While the single was meant as a send-up of mid-80s commercialism and greed, the single quickly flew up the charts around the world, hitting No. 2 in the U.S. and top five status internationally. At one point during "Material Girl's" U.S. chart run, it was joined by "Crazy For You" in the U.S. top five, a rarity in the chart world. "Material Girl's" music video was almost as notorious as the song itself. Which led Madonna to receiving her first "Best Female Video" nomination at the 1985 MTV Video Music Awards.
