20 MADONNA
Born Madonna Ciccone on 16th August 1958 in Bay City, Michigan, USA. Surely there has never been an artist who was able to keep their fingers on the pulse of what is happening in the world of music and fashion, and never look ridiculous and always sound fresh as Madonna. She rocketed to fame in the mid 80's, making full use of her sexuality and the hits haven't stopped since, when many of her peers, superior writers and musicians have fallen on hard times or fallen out of favour, Madonna's star has never waned. She married English film director Guy Ritchie in 2000 and divorced in 2008. On the 20th May 2006 she became the most successful female writer in chart history, taken over from Carole King.
