The third full-length studio album by legendary American Nu Metal band.
Linkin Park's first studio album produced without Don Gilmore, who had produced the band's two previous albums. It was produced by vocalist Mike Shinoda and legendary producer Rick Rubin.
Minutes To Midnight marked the beginning of deviation from their signature Nu Metal sound. The album takes its title from the Doomsday Clock symbol; and it is also the band's first full-length album to carry a Parental Advisory label.
Linkin Park decided to embrace the inevitable and jumped headfirst into maturity on "Minutes To Midnight", which meant that poor Mike Shinoda was effectively benched, Rapping on just two songs. In many ways, it seems like even the guitarists were benched this time around, since Minutes to Midnight doesn't really Rock, it broods. Apart from a handful of ringers ("Given Up," the Shinoda-fueled "Bleed It Out," easily the best, most visceral track here) this is quiet, atmospheric stuff, dabbling with electronic textures that were cutting edge in 1996 but sound passé now. Also sounding passé are the tortured musings of lead singer Chester Bennington, who still is tormented by love, loss, family, any number of items that sound convincing coming from a man in his early twenties, but not so much so when the thirties are approaching rapidly. And yet the way Bennington and his mates, shepherded by producer Rick Rubin, try to sound mature isn't always convincing, either, possibly because it sounds like a Skate Punk uncomfortably trying on his big brother's suit. They have the chops to Rock, and when they deign to do so on "Minutes To Midnight" they sound comfortable, they sound right, but too often they run away from this core strength which was on the previous band's albums.
The album debuted at number one in the US Billboard 200 and in 15 other countries, including the United Kingdom and Canada. In the United States, the album had the biggest first week sales of 2007 at the time, with 623,000 albums sold, going on to be certified five times Platinum in the US. It has sold more than four million copies in the US. It was ranked number 154 on Billboard's Hot 200 Albums of the Decade. Despite its commercial success, "Minutes To Midnight" received mixed reviews from critics. Rolling Stone Magazine, however, named it the twenty-fifth best album of 2007.

The second full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Soft Metal guitarist and singer.
Ford's second solo release after leaving The Runaways in 1979, "Dancin' On The Edge" features the debut of her new backing band, featuring drummer Randy Castillo, who would soon join Ozzy Osbourne's band, and bassist Hugh McDonald, who later joined Bon Jovi (McDonald had previously played with Jon Bon Jovi in the All Star Revue, the group that recorded the hit "Runaway"). It was her final release with Mercury Records, as she departed to sign with RCA Records in 1987.
"Dancin' On The Edge" surpassed the success of Ford's debut album, "Out For Blood", in both sales and airplay. It reaching No. 66 of the US Billboard 200 chart. Music videos for the Singles "Gotta Let Go" and "Dressed to Kill" received heavy rotation on MTV during the summer of 1984. "Gotta Let Go" was a minor hit in England, reaching #94 on the UK Singles Chart. The music video for "Dressed to Kill" featured a cameo from Ford's then-fiancée, Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. The album was also nominated for a Grammy Award in category of Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Ford toured relentlessly in support of the album for most of 1984, culminating in a pre-Headbangers Ball concert special recorded for MTV.

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary Japanese Heavy Metal band.
Loudness were the first Japanese Metal act signing a record deal outside their native country in the early eighties. The band was started by guitarist Akira Takasaki, bassist Hiroyuki Tanaka and drummer Munetaka Higuchi. They were technical wizards with guitars and drums, way ahead of their time and very underrated. "Lightning Strikes" is their second album sung in the English language.
The album is known as "Shadows Of War" in Japan, where it was released on March 24, 1986. The tracks are in a different order, and the song "Ashes in the Sky" is known as "Shadows of War". There is also a slight difference in some vocal melodies and arrangements, most notably an extended musical outro to "One Thousand Eyes".
The 1985 album "Thunder In The East" may have introduced Japanese Metalheads Loudness to America, but "Lightning Strikes" was the album that introduced America to Loudness. Their first album conceived specifically for the U.S. market, "Lightning Strikes" was overseen by veteran Metal producer Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth), who helped the band incorporate more commercial elements into their classic Metal sound for the first time.
The album begins with the most commercial sounding song on the album, "Let It Go." However, the rest of the album is in a heavier mould, and is in a relatively similar style to the previous album, "Thunder In The East". Lyrics for the album are credited to Loudness, even though producer Max Norman did a lot of uncredited work on them.
The band's transformation is a resounding success. And thanks to the phenomenal guitar acrobatics of the ever-reliable Akira Takasaki, "Lightning Strikes" rates as Loudness' best American-made album, and one of the best albums of the band. After it's release on July 25, 1986, the album remained 15 weeks in the U.S. charts, peaking at #64 at Billboard 200.

