On August 11 1987, Madonna’s True Blue album was certified 5x platinum (for shipment of 5 million units) in the USA.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted that “True Blue is the album where Madonna truly became ‘Madonna the Superstar’—the endlessly ambitious, fearlessly provocative entertainer that knew how to outrage, spark debates, get good reviews—and make good music while she’s at it.”
True Blue-a brilliant Detroit Madonna masterpiece-it contains my favorite song of all time, the sad ballad Live to Tell-a song that will live forever!
My favorite Madonna album, and contains several of my favorite songs. I think “Where’s The Party?” could’ve been a hit release too.
