I have never heard those long albums as containing a sequence of EPs. I only considered "side A" or "side B" to be separate paths SOMETIMES. | |

Madonna was ready to release "Like a Virgin" during the Summer of 1984, but Borderline just started taking off in the Midwest after its original peak. Then, stations started playing "Lucky Star" and it was a guaranteed hit, so Warner Brothers had to release it. I wonder what would have happened if Warner Brothers kept milking that first album. Would Madonna still become as big of a star? I think the timing of the "Like a Virgin" release is important to Madonna's career. | |

I remember hearing Holiday in the clubs in late 1983, I didn't know who it was. I thought is was band, like the SOS band or something. | |

Awesome, awesome album - one of her best and one of the best debuts ever, IMO. "Burning Up" is still my favorite Madonna track. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

Madonna tweeted, " Madonna’s first album enters Billboard’s TOP 200 Albums chart. Remember the first time you saw the album in stores?" " don’t really care so much what people say about me because it is a reflection of who they r." | |

The album didn't sell well initally, and it only sold 3 million by the end of 1985, her second album sold double that by the end of 1985. The singles of the album sold well. But the market in the US was at the crossroads, of changing into more of an albums marktet back in 1983. MJ, Prince, Lionel all sold over 10 million...Cyndi sold 4 m, Madonna 6 m, Tina 5m. Then the big debut came Houston 8 million, with 9 by the end of the decade. Paula Adbul 7 m, Mariah Carey 9 m.... PPl were waiting for 3 hits singles and then albums started to really sell. By the end of the decade (1989) the RIAA lowered the certification level of a gold single to .5 million from 1 million. | |

Yeah,what a cool position to be in you have to delay your second album because the first one starts selling like hotcakes | |

I would love if more artists had their eight-song albums ready to release as soon as the last album starts to plummet. | |

I've always been under the impression that this record and 1999 were crucial in defining and influencing the sound of the 80's, and to some extent the sound of dance music for many more years to come. IDK, maybe I give too much credit to Madonna (the album not the artist), but it seems to me that there was a before and an after.
