The third Single from the second full-length studio album, “Like A Virgin”, by legendary American Pop singer.
"Angel" became the singer's fifth consecutive top-five Single on the US Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top of its dance charts. It was also able to reach number-one in Australia and the top-five of the charts in Canada, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
On July 30, 1985, "Angel" and "Into the Groove" were together certified Gold by the RIAA for the shipment of one million copies across the United States (the requirement for a Gold Single prior to 1989). It was the first 12-inch Single to be certified Gold, since Frankie Smith's "Double Dutch Bus" (1981).
"Angel / Into The Groove" placed at number 81 on the year-end chart for 1985, with Madonna becoming the top Pop artist for the year.

The third re-release of the fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
The first album of Madonna's career to bear Parental Advisory label, "Erotica" was banned in several Asian countries, such as China and Singapore. The album was released simultaneously with Madonna's first book publication "Sex", a coffee table book containing explicit photographs featuring the singer, and marked her first release under Maverick, her own multimedia entertainment company.
Ten years after signing her first recording contract with Sire Records, Madonna founded her own multimedia entertainment company, Maverick, consisting of a record company (Maverick Records), a film production company (Maverick Films), and associated music publishing, television broadcasting, book publishing and merchandising divisions. The deal was a joint venture with Time Warner and paid Madonna an advance of $60 million. It gave her 20% royalties from the music proceedings, one of the highest rates in the industry, equalled at that time only by Michael Jackson's royalty rate established a year earlier with Sony. She stated: "It started as a desire to have more control. There's a group of writers, photographers, directors and editors that I've met along the way in my career who I want to take with me everywhere I go. I want to incorporate them into my little factory of ideas. I also come in contact with a lot of young talent that I feel entrepreneurial about". The first two projects from the venture were her fifth studio album, "Erotica", and a coffee table book of photographs featuring Madonna, entitled "Sex".
"Erotica" is a concept album about sex and romance, incorporating her alter ego "Mistress Dita", inspired by actress Dita Parlo. Some of its songs also take on a more confessional tone, influenced by the loss of two of Madonna's close friends to AIDS.
Musically, the album mixes Dance, Electronica, Hip Hop, Deep House, Ambient Techno and R&B, and incorporates elements from classic Disco, modern House, Techno and New Jack Swing.
Commercially, the album was less successful than Madonna's previous albums, peaking at number 2 on the US Billboard 200, becoming her first studio album not to top the chart since her debut. Internationally, it topped the charts in Australia, Finland, and France, and peaked within the top five of several other countries such as Canada, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
Somewhat overlooked at the time of its release in part due to the backlash surrounding the "Sex" book, Erotica has been retrospectively considered one of "The 100 Best Albums of the 1990s" by Slant Magazine and one of the most revolutionary albums of all time by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Many critics have since noted the album's influence on the works by female artists such as Janet Jackson and Beyoncé.
In the United States, "Erotica" debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 on November 7, 1992, with first week sales of 167,000 copies. It was eventually certified Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of two million units. In Canada, the album debuted at number seven on the RPM Albums Chart on November 7, 1992. It reached a peak of number four on November 21, 1992. The album was present for a total of 38 weeks on the chart, and was certified two times Platinum by Music Canada (MC) for shipments of 200,000 copies.
"Erotica" performed well in Latin America, mainly in countries where she toured for the first time. In Argentina, the album received four-times Platinum from the Cámara Argentina de Productores de Fonogramas y Videograma (CAPIF) for shipments of 240,000 copies. Similarly, in Mexico, "Erotica" achieved sales of 250,000 units according to Billboard. The album received a Gold certification from Pro-Música Brasil, denoting shipments of 100,000 units. Actual sales in Brazil stand at 180,000 copies, as of October 1993.
Across Europe, "Erotica" sold 1.5 million copies in the first week and topped the European Top 100 Albums chart. In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart on October 24, 1992. It remained at its peak at number two for three weeks. The album was certified two times Platinum on June 1, 1993, by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for shipments of 600,000 copies. In France, the album debuted at number one on the French Albums Chart on October 28, 1992, staying there for two weeks, then descending the chart, selling a total of 250,000 copies by May 1993. In Germany, the album reached the top five on the Media Control Charts and was certified Gold for shipments of 250,000 copies. In Italy, "Erotica" sold 250,000 copies in its presales. In Sweden, the album debuted at its peak of number six and spent only seven weeks on the chart. Similarly, in Switzerland, "Erotica" peaked number five and was certified Gold by IFPI Switzerland. It also received a Platinum certification in Spain and sold 150,000 units there as of 1993. By November 1992, the album sold 350 copies in Iceland.
The album also attained success in Asia-Pacific countries. In Australia, "Erotica" entered the ARIA top 100 albums chart at number one, and was certified Triple Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipments of 210,000 copies. It also reached the top five on the New Zealand Albums Chart. "Erotica" reached a peak of number five on the Japan Oricon Albums Chart, and received a Double Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for shipping 400,000 copies. At the 7th annual Japan Gold Disc Awards, Madonna was awarded the RIAJ's Artist of the Year with sales totalling ¥844 million throughout the year, an equivalent of $6.5 million ($12.19 million in 2021 dollars). Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) also awarded "Erotica" as the "Top Selling English Album of 1993". Initial shipments in Singapore were 20,000 units, and quickly managed to sell 37,000 copies as of November 18 of that year. In total, "Erotica" has sold more than six million copies worldwide.

