About Madonna

The most successful female recording artist of all time, Madonna is a once in a lifetime musical icon. Having worked across almost every genre, including Rap/Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B, Movie Soundtracks, and Rock, she has done it all and constantly remained at the forefront during her 25 year + career. After moving from her native Michigan to New York City, Madonna arrived with her second album, Like A Virgin, with the title track spending 6 weeks at the top of the Billboard charts. The song, and Madonna, were immortalized by her now historic wedding dress performance at the MTV Video Music Awards (a performance recreated some 20 years later by Britney Spears and Christina Aguilerra.) From this beginning, Madonna would go on to sell over 200 million records worldwide and the top earning female singer in the world, worth nearly $500 million. Madonna has more certified singles than any other artist in the US, including 12 #1s, 37 top 10 (more than any other artist, including Elvis), and 48 top 40 hits. She has influenced practically every female artist who is performing today including Rihanna, Fergie, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Lady GaGa, and Demi Lovato, as well as international artists like BOA and Utada Hikaru. She has worked with several of today’s most popular artists as well including Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, and Missy Elliot.
