Madonna

She has sold more than 60 million records. Her behind-the tour video In Bed With Madonna (1991) made her a major celebrity. She has appeared in the films Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) and Evita (1997). Her book Madonna: Sex (1992) was a scandalous success. Her recent albums are Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005) and Hard Candy (2008).
