Madonna is the debut album by American singer Madonna, released on Jul 27, 1983. After having established herself as a singer in downtown New York City, Madonna was signed by Sire president Seymour Stein due to the success of her debut single, "Everybody" (1982). She became the sole writer for most of the album's tracks & chose Reggie Lucas as its primary producer. Unhappy with Lucas's production outputs, she invited John "Jellybean" Benitez to complete the album, who remixed three tracks & produced "Holiday". Madonna has an upbeat synthetic disco sound, using new technology of the time, including the Linn drum machine, Moog bass & Oberheim OB-X synthesizer. She sang in a bright, girlish timbre, with lyrics about love & relationships. To promote the album, Madonna performed one-off gigs in clubs & on television in the United States & United Kingdom throughout 1983 & 1984, followed by The Virgin Tour in 1985. 5 singles were released, including the international top-10 hits "Holiday", "Lucky Star" & "Borderline". Madonna peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 & was certified 5-time platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipment of 5 million copies across the United States. It reached the top 10 of the charts in Australia, France, Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden & the United Kingdom & sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. The album received generally favorable reviews from music critics & was ranked 5th 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 & for pointing the direction for numerous female artists of the 1980s.
