This weekend, Billboard released their list of the top artists since their magazine began tracking sales in the 1950s. We all knew the Beatles would be the number one group. But it was (sort of) shocking to find that Madonna is the magazine's biggest solo act of all time.
We are not knocking Madonna's talents -- she is one of the most talented pop stars out there today. But we honestly thought that Michael Jackson and Elton John would come out higher since they have been around for longer. Then again, everybody knows that Madonna has 38 top ten singles, more than any act in chart history.
You can expect Madonna's reign to continue as she starts working on her new album in September. Since Giorgio Moroder has been named as one of the possible producers, we are very excited. We just hope that Madonna can come up with some killer ballads as well. "Crazy for You,""Live to Tell," and "I'll Remember" are some of the most memorable ballads ever produced and display Madonna's moving vocals.
