LOS ANGELES – Madonna is reissuing LIKE A PRAYER this summer to celebrate the acclaimed album’s 35th anniversary. Pressed on opaque silver vinyl, it will be the second release from the Silver Collection, a series of limited-edition vinyl reissues celebrating 40 years of Madonna’s illustrious career. The Silver Collection debuted last year with True Blue and will continue to spotlight other Madonna albums in the coming months.
LIKE A PRAYER (THE SILVER COLLECTION) will be released on September 6, 2024. Orders placed on Rhino.com and Madonna.com will receive an exclusive poster featuring Herb Ritts’ iconic black-and-white photograph of Madonna from the album’s back cover.
Originally released on March 21, 1989, LIKE A PRAYER was an instant classic, hailed by critics and adored by fans. It was Madonna’s fourth studio release and one of the most personal albums of her career. The title track became Madonna’s seventh No. 1 hit and was recently certified double platinum by the RIAA, while “Express Yourself” and “Cherish” both peaked at No. 2. It was Madonna’s third consecutive No. 1 album, topping the Billboard 200 for six weeks, her longest stay at No. 1. A massive international success, the album has sold 15 million copies worldwide and remains a favorite among fans.
The album also features Madonna’s collaboration with Prince, who co-wrote and sang on “Love Song” and played guitar (uncredited) on “Like A Prayer” and “Act Of Contrition.”
