       In May 1982, Madonna began to record her debut album independently, until she was discovered and signed to Sire Records in October, and also Warner Bros. Records shortly thereafter. 

       That month, "Everybody" was released as the lead single.  In March 1983, "Burning Up" was released as the second single, and in April she finished recording.  Her album was initially titled, "Lucky Star", and artwork was produced, however the project later became self-titled. 

       In July, "Madonna" was released worldwide, and in October, "Holiday" was released as the third single.  In February 1984, "Borderline" was released as the fourth single, and in August, "Lucky Star" became the fifth and final single.

       The album charted at #8, while its singles charted as follows: "Everybody" (#107), "Holiday" (#16), "Borderline" (#10) and "Lucky Star" (#4), making the former title track the biggest hit off of the album.  "Burning Up" did not chart.

        In May 2001, the album was remastered and re-released.
