Album Introduction
Like a Virgin is the second studio album by Madonna, born Madonna Louise Ciccone in Bay City, Michigan, released in November 1984 on Sire Records and produced by Nile Rodgers of Chic. The album reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart, selling over 21 million copies worldwide and establishing Madonna as one of the most commercially dominant and culturally significant pop artists of the decade. Like a Virgin reached US No. 1 and UK No. 3, Material Girl reached US No. 2 and UK No. 3, Angel reached US No. 5 and UK No. 5, and Dress You Up reached US No. 5 and UK No. 5. The UK edition includes Into the Groove — which reached UK No. 1 — in place of Shoo-Bee-Doo. Love Don't Live Here Anymore is a cover of the Rose Royce 1978 classic. Rodgers' production gives the album a warm, funk-influenced pop sound that perfectly suits Madonna's vocal personality and commercial instincts, and the ten tracks demonstrate the full range of her appeal — from the driving dance-pop of the title track to the more reflective Over and Over and Stay.
Stand-Out Tracks
- Like a Virgin — One of the most immediately recognisable and commercially dominant pop singles of 1984; Madonna's vocal — playful, confident and completely assured — gives the song a combination of innocence and knowing sophistication that made it one of the most culturally resonant recordings of the decade. US No. 1. UK No. 3.
- Material Girl — A driving, melodically irresistible pop track with a lyric of romantic pragmatism and a production of complete commercial precision; its combination of Rodgers' funk-influenced production and Madonna's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained energy and cultural impact that has made it one of the most enduring recordings of her career. US No. 2. UK No. 3.
- Into the Groove — The UK edition's most immediately joyful and rhythmically irresistible track; a driving, dance-floor-oriented pop song that gives the album one of its most energetic and immediately compelling moments and became Madonna's first UK No. 1 single. UK No. 1.
- Angel — A warm, mid-tempo pop track that gives the album one of its most melodically generous and emotionally direct moments; Madonna's vocal is completely assured and Rodgers' production gives the song a contemporary sheen of complete commercial precision. US No. 5. UK No. 5.
- Love Don't Live Here Anymore — Rose Royce's 1978 classic, given a slow, atmospheric reading that demonstrates Madonna's ability to inhabit a lyric of romantic loss with complete vocal conviction and emotional directness beyond the purely commercial register of the album's singles.
