The album is primarily new wave-based, with many of the songs being influenced by synthpop and pop rock. Upon its release, the album received positive reviews from music critics, who noted Lauper's unique vocals. Lauper earned several awards and accolades for the album, including two Grammy Awards at the 27th Grammy Awards, one of which was for Best New Artist. She's So Unusual peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 chart and stayed in the chart's top forty for 65 weeks. It has sold over 6 million copies in the United States and 25 million copies worldwide. This makes it Lauper's best-selling album to date and one of the best-selling albums of the 1980s. In 2003, She's So Unusual was ranked at number 494 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, and it subsequently placed at number 184 in a 2020 reboot of the list. In 2019, the album was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodflowers. Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Was watching performances Cyndi was doing for Tonight Shows in 1983 and she was so unique, different and fun. She was truly, well... unusual! She was so talented when performing live and that surprised me, she really sang well, she danced, she played instruments, she was all colorful. Wish a popstar would act this way today. She gave off vibes like she is one of your friends on TV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was 30 years old and had been playing in a bunch of bands prior to so she could make some connections. 80s Pop just hits different to today's Pop and I think part of the reason is because there were a lot more full grown adults with life experience and musical knowledge crafting these songs/albums vs. how it is now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally. She had a full-fledged and unique musical identity already formed. That comes through on the record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
