The night changed her life—not just because the music was great, but because, as she put it more than 20 years later while accepting Bowie’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, “it was great theater. Here was this beautiful, androgynous man, just being so…perverse.” More than a musician, Madonna—like Bowie was—is a supreme cultural curator. She's an artist capable of combining styles and images in ways that are both novel and groundbreaking, who changes with such frequency and confidence that change has become her defining characteristic. Born in Bay City, Michigan, in 1958, she spent her childhood studying ballet, later moving to New York to try and make it as a dancer. (She was fired from a brief stint at a Times Square Dunkin’ Donuts after spraying a customer—either accidentally or on purpose, she never confirmed—with donut jelly.) After playing in a couple of New Wave bands, she went solo, exploring a simple, almost punky, almost amateurish take on dance music (“Borderline,” “Lucky Star”) that brought the grandeur of disco down to human scale. She remained more or less invincible throughout the '80s, releasing a string of albums (Like a Virgin, True Blue, and Like a Prayer) that continue to define the era. Like Prince, her music was immediate but her character was incredibly complex: She could be brassy (“Material Girl”) and sweet (“Open Your Heart”), earnest (“Papa Don’t Preach”) and playful (“Like a Virgin”), sacred and profane—a variety that widened the emotional spectrum for pretty much every female pop artist in her wake. In the ’90s, she shifted her focus more explicitly to the intersection of sex and power (Erotica, Bedtime Stories, the photo book Sex), with a sound that flirted with house, new jack swing, and late-night R&B. (Between “Vogue” and the tour documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare, it was also a moment when she leaned into her support of the LGBTQ community—a relationship that has defined her career.) Just as quickly as she’d embraced her inner sinner, she pivoted, first with a role as former Argentinian first lady Eva Perón in the 1996 film and soundtrack Evita, then with the 1998 album Ray of Light—projects that rechristened her as a mature, soul-searching artist in a chaotic world. She kept pace through the 2000s and 2010s, exploring disco, electro, and minimalistic takes on ’80s dance music, continuing to track the sound of the times while always, somehow, remaining herself. When she was a young woman pursuing a dance career in New York, she’d been given a nickname by the famed choreographer Martha Graham: Madame X, a shape-shifting woman whose identity was, as the name suggests, a variable. About 40 years later, she embraced the moniker for 2019’s Madame X, an album influenced by the yearning fado music of her adopted home of Lisbon, Portugal. - Apple MusicTop 100 Chart History1984 02 Holiday -1- MILLIONAIRE1984 14 Lucky Star -2-1984 02 Borderline -3-1984 03 Like A Virgin -1- MILLIONAIRE1985 03 Material Girl -2- MILLIONAIRE1985 02 Crazy For You -OST- MILLIONAIRE1985 01 Into The Groove -3- MILLIONAIRE1985 05 Angel -4-1985 04 Gambler -OST-1985 05 Dress You Up -5-1986 02 Live To Tell -1-1986 01 Papa Don't Preach -2-1986 01 True Blue -3-1986 04 Open Your Heart -4-1987 01 La Isla Bonita -5-1987 01 Who's That Girl -OST/1-1987 04 Causing A Commotion -OST/2-1987 09 The Look Of Love -OST/3-1989 01 Like A Prayer -1- MILLIONAIRE1989 99 Into The Groove / Who's That Girl?1989 05 Express Yourself -2-1989 03 Cherish -3-1989 05 Dear Jessie -4-1990 01 Vogue -1- MILLIONAIRE1990 02 Hanky Panky -2-1990 02 Justify My Love -1-1991 03 Rescue Me -2-1992 03 This Used To Be My Playground -OST-1992 03 Erotica -1-1992 06 Deeper And Deeper -2-1993 10 Bad Girl -3-1993 06 Fever -4-1993 07 Rain -5-1994 07 I'll Remember -OST-1994 05 Secret -1-1994 16 Take A Bow -2-1995 04 Bedtime Story -3-1995 08 Human Nature -4-1995 05 You'll See -1-1996 16 Oh Father -2-1996 11 One More Chance -3-1996 10 You Must Love Me -OST/1-1996 03 Don't Cry For Me Argentina -OST/2-1997 07 Another Suitcase In Another Hall -OST/3-1998 01 Frozen -1-1998 02 Ray Of Light -2-1998 10 Drowned World (Substitute For Love) -3-1998 06 The Power Of Goodbye -4-1999 07 Nothing Really Matters -5-1999 02 Beautiful Stranger -OST-2000 01 American Pie -OST-2000 01 Music -1-2000 04 Don't Tell Me -2-2001 07 What It Feels Like For A Girl -3-2002 03 Die Another Day -OST-2003 02 American Life -1-2003 02 Hollywood -2-2003 02 Me Against The Music (Britney Spears feat.

