PunkTheFunk 124,176 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 @Thomas P's "Madonna album rank" thread just reminded me that the Queen of Pop's debut album MadonnaĀ turns 35 on July 27! Some fast facts about the album: šĀ The album had five singles: Everybody (released in 1982), Burning Up, Holiday, Lucky Star, and Borderline (the last threeĀ were successful international top 10 hits) šĀ It debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at #190 in September 1983, and eventually peaked at #8 in October 1984. šĀ ItĀ went 5x platinum in the US, and sold 10 million copies worldwide šĀ According to Wikipedia, it was recorded usingĀ "new technology of the time, including theĀ Linn drum machine,Ā Moog bassĀ andĀ Oberheim OB-X synthesizer" šĀ Critics now claim that this album "launched dance-pop,Ā and set the standard for the genre for the next two decades". However, when it was first released, some reviewers said she sounded like "Minnie MouseĀ on helium". In response to this, Madonna "did a photoshoot with Alberto Tolot, where she flirted with a giantĀ Mickey MouseĀ toy, putting its hand inside her dress and looking at it with an admonishing glare" Happy Birthday to an iconic album! Give it a listen if you've never done so before! Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
