It was here that Madonna convinced the DJ Mark Kamins to play "Everybody". At that time she was frequenting the Danceteria nightclub in New York. She carried rough tapes of three of the songs, " Everybody", "Ain't No Big Deal" and " Burning Up". Meanwhile, she had written and developed some songs on her own. They decided to pursue the funk genre, but the record company was not happy with their musical talents and they were dropped from the label Madonna and Bray left the band also. Soon they abandoned playing songs in the hard-rock genre, and got signed by a music management company called Gotham Records, planning to move in a new musical direction. She was joined by her Detroit boyfriend Steve Bray who became the drummer of her band, the Breakfast Club, which played generally hard-rock music. In 1982, Madonna, aged 23, was living in New York, and trying to set up her music career. The album has been credited for setting the standard of dance-pop for decades afterward, and for pointing the direction for numerous female artists of the 1980s. The album received generally favorable reviews from music critics and was included in "The 100 Best Debut Albums of All Time" by Rolling Stone in 2013 saying that "it succeed in introducing the most important female voice in the history of modern music". It reached the top ten of the charts in Australia, France, Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. Madonna peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200, and was certified five-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipment of five million copies across the United States. Their accompanying music videos were released on the Madonna video compilation, which became the best-selling videocassette of 1985 in the United States. Five singles were released, including the international top-ten hits "Holiday", " Lucky Star", and " Borderline". To promote the album, Madonna performed one-off gigs in clubs and on television in the United States and United Kingdom throughout 19, followed by The Virgin Tour in 1985. She sang in a bright, girlish timbre, with lyrics about love and relationships. Madonna has an upbeat synthetic disco sound, using new technology of the time, including the Linn drum machine, Moog bass and Oberheim OB-X synthesizer. Unhappy with Lucas's production outputs, she invited John "Jellybean" Benitez to complete the album, who remixed three tracks and produced " Holiday". She became the sole writer for most of the album's tracks, and chose Reggie Lucas as its primary producer. 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" (1982). Me Against the Music ( feat.Madonna (retitled Madonna: The First Album for the 1985 reissue) is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Madonna, released on July 27, 1983, by Sire Records.
