United States (1982 – present)
Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone Ritchie (born August 16, 1958 in Bay City, Michigan, United States), known as Madonna, is a dance-pop singer-songwriter, record and film producer, dancer, actress, author, fashion icon, wife and mother. She is noted for her ambitious music videos and stage performances as well as using political, sexual, and religious themes in her work.
In 2000, Guinness World Records listed Madonna as the most successful female recording artist of all time, with estimated worldwide sales of 120 million albums; in 2005, her record company credited her as having sold over 200 million albums worldwide. Madonna is one of the highest earning female singers of all time according to both the 2007 Guinness Book of Records and Billboard Magazine. Forbes magazine has estimated her net worth at $325 million. In addition, Madonna’s 2006 Confessions World Tour holds the record for the highest-grossing concert tour ever by a female artist.
After signing to Sire Records in 1982, her debut single “Everybody” was released in October of the same year. One year later, her debut album “Madonna” followed, and since then hits such as “Holiday,” “Like a Virgin” and “Like a Prayer” catapulted her to massive success. By the 1990s, her commercially successful albums, constantly reinvented image, groundbreaking music videos and controversial nature would earn her the title “Queen of Pop.”

In my opinion Madonna is overrated. Her voice is not as good as other female artists (Winehouse or MacDonald) and the sound/music is sometimes a little bit "stupid". Don't get me wrong - I don't want to troll or flame...
