Flashback: 30 Years Ago Today...

On October 6th, 1982, Sire Records released a 12" vinyl of Madonna's very first single, "Everybody". While the song wouldn't go on to set the charts on fire, it was an important stepping stone into what would become a legendary music career. "Everybody" marked Madonna's very first appearance on any Billboard chart when it debuted on the Dance/Disco chart (now known as the Club Play chart) on November 6, 1982, a chart in which she still dominates even today!

"I was living on the Upper West Side, 99th and Riverside, and about 7:00 at night I had the radio on in my bedroom, on WKTU, and I heard 'Everybody'. I said 'Oh, my God, that's me coming out of that box.' It was an amazing feeling." —Madonna

"Everybody" would go on to peak at #7 on the Bubbling Under chart on January 22, 1983.
