[edit] 31 Jan 7 question: Madonna's top 5 singles record
In the trivia section of Madonna's achievements/awards page it says this:
- Madonna has the most consecutive top 5 singles (16) from 1984 (Lucky star) to 1989 (Cherish).
She has the most consecutive top 20 debuts in the charts (27) from 1983 to 1992. Mariah Carey had a #1 every year of the 1990s, so that = 10. So doesnt that beat Madonna's 5 consecutive hits from 1984-9? MC's were all #1, were Madonna's? What is meant by consecutive top 5 singles? Also, didnt MC also beat her 27 top 20 debuts from 1983-1992 in the 1990s with all her #1 songs? Thx for clearing this up. 208.58.196.156 19:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
According to the Billboard Book of Number One Hits article for "Like A Prayer", it says Madonna had been "absent from the Hot 100 for a year and a half before releasing the lead single from her album Like A Prayer.)- Tdawgfive5six9 10:51, 25 November 2005 (UST-6)
20 consecutive top 5 singles mean that these songs went top 5 in a row. When Anytime You Need a Friend was released this broke Mariah Carey's streak in 1994.

To answer your other question on the top 20 debuts. The song would have to appeared for the first time on the chart at 20 or higher not only move to number 1.
[edit] IFPI
In January 3, 2006 the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry released its "Biggest Selling Artists Worlwide" list naming Madonna as the Top-Selling Female Artist of the World with sales of 275,000,000 records, and the 4th biggest selling artist over all.
- As per the main Madonna article discussion, let's not add the IFPA info until we've got a direct source link.

Again, this article has become a place for editors to reflect on the greatness of their queen. First and foremost, the article is extremely repetitive. For example, it claims that Madonna is the most successful about ten different times. Also, much of the chart information is repetivive and unsourced. Guys, we still have to remember that this is an article in an encyclopedia. Orane (talk • cont.) 07:54, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TRL
"Madonna is the oldest and only female artist of the 1980s to have a video retired on MTV's TRL." 2nd oldest NSYNC and Gloria Estefan "Music of My Heart" November 11, 1999 #2 Gloria Estefan's first and only retired video. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Total_Request_Live_retired_videos
[edit] Top 5 Hits
It says in the article that Madonna has 16 consecutive top 5 hits, but I counted 17 on the discography page. Lucky Star, Like a Virgin, Material Girl, Crazy for You, Angel, Dress You Up, Gambler, Live to Tell, Papa Don't Preach, True Blue, Open Your Heart, La Isla Bonita, Who's That Girl, Causing a Commotion, Like a Prayer, Express Yourself, Cherish. That's 17.
It's 16 because Gambler was never released in the US as a single. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler_%28Madonna_song%29
[edit] Article Length
This article seems ridiculously long and very hard to read. Granted, Madonna is a successful musician and her achievements should be chronicled, but a lot of the material is presented in a redundant way. Does every #1 and #2 album and single really need to be chronicled here?? Can't this information already be found in her discography?? I believe so. Also, if you still want to chroncle every #1 hit in every single country here, fine, but there is an easier way of presenting the information. 24.14.105.100 02:59, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
