  • Like a Virgin is the second studio album by American recording artist Madonna, released on November 12, 1984 by Sire Records. It was re-released worldwide in 1985, with the bonus track "Into the Groove". In 2001, Warner Bros. released a remastered version with two bonus remix tracks. After the release and the success of her self-titled debut album, Madonna wanted to solidify her future in the music business, by building on the success of the first album. However, she decided to become one of the record producers, feeling the need to control the various aspects of her music. Nile Rodgers was chosen as the primary producer of the album, due to his work with David Bowie. The album was recorded at Power Station Studio in New York at a quick pace. Rodgers assisted the help of his former Chic band mates Bernard Edwards, who was the bassist, and Tony Thompson, who played drums; they appeared on several tracks of the album. Rodgers decided to be the guitarist, when Edwards requested him to do so, in exchange of their help. Jason Corsaro, the record's audio engineer, persuaded Rodgers to use digital recording, a new technique at the time which Corsaro believed was going to be the future of recording because test pressings always sounded consistent. Madonna was always present during the recordings, and believed that the songs on the album were stronger, compared to her debut album. The cover sleeve and images were shot by Steven Meisel. Madonna wanted the album title and the cover image to make provocative link between her own religious name Madonna, as the Roman Catholic title for Jesus' mother Mary, and the Christian concept of the virgin birth. Like a Virgin is not that much of a musical departure from the first album, but the material is stronger. Along with Rodgers, Madonna also collaborated with her former boyfriend Steve Bray, who co-produced majority of the songs on the album. Consisting of dance-pop oriented music, the songs also incorporated New Wave music. After its release, Like a Virgin received mixed reviews from the critics, but was a commercial success. It became Madonna's first number one album on the Billboard 200, while reaching the top of the album charts in Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain and the United Kingdom. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified it diamond, for shipment of ten million copies across the United States. Worldwide it has sold 21 million copies, becoming one of the best-selling albums of all time. Five singles were released from the album, with the title track and "Material Girl" becoming worldwide hits and "Into the Groove" becoming her first number-one single in the United Kingdom. To promote Like a Virgin, Madonna embarked on her first concert tour—The Virgin Tour—which travelled in cities of North America only. Like a Virgin has attained significance as a cultural artifact of the 80s. Madonna proved that she was not a one-hit wonder and was able to establish herself as a musical force to be reckoned with. 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".

  • Like a Virgin (Como uma Virgem, em português) é o segundo álbum de estúdio da cantora e compositora norte-americana Madonna, lançado em 12 de novembro de 1984 pela Sire Records. O álbum foi relançado fora do mercado norte-americano em 1985 com a faixa-bônus "Into the Groove". Ocupa a posição número 164 na lista dos 200 álbuns definitivos no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Like a Virgin vendeu mais de 25 milhões de cópias em todo o mundo.

  • Like a Virgin är Madonnas andra album, utgivet 1984. Detta album kom att bli Madonnas internationella genombrott. De främsta låtarna, vilka senare kom att släppas på singel, var "Like a Virgin", "Material Girl", "Angel" och "Dress You Up". Hiten "Into the Groove" fanns inte med ursprungligen när albumet gavs ut, utan lades till senare efter att den varit utgiven som singel. År 2001 gavs skivan ut på nytt med två remixar. "Weird Al" Yankovic har gjort en parodi på sången "Like a Virgin", betitlad "Like a Surgeon".
  • Like a Virgin — второй студийный альбом певицы Мадонны. Он достиг первой позиции в чарте поп-альбомов журнала Billboard и десятой в чартах R&B. Обновлённая версия альбома вышла в 2001 году. Две песни из этого альбома: «Like a Virgin» («Как девственница») и «Material Girl» («Меркантильная девушка») — стали хитами. После выхода в 1984 году песня 'Like a Virgin' вызвала много споров, тема, поднятая в композиции, и её исполнения были восприняты публикой очень неоднозначно. Первое исполнение песни произошло на первой ежегодной церемонии вручения наград MTV Video Music Awards. Во время выступления Мадонна каталась по полу в белоснежном свадебном платье, демонстрируя нижнее бельё и подвязку невесты, а на её талии был нацеплен пояс с надписью на пряжке «Игрушка для мальчиков» (англ. Boy Toy). (Этот пояс хорошо видно на обложке альбома Like a Virgin). Ричард Чиз (Richard Cheese) и Lounge Against the Machine сделали пародию на этот альбом, назвав своё творение «Как в девственницу» (англ. I’d Like a Virgin). Обложка копирует оформление альбома Мадонны, куда путём весьма посредственного фотомонтажа прилеплена фотография Ричарда Чиза, как будто обнимающего Мадонну. Группа The Horribly Awfuls в своём релизе 2003 года 'We Fight Like the Crips and Bloods' размещает кавер-версию песни. В своём фильме «Бешеные псы» Квентин Тарантино выражает свою точку зрения о значении заглавной песни.

