Madonna has become the first female artist to earn US Top 10 albums in each decade since the 1980s.
The Queen of Pop’s latest milestone comes after her remix compilation ‘Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones’ debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200.
The Like a Prayer star earned her first Top 10 on the chart in October 1984 with her self-titled record, which also peaked at No. 8, which she followed up with ‘Like a Virgin’, ‘True Blue’, the ‘Who’s That Girl’ soundtrack and ‘Like a Prayer’ – all of which saw similar success.
The 1990s saw Madonna score seven Top 10 LPs, including her compilation releases ‘The Immaculate Collection’ and ‘Something to Remember’, while her six 2000s Top 10s include ‘Music’, ‘American Life’ and ‘Confessions on a Dance Floor’.
And in the 2010s, her three studio albums – ‘MDNA’, ‘Rebel Heart’ and ‘Madame X’ – all hit the upper echelons of the chart.
The other acts who have achieved the milestone of having Billboard 200 Top 10 albums in each decade since the 1980s are AC/DC, Def Leppard, Sir Paul McCartney, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Robert Plant, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, and James Taylor.
‘Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones’ is available now.
