Like A Prayer

Madonna

Madonna has her seventh U.S. No. 1 single with "Like A Prayer" No. 1 U.K. The controversial video for the song uses religious iconography and is draws the ire of the Vatican, leading Pepsi to drop Madonna from their ads. The album of the same name tops the U.S. and U.K. charts and sells over 15 million copies worldwide.
