Madonna

1958 – 20??

Madonna Louise Ciccone is an American singer, songwriter, and actress widely known as the Queen of Pop and one of the most influential figures in the history of popular music. With more than 300 million records sold worldwide she is the best-selling female recording artist of all time according to Guinness World Records, and her continual reinvention—musical, visual, and thematic—across albums including Like a Virgin, Like a Prayer, Ray of Light, and Confessions on a Dance Floor has expanded the cultural and creative latitude available to women in pop. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.
