She's So Unusual was the debut album by American 1980s icon Cyndi Lauper. The album, released in 1984 (see 1984 in music), catapulted Lauper to stardom with such hits as "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", "She Bop" and "Time After Time". As of 2002 it has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide. The album peaked at #4 on the Billboard pop albums chart (US).
With a series of quirky videos, Lauper dominated MTV for several months. Her bizarre fashion, consisting of multiple layers of thrift store clothing and dozens of accessories, influenced fashion for the last half of the 1980s.
She's So Unusual received mixed reviews on its release (it's sole Grammy was for Janet Perr's Album Package). In recent years, however, the album has been re-appraised by the music media, and songs like "Time after Time" are considered pop classics.
