Madonna

Madonna (real name Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone) was born in Bay City, Mich., and raised in the suburbs of Detroit. Her birthday is Aug. 16, 1958, and her height is 5'4 1/2". Industry legend Seymour Stein signed her to Sire records in 1982, and she released her self-titled studio debut album in July 1983; the set debuted on the Billboard 200 in September that year, and peaked at No. 8. The album's third single, "Holiday," became her first Hot 100 song, peaking at No. 16. The Material Girl has since gone on to have numerous top 10 tracks over the decades, including "Like a Virgin" (No. 1 in 1984), "Vogue" (No. 1 in 1990), "Music" (No. 1 in 2000) and "Give Me All Your Luvin'" with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. (No. 10 in 2012). The music icon has also released multiple No. 1 albums, including 'Like a Virgin' in 1984, 'Like a Prayer' in 1989, 'Confessions on a Dance Floor' in 2005 and 'Madame X' in 2019. She counts Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and The Weeknd among her many collaborators. The Queen of Pop has won numerous Grammys, including best pop album and best dance recording (both for 'Ray of Light' in 1999, which also earned a nod for album of the year) and best electronic/dance album for 'Confessions on a Dance Floor' in 2007. In addition to her music career, she starred in films including 'A League of Their Own,' 'Dick Tracy,' and 'Evita,' with the last one earning her the best actress in a motion picture musical/comedy Golden Globe for her portrayal of Eva Peron.
