TOP 10
The seventh Madonna cover of Top 10, but the first to use a recent
picture. This one also comes from the shoot for the cover sleeves of La
Isla Bonita and You Can Dance. The cover announces 24 new pictures of
Madonna inside, but actually only two photos are printed, each twelve
times.

very small NCRV-logo can still be seen on the top left. The picture

played the role of the kid in the Open Your Heart segment.

POPFOTO
The first Dutch cover of 1986 has the same photo as Rolling Stone of
November 1984. Note the extremely red lips, almost fluorescent. The
inside story has an overview of all things Madonna did in 1985,
including a list of all Dutch hit records. Out of 52 weeks, Madonna was
in the Dutch Top 40 for an astonishing 46 weeks. The album Like A Virgin
was in the charts all year, peaking at number one in September.

HIT KRANT
Another early cover from Holland. This one comes with early Madonna shot from '83/'84. Inside includes a cool shot of what looks like the laser disc of DSS issued on RCA/Columbia Pictures. There is also a two page feature on Madonna and as with many Dutch magazines I have seen, this one includes two totally rare pictures of Madonna from the early madonna shoots. These are worth viewing!

HITKRANT
The first of two Hitkrant covers (see also November) that is related to
Shanghai Surprise, the movie Madonna made with then-husband Sean Penn.
As the inside story tells, Sean Penn found it hard to cope with the
international press that had followed the couple to the Far East, which
resulted in a lot of negative stories. This picture was taken on 6 March
1986, when Madonna held a press conference in London with executive
producer George Harrison (Penn was absent) to end the bad publicity.

HITKRANT
In early 1986, Borderline had become a huge hit in Holland after its
re-release, and was followed by Live To Tell. Since the two videos are
very different, especially the way Madonna looks, Hitkrant compares the
‘old’ Madonna of Borderline with the ‘new’ Madonna of Live To Tell. The
cover dates from the Borderline era, probably because the April issue
already had a recent picture.

HITKRANT
Just one month after Rolling Stone put this photo on their cover, it was
seen on Hitkrant as well. It has some similarities with the photo
session that Herb Ritts did for the sleeve for Papa Don’t Preach (see
also the previous issue of Hitkrant, amongst others), but this one was
made by Matthew Rolston. The inside story is the first part on Madonna’s
life so far, again with several pictures from the early days.

The second Dutch cover this year to use a photo that Herb Ritts made for
the Papa Don't Preach sleeve. Readers are offered to congratulate
Madonna on her 28th birthday, by collecting birthday wishes and mail
them all together to Madonna. A bit late, since the magazine was issued
in September, and Madonna celebrated her birthday on 16 August.

CD MAGAZINE
This magazine was launched to make the public more familiar with the
compact disc, at that time a new phenomenon. Since the cd became popular
in a short time, the magazine lasted only a few issues. ‘Madonna
verandert alles in goud’ (Madonna turns everything into gold) is a
reference to the huge sales (cd and vinyl) of her Like A Virgin and True
Blue albums.

TOP 10
A unique cover photo, since it was made in Holland. In January 1984,
Madonna visited Europe while promoting her first album. Wearing a
fishnet-like shirt and a star-shaped earring, she did a photo session in
Amsterdam for renowned Dutch photographer Kees Tabak. Almost every
picture from this session has been published, often on magazine covers,
including another Top 10 (July 1987).

POP FOTO
Holland's second cover magazine ever! Compared to Hitkrant, Popfoto was a more glossy magazine (it no longer exists) aimed at teenage girls. This explains the cover story: Beauty tips from Madonna. "Wil je net zo mooi zijn als Madonna? Aan jou vertel ik mijn geheim" means "Do you want to be as beautiful as Madonna? I will tell you my secrets", but I doubt if Madonna even spoke to one of the magazine's journalists. The cover photo is nice though.

This photo is very similar to the one that Popfoto used for their July
issue. The magazine itself is also similar to Popfoto, aimed at
teenagers in general. Apparently they ran out on stories on Madonna, so
they asked other artists what they think of Madonna. Not too great, but
it makes a nice cover.
