In 1984, the song "Material Giri" hit the nation, and the album sold 2 million copies in just one month of going on sale. For Madonna, who has just debuted, at the age of 25, she has many achievements in the life of a singer.
To this day, the 65-year-old Madonna is still known as a generation of divas. But what many people don't know is that Madonna's life is also very "merry". For the anecdote of Madonna, let's start from the beginning.
Teenage years
Madonna was born in 1958 in a bay city near Detroit, USA. From a young age, she showed a love for music, often dancing to the record.
At that time, the United States was in the midst of a period of pop music development, which also gave rise to many dance training classes.
However, Madonna's initial stage was different, her debut was in front of her father, and the dance she performed was the controversial striptease.
These experiences also gave Madonna a beginning to her future life trajectory.
At the age of 12, Madonna was sent to a dance studio by her father to learn ballet Xi a local female dancer.
At that time, Madonna thought that she could become a dance director in the future, but what she didn't expect was that she was "fancied" by her teacher.
The teacher who taught the Madonna ballet was a lesbian, and although she was not interested in Madonna, she wanted to draw her into her ranks.
At the end of each class, the teacher would invite Madonna to a party at the bar, where Madonna's outlook on life was also shocked.
When she first saw a bunch of women hugging each other and kissing unbridled in a bar, Madonna felt like her world was starting to crumble.
However, Madonna's experience since she was a child made her not take her feelings seriously, and she gradually understood this matter.
In 1975, Madonna received an acceptance letter from Michigan State University to study dance, which also led her to the school's doors. The boredom of school life made it difficult for Madonna to continue her studies, and she was blacklisted as a teacher.
After two years of Xi, Madonna dropped out of school and left for the bustling metropolis of New York on her own. When she stood in Times Square, Madonna didn't think that she would be on that big screen in the future.
Although she left school, Madonna did not give up her pursuit of dance. She works in a restaurant during the day, Xi at a dance studio in the afternoon, and a bar at night.
However, these low salaries were difficult to support her school fees, which made her want to give up for a while.
It was at this time that the famous American choreographer Alvin Aley took a fancy to Madonna and invited her to join his dance troupe.
Here, Madonna can not only learn Xi all kinds of dances, but also get a good salary.
In the years that followed, Madonna began to want to transform from a dancer to a singer, and in her spare time she wrote lyrics in a notebook.
During this time, Madonna also learned a variety of instruments such as guitar and piano, and also performed as a singer in dance troupes.
In 1982, Madonna took her song "Everybody" to a dance hall in New York and was played by DJs at the time.
Surprisingly, the response from the guests who listened to the song that night was very enthusiastic, wanting to know who the singer really was.
Acting career
That night, the song "Everybody" was delivered to the desk of the president of Sire, a famous American record label. Madonna then signed her first contract and has since released her debut album.
After the release of the debut album, the sales were phenomenal. Even record companies didn't expect that a newcomer could bring in such a big profit. According to records at the time, 2.8 million copies of the record were sold in 1983 alone.
借助着首张专辑的成功，麦当娜于次年再度发布专辑，也就是首发单曲为《Material Giri》的《Like a Virgin》。
Among them, "Material Giri" also made Madonna reach No. 1 on the US Hot 100 singles chart.
In less than a month, the album sold more than 2 million people, and the company made a lot of money and started Madonna's first tour.
It was also in this year that Madonna entered the field of vision of the American public, and her fame became more and more famous.
When the 80-day tour began, Madonna gathered a huge number of fans everywhere she went, and the venues were packed.
The success of the show made the company realize that it needed to get Madonna to release a new album as soon as possible in order to stabilize the attention of fans.
And Madonna's third album "True Blue" has dominated the top spot on the album chart for five weeks.
After the release of this album, Madonna met her first partner, Sean Penn, in "Shanghai Horror".
However, the marriage between the two did not last long, only three years passed, and finally Madonna chose to divorce.
Since then, she has released her fourth album, Like a Prayer, which sold 7 million copies that year.
