You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

Like a Virgin is the 2nd studio album by American singer Madonna, released on November 12, 1984, by Sire Records. Following the success of her 1983 eponymous debut album, Madonna was eager to start working on its follow-up. She selected Nile Rodgers to produce the album due to his work on Let's Dance (1983) by David Bowie, which she was a fan of. To ensure it be exactly as she envisaged it, Madonna chose all the songs for the album: she penned 5 of her own, 4 of which were co-written with former boyfriend and collaborator Stephen Bray, and 4 were written by other artists. Recording sessions took place at Power Station studio in New York City.
It became Madonna's 1st number one album on the Billboard 200, as well as the 1st female album to sell over 5 million copies in the US. The RIAA later certified it diamond for shipment of 10 million units. Overseas, it reached number one in Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Italy and the UK. With sales of over 21 million copies worldwide, Like a Virgin remains one of the best-selling albums of all time. In 2023, Like a Virgin was selected for preservation in the United States' National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress due to it being considered "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
