You can call her Madonna or the Queen of Pop, but the fact is that this girl revolutionized the music business since she began her career in the 80’s.
Madonna broke stereotypes and basic molds when she embarked in the music business and has ever since taken artist’s creativity and expression to a whole new level, setting the pace for artists to come.
As a way of honoring Madonna’s legacy in the music industry, let’s enjoy her top 40 biggest Billboard hits throughout her career.