The third Single from the debut full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
The label wanted to release "Lucky Star" as a stand-alone single, but changed their mind after "Holiday" began receiving heavy radio play and reached the first spot of Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart.
Initial pressings didn't feature an image of the singer on the cover – this was an intentional move from the record company, as they wanted to play with that idea and didn't want the public to find out Madonna wasn't black.
For its initial 1983 release, "Holiday" was backed with "I Know It", "Think of Me", or "Lucky Star", depending on the territory and format.
In the United States, "Holiday" it was considered Madonna's breakthrough, peaking at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, and reaching number one on the Dance Club Songs chart. It found success outside North America as well, reaching the top-ten in Australia, Belgium, Germany and Ireland, among others.

The second soundtrack album by legendary American Pop singer.
The album contains accompany songs to the film "Dick Tracy". It includes three songs written by Stephen Sondheim, which were used in the film, in addition to several songs co-written by Madonna that were inspired by but not included in the film. Madonna starred as Breathless Mahoney alongside her then-boyfriend Warren Beatty who played the title role, Dick Tracy. After filming was complete, Madonna began work on the album, with Sondheim, producer Patrick Leonard and engineer Bill Bottrell. She also worked with producer Shep Pettibone on the album's first single, "Vogue". The album was recorded in three weeks, at Johnny Yuma Recording and Ocean Way Studios, in Los Angeles, California.
Musically, I'm Breathless consists predominantly of Jazz, Swing and Pop songs. The tracks reflected Madonna's showgirl personality and were influenced by her relationship with Beatty. The singer wanted to create music that would fit the style and production of the film, set in the days of the Untouchables law enforcement, and sang the songs accordingly. In some areas she pitched her vocals and belted the notes when necessary. She smoked cigarettes in order to portray the vocals of her character Breathless. Beatty and singer Mandy Patinkin were featured as duet partners on three of the songs.
"Vogue", the first Single from "I'm Breathless", became one of Madonna's most successful releases, reaching number one in over 30 countries. It was also critically acclaimed and was seen as an influential song, while the video helped to bring vogueing into mainstream popularity. The second and final Single, "Hanky Panky", was a top-ten hit in the United States and the United Kingdom.
"I'm Breathless" was commercially successful, peaking at number one on the European Top 100 Albums, as well as the national charts of Australia, Germany, and Japan (in the latter it became the country's best-selling foreign album of the year). It also reached number two on the US Billboard 200 chart and was certified double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. "I'm Breathless" has sold more than seven million copies worldwide.

The fifth Single from the second full-length studio album, “Like A Virgin”, by legendary American Pop singer.
Written and produced by both, Madonna and Stephen Bray, featured on the 1985 film "Desperately Seeking Susan", the main inspiration behind the song was the dance floor; the singer wrote it while watching a Latin American man to whom she was attracted. Its instrumentation features synthesizers and drum machines, with Madonna's voice being double tracked on the chorus. Sexual innuendos and undertones are present throughout the lyrics, which are written as an invitation to dance with the singer. Originally written for her friend Mark Kamins, Madonna later decided to use it on the film, as one of the scenes needed a dance song.
Due to contractual label reasons, "Into the Groove" was not included on the official "Desperately Seeking Susan" soundtrack, but was instead added to the 1985 international (non-US) re-issues of Madonna's second studio album, "Like a Virgin" (1984).
Warner Bros. Records did not officially release "Into the Groove" as a commercial Single in the United States, making it ineligible to enter the Billboard Hot 100. It was only released as the B-side to the 12" Maxi-Single "Angel", the third official Single from "Like A Virgin" album, and reached the first spot of Billboard's Hot Dance Singles Sales chart.
In the United Kingdom, "Into The Groove" was released on July 15, 1985 and became Madonna's first number one hit and remains her best-selling Single. It debuted at number 4 on the UK Singles Chart on July 27, becoming the highest debuting Single for any female artist in the chart's history at the time. It peaked at number one the week of August 3 and remained there for four weeks (it spent 14 weeks on the chart overall). During its stay at number one, the re-release of "Holiday" reached the chart's second spot, thus Madonna became the first female artist in UK chart history to hold the top two positions simultaneously. "Into The Groove" was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for shipment of 500 000 copies. It was the year's third most successful Single, behind Jennifer Rush's "The Power of Love", and Elaine Paige's and Barbara Dickson's "I Know Him So Well". With sales of over 957 000 copies, including physical, downloads and streaming, "Into The Groove" is Madonna's best-selling Single in the United Kingdom as of August 2018.
It was also successful throughout Europe, topping the charts in Austria, Ireland, Italy, and the Netherlands. Critically acclaimed since its release, "Into the Groove" was voted the best Dance Single from the 1980s decade in a Billboard poll, and has been cited by multiple publications as Madonna's best Single.
No official music video was shot for "Into the Groove". Instead, a clip consisting of compiled scenes and footage from "Desperately Seeking Susan" (the lyrics matching the images and scenes) was put together by Doug Dowdle from Parallax Productions, a company that specialized in movie-related music videos during the 1980s. It was added to MTV on the week of March 30, 1985.

