Madonna - Like A Virgin • Released on Like A Virgin in 1984 • Composer: Billy Steinberg Tom Kelly • #madonna • #likeavirgin • #mtv • #80s • Like a Virgin is the second album by American singer and songwriter Madonna, released on November 12, 1984, by Sire Records. Following the success of her self-titled debut album, Madonna chose Nile Rodgers to produce the album due to his work with David Bowie. Madonna wrote six songs on the record, five of which feature Steve Bray as a co-writer. The album was recorded at Power Station Studio in New York at a quick pace. Rodgers enlisted the help of his former Chic bandmates Bernard Edwards, who was the bassist, and Tony Thompson, who played drums. Jason Corsaro, the record's audio engineer, persuaded Rodgers to use new digital recording methods. • The album's photographs were shot by Steven Meisel. Some critics felt the art made a link between her own religious name Madonna, as the Catholic title for Jesus' mother Mary, and the Christian concept of the virgin birth. 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; however, retrospective reviews of the album have been much more positive. Like a Virgin was a commercial success and 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, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom, and remains one of the best-selling albums of all time with sales of over 21 million copies worldwide. • Five singles were released from the album, including Madonna's first US number-one Like a Virgin and her first UK number-one Into the Groove , the latter of which was introduced on the 1985 international reissue of the album. To promote the album, she embarked on The Virgin Tour, touring North America only. Like a Virgin has attained significance as a cultural artifact of the 1980s. Madonna proved that she was not a one-hit wonder and was able to provide herself with a permanent footing in the music world. Her songs became a lightning rod for both criticism by conservatives and imitation by the younger female population, especially Material Girl and Like a Virgin . According to author J. Randy Taraborrelli, Every important artist has at least one album in his or her career whose critical and commercial success becomes the artist's magic moment; for Madonna, Like a Virgin was just such a defining moment. • In 2023, the album was selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. • Lyrics: • I made it through the wilderness • Somehow I made it through • Didn't know how lost I was • Until I found you • I was beat • Incomplete • I'd been had, I was sad and blue • But you made me feel • Yeah, you made me feel • Shiny and new (Hoo) • Like a virgin • Touched for the very first time • Like a virgin • When your heart beats • Next to mine • Gonna give you all my love, boy • My fear is fading fast • Been saving it all for you • 'Cause only love can last • You're so fine • And you're mine • Make me strong, yeah you make me bold • Oh your love thawed out • Yeah, your love thawed out • What was scared and cold • Like a virgin, hey • Touched for the very first time • Like a virgin • With your heartbeat • Next to mine • Whoa • Whoa, ah • Whoa • You're so fine • And you're mine • I'll be yours • 'Til the end of time • 'Cause you made me feel • Yeah, you made me feel • I've nothing to hide • Like a virgin, hey • Touched for the very first time • Like a virgin • With your heartbeat • Next to mine • Like a virgin, oh oh • Like a virgin • Feels so good inside • When you hold me • And your heart beats • And you love me • Oh oh, oh • Oh oh oh
