The U.K.’s Telegraph named Madonna the greatest female pop artist of all time.

The Telegraph cited the Queen of Pop’s ability to constantly reinvent herself and produce cutting-edge dance music as reason to crown her with this honorific title.

Madonna’s career has spanned 30 years, starting with the release of her singleEverybody in 1982. Since then, she has taken on many roles, including virgin, temptress, earth goddess, witch, cowgirl, disco queen, and cheerleader. Her 2012 MDNA Tour was the highest grossing tour in the U.S, accompanied by a number one album with the same name.
