“Living For Love” is Madonna’s 44th No. 1 on Dance Club Songs Chart

She picked up her crown and put it back on her head. The Queen of Pop reigns again with Living for Love, tying with King of Country George Strait, for the most leaders ever by an act on a singular Billboard chart.

Billboard.com reveals that Madonna makes Billboard chart history, as she earns her 44th No. 1 on Dance Club Songs, with Living For Love lifting 2-1. The ranking, dated March 7, will refresh on Billboard.com on Thursday, February 26.

With her 44th leading title on Dance Club Songs, which measures reports submitted by a national sample of club DJs, Madonna pulls further ahead of runners-up Beyonce and Rihanna. In fact, Madonna has tallied as many No. 1s as they have combined: 22 each.

Here is an updated look at Madonna’s 44 Dance Club Songs No. 1s, beginning with the double-sided single Holiday/Lucky Star, which reached the top the week of Sept. 24, 1983. You’ll notice that one of her No. 1s is an entire album: You Can Dance (1988), a collection of mostly remixes of previously released songs (and one new cut, Spotlight). Prior to Feb. 23, 1991, the chart wasn’t always song-specific and full albums were, at some points, allowed to chart.

On July 10 1985, The Playboy magazine issue of nude Madonna photos was released !!

Playboy publishes nude photos of Madonna taken before she was famous. The singer did a number of nude photo shoots from 1977-1980, starting when she was an 18-year-old student at the University of Michigan looking for some extra cash and trying to form a band. Now a huge star, Playboy publishes some of the shots taken in 1979 and 1980 in a revealing spread. A year earlier, the magazine turned down nude photos of Miss America winner Vanessa Williams , which their rival Penthouse published. "We think Vanessa genuinely didn't know what she was doing, didn't know her photos might be published," the article states. "Madonna, on the other hand, posed repeatedly for two noted photographers who routinely publish what they shoot." One of the photographers, Lee Friedlander, says of the shoot: "She seemed very confident, a street-wise girl." Madonna has little to say on the matter, but doesn't shy away. "I'm not ashamed,...
