On this day in 1984: Madonna made her first appearance in the U.K. when she appeared on C4 TV music program ‘The Tube’ performing ‘Burning Up’ and ‘Holiday’. The show was broadcast live from the Hacienda Club in Manchester.

According to Billboard Magazine, Madonna is the most successful solo artist in Hot 100 chart history (second overall behind the Beatles) and the most successful dance club artist of all time. With a total of 50 Dance Club Songs chart-toppers, Madonna became the artist with the most #1 songs on any single Billboard Chart, pulling ahead of George Strait who has 44 #1 songs on the Hot Country Songs chart. She has also scored 38 top-ten singles on the Hot 100, more than any other female artist in history. Internationally, Madonna holds the record for the most #1 singles by a female artist in Australia, Canada, Italy, Ireland, Finland, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
