Madonna’s single Like A Prayer enjoyed a massive global resurgence this summer, though it’s not as if the world forgot about the tune. The track was featured in the biggest movie of the season, Deadpool & Wolverine, and that sync turned it into a smash all over again.
Weeks later, the album that single is featured on is also back in a major way—at least in one country. As Like A Prayer begins to fall on a number of charts, the full-length with which it shares its name is a winner once more.
Like A Prayer—the album—returns to a pair of charts in the U.K. this week. Coincidentally, it manages to reappear in the same position on both tallies.
Madonna’s early set lands at No. 17 on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts. That’s a new high point for the title on both of those lists, where it has previously spent time in the past.
The project has already reached both of those rosters, though it hasn’t managed the same length of time on the two. Like A Prayer is up to just three weeks on the Official Albums Sales tally. On the Official Physical Albums list, it’s now held on for 32 nonconsecutive frames.
Like A Prayer is seemingly spurred back onto the charts thanks to a timely re-release. The bestseller was recently made available to purchase on silver vinyl, which many longtime Madonna fans rushed to buy.
Madonna released Like A Prayer in the spring of 1989. The title track arrived just a few weeks before the album, and it helped make the full-length a huge win commercially. While there was plenty of outcry over the subject matter and some of the visuals paired with the music, that didn’t hold the set back from becoming a bestseller.
