Madonna Extreme

Madonna’s back at No. 1 on the Dance Club Songs chart, as her latest single, “B**** I’m Madonna” rises 2-1 on the chart dated Aug. 15. It’s Madonna’s 46th No. 1 on this chart, and extends her own record for the most No. 1s on a singular Billboard chart. (She broke the record in May, when she surpassed George Strait’s 44 leaders on the Hot Country Songs chart.) For Minaj, “Madonna” is her fifth No. 1. She also hit the top with “Turn Me On” (David Guetta featuring Minaj), “Give Me All Your Luvin'” (Madonna featuring Minaj & M.I.A.), “Pound the Alarm” and “Beauty and a Beat” (Justin Bieber featuring Minaj). Here is an updated look at Madonna’s 46 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, 1...

" Cherish " by  Madonna  was from her fourth studio album  Like a Prayer  (1989). It was written and produced by Madonna and  Patrick Leonard , and was released by  Sire Records  as the album's third single on August 1, 1989. "Cherish" was built around the themes of love and relationship, with  William Shakespeare 's  Romeo and Juliet  being one of the major inspirations.

Madonna kicked off the European leg of her 54-date world Confessions tour in Cardiff Tens of thousands of fans packed the Millennium stadium in Cardiff to see Madonna kick off the European leg of her worldwide Confessions tour in the biggest venue yet for the show. A capacity crowd of up to 59,000 people were treated to the sold-out performance by the tireless 47-year old Material Girl as she performed for the first time in Wales. The tour which began in Los Angeles in May featured "Madge" -- as British tabloid newspapers nickname her -- paying homage to her newfound love of horses since moving to the English countryside with an equestrian theme for the first act of the four-themed show. The remaining three acts saw the Queen of Pop go native with a bedouin concept, grind out edgy tunes on an electric guitar in the 'Never Mind the Bollocks' section with a round off to the two-hour show featuring a highly-polished disco theme. The first 3000 fans through the...

THE MOMMY RETURNS – MADONNA TOUR DE FORCE : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (JULY 27 2001) Get into the toaster and crouch. Shut the door. Bend your knees. You’re in a square, transparent pod underneath the stage at London’s Earls Court. The point man is staring at you, waiting for a thumbs-up. If you’re holding a guitar, aim the fretboard vertically, otherwise a tuning peg might get clipped on the way up and — claaaang! — you’ll storm the stage in a hail of sour notes. Keep your arms at your sides. During rehearsals a dancer almost got a limb sliced off when a toaster hurled her into the air sooner than expected. They call it a toaster because it can pop you out like a piece of toast. Sometimes it’s cannonball-fast, but usually it hoists you slowly, into a dry-ice fogbank, as if you’re a platform-booted member of Kiss. If it looks like you’re not ready, “we abort the move,” says production manager Mark Spring. If you are ready — if thumbs-ups are exchanged — then seconds later you’re c...
