Often referred to as the “Queen of Pop”, Madonna (née Madonna Louise Ciccone) has been named the Best Selling Female Rock Artist of the 20th century by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). She has released many chart-topping albums and singles since her eponymous debut album in 1982, and tied with Elvis Presley’s record of 36 top 10 hits, the most in the history of the Billboard Hot 100.
She is a singer-songwriter, dancer, record and film producer, actress, film director, and author.
Madonna is known for her controversial depictions of religion and sexuality in her songs, videos, books and concert tours.
She is the mother of two children, Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon (father: Carlos Leon), and Rocco John Ritchie (father: Guy Ritchie). She was also married to actor Sean Penn in the 1980s. |

| Quotes: “There is nothing rebellious about today's sounds, and music needs to be rebellious!”
“If you take everything I do at face value, you're going to be horrified. Or intimidated. Or insulted. Or bored.”
“I sometimes think I was born to live up to my name. How could I be anything else but what I am having been named Madonna? I would either have ended up a nun or this.” |
