....Holiday, by the Queen of Pop, Madonna. Seeing that its just past the holidays I guess that one is a little ironic. Now, I have posted 2 other Madonna songs on this countdown, one at #77, and the other at #47, so look there for all the trivia info I could find. Now that it is officially 2011, Madonna, Prince and Michael Jackson would all be 52 this year. As for the song Holiday, it was originally released in 1983 on her self-titled debut Madonna album, and later also appeared on the You Can Dance compilation in 1987, then again on the Immaculate Collection compilation in 1990,  and most recently re-released on the 2009 Celebration compilation album, all of which I would recommend of course. According to wikipedia Holiday was written by Curtis Hudson and Lisa Stevens of Pure Energy and it was then offered to Madonna by her producer as a potential single for her debut album, which would peak at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and thus be her first Top 20 Hit. It would reach #2 on the UK Singles chart in 1985 and #1 on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. We all know that Madonna has quite a bio and history, so I would encourage you to check out her wikipedia page HERE if you want more of that sort of information. And, we're off to the next, but first enjoy the original music video below....
