United States pop singer, Pop icon, author,

Madonna
is widely regarded as the Queen of Pop music.
According to Guinness Book of World Records
([1]) she is the "Most Successful Female
Solo Artist" in the World. Her popularity
and importance to pop culture is on the same
level as acts such as The Beatles and Elvis
Presley. Just as with those artists, Madonna's
influence can be seen in countless performers
today.
As
of December 2005, Madonna had 12 multi-platinum
albums certified by the RIAA (US), which, in
all, had certified her for shipments of 64
million units in USA. In a 2005 statement, her
record label, Warner Bros., said she had sold
more than 200 million albums and more than 75
millions singles worldwide.[2]. Madonna's
highest-selling albums in the USA are 1984's
Like a Virgin and 1990's The Immaculate
Collection; worldwide, 1986's True Blue
performed even better than Like a Virgin though.
Madonna
currently resides in Wiltshire, England with her
husband, film director Guy Ritchie, her
daughter, Lourdes (b. Lourdes Maria Ciccone
Leon, 14 October 1996) and their son, Rocco (b.
