Lucky Star

About Lucky Star

"Lucky Star" is a song written and recorded by American singer Madonna for her eponymous debut album Madonna (1983). Sire Records released it as the fourth single from the album on September 8, 1983. The song was produced by Reggie Lucas, but Madonna was not impressed by his final version. She called her then-boyfriend John "Jellybean" Benitez to remix the track according to her ideas. "Lucky Star" is a medium-paced dance track and combines the heavy beats of a drum with the sounds of a guitar played in a high riff. The lyrics juxtapose the male body with the heavenly stars in the sky. Music critics praised the song, heralding it as the introduction to upbeat dance music. In the United States, "Lucky Star" was released after the success of "Borderline". It peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first single in her record-breaking string of 16 consecutive top-five hits. It also topped the Dance Club Songs chart with "Holiday". Internationally, "Lucky Star" reached the top ten in Canada, and the top twenty in Ireland and the United Kingdom. more »