March 6Mar 6 Author 39 | 34 | 9th weekFleetwood MacLandslideAlbum track from Fleetwood MacReleased: 11th July 1975Label: RepriseNE (15/01/2026) | 20-27-34-34-31-33-34-34-39Sales: 1,600,000+Certification: 2x PlatinumStatus: Standard Chart Ratio37 Sales39 Audio Streamingxx Video StreamingVideoBiographyTension can be a great motivator for a band, and no group has put that maxim to the test quite like Fleetwood Mac, a ’60s British blues-rock outfit that—through a series of lineup changes, stylistic shifts and rocky internal romances—became the paragons of ‘70s Californian pop. Since the band’s formation in London in 1967, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie have served as both the rhythmic and spiritual anchors for a group that has hosted a revolving-door procession of outsized personalities, starting with Peter Green, the budding guitar god responsible for early hits like “Black Magic Woman” (famously covered by Santana) and the tranquil instrumental “Albatross” (which The Beatles admittedly aped on their Abbey Road track “Sun King”). After Green quit in 1970, the band cycled through different frontmen—Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch among them—while their keyboardist, McVie’s wife Christine, emerged as a female vocal foil. After a relocation to L.A., they welcomed singer/songwriter Lindsey Buckingham and his musical/romantic partner Stevie Nicks into the fold, heralding Fleetwood Mac’s transition into soft-rock hitmakers on their 1975 self-titled effort. But Nicks’ star turns on “Rhiannon” and “Landslide” revealed a darker mystique at the core of their easygoing sound and, as sudden success caused the long-term relationships within the band to disintegrate, their next release effectively invented a new genre: rock album as couples therapy. On 1977’s Rumours, Fleetwood Mac dressed up the bitterest break-up songs in the smoothest, sultriest arrangements to the tune of over 40 million copies sold; the album’s appeal is so universal that it’s been both cited by Courtney Love as an influence and used to soundtrack Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign. But the band were eager to play against pop-star type—1979’s double-album colossus Tusk betrayed Buckingham’s affinity for post-punk, and though it was deemed a commercial disappointment at the time, it has since been embraced as a cult classic by discerning indie rockers. And even as more streamlined ‘80s efforts like Mirage and Tango in the Night reasserted their pop panache, Fleetwood Mac have remained a cauldron of drama and intra-band acrimony, the principal members seemingly coming and going without warning. In the wake of Buckingham’s departure in 2018, the group enlisted Crowded House singer Neil Finn and Tom Petty sideman Mike Campbell. Christine McVie, who wrote some of the band’s biggest songs, including “Don’t Stop”, “You Make Lovin' Fun” and “Over My Head”, died in November 2022 at the age of 79. - Apple MusicTop 100 Chart History1968 37 Black Magic Woman -NAS-1968 31 Need Your Love So Bad -NAS-1968 01 Albatross -NAS- MILLIONAIRE1969 02 Man Of The World -NAS-1969 02 Oh Well -NAS-1970 10 The Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown) -NAS-1973 02 Albatross / Need Your Love So Bad -NAS-1976 40 Say You Love Me -2^-1977 38 Go Your Own Way -1- MILLIONAIRE1977 32 Don't Stop -2-1977 24 Dreams -3- MILLIONAIRE1977 45 You Make Loving Fun -4-1978 46 Rhiannon -1^-1979 06 Tusk -1-1979 37 Sara -2-1982 46 Gypsy -2*-1982 09 Oh Diane -3*-1983 83 Can't Go Back -4*-1987 09 Big Love -1-1987 56 Seven Wonders -2-1987 05 Little Lies -3- MILLIONAIRE1987 54 Family Man -4-1988 04 Everywhere -5- MILLIONAIRE1988 60 Isn't It Midnight -6-1988 66 As Long As You Follow -1-1989 94 Hold Me -1*-1989 53 Save Me -1-1990 58 In The Back Of My Mind -2-2009 67 The Chain -AT- MILLIONAIRE2026 20 Landslide -AT- MILLIONAIRE1 x #1 | 6 x Top 5 | 10 x Top 10 | 11 x Top 20 | 18 x Top 40 | 30 x Top 100Social Media Fleetwood Mac