  • Like a Virgin est le second album studio de l'artiste américaine Madonna, sorti le Modèle:Date sous le label Modèle:Lang. L'album est ré-édité dans le monde entier en 1985, avec la piste Modèle:Lang en plus. En 2001, Modèle:Lang sort une édition remixée avec deux pistes remixées. Après la sortie et le succès de son premier album, Madonna veut solidifier son avenir dans l'industrie musicale, en s'appuyant sur le succès de son premier album. Toutefois, elle décide d'être l'un des producteurs, sentant la nécessité de contrôler les aspects variés de sa musique. Nile Rodgers est choisi comme premier producteur de l'album, grâce à son travail avec David Bowie. L'album est enregistré au Modèle:Lang à Modèle:Lang en un temps rapide. Rodgers assiste à l'aide de membres de son ancien groupe Chic Edwards, qui est le bassiste, et Tony Thompson, qui joue de la batterie; ils apparaissent sur plusieurs pistes de l'albums. Rodgers décide d'être le guitariste, quand Edwars lui a demandé de le faire, en échange de leur aide. Jason Corsaro, l'ingénieur du son, persuade Rodgers d'utiliser l'enregistrement digital, une nouvelle technique à l'époque que Corsaro croit être l'avenir de l'enregistrement car les tests urgents sonnent toujours cohérents. Madonna est toujours présente pendant les enregistrements, et pense que les chansons de l'album sont puissantes, comparées à son premier album. La pochette et les images sont prises par Steven Meisel. Madonna veut que le titre de l'album et l'image de la couverture fassent un lien provocateur entre son nom religieux Madonna, qui est le nom catholique romain de la mère de Jésus, Marie, et le concept chrétien de la naissance virginale. Modèle:Lang n'est pas un départ musical du premier album, mais le matériel est plus important. Avec Rodgers, Madonna collabore aussi avec son ancien petit ami Steve Bray, qui co-produit la majorité des chansons de l'album. Comportant une musique orientée en Modèle:Lang, les chansons incorporent aussi de la Modèle:Lang et de la Modèle:Lang. Après sa sortie, Modèle:Lang reçoit des critiques mitigées de la presse, mais est un succès commercial. Il devient le premier album de Madonna numéro un dans le Modèle:Lang, tout en étant à la même place en Allemagne, Espagne, Italie, Nouvelle-Zélande, Pays-Bas et Royaume-Uni. La Modèle:Lang (RIAA) le certifie disque de diamant, pour la vente de dix millions d'exemplaires à travers les États-Unis. Il se vend à 21 millions d'exemplaires dans le monde, devenant l'un des albums les plus vendus de tous les temps. Cinq singles sortent pour l'album, avec la piste titre et Modèle:Lang devenant des tubes internationaux et Modèle:Lang devenant son premier numéro un au Royaume-Uni. Pour promouvoir Modèle:Lang, embarque dans sa première tournée - Modèle:Lang - qui la fait voyager dans les grandes villes d'Amérique du Nord seulement. Modèle:Lang atteint de l'importance comme un objet culturel des années 80. Madonna prouve qu'elle n'est pas une Modèle:Lang et est capable de s'établir en tant que force musicale pour être reconnue comme telle. Ses chansons deviennent un paratonnerre pour les critiques conservateurs et l'imitation par les jeunes femmes, spécialement pour Modèle:Lang et Modèle:Lang. Selon l'auteur J. Randy Taraborrelli, Modèle:Citation.

  • "Madonna is really sly when it comes to get what she wants. At one point, I had threatened to quit the project, because she had allegedly treated a studio hand unkindly, something I don't endorse. I was actually in the elevator and she walked up and smiled at me and said, 'Nile, I want to know one thing: Does this mean that you don't love me anymore?' And then we both started laughing. Then we both realized how ridiculous we were both being. That was it. We didn't have a serious fight after that.
  • "Like a Virgin is a much harder album, much more aggressive than the first record. The songs on that were pretty weak. On this one I've chosen all the songs and I want them to be all hits—no fillers. That's why I've done outside songs as well as six of my own... I wanted every song to be strong."