The debut Single by legendary Dutch Pop group.
The song "You're The Greatest Lover" was the group's international breakthrough as it was successful in a large part of Continental Europe, Israel, and South Africa. Luv' reached its peak with this million-seller. "You're the Greatest Lover" is often considered the signature song of the female Pop act.
"You're the Greatest Lover" was a #1 Hit Single in the Netherlands, Flanders (Belgium), Germany, and Switzerland. The Spanish version of the song, "Tu Eres Mi Mejor Amante", also hit the number-one spot in Spain.
The Single was also successful in Austria and to a lesser extent in France, Finland, Israel, and South Africa. Because of the good performance in the above-mentioned territories, the record reached the 5th position of the Europarade (currently the European Hot 100 Singles), which combined the weekly charts of various European countries into a Single countdown.
According to a special issue of Billboard about the German recording industry published on December 8, 1979, the Single sold 650 000 copies in the Federal Republic of Germany (where it turned Gold). It also sold 80 000 copies in France and 150 000 copies in the Netherlands (Platinum certification). More than one million units of the record were sold worldwide.
A decade later, Philips' German subsidiary reissued the track as a CD Single. In 1993, the Dutch Top 40 hit "Megamix '93" was backed with a Eurodance remix of "The Greatest Lover".
The Single from the debut full-length studio album, “With Luv'”.

The debut full-length studio album by cult American Heavy/Glam Metal band.
Originally formed by two sisters (one from them, Roxy Petrucci, later left the band to join Vixen), the band also featured male members including future Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach (was a third vocalist for Madam X, after releasing this album)!
"We Reserve The Right", the only album by this 80's band, generated a minor buzz back in the eighties, with their somewhat Glammy image and simple, hook-laden anthemic Hard Rock songs. Completely over the top in every ridiculous Hair Metal cliched way, but as far as party-friendly Glam Metal goes, this one's a real keeper!  The lyrics are so moronically awesome believing they were written with a straight face, but singer Bret Kaiser delivers them awesomely sincere and the band rocks hard and shreds sweet, including the foxy Petrucci sisters Roxy and Maxine on drums and guitars respectively.  Most of the songs are so undeniably catchy that they are nearly impossible to resist if you have a spot for huge Hair Metal anthems!
Fist-pumping Rock & Roll anthems in the vein of Kiss, Twisted Sister, Van Halen, early Mötley Crüe and AC/DC with Great Kat-like guitar pyro-technical shredding! High-energy big-stage club Metal with tons of street-cred!!

