This Week in Billboard Chart History: In 1991, Madonna's 'Justify My Love' Hit No. 1

MTV famously refused to air the song's racy video, but that didn't hurt its popularity. In fact, it fuelled its fire. On this date 24 years ago, "Justify My Love" became Madonna's ninth Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 (of 12 total).

Madonna's hot new video -- ''Justify My Love'' sparks controversy in the music world

By Benjamin Svetkey | Dec 14, 1990

Maybe it was the lesbian kiss that did it. Maybe it was the man in the fishnet stockings. Maybe it was the close-up of Madonna's barely clad bouncing bum.

Whatever it was — and it was probably all of the above and more — it's made ''Justify My Love'' the most talked-about video of the year. MTV's decision on Nov. 27 to ban the clip from its airwaves set car phones buzzing throughout the music industry. Newspapers across the country ran front-page stories. Parts of the video, with the naughtiest bits snipped or scrambled, were broadcast on CNN, A Current Affair, Saturday Night Live (on ''Wayne's World''), and countless local newscasts. ABC's Nightline finally broadcast the unexpurgated version — but only after the Giants-49ers football game had pushed its airtime past midnight. And there was one more quietly startling aspect to the brouhaha. Almost nobody found it remarkable that one cable channel's decision not to show one five-minute video should command such widespread fascination — testimony to the clout of the two pop titans involved.

MTV has banned videos before, but this time the network was saying no to the world's most powerful recording artist. Madonna's sex-charged career has been carved out of controversy, and now, for the first time, the hippest cultural outlet on television was telling her to cool it. Not surprisingly, she wasn't wild about the idea. ''Why is it that people are willing to go to a movie and watch someone get blown to bits,'' she complained, but ''nobody wants to see two girls kissing or two men snuggling?''
