Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 331/500!
Madonna's fourth studio album, Like A Prayer, co-produced with Patrick Leonard, hit #1 around the world upon its release in March of 1989. The album's title track reached the top of the singles chart in both the U.S. and U.K. and was followed by four more U.S. hits: "Express Yourself" (#2), "Cherish" (#2), "Oh Father" (#20) and "Keep It Together" (#8). "Dear Jessie" was also released as a single in the U.K. and hit #5.
The album's videos earned seven MTV Video Music Award nominations, including best video of the year ("Like A Prayer") and best female video ("Express Yourself"). In 1990, the video for "Oh Father," directed by David Fincher, won the Grammy for best short form music video. Like A Prayer has sold in excess of four million copies in the U.S., and another seven million internationally.
"In a voice full of Catholic angst and disco thunder, Madonna turned 30 and closed the book on her first marriage. 'I didnt have the censors on me in terms of emotions or music,' Madonna said. 'I did take a lot more chances with this one, but obviously success gives you the confidence to do those things.' The obligatory controversial video [Like A Prayer] featured burning crosses, black lingerie and masturbation in church." - Rolling Stone
