Madonna joins iconic company with hits across five different decades thanks to single “Popular” | music

Although the pop icon has mainly made the news in recent years with her bizarre TikTok videos, false performances, and boyfriends younger than her eldest daughter, she’s made a comeback in the music business. And how: Billboard announced that “Popular,” created for the much-discussed HBO series, The Idol, will enter No. 43 on June 17. 90, 00, 10 and now 20. It follows in the footsteps of Cher, who entered the history books and achieved hits between Sixties and forties of the last century.

Madonna debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983 with “Holiday,” and she had 18 more hits that decade, including “Like a Virgin” and “Like a Prayer.” She continued her success in the ’90s with no fewer than 24 hits, such as “Vogue” and “Frozen.” At first she reinvented herself with twelve songs like “music’ and “don’t tell me”.

In the past decade, the Queen of Pop was no longer the queen of the charts, but with “Give Me All You Love” and “Bitch I’m Madonna” (both with Nicki Minaj) she managed to make the US chart twice. the next“Popular’, Madonna may soon enter the Billboard chart with “Volgar,” a new duet with Sam Smith.

Cher is the only other woman to have topped the charts (Billboard) with new songs for five consecutive decades. Many men belonged to the illustrious company of the Billboard list: Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Presley, Smokey Robinson, The Rolling Stones, Santana and Stevie Wonder.

In fact, Jackson and McCartney have appeared on the Hot 100 list in seven different decades. This was due in part to songs that later re-entered the charts and their mass success in the 1960s in The Jackson 5 (Jackson) and The Beatles (McCartney).
