Answer: Like A Virgin

While the other three songs were popular in Madonna's early years, none of them would reach the number one spot. "Like A Virgin" was released on October 31, 1984 off of her second album "Like A Virgin". It would spend one week at the number one spot that year. Various cover versions of the song have been released over the years including recordings by Teenage Fanclub, The Lords of the New Church, and The Meat Purveyors. Weird Al Yankovic recorded a parody in 1985 called "Like A Surgeon".

From Quiz Madonna Trivia

Answer: Gambler

"Gambler" is one of Madonna's early tunes that manifests her danceable side. It is also one of the rare songs Madonna wrote on her own. She wrote a lot of her early tunes such as "Lucky Star" on her own. Madonna co-wrote and co-produced the majority of her hit songs throughout her long, distinguished career. "Gambler" is from the 1985 motion picture "Vision Quest", which starred Matthew Modine and which Madonna has a cameo in, as a club singer. Even though it ranks up as one of the best of her early songs, not many people know about "Gambler" like they do about a myriad of Madonna's hits. That's because "Gambler" wasn't released as a single.

From Quiz Madonna's Albums

Answer: Madonna

"Madonna" was Madonna's first album. The album was simply self-titled. In 1984 or 1985, the album was re-released in Europe with the title, "The First Album". I have heard that in late 1982, after the success of Madonna's very first single, "Everybody", (which was included on the album), Madonna was scheduled to release the first album under the name, "Lucky Star". The album's front and back covers even had different photos. But the release held until July of 1983, since Madonna decided to use different photos, and change the album's name to simply, "Madonna".
