Madonna — La Isla Bonita

The likeliest reason this 39-year-old Madonna single is broadly charting across 141 country and platform charts today is the FIFA World Cup 2026 — reports indicate Madonna is set to headline the tournament's final halftime show, which would make her catalog a natural point of rediscovery for casual listeners and superfans alike. Originally released in February 1987 as the fifth and final single from True Blue, the track was originally written for Michael Jackson before being reworked into Madonna's first Latin-influenced hit, its lyrics dreaming of a mythical island called San Pedro. Per Wikipedia, the music video — shot over three days in Los Angeles with more than 500 extras — included an uncredited, then-unknown Benicio del Toro in the background, paid $150 for the appearance. Among Madonna's deep catalog, this is one of her most globally durable songs: a BCharts discussion notes it leads her catalog in combined Spotify and YouTube streams. A World Cup halftime confirmation would almost certainly push it further.