By 1992, Madonna had released four albums and a compilation, and she had begun to transform from a singer to a businessman.
After forming her own record label, Madonna released one of the company's magazines.
No one could have imagined that a record company would publish a magazine, and it would also be a pornographic magazine with photos of their bosses.
Because it contained photos of Madonna and many models and celebrities, the magazine received a lot of media criticism at the time.
When Madonna was 43 years old, she started her world tour under the name "Sinking". Also like its name, the three-month show has sunk fans across the globe.
And with her income of $74 million, she became the highest-paid female singer in the concert that year.
In the years since, Madonna has maintained a steady pace, constantly releasing new albums, which have caused a lot of buzz every time.
In 2008, Madonna was named the most accomplished female singer and was inducted into the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" in the United States.
How popular Madonna really is can be seen from the many grand events held in the United States. The highest-rated TV show in the United States, "Super Bowl", was the guest performer in the finals of the show.
This proves that Madonna's popularity is no less than that of the "Super Bowl" game.
In 2019, Madonna's fourteenth album "Madame X" was released, and it topped the album chart in its first week.
Now five years have passed, and Madonna's album is still on the hot list, which shows how terrifying its popularity is.
affair
In addition to her artistic achievements, Madonna is most talked about about in her personal life. After her marriage to Sean Penn ended, Madonna also embarked on the path of constantly changing boyfriends, and even NBA star Rodman fell under her pomegranate skirt.
Madonna's daughter was born in 1996, and there was a lot of controversy about who her father was. However, Madonna did not hide it, but generously stated the identity of her daughter's father.
Surprisingly, he turned out to be a fitness trainer that Madonna met in the park.
Carlos met a jogging Madonna in the park, and he later became Madonna's personal fitness trainer and brought the two closer together.
But in the end, Carlos didn't get into Madonna's heart, and only left her a daughter.
Although the birth of her daughter revealed Madonna's maternal brilliance, she did not forget her attachment to the flowers.
In addition to her personal trainer, Madonna's bodyguards were also impressed by her, and eventually had an ulterior relationship.
But what Madonna didn't expect was that her bodyguard actually kept a hand, and not only recorded it when she had a relationship, but also saved a video through the camera.
After being kicked out by Madonna, the bodyguard took out the footage and put it up for public auction.
However, Madonna didn't care about this, and even took the initiative to release these videos in order to prevent the bodyguard from making money.
It can also be seen that Madonna does not care about the impact of these video leaks on her reputation.
Many fans who like Madonna are not because of Madonna's appearance, but because they really like Madonna's songs.
Therefore, even if there are more scandals in the outside world, it will not delay their love for Madonna, let alone affect Madonna's status in their hearts.
Madonna said that nudity is not a bad thing, it just needs to be faced. Those who avoid sexual desires and cannot speak are actually the ugliest.
To this end, Madonna also took a set of large-scale photos to prove her claim.
In 2000, Madonna's second child was born. In December of that year, she married the child's father, Guy Ritchie.
The marriage between the two lasted for eight years, and finally came to an end because of relationship problems.
However, after the two divorced, Guy Ritchie said in an interview that he could not bear the oppression of Madonna in his life, and he needed her approval for everything he did.
As for how to evaluate this marriage, Guy Ritchie replied with the word "pain".
In addition to her two marriages, Madonna had more than 100 lovers, including the son of US President John F. Kennedy.
And in the interview, Madonna also admitted that she dated superstar Michael Jackson.
With the end of her marriage, Madonna began to pursue a comfortable life, but her requirements for her boyfriend became higher and higher.
And they also have one thing in common, that is, they are young. According to media reports, Madonna's current boyfriend is only 29 years old.
epilogue
Because of the scale of the concert, Madonna was often criticized for her performance, and some conservatives even protested against her.
However, Madonna's life was originally spent in confrontation again and again, and she didn't care about it.
Although Madonna's personal life is relatively rich, her artistic achievements cannot be ignored. After all, in the history of global art, few people have released albums at the age of 61.
In this alone, Madonna is also a well-deserved diva.
