When was Madonna’s debut album released?

Madonna is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Madonna, released on July 27, 1983, by Sire Records. After having established herself as a singer in downtown New York City, Madonna was signed by Sire president Seymour Stein, due to the club success of her debut single, "Everybody". She became the sole writer for most of the album's tracks and chose Reggie Lucas as its primary producer. Unhappy with Lucas's production outputs, she invited John "Jellybean" Benitez to complete the album, who remixed three tracks and produced "Holiday".

I remember Cyndi Lauper's debut at almost the same time. I was so sure Lauper would be the bigger star between the two. I couldn't have been more wrong.

I did not think that it was as early as 1983, but the link shows that i was wrong. Perhaps Mary and Steve should click on it. The 1984 album claimed is "Like a Virgin" which is actually her 2nd album!
