She Sold Millions Of VHS Video Cassette Singles?!

What song was released in 1990 as the first VHS video single? Here’s a hint. It was banned by all major music video networks, and is still banned to this day by MTV. The answer is… “Justify My Love” by Madonna. It was set to be first viewed on MTV live, but was pulled from broadcast the day of its release. Other networks and video shows followed suit, leaving Madonna’s lead single from her greatest hits compilation The Immaculate Collection without its racy video counterpart. It was then that Madonna made the decision to release the video as a single. "Justify My Love" reached #1 on the Billboard hot 100 in January of 1991 and the video became the first-ever short-form film to be certified multi platinum in the US by the Recording Industry Association of America.
