Madonna Louise Ciccone (born in Bay City, Michigan, United States, on August 16, 1958), simply known as Madonna, is a American singer, actress and author of books.
Madonna now lives in the United Kingdom. She has made many albums over the years; some of the more famous ones are Like a Virgin, Like a Prayer, and Ray of Light.
She has also been an actress in many movies. She is a mother of two children, Lourdes and Rocco. She also recently adopted a Malawian child, David Banda. She has won six Grammy awards.
After the release of some dance hits she released her first album "Madonna" in 1983. The album was a great success. Her next album "Like A Virgin" (1984) sold over 6 million copies in the United States only. Her album "True Blue" caused was also very successful worldwide in 1986. Her album "Like a Prayer" caused controversy (some people thought that it was bad), as it had to do with Christianity. During the 80's Madonna was a huge fashion icon and was an idol for millions of girls. Songs like "Like a Virgin", "Material Girl", "Get Into The Groove", "Papa Don't Preach", "Holiday", "Lucky Star", "La Isla Bonita" and "Like a Prayer" are believed to be classics.
In 1990 she released her best selling album "The Immaculate collection" which sold over 23 million copies. She released a very innapropriate book called "SEX" in that year. Her album Erotica was a big hit but was criticised by some. In 1993 her album "Bedtime Stories" became another success for Madonna with a big #1 hit. She also played in the musical "Evita" which was very successful and released a soundtrack album of the same name. Her 1997 album "Ray of Light" is considered to be a masterpiece. Some of her most famous and classic songs of the 90's are "Vogue", "This Used To Be My playground", "Erotica", "Take a Bow", "Don't Cry for me Argentina", "He must love Me", "Frozen" and "Ray of Light".
In 2000 her album "Music" sold over 18 million copies worldwide helped by the global hit of the same name. She also released a successful Greatest hits album. Her 2003 album called "American Life" reached #1 in many countries but it was criticised by some (who thought of it as bad) as it was against war in Iraq. In 2005 her album "Confessions on A Dancefloor" helped by "Hung Up" and "Sorry" that reached #1 in 45 countries, sold 7 million copies. Ijn 2008 she released her album "Hard Candy" which reached #1 in almost every country in the world. Some of her most famous songs of the 2000's are "American Pie", "Music", "Don't tell Me", "Die Another Day", "American life", "Hollywood", "Hung Up", "Sorry" and "4 minutes".
Her album, Confessions on a Dance Floor, went to number one on music rating charts in many countries. Over the years she has sold 140 million albums and 230 million records.
Madonna released a new album named Hard Candy in April 2008. She made it with Timbaland and Pharrell Williams. The leading single is called '4 Minutes' and it is a duet with singer Justin Timberlake. They both sing in the song since it's a duet. The second single is called 'Give It 2 Me' and Madonna made it with Pharrell Williams. Third and last single will be 'Miles Away'.
Her tours during the 80's ("Who's That Girl Tour", "Blond Ambition Tour" etc) were very successful. Her 1993 "The Girle Show" Tour was very controversial (some thought of it as bad), but was a great success. the "Drowned World Tour" and the "Re-Invention Tour" were the most successful tours of their years. "the Confessions Tour" and "The Sticky and Sweet tour" are the two most successful tours of all time.
Madonna is considered to be (many think of her as) a gay icon.
