Track listing

• You need to say that the credits were adapted from the liner notes of Like a Virgin... accompanied by the credits ref.
• You need to add a ref of release here.
• Unlink Madonna
  • The headline section does that to have the credits reference.

Charts

• You may add a subsection called "Weekly charts".
  • That is not needed, we add the weekly charts section when there are multiple chart tables, to differentiate from the yearly, all-time, decade end charts etc, which is not the case here. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 09:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
