Madonna - Like a Virgin

Madonna's look and manner of dress, performances and music videos, became influential among young girls and women. Defined by lace tops, skirts over capri pants, fishnet stockings, jewelry bearing the Christian cross, and bleached hair, it became a female fashion trend in the 1980s.

Madonna' follow up album, Like a Virgin, became her first number one album on the United State albums chart; its commercial performance was buoyed by the success of its title track, "Like a Virgin", which reached number one in the United State with a 6 week stay at the top.

This Madonna' album sold 12 million copies worldwide, eight of which in the U.S. Madonna performed the song at the first MTV Video Music Awards, wearing her then-trademark "Boy Toy" belt. Like a Virgin is listed by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the Definitive 200 Albums of All Time.
