i just want to issue a correction and dont know where to do it. the madonna quote from rolling stone is wrong and misleading. here is the correct one and respective link

"It was traumatic," she says. "I mean, I don’t like violence. I never condone hitting anyone, and I never thought that any violence should have taken place. But on the other hand, I understood Sean’s anger, and believe me, I’ve wanted to hit them many times. I never would, you know, because I realize that it would just make things worse. Besides, I have chances to vent my anger in other ways than confrontation. I like to fight people and kind of manipulate them into feeling like they’re not being fought, do you know what I mean? I’d rather do it that way.

Background[edit]

This part is wrong. It says "In the United Kingdom, the song was released just before the commencement of Madonna's 1987 Who's That Girl World Tour in October. In 1991" But the tour stared in June and ended in September. Johnnyboytoy (talk) 19:26, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Two songs kept "Causing a Commotion" off the top of the Hot 100[edit]

The singles that kept "Material Girl" and "Express Yourself" from the top of the Billboard Hot 100 are mentioned in those songs' respective articles, but only one of the two singles that kept "Causing a Commotion" off the top of the hot 100 ("Bad" from Michael Jackson) is mentioned in that song's article. "Bad" was the #1 single on the Hot 100 for the first two of three weeks that "Causing a Commotion" was at the runner-up position (the weeks ending October 24 and October 31, 1987). The other single that held the Madonna song at #2 is "I Think We're Alone Now" from Tiffany. "I Think We're Alone Now" held the number-one spot during the last week that "Causing a Commotion" was at #2; That was according to the Billboard Hot 100 chart for November 7, 1987. And the fact that "Causing a Commotion" spent 18 weeks on the Hot 100 isn't mentioned on this article, either. Madonna's chart history on the Billboard website can be a source for that. Anyway, I'm sorry if I never cited the Billboard chart when I added this info. Jim856796 (talk) 13:26, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
