It’s Madonna’s birthday, so let’s revisit her first single… that was never actually released
Madonna was born on 16 August, 1958. She’s the most successful female music artist of all time in terms of records sold, with an unbeatable string of chart hits over a 40-year-plus career.
Ask any diehard Madge fan about her first single and they’ll point you to “Everybody” in 1982. It went to No. 3 on the US Dance Chart.
Her big breakthrough hit “Holiday” came a year later in 1983. However, things could have worked out very differently.

Bray was Madonna’s boyfriend from Michigan who moved with her to New York. The two briefly had a band called The Breakfast Club.
