- Madonna (Louise Ciccone)
was born on August 16, 1958, in Michigan. Madonna
grew up in a suburb of Detroit with her father,
step-mother and 7 siblings - Madonna's mother
died of cancer when Madonna was 5. In the
mid-80s, Madonna burst onto the worldwide music
scene and remains one of the biggest music
personalities in the world. Although often
criticized for less than supreme vocals, Madonna
continues to amaze and entertain fans with her
dancing, imaginative videos, and captivating
antics. The world has watched Madonna's
"metamorphism" over the years: pop
queen, struggling actress, MTV maven, record
company developer, successful actress, and
mother. Whatever role Madonna has played, it can
not be disputed that she has always put 110% into
her craft. Madonna is able to portray her
sexuality and femininity while still maintaining
an empowering image of control (which is rare in
music and set the framework for other powerful
female artists). In the late 70s, Madonna began
her entertainment career modeling and dancing
with the Alvin Ailey dance troupe in New York
with hopes of becoming a ballet dancer. Madonna
then worked with Patrick Hernandez
and became a member of the Breakfast Club for a
short time playing drums and then singing lead.
- After leaving the Breakfast Club and
forming a short-lived band named Emmy, Madonna
recorded some dance tracks that eventually led
her to being signed with Sire Records 2 years
later.
- With a record deal with Sire
Records, Madonna's music finally hit the club
scene with the track "Everybody."
- Madonna's club hits
continued with the track "Physical
Attraction."
- July 27: The 3rd dance song
released, "Holiday," was crossing over onto pop
radio, and Madonna's debut LP, Madonna, was released. Even though
the LP got off to a slow-start, it went on to
sell millions copies and was later named one of Rolling
Stone magazine's 100 Best Albums of the 80s.
- August: Madonna was certified platinum.
- Madonna had 2 additional #1 hits,
"Crazy For You" from the film Vision
Quest,
and "Material Girl," as well as three
Top 3 hits.
- Madonna also had to
contend with 7 year-old nude photos of her
published in Penthouse and Playboy
magazines, along with a low-budget film she had
done 6 years previously, A Certain Sacrifice.
Although Madonna did not want the photos
published, there was little impact on her rising
popularity.
- Madonna's success had
expanded worldwide, and she appeared at Live Aid
in Philadelphia, toured worldwide with The Virgin
Tour, and married actor Sean Penn (the couple was
divorced 4 years later) - all by the end of the
summer.
- October: Madonna was certified 3x platinum.
- October 5: Madonna topped the
Billboard Dance/Disco 12" Singles Sales
chart for 4 weeks with "Dress You Up."

touch did not help her next movie with her
husband, Sean Penn: Shanghai
Surprise.
- June: Madonna appeared
on the cover of Rolling Stone.
- June 7: Madonna topped the
Billboard Hot 100 chart for 1 week and Hot 100
Airplay chart for 3 weeks with "Live To Tell."

Blue,
which gave her three more #1 hits, "Live To Tell," "Open Your Heart," and "Papa Don't Preach." The LP also gave
Madonna critical success in addition to the 7
million copies sold in the U.S.
- November: True
Blue
was certified 3x platinum.

Videocassette of the Year (The Virgin Tour).

Billboard Adult Contemporary chart for 1 week
with "La Isla Bonita."
- June 14: Madonna kicked off her
'Who's That Girl World Tour' in Japan.

Blue
continued to dominate pop radio, but Madonna had
another commercial disappointment with the film Who's
That Girl - the title song however went to #1
and the Who's That Girl Tour was successful.
- July: Like
A Virgin was certified 7x platinum.
- December: Madonna released the
dance remix LP, You

R&B, and adult contemporary elements into her
music.
- March: Madonna appeared on the
cover of Rolling Stone.

with "Like A Prayer."
- October 7: Madonna topped the
Billboard Adult Contemporary chart for 2 weeks
with "Cherish."

by storm when she began her worldwide Blonde
Ambition tour. The tour was accompanied by a
successful role in Dick
Tracy
and the release of I'm
Breathless (with songs inspired from the film)
which contained the classic dance #1, "Vogue" and sold over 2 million
copies in the U.S.
- May: I'm
Breathless also contained the hits
"Hanky Panky" and was hailed by Rolling
Stone: "...Madonna pulls it off with
brass and panache..." All three ventures
were successful, but it was the tour that
established Madonna as a musical force quickly
becoming legendary. The Blonde Ambition tour was
different than typical live shows by
incorporating much more dancing and more
theatrical themes running through different sets
of songs.

