Madonna - Queen of Pop

According to Rolling Stone, Madonna "remains one of the greatest pop
Madonna Queen of Pop acts of all time". She has been dubbed the "Queen of Pop" and listed by Guinness World Records as the world's most successful female recording artist of all time.

On March 10, 2008, Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the first year she had been eligible for the honor. Billboard magazine ranked her as the most successful solo artist (second artist overall, behind only The Beatles) on the "Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists".

She is also the most successful female solo artist in the British chart history, with the most number-one albums and number-one singles. Madonna is featured in the book 100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century, published by Ladies' Home Journal in 1998.

In July 2003, VH1 and People magazine listed her as seventh in the "200 Greatest Pop Culture Icons of All Time."

In 2006, a new water bear species called Echiniscus madonnae, was named after her. The paper with the description of E. madonnae, was published in the international journal of animal taxonomy Zootaxa in March 2006 (Vol. 1154, pages: 1–36). The Zoologists commented: "We take great pleasure in dedicating this species to one of the most significant artists of our times, Madonna Louise Veronica Ritchie." The Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) number of the species is 711164.

Bravo Madonna!!!

Madonna had to build a school just for girls, because part of Malawi's population is Muslim. I believe that soon, she will build a school just for boys. I think she was right. We have to respect the culture of any country.
