Madonna's 'Like A Prayer' is making a major comeback thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine

For the first time in thirty-five years, Madonna's Like A Prayer is climbing the charts again - thanks to Marvel's latest blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine.

Starring Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds as the lead superhero characters, Deadpool & Wolverine has proved to be a massive hit in cinemas, recently passing one billion in sales.

Naturally, the film's massive success has led to a huge uptick in the popularity of Madonna's 1989 hit which featured extensively in the film’s official trailer and in the movie.
