* CanonDiscontinuity: Madonna doesn't perform "Material Girl" during concerts anymore since the late 1980s, due to the Misaimed Fandom of the song and the way that the media and fans basically used the title as their ''de facto'' nickname for Madonna. Many people thought the song glorified consumerism and materialism, while she actually intended it as a satire. It was performed on the Re-Invention Tour, but only because she couldn't learn how to play the chords for "Dress You Up" in time, and the tour director (Jamie King) convinced her to put the song on the set list.

Produced With her second album, Madonna sought for some more creative independence--something [[Creator/WarnerBrosRecords Warner Bros. Records]] was not ready to surrender. She partially got around it by choosing Music/{{Chic}} guitarist Nile Rodgers, hot off the heels of Music/DavidBowie's megahit ''Music/LetsDance'' from the previous year, to assist with production. She was able to write half of the album, mostly with assistance from Stephen Bray.

The
album was Madonna's breakthrough, putting her in the American consciousness with hits such as "Into The Groove" (which was added to the 1985 re-release of the album), "Material Girl", and the TitleTrack. The last two would both become {{Signature Song}}s.

The album would ultimately top both the Billboard 200 and Official Charts Company album charts. It has sold 21 million copies worldwide, being certified Diamond by the RIAA, and triple-Platinum by the BPI.

The TitleTrack would be
her SignatureSong title track.
first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the album would see three singles go Top 5 on that chart. "Into the Groove" was disqualified from the Hot 100 since it was the B-side to "Angel", but did top the UK pop chart (her first #1 there) and the Billboard Dance chart.
