Excerpt of The Departure by Michael Parker

  HOME

Sunday, November 27, 2005

When Madonna's latest pop song "Hung Up" jumped into the number 7 on the US Hot 100 Singles this week, she tied Elvis for the most top ten hits ever at 36. Her top ten hits started with "Borderline" in the early 1983. It has taken 21 years to tie Elvis for this extraordinary milestone. Madonna has had 45 Top 40 hits, the record for female vocalists.  "Hung Up" comes from her latest #1 album, titled Confessions on the Dance Floor.  

Read the Reuters news brief here.

I'm trying to track down a list of all of Madonna's top ten hits so that I can post them.  So far, no luck.  But Wikipedia has a great bio of the Material Girl.
