Madonna is the world's best selling female recording artist of all time. Since her debut in 1982, Madonna has released many chart-topping albums and singles, and has sold estimated more than 250 million albums and 150 million singles worldwide.
Known as the Queen of Pop, her 11th studio album, Hard Candy has debuted #1 in more than 27 worldwide while Hung Up from her 10th album Confessions On A Dancefloorreached #1 in a record breaking 45 countries. 4 Minutes featuring Justin Timberlake has grasped her 13th Number One in the U.K. singles chart a record for any females. The single has also broken records in the UK, where it became Madonna's 61st Top 10 hit and 13th Number One single, more than any other female solo artist. Madonna is the top-selling female recording artist in the U.S., that is if we combine both her albums and singles sales. But if you're going to break it down, in the album category, she is second to Barbra Streisand while for the singles category, she tops among all female artists. As of 23 April 2008, Madonna is back at #1 in Soundscan Digital Single Sales. 4 Minutes has sold over 1,000,000 downloads in only a few weeks.