The ninth full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
The album, produced by Madonna and Mirwais Ahmadzaï, features references to many parts of American culture. It is a concept album, with themes of the American Dream and materialism. These themes reject the reputation Madonna held in the 1980s, earned by songs such as her worldwide hit "Material Girl" (1985).
The album contains Folk and Folktronica music, as well as influences of acoustic music.
"American Life" initially received mixed reviews; critics found the record confusing and "about Madonna". Retrospective reviews have been much warmer, with critics noting the album's consistency as well as acknowledging Madonna taking a risk musically.
After its release, "American Life" debuted at number one on the United States Billboard 200 chart with 241,000 copies sold in its first week. The sales were less than Madonna's previous studio album, "Music", which debuted with 420,000 copies in 2000, but was the only one that week to sell over 200,000 copies. It was Madonna's second consecutive number one debut, and her fifth number one album overall in the US.
In Canada, the album debuted at the top of the Canadian Albums Chart with sales of 18,000 copies on May 10, 2003. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the sum was considerably less than her previous studio efforts, "Ray Of Light" (1998) and "Music" (2000), which debuted with 59,000 and 50,000 copies respectively.
In the United Kingdom, "American Life" debuted atop the UK Albums Chart, with sales of 65,013 copies, much less than the opening sum of 2000's "Music", which debuted with sales of 151,891 copies. It was present for a total of 19 weeks on the chart, ranking at number 52 on the UK year-end tally.
The album peaked at number one in fourteen countries. In European countries, the album topped the charts in Austria, Belgium (Flanders), Belgium (Wallonia), Denmark, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and British Phonographic Industry (BPI) both certified it Platinum in recognition of 1,000,000 shipments in the United States, and 300,000 shipments in the United Kingdom, respectively. It gained a Platinum certification one month later from the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA), for shipment of 100,000 copies of the album. In Japan, the album peaked at number four on the Oricon Weekly Albums chart remaining there for 13 weeks, and went on to gain a Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) that same year, for shipping 100,000 copies of the release. In Australia the album peaked at number three, before descending rapidly down the ARIA Albums Chart. Nevertheless, it gained a Platinum certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipping 70,000 copies. The album also gained Platinum certifications in countries such as France, Russia, and Switzerland, and Gold certifications in Brazil, Greece, and the Netherlands.
Overall, "American Life" became the 32nd best-selling album of 2003, with 5,000,000 copies sold worldwide. "American Life" garnered two nominations at the 46th Grammy Awards in 2004. However, it became the third lowest selling studio album by Madonna behind her 2012 release "MDNA" and her 2015 release "Rebel Heart", with sales of 680,000 copies as of October 2012, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
This double LP issued in a matte gatefold sleeve with generic die-cut inner sleeves with rounded corners. Although correctly spelled on the label, "Nothing Fails" is misspelled as "Nothing Falls" on the sleeve.

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 second Single from the fourth full-length studio album, “Like A Prayer”, by legendary American Pop singer.
The Single was released on May 9, 1989, with "The Look of Love" on its B-side, from the 1987 film soundtrack "Who's That Girl".
When Madonna started work on "Like A Prayer", she considered many options, and thought about the musical direction for it. She had certain matters on her mind, including her troubled relationship with her husband Sean Penn, her family, her lost mother and even her belief in God. Madonna thought about lyrical ideas for the songs on topics that, until then, were personal meditation, never to be shared with her public so openly and pointedly. She came to the realization that as she and her fans were growing up, and it was time for her to move away from the teen appeal to wider audiences, and en-cash on the longevity of the album market. Madonna wanted her new sound to be calculative and indicative of what was fashionable, and ride the changing trend of music.
"Express Yourself" was the first song that Madonna and co-producer Stephen Bray collaborated on for "Like A Prayer". Written and produced by them, the song was a tribute to American Funk and Soul band Sly & The Family Stone. The main inspiration behind the song is female empowerment, urging women never to go for second-best and to urge their partners to express their inner feelings.

It had a total budget of $5 million ($12.29 million in 2023 dollars), which made it the most expensive music video made up to then, and currently the third most expensive of all time.
Commercially, the song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Madonna's eighth number-one hit on the European Hot 100 Singles chart. It also reached the top of the Singles charts in Canada and Switzerland, and the top five elsewhere. "Express Yourself" was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in August 1989, for shipment of 500 000 copies of the Single across the United States. In Canada, the song debuted at number 82 on the RPM Singles Chart and reached the top in its ninth week. It was present on the chart for 17 weeks and was the eighth best-selling Canadian Single for 1989. In Australia, "Express Yourself" was certified Gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipment of 35 000 copies of the Single. At the year-end charts of ARIA, "Express Yourself" was the 28th best-selling Australian Single of 1989. In the United Kingdom, "Express Yourself" was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), for shipment of 200 000 copies of the Single.
The song was included on the greatest hits compilation albums "The Immaculate Collection" (1990), "Celebration" (2009) and "Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones" (2022).

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.
