Early Life & Career

Madonna Louise Ciccone was born in Bay City, Michigan, on August 16, 1958. She eventually moved with her family to Rochester Hills, Michigan, where she took up the study of dance, even earning a dance scholarship to the University of Michigan. She dropped out of college in 1978 and moved to New York City to pursue her dance career. Eventually, after forming and playing with various bands such as "the Breakfast Club" and "Emmy," Madonna began promoting herself as a solo act and signed a deal with Sire Records.

Musical Career

Her first two singles with Sire, "Everybody" (1982) and "Burning Up" (1983) became club hits in the US. Her fame continued to grow with the release of her eponymous debut album in July 1983, as it peaked six months later at number eight on the Billboard 200 chart. Her second album "Like a Virgin" (November 1984) was her first number one album, and the first album by a female to sell over five million copies in the US. She has gone on to release over ten studio albums, including "Like a Prayer" (1989), "Bedtime Stories" (1994), "American Life" (2003), "Hard Candy" (2008), "Rebel Heart" (2015) and "Madame X" (2019), to name a few. Having sold more than 300 million records worldwide, Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, in her first year of eligibility.
