Madonna ... LIKE A VIRGIN (1984)
But what Madonna did expect was to become an even bigger star in November of 1984, over a year after the release of her first album. Madonna became a pretty big star when she released her first album entitled, MADONNA, in July of 1983. In November of 1984, Madonna released her second album entitled, LIKE A VIRGIN. Now, this album has the same style and sound as the first album, with Madonna continuing to dress up in the same style as she did for the first album, but in this situation, it did not matter, for Madonna was still very fresh and new, and because the fans did not care, since this album went on to become Madonna's first #1 album (Billboard Hot 200).

MATERIAL GIRL
The album's second single. This song may have hit the #2 position (Billboard Hot 100), but that doesn't mean that this song wasn't a huge hit for Madonna. This song is supposed to be Madonna stating that most women in the world are very materialistic, always wanting jewelery and furs and new dresses, and such. Madonna even pointed out the song's message in the music video, where she dressed up as 60s icon, Marilyn Monroe.

ANGEL
The album's third single. This song is one of Madonna's greatest and I am disappointed to know that a great song like this was never a hit.

LIKE A VIRGIN
The album's first single. This was Madonna's first-ever #1 hit (Billboard Hot 100). It was the song, just like the album, that made Madonna an even bigger star. This is one of the greatest songs Madonna has ever recorded. Madonna has even decided to sing this song on her CONFESSIONS TOUR.

OVER AND OVER
A great song with a great message, telling us to get up "Over And Over", if we are knocked down while trying to achieve our goals in life.

LOVE DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE
Great.

DRESS YOU UP
The album's fourth & final single. What I love about this song is how Madonna, through words and sense of fashion, talks about how much she loves her boyfriend, telling him that, ". . . Gonna DRESS YOU UP in my love. . . ".

SHOO-BEE-DOO
This is one of Madonna's prettiest ballads. I love that sax solo in the middle of the song.

PRETENDER
Not bad.

STAY
Not bad.

This album has proven that Madonna is here to stay. No matter what those airhead critics think or say, Madonna will remain the Queen Diva. This album shows that to us all, whether you are a fan or not.


Love Madonna
It is a classic. This is probably my favorite Madonna album. It is everything great about Madonna, the 80's and pop music rolled into one great album. .


THE ALBUM THAT MADE MADONNA AN ICON
I remember how the title track rocked the world along with its video. "Like a Virgin" honestly is not my favorite album from Madonna, but I do remember it vividly as a kid, it was the first time I noticed Madonna, this beautiful, playful, spunky young lady with the confidence to match. Other songs on the album that I remember well are "Dress you up", "Over and Over", "Angel" "Material Girl" and "Pretender". This is the album that made Madonna into an MTV Pop Icon, a classic.


Has to be one of the worst albums for all time!
My ears started to bleed when i actually heard her start to sing. Honestly, Like a Virgin? Come on this crap is terrible. Her vocals back then were terrible. Also, the beats were really crappy as well. These songs are pointless, not very deep, and it's almost as bad as her recent album hard candy. Get into the the groove is actually a pretty good single, but other then that all of this album was terrible. If you like teen bubblegum pop then this is for you. Other then that i would seriously not waste two cents on this album!.


Like a Virgin
Other tracks that stand out on this realeas are Love does not live here anymore and Into the groove. Like a Virgin being Madonna's 1984 and her 2nd studio album was her major breakthrough with such major hits as Like a Virgin and Material Girl. The booklet is really nice with two fine photographs of Madonna looking very stylish in different outfits. The lyrics are very easy to read and it has a nice list of whom played and what they played on each track. 4/5.
