Madonna (entertainer)
Madonna Louise Ciccone (born August 16, 1958) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman.
Referred to as the "Queen of Pop" since the 1980s, Madonna is known for pushing the boundaries of songwriting in mainstream popular music and for the imagery she uses onstage and in music videos.
She has frequently reinvented her music and image while maintaining autonomy within the recording industry.
Her works have been praised by music critics and have sparked controversy.
Madonna is often cited as an influence by other artists.
Born and raised in Michigan, Madonna moved to New York City in 1978 to pursue a career in modern dance.
After performing as a drummer, guitarist, and vocalist in the rock bands Breakfast Club and Emmy, Madonna signed with Sire Records in 1982 and released her eponymous debut album the next year.
She followed it with a series of successful albums, including global bestsellers "Like a Virgin" (1984) and "True Blue" (1986) as well as Grammy Award winners "Ray of Light" (1998) and "Confessions on a Dance Floor" (2005).
Many of her songs have reached the top of record charts worldwide, including "Like a VirginLa Isla BonitaLike a PrayerVogueTake a BowFrozenMusicHung Up", and "4 Minutes".
Madonna's popularity was further enhanced by her roles in films such as "Desperately Seeking Susan" (1985), "Dick Tracy" (1990), "A League of Their Own" (1992), and "Evita" (1996).
While "Evita" earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, many of her other films received poor reviews.
As a businesswoman, Madonna founded an entertainment company called Maverick (including the label Maverick Records) in 1992.
Her other ventures include fashion design, children's books, health clubs, and filmmaking.
She contributes to various charities, having founded Ray of Light Foundation in 1998 and Raising Malawi in 2006.
Having sold more than 300 million records worldwide, Madonna is noted as the best-selling female recording artist of all time by "Guinness World Records".
The Recording Industry Association of America listed her as the third highest-certified female artist in the U.S., with 64.5 million album units.
According to "Billboard", Madonna is the most successful solo artist in its Hot 100 chart history.
She is also the highest-grossing solo touring artist of all time, accumulating U.S. $1.4 billion from her concert tickets.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in her first year of eligibility, Madonna topped VH1's countdown of 100 Greatest Women in Music. "
Rolling Stone" listed her among the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.
Everybody (Madonna song)
"Everybody" is the debut single by American singer Madonna from her eponymous debut studio album "Madonna" (1983).
It was released on October 6, 1982, by the Sire label as her debut single.
Madonna had recorded a demo of the song with Steve Bray.
She urged DJ Mark Kamins, who played at her dance club, to play it.
He was impressed by the song and took her to Sire Records, who signed her for a two-song deal.
However, after the recording of the two singles was over, Sire executive Michael Rosenblatt was not interested in the other song produced and decided to release only "Everybody".
By incorporating R&B infused beats in the music and not including her image on the cover artwork, marketing for the song gave the impression of Madonna as a black artist.
That impression did not last long as Madonna would later convince Sire executives to shoot a music video for the song.
The low-budget video directed by Ed Steinberg showed Madonna and her friends in a club singing and dancing to the song.
The video helped to further promote the song and Madonna as an artist.
Critically, "Everybody" did not receive any acclaim and failed to enter the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart.
It did, however, appear on the dance charts.
The song helped Madonna achieve her first appearance in a dance magazine.
She has performed "Everybody" live a number of times.
It was first performed during The Virgin Tour, then as the final song of The Girlie Show World Tour, later on The MDNA Tour and most recently on the Rebel Heart Tour.
The song was included in a remixed form on Madonna's 1987 remix album, "You Can Dance", and on the deluxe edition of her 2009 compilation album, "Celebration".
O Valencia!
" O Valencia!" is the fifth single by the indie rock band
The Decemberists, and the first released from their fourth studio album," The Crane Wife".
The music was written by The Decemberists and the lyrics by Colin Meloy.
It tells a story of two star- crossed lovers.
The singer falls in love with a person who belongs to an opposing gang.
At the end of the song, the singer's lover jumps in to defend the singer, who is confronting his lover's brother( the singer's" sworn enemy") and is killed by the bullet intended for the singer.
