One can’t think about the pop music genre without the ultra-talented Madonna (born Madonna Ciccone). It’s rather difficult to grasp just how impressive Madonna’s career has been. To date, she’s sold over 300 million records — thus making her the best-selling female artist in the history of music. Duly, Madonna has produced more than handful of iconic tracks (“Like a Prayer”, “La Isla Bonita”, “Like a Virgin”, “Vogue”). Essentially, everything Madonna touches turns to music gold. There are even estimates that Madonna could be worth as much as $600 million. When crafting a comprehensive look at pop music as a whole, Madonna sits atop the genre’s vast mountain.
