The US promo 12" single and the Japanese 45 for "Back In Time" were both on Chrysalis at the time. |

Surely there must've been some legal or licensing reason they didn't release a commercial 45 in the US. It reminds me of how "Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin'" was only released on a Jermaine Jackson promo 12" single and later as a B-side.

Didn't they also not release Huey's "Bad is Bad" earlier in 1985? I remember
them showing the video a lot on Friday Night Videos and MTV, but I don't even think it debuted on the Billboard Rock chart... |

Funny how it wasn't released as a 45 yet it is on their Greatest Hits CD. I loved the song and never understood why it wasn't released on a 45....and Into The Groove was such a great song...pure Madonna and no 45? Another song that is featured in a greatest hits album. I actually have this song on two CDs. Madonna's Greatest Hits and the import CD single. |

Yes, but it never charted on The Hot 100 because it was never released as a 45 or 7 inch single. That's the whole point, it was never given a chance to supplement the high radio play with an actual available single. Until December 5, 1998 Billboard basically found these type of high airplay singles to be ineligible for the Hot 100 due to no "official" studio release. The point I was making that in this day and age it would have been a charted hit, and rightfully so. Edited by PopArchivist |

I also remember that video. You are correct about it not even hitting the Rock Tracks charts. I guess they figured they had enough hit singles off the Sports album. BTW, "Bad Is Bad" was released as the B-side of the "Power Of Love" 45 here in the US. |

The crazy thing about "Into The Groove" is, because it was
commercially available on the B-side of the "Angel" 12- inch single, it was allowed to chart on Billboard's R&B Singles chart at the time (peaked at #19). |

I remember reading an article in Billboard around this time that was talking about the increased no. of singles released from albums. "Bad is Bad" was mentioned as the potential sixth single from "Sports", but the article states Huey didn't want it released. He was worried about radio play, and quality diminishing once you got six deep. |