Breathless was certified 2x platinum.

boyfriend, Carlos Leon.
- August: Freddy DeMann announced
that he was stepping down as Madonna's manager, a
job he has held since Madonna became a household
name 14 years ago. Although the move may appear
detrimental to the pop icon's career and signify
problems, it is actually a sign of her creative
success. DeMann is actually changing his job to
focus all his efforts on Madonna's record label,
Maverick Records. The company has seen a surge of
success in recent years with the likes of Alanis Morissette, Me'Shell
NdegéOcello, and Prodigy. Madonna's co-manager,
Caresse Norman, will take over as her manager.
- September 4: Madonna took aim at
tabloids at the MTV Video Music Awards in
response to the death of Princess Diana by
stating "... it's time for us to take

after gossip and scandals and lies and rumors, to
live vicariously through other people's
misery...until we change our negative behaviors,
tragedies will continue to occur."
- March: Madonna's next LP Ray
Of Light was released. Madonna told
columnist, Liz Smith, "It's truly the album
I'm the most proud of in my entire career. I may
even go back to my club roots and perform some of
the songs." After much promotion and
critical acclaim, the LP debuted at #2 with an
impressive 371,000 copies sold (while the Titanic
soundtrack continued its reign at #1). Madonna
hit the Top 10 and #1 with "Frozen."
- March: In an interview with the Los
Angeles Times (appearing March 1st), Madonna
expressed her desire to have more children:
"Oh, yes, I would love to have a brother or
sister for Lola. I don't know when, but it'll
happen. . . . There's a song on the album called
'Nothing
Really Matters,' and it was very much inspired by
my daughter. It's just about realizing that when
the day is done the most important thing is
loving people and sharing love, so of course I
want more of that love in my life."
- March: Madonna's Ray
Of Light couldn't topple the Titanic
soundtrack in the U.S., but she did hit #1 in

Ray
Of Light, Madonna appeared on The Oprah
Winfrey Show at the end of the month for a
candid interview: On the "new
Madonna," she stated: "I've grown
up a lot... I've learned a lot. I feel like when
my daughter was born, I was born again... I had a
lot of rage and anger I had to work out through
the years. It's not about regret... I had to go
through what I had to go through to get where I
am now." On fame: "Just
surviving 15 years of being famous is a feat
itself. It isn't until you become famous that you
realize how superficial it is - it's a
by-product, not a goal." On her past:
"I wasn't really thinking - I was just
doing... It's like 'who is that?'... (it's) like
me 5 lifetimes ago." On working out:
"No more pumping iron... no more
Stairmasters - I'm gym-free! I found a yoga
teacher... and it changed my life." On
the death of Princess Diana: "I
realized... that we're all responsible - who's
too blame? we are... it was a big slap in the
face to humanity." On Lola (Lourdes):
"I'd like to give my daughter the
friendship... of a mother... which I didn't
have." On her clothes: "I never
wear anything twice that I've been photographed
in... because then people will think I'm
pathetic."

Williams, Steve Hiam, Anthony Walsham) ("Frozen") and was nominated

performance angered Hindus due to her facial
markings, suggestive clothing, and on-stage
antics. The World Vaishnava Association said,
"Madonna's MTV stage performance, which
combined Eastern mysticism with Western hedonism,
did not sit well with sincere Hindus, Vaishnavas
and yoga practitioners around the globe."
Madonna said in a statement: "The essence of
purity and divinity is non-judgment... they
should practice what they preach... if they're so
pure, why are they watching MTV?"

News: "I don't want to get too attached
to the idea of whether I'm going to win or not...

and homogenized... If [Music] happens, it might mean
that people are ready for something
different."

nominations: "Since when is offensive
language a reason for being unpopular? I find the
language of George W. (Bush) much more offensive.
He's stirring things up, he's provoking a
