Madonna, born Madonna Louise Ciccone on August 16, 1958, in Bay City, Michigan, is an iconic figure in popular music, known for pushing the boundaries of lyrical content in mainstream music and for her visual imagery in music videos and on stage. Often referred to as the "Queen of Pop," Madonna has established a reputation for reinventing both her music and image while maintaining autonomy within the recording industry. Her works, which incorporate social, political, sexual, and religious themes, have generated both critical acclaim and controversy.

Madonna moved to New York City in 1978 to pursue a career in modern dance. After performing in the music groups Breakfast Club and Emmy, she released her debut album, "Madonna," in 1983. She followed it with a series of successful albums, including the global bestsellers "Like a Virgin" (1984) and "True Blue" (1986), and the Grammy Award winners "Ray of Light" (1998) and "Confessions on a Dance Floor" (2005). Throughout her career, she has written and produced most of her songs, with many of them reaching the top of record charts around the world, including "Like a Virgin," "La Isla Bonita," "Like a Prayer," and "Vogue." Admired as a music innovator, Madonna has had numerous recent releases and remixes, maintaining her presence on the music scene. Notable recent works include the "Sorry" remixes, which exemplify her continual evolution and ability to remain relevant in the ever-changing music industry.
