The audio was just a clip of tell the truth its at the bottom of the page 

This is awesome.  Apparently you can listen to clips, but I couldn't figure out how. 
 
Perhaps we should all contact the winner of these tapes and reels and chip in so we can all hear them! (Once the auctions have ended of course). 

Including cassettes and reel to reel from the breakfast club days

Records are made to be  broken.
But Madonna its not only sales and figures its impact on pop culture that nobody has and never will.

No one will ever be Madonna just as no one will ever be Taylor Swift.

She has number 1 records and songs, and high grossing tours.
Shes successful. No doubt about that.
But her artistry and creative expression is not in the same league. And there will always be that distinction. So no, she has not surpassed Madonna.

honestly, does anyone knows any of her songs besides Shake it off ? nope .
so I wouldn't worry, Madonna is safe from that insignificant crap .

I know we as a fanbase tend to almost gloss over Like a Virgin (and Material Girl) because it is so over played and over talked about but it truly is a perfect piece of pop craftsmanship.

Madonna's performance and Niles' production are amazing, I love that real instruments are used and that it isn't drowned in synths and gated drums like 99% of the pop music of time.
The song of course fits Madonna like a glove that the fact she didn't write it makes one wonder if it was sent from above because it had to happen. I love that she always twist the song inside out in every live performance giving yet a new meaning and dept to it, genius.

Like A Virgin (the song) turns 40 on October 31, (The album) on November 12.

It was such an iconic moment in Madonna's career when everything suddenly happened and she became the HIT girl!
It all started at the Keith Haring birthday party (called The Party of Life) on May 16 at The Paradise Garage New York where Madonna could already showcase both the title track and Dress You Up in an advance of 6 months to the actual release of the album delayed due to the late success of Lucky Star on the US billboard charts that August 1984.
 
So what follows that May 1984 is Madonna's face becoming more and more familiar to Mtv viewers which starts playing Borderline and Lucky Star non stop and interviewing her. Up until August 84 when Madonna attends a NYC music seminar immortalized by Mtv as well...
 
Finally up to September 14 1984 when the world would get face to face to Madonna's powerful sexy performance of Like A Virgin at the very first Mtv Video Music awards (well as we know we also got face to face to her panties!)
 
The Like A Virgin album produced by Chic's Nile Rodgers would be presented at a New York City party (guest would include Jean Michel Basquiat, Warhol, Keith Haring, John Jellybean Benitez Madonna's then boyfriend etc) on November 7, 1984 at the Private Eyes nightclub.

During December 1984 Madonna also took Uk by storm performing Like A Virgin on Top Of ThE Pops , but what would follow in 1985 would be a roar turning every girl on the planet into a Madonna wannabe filled with laces, bras, rubber bracelets and most of all crucifixes... the Madonna mania was just exploding taking Madonna to promote the album in Japan and in April to a North American tour (The Virgin tour).

Burning Up music video was released September 21-ish 1983 as reported in Billboard 28 September 1983 

Honestly while I appreciate the bothering asking ChatGPT, I wouldn't use that list at all, at least not without checking it one by one, something I personally myself have no intention to do now. xd

Nope, it was released after and actually as the last video and single from the album. She was so over the debut already and wanted to move on to "Like A Virgin" but the label convinced her to milk it just a little more. They even wanted her to perform "Lucky Star" at the VMAs 1984 but she went on with "Like A Virgin" instead (way long before the single was going to be released) and the rest is history.

In defense of AI, I have to point out that the results are often influenced by how we phrase our questions. As with any technology, being precise is key to getting the correct answer. In this case, the AI is clearly providing the release dates for the singles, not the music videos.

Wrong: the video was premiered May 17, 1989
