PunkTheFunk 121,511 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 It's been 33 years since Madonna's very first album debuted (on July 27, 1983) Some fast facts about the album:  The album entered the Billboard 200 in September 1983 at #190, and peaked at #8 about a year later (October 20, 1984 - more than a year and a half after its release)  It sold 2.8 million copies in the US within a year. To date it has sold about 10 million copies worldwide.  The album spawned five singles -- the most successful being "Holiday" (which was Madonna's first #1 on the US Dance Club Songs chart), "Lucky Star" (which peaked at #4 on the Hot 100), and "Borderline" (which peaked at #10 on the Hot 100)  Madonna has sole writing credits for 5 out of the 8 songs on the album ("Lucky Star", "Burning Up", "I Know It", "Think of Me", and "Everybody")  "Critics have retrospectively noted that the album helped popularize dance music in the mainstream recording industry" Spoiler which Gaga did again 25 years later "It pointed the direction for numerous female artists of the 1980s and set the standard for dance-pop for decades afterward." This is also my favorite Madonna era if anyone cares Listen to the whole album here:  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
