Biography

When Madonna Louise Ciccone was 15, she put on a black silk cape and the biggest platform shoes she owned, snuck out of her bedroom window in suburban Michigan, and hitchhiked to Detroit to see David Bowie live. 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 Music

Nice to have fresh climbers in the Top 10 I guess but they’re both pretty dismal.

I haven’t heard the Madonna & Kylie song but I can’t say I have high hopes for that either. 😅

Already knew BUT that’s absolutely incredible!

Ad's on youtube, what's one of those? (use a ad blocker lol)

It doesn't change the fact that they exist! 😂

What is it about country songs that strongly reference US place names...

Guarantees the entire state will play it on repeat. I honestly think Choosin Texas is on top for so long in the US because Texas is huge and they love 'he's choosin' Texas I can tell'

Ooh kylie and Madonna only falling 1 place since sunday is crazy 😲

They're playing the solo Madonna version ffs

Oops not quite the shock number 1 some were predicting but impressive to score a top 10! Nothing will ever stop Rein Me In 🔥

Debuts at #8 in the UK! I thought it'd be higher since they teased it as a #1 contender.

AHHHHH!!!!

Hey i'll take top 10 for Love Sensation. This is a proper bop.

At least Confessions II has got a Top 10 single under its belt...

There's nothing that we cannot do

No8!! We did it!!!

So not playing the Kylie version then???! Dunces

I dont think a country song that mentions manchester liverpool or Birmingham has the same ring to it though 🤭

'Sweet Home Alabama' mentions Birmingham though just not the UK city!

Glad that Warner align everything on week one for a Top 10 debut.

Happy this made it after an uncertain week although playing the solo version feels pretty rude to Kylie! Then again he did the same with Stateside when that was in the top 10 for a while.

they just released a 7" vinyl !!!

Played the song without kylie lol.

Wrong remix.