"Like a Prayer" became Madonna's seventh number-one hit on the ..
The first re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
Madonna had hits with her first album, even reaching the Top Ten twice with "Borderline" and "Lucky Star", but she didn't become a superstar, an icon, until her second album, "Like a Virgin". Following the success of her self-titled debut album, Madonna wanted to become the record producer of her next album. However, her label was not ready to give her the artistic freedom to produce the album, and she chose Nile Rodgers, former Chic guitarist (due to his work with David Bowie), to help her expand her sound, and then carefully constructed her image as an ironic, ferociously sexy "Boy Toy". Madonna wrote six songs on the record, five of which feature Steve Bray as a co-writer.
While not a substantial musical departure from Madonna's first album, she felt that the material from "Like A Virgin" was stronger. After its release, "Like A Virgin" received mixed reviews from music critics, but was a commercial success. It became Madonna's first number one album on the Billboard 200 and set the record as the first female album in history to sell over five million copies in the United States. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) later certified it Diamond for shipment of ten million units. It also reached number one in Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain and the United Kingdom, and remains one of the best-selling albums of all time with sales of over 21 million copies worldwide!
Track "Into The Groove" was not included on the original version of this album. It was added to the European reissue and its presence is advertised by a round blue sticker on the sleeve.

The fourteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
The album was creatively influenced by Madonna's expatriate life in Lisbon, Portugal, after relocating there in summer 2017.
Madonna co-wrote and co-produced the album with a number of musicians, including Mirwais, Mike Dean, and Jason Evigan. It also features guest appearances by Maluma, Quavo, Swae Lee, and Anitta.
All four Singles of the album ("Medellín", "Crave", "I Rise" and "I Don't Search I Find") reached the top spot on the Dance Club Songs in the United States, extending Madonna's record as the artist with the most number-one songs on a singular Billboard chart, with a total of 50. The album also featured two promotional Singles: "Future" and "Dark Ballet".
It also topped the charts in Argentina as well as Portugal and reached number-two in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
"Madame X" debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 95,000 album-equivalent units, of which 90,000 were pure album sales. It became Madonna's ninth number-one album in the United States. Madonna also topped the Billboard Artist 100 chart for the first time since its launch in 2014.
In February 2022, almost three years after its release, the album was certified Silver in the UK.
Madonna has had to endure a lot in her career, and "Madame X" shows us she’s still strong, empowered and never going to stop. From Latin-inspired dance beats to power-driven melodies to downright craziness, the record might not be her most coherent, but it was never meant to be. It’s meant to be the sound of a woman still loving music and someone who can create whatever the hell they want to! It’s an album for herself as much as for her fans, and shows up many of the artists today who just go with the latest flavour. Fair play, Madonna, you’ve created another great record!!

The debut full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
After having established herself as a singer in downtown New York City, Madonna was signed by Sire Records' president Seymour Stein, due to the club success of her debut Single, "Everybody" (1982). She became the sole writer for most of the album's tracks, and chose Reggie Lucas as its primary producer. Unhappy with Lucas's production outputs, Madonna invited John "Jellybean" Benitez to complete the album, who remixed three tracks and produced "Holiday".
To promote the album, Madonna performed one-off gigs in clubs and on television in the United States and United Kingdom throughout 1983 and 1984, followed by The Virgin Tour in 1985. Five singles were released, including the international top-ten hits "Holiday", "Lucky Star", and "Borderline".
"Madonna" peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200, and was certified five-times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipment of five million copies across the United States. It reached the top 10 of the charts in Australia, France, Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. The album was ranked 5 on Entertainment Weekly's list of the "Top 100 Best Albums of Past 25 Years" in 2008. The album has been credited for setting the standard of Dance-Pop for decades afterward, and for pointing the direction for numerous female artists of the 1980s.
