Madonna's 'Vogue' brought the underground 'vogueing' dance style and 'house music' of the LGBTQ+ New York ballroom scene into the global mainstream. The song was written in just a few days and was originally intended as a B-side. It features a famous spoken-word section where Madonna lists legendary Hollywood icons (Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, etc.). The song reached number one in over 30 countries and became the best-selling single of 1990. The black-and-white music video, directed by David Fincher, is considered one of the greatest ever made. 'Vogue' is credited with helping to popularize dance music in the US at a time when rock and hair metal were still dominant on the radio.
