Madonna has sold more than 300 million albums in her career since debuting with her self-titled release in 1983.
Do you know science has proven that Madonna is one of the most influential people in history? Yes, you read it right...hisssstoryyyyy. Let me preach you on this. Ready? If you are Gaga's fans...please run or start shoveling the snow. I'm not going to preach about that reductive piece of
cr*p Xerox machine/wannabe jazz singer who wears dead donkey meat or pile of garbage on her head trying to score "the most twitter followers" award. Don't worry. Every now and then you gotta slap that stupid Stefanie Germahakunamantata tr*nny with hard facts (damn!, her name is hard, y'all).
OK, I'm here to talk about icons. Real, organic and genuine cultural icons. The list was compiled by researchers at several European Universities using a similar system that Google uses to evaluate top search results, they applied it to Wikipedia to discover the most influential people. On the list Madonna's position is higher than Jesus, Beethoven, Mozart, Pope (Benedict XVI), Alexander (The Great), Darwin and Obama. According to on section of their findings, the most influential woman in the world is Madonna, who is ranked at #3. If you don't believe me, GTS yourself. Google that sh*t !!!
As of October 2013, Madonna had sold an estimated 305,600,000 albums. Her best-sellers are The Immaculate Collection (1990, 30 million copies sold) and True Blue (1986, 25 million copies sold). It is acknowledged that only The Beatles, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson have conclusively sold more albums worldwide than Madonna. Among female artists, Mariah Carey (USA), Celine Dion (Canada) and Whitney Houston (USA, 1963-2012) all have total worldwide album sales estimated at 200 million units.
Madonna is the undefeated Queen of the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play Singles Chart with no less than 43 #1 singles. The Sticky & Sweet Tour was the top grossing tour ever for a solo artist, grossing over $400 million. Across the pond, Madonna has the most #1 albums in the UK for a solo artist (12) and had more hits on the UK charts than any other female artist, among which 13 #1 hits and 62 Top 10 hits. Madonna currently hold 11 Guinness world records including "Hung Up" song topping the charts in the most countries, at 41 and Confessions on a Dance Floor album topping the charts in most counties at 40.
The real definition of slay is right here, people. Don't let Mariah or Gaga's fans deceive you with lies and deceptions. The real Queen of Pop is right here. The one and only Madonna.
Last but not least, the big question... When will YOUR FAVE?
