She's a true artist and a guinness woman p.s. I've uploaded a picture on this entry but i I can't see it from my computer. Can anyone tell me whether it is visible?

Madonna was named the biggest money maker in music in 2012 on Friday, with a world tour helping her take home up to $34.6 million and highlighting the earning power of live performances as the industry increasingly goes digital. The 54-year-old Material Girl topped Billboard Magazine's annual list of 40 top money makers for the second time after earning an estimated $32 million - 93.5 percent of her revenue - from her 88-date "MDNA" tour, 2012's biggest tour. Madonna, who also led the list in 2008 due to tour income, was the only woman in the top 10 with last year's winner, Taylor Swift, who fell to 15th place as she did not tour in 2012. In second place in the music magazine's list was Bruce Springsteen whose $33.4 million revenue was also primarily driven by touring, playing to sold-out stadiums and arenas. Springsteen, who also released a No. 1 album, "Wrecking Ball," last year, earned 92 percent of his revenue from live shows where strong merchandise sales also boosted takings. Roger Waters, founder of Pink Floyd, came a distant third with earnings of $21 million largely from "The Wall Live" tour and Van Halen was fourth with $20 million after touring in support of their album "A Different Kind of Truth". "When it comes to making the biggest score, the most money always comes from high-paying live performances," Billboard's editorial analyst Glenn Peoples wrote in explaining the list. "Ironically, the most popular touring artists are usually well past their peaks on the album sales charts." Country music veteran Kenny Chesney, the Dave Matthews Band, country's Tim McGraw and Jason Aldean, and British band Coldplay came next on the list. Canadian teen sensation Justin Bieber was 10th, earning almost $16 million of which about $10 million came from his sold-out "Believe" arena tour. "The entire top 10 averaged 84.2 percent of their income from concerts, and the number would have been higher, if not for Justin Bieber's mere 60.1 percent share at No. 10 dragging down the average," said Billboard. However touring was not vital for every act on the list such as Swift and Britain's Adele. Swift earned $12.7 million after selling the most digital tracks in 2012. She sold more than 3 million digital albums and 15.6 million digital tracks driven by her hit "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". Adele took the year out after having a baby but still earned nearly $14 million, putting her 11th in the rankings, due to continuing strong physical and digital sales for her album "21". Maroon 5, ranked 33rd in the list, took the highest share of streaming revenue which made 3.5 percent of its $7.2 million. Billboard said streaming music online to paying customers has not caught on with older generations and was small in percentage terms but growing. "Yet even in the coming years, as streaming services become a more important revenue source, possibly replacing digital downloads and CD sales, one thing is unlikely to change: concerts will have the greatest influence of top earners' overall earnings," said Peoples. The list was compiled by Billboard editors using data for Boxscore archives of U.S. concert gross figures, Nielsen SoundScan data for sales, YouTube, and Nielsen BDS data.

Honestly, I have to say i don't like his style, but i can affirm this is a new and uncommon way to see Madonna. I'm glad Madonna inspired his art...no many contemporary personalities inspire fine artists. So Madonna broke the record once again

We’ve seen pop queen Madonna with a myriad of looks over the years but we’ve never seen her quite like this. Artist Peter Reynosa of Yuba City, CA held an art show called the17 Paintings of Madonna in Los Angeles recently. His paintings are both controversial and intriguing. At first glance you would never know Madonna was Peter’s muse, his pieces are not pop art, instead he uses symbolism which he finds to be “more powerful”. Says Reynosa, “I would describe my paintings as abstract portraits of Madonna with a lot of symbolism that attempt to talk about a serious subject. Some are complimentary of her and her beliefs, yet some are critical of her or her beliefs.” Take a look for yourself, the artist describes each one: Madonna and Lourdes. It is not controversial. It is a beautiful painting of Madonna and her daughter. It is a mother and child painting. Actually, Madonna is holding her daughter and protecting her like a rock as she creates a protective barrier around her. I painted Lourdes as a child because in Madonna’s eyes she will always be a child. And I have her breast feeding her to show their emotive connection. Madonna Making Love on a Full Moon. And here we see two phallic symbols struggling to dominate each other.. It is really a painting about the sexual politics between a man and a woman. Madonna and Aborted Child. This is a painting of Madonna with one of her aborted children. I dress them up like they did in the Renaissance because in that time Madonna and child paintings were popular. The white on their faces represent their innocence. The nimbuses around their heads represent how they are both holy. And the crosses represent death, the death of the child and a part of the death of the woman for having an abortion. And yet, it is not a mean painting or ugly painting. But it is a tragic painting Madonna Dreaming about Existentialism. Here we see our world and mankind (Madonna melting) and everything sacred to mankind (the cross) melting away by our giant red sun in a hopeless universe. Obviously, this painting is about existentialism and my interpretation how Madonna might dream about how horrible it might be if we truly exist in an existential universe. Madonna Practicing Autoerotic Aphyxiation. It is actually also making fun of Piet Mondrian, a famous abstract painter who said his artwork was very religious and serious. He also did paintings with straight up and down lines and only a couple of colors. This artist has also composed a poem about Madonna, here's the link: http://goldenbridgeinmate39.wordpress.com/2012/02/05/o-madonna-by-peter/

Absolutely true, She is a fine Artist

Christopher Rosa 2/4/2013 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. 20. Spice Girls 19. Chrissie Hynde 18. Joni Mitchell 17. Dolly Parton 16. Grace Jones 15. Whitney Houston 14. Siouxsie Sioux 13. Dusty Springfield 12. Beyonce 11. Janis Joplin 10. Patti Smith 9. Lady Gaga 8. Adele 7. Amy Winehouse 6. Aretha Franklin 5. ABBA girls 4. Debbie Harry 3. Kate Bush 2. Tina Turner 1. Madonna Yahoo!released a similar list, and Madonna was given the top prize as well One word: LEGEND!

Hi, there's a wikipedia page dedicated to all the unrealesed tracks of Her discography. I suggest you to listen to all these songs, Triggering your Senses, Has to Be etc.... pure masterpieces

I'm making a plea to Madonna's commercial Staff for reissuing Confessions on a Dance Floor and Ray of Light including the unreleased tracks and the special edition tracks. It's a shame that dance/synth-pop gems like "Triggering Your Senses", "Keep The Trance" and "History (Land Of The Free)" miss in the basic edition of Confessions album. As well as the unreleased tracks of Ray of Light (along with "Has to Be", an ambient/new age pearl which is prerogative of the japanese edition) went to waste, when they could be released as a deluxe 2 CD set. What a pity! I hope the commercial Staff will consider this request one day, I'm sure the reissues would obtain notable success too. This is a win-win situation. Thank you Flavio M.

lol

The one in the middle looks like the real Madonna

No, the tagline is a Madonna's statement. Meaning that individuals are free of aging the way they feel more comfortable. Something personal can be read between the lines of this statement, since she's always been slammed for her girlish and evergreen appearance and personality

Hey Mr. Dj, you're welcome!

Hello! Here's the link of a Brazilian dj's remix i fell in love with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyvFroqfh-E Here's another one but I found it too 90's-ish in some parts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqfifnKRU3o I can also suggest this one which is not properly a remix, it's rather a compete compressed videography: I hope I've been helpful. See you!

I really hope so, i would attend her show once again!

I agree, the best time to restart could be March.
