MADONNA at No.1 For The Thirteenth Time.

admin — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 22:07:58 +0000

Madonna has done it again.
At 49 years of age, the undisputed Queen of Pop has shown that she’s far from finished. Madonna’s latest single, ‘4 Minutes’, is the thirteenth single by the ultimate Pop Diva to top the UK singles chart.
This confirms Madonna to be the most successful female artist in UK Chart History.
Her nearest rival, Kylie Minogue, who has an impressive tally of seven UK number 1’s to her name, is still trailing Madonna by six chart toppers.
Wow!
