The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry states that Madonna has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide.
She is ranked by the Recording Industry Association of America as the best-selling female rock artist of the 20th century.
In 2008 Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Considered to be one of the most influential women in contemporary music, Madonna has been known for continually reinventing both her music and image, and for retaining a standard of autonomy within the recording industry.
She is recognized as an influence among numerous music artists.
Madonna embarked on her Sticky & Sweet Tour in 2008, which became the highest-grossing tour ever by a solo artist with gross of US $280 million, surpassing the previous record held by her Confessions Tour.
The tour was extended to the 2009, adding new European dates.
The total gross by the end of the whole tour was US$ 408 million.
According to Rolling Stone, Madonna "remains one of the greatest pop acts of all time".
She has been dubbed the "Queen of Pop" and is listed by Guinness World Records as the world's most successful female recording artist of all time.
Madonna has also received acclaim as a role model for businesswomen in her industry,
"achieving the kind of financial control that women had long fought for within the industry"
generating over $1.2 billion dollars in sales within the first decade of her career.
"The gripes about Madonna — she's cold, greedy, talentless — conceal both bigotry and the essence of her art, which is among the warmest, the most humane, the most profoundly satisfying in all pop culture."
Now with that being said...
All you haters can fucking suck it!
This bitch is a fucking star beyond stars!
