      Her impact on music for later generations is minimal. I loved her albums. I remember asking all the record stores if the True Blue album had arrived yet. I asked daily until the first store to get it told me the CD’s arrived. I actually still have the copy and it was printed without the title of the album on it. However, she sometimes wrote the basic singing melody but played none of the guitars and keyboards you hear on the songs. All those musical compositions and arrangements were done by professional musicians. Without them the songs she would sing would have gone nowhere. Someone had to make those musical arrangements.
      She also kept going downhill as a person as her fame grew. She never got out of that. She kept trying to make albums with current sounding music but her time eventually passed.

    “Lucky Star”, “Dress You Up”, “Burnin Up”, “Everybody”, “Crazy for You”, “Into the Groove” are some of her earlier songs that I enjoy. Madonna was always trending, changing/reinventing, pushing the boundaries
she influenced fashion, attitude, creative expression, and her songs and videos were always anticipated. She dominated for a long time.
    And there’s no doubt that she even captured the attention from hard rockers and metal heads that were closet-fans of hers. They probably have the maturity and guts these days to admit it, but back then probably had to keep it to themselves.

    It bears repeating how massive she was in the 80s and how much she changed the pop culture. Her fan base was more female than male, because while guys liked looking at her, the girls wanted to BE her. It's said that MTV turned a lot of musicians into stars in the 80s and 90s, but I don't think MTV would have become such a cultural force without Madonna -- SHE made MTV a star.

    Yall haven't done enough Madonna yet. She was HUGE during the '80s, '90s, and even the '00s. The Beyonce of years past. Music, fashion, dancer, movies, activists, etc. Madonna was a bit controversial in her younger years, though. Popular with the female (all races, didn't matter) crowd and they dressed like her as well. She was kind of pop, funk, new wave, dance music, alternative, electronica, etc. Very versatile during the years. . Very talented, pretty. Brad is right about Monroe vibes. Madonna was like Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Cher, Beyonce, Prince, Whitney Houston, Lady Gaga, etc level (long successful careers, globally popular), shoot, she's nicknamed the "Queen of Pop" for a reason! And also RnR Hall of Fame. Huge concert turnouts, all over radio/tv/media/newspapers/magazines/news, , culture, etc.
    And no, Stevie Nicks was more for the older crowd, was more so during the '70s, '80s, some '90s. She's a little older than Madonna and the older crowd (like our parents lol) was more into Stevie Nicks. Nicks also has more of a gypsy and witch vibes, style.
    Madonna is for the GenXers. I'd say that Madonna was probably way more popular, global compared to Nicks/Fleetwood Mac (mainly folk rock, hippie stuff). Madonna had way more hits than Nicks if I recall. Spanning decades. Nicks has also been on movies, but not as much as Madonna. Nicks/Fleetwood Mac are also RnR Hall of Famers, like Madonna as well.
    Crazy that yall have only done this song, "Material Girl", and a '90s song ( I forget which one, hasn't been uploaded yet..maybe "Frozen", "Erotica", "Beautiful Stranger", "Power of Good-Bye"? I forget which one it was ) so far. Yall need to react to more. I was not a huge Madonna fan, but do recall her being very popular during my youth. Good music and videos. She influenced many many future artists.
    Also dated, married many men in the past lol. Sean Penn (actor), Dennis Rodman (NBA player, almost had a baby with him), Carlos Leon (they have a pretty daughter), Guy Ritchie, Ahlamalik Williams (young dude, lol) etc. Young, old, rich, poor, celeb, non-celeb, black, white, Asian, hispanic, whatever, etc. Ha

      Depending on how you define "hit" this would have been her second (if counting Top 10 hits) or third (if counting Top 40 hits). "Holiday" was the first to crack the Top 40 at #16, followed by "Lucky Star" which reached #4, then this one which reached #10. *ETA* I stand corrected, Lucky Star was released before Borderline, but Borderline peaked first and Lucky Star rode up the charts afterward on Borderline's coattails.

    “Live To Tell” is one of my absolute favorites by her. It showed another side of her musically and vocally, and she’s really beautiful in the video. The song was used in the 1986 movie “At Close Range” starring Sean Penn, whom she was married to then. Good movie.

    Madonna was huge in the 80s and early 90s. Her music style was copied by many. She was an adequately talented vocalist, not a lot of range, but quite good so long as she stayed in her range. She was a fantastic dancer as well. She had a sense of fashion that combined with her attitude created a storm where tons of girls across the world did all they could to look like her. You take all of that and she was attractive enough to pull it all together, and you have a superstar. Her greatest talent though, wasn't on the stage, but was her business talent. She knew what she wanted, how she wanted to get it, and she knew how to negotiate with the best of them to make it all happen. You couldn't turn your head then without seeing her, hearing her, or seeing her influence somewhere.

    To answer Lex question directly yes to everything. It's important to understand she has 38 top 10 singles across 3 decades. Learning about her music is a deep it's a lot. She as artists drastically evolved Era to Era. Every 5 years she might as while be another artist. Her early stuff is more lighter pop stuff synth pop she became a fashion icon was important with MJ in Early MTV. but by the mid 80's she cut her hair and her 3rd album True Blue was more mature and orchestrated sounding. Towards the late 80's and into the 90's she became more alterative, meaningful and she took big artistic risk. "I'm a breathless" is basically a jazz album. "bedtime stories" is R&B album, "Ray of light" is experimental EDM. and Exotica is well Exotica.
    I want yall watch "La Isla Bonita", "Oh Father" "take a bow", "Frozen", "vogue", etc. just to get artistic range, I think Lex will like "Live to Tell"

    Girls of all ages worshipped Madonna. She pioneered fashion and performance throughout the 80s from 1983-90 and beyond. The way girls dressed, the millions of bangle bracelets that girls would wear, the hair - everything. She was a megastar for young girls and boys. Then in the late 80s/90s was when she became an icon for all kinds of groups - especially LGBT. She was always pushing the envelope and taking it a step further and her videos were as important as her music and messages. She was an all-around performer.

    People who weren't around back then can't comprehend how popular musicians like Madonna and Michael Jackson were. The internet didn't exist, and the superstars of the world were almost mysterious because you only found out about them by magazines. When an artist like Madonna or MJ dropped a new music video on MTV, or an album came out, people went nuts to see or hear it. Imagine Britney Spears or Lady Gaga's popularity multiplied by a million.
    I remember when I was a really young kid, MJ's Thriller video premiered on MTV and I was over my teenage babysitter's house. She must have had 30 friends over to watch it. They were freaking out like a damn UFO landed on the front lawn. It was a huge event for people.

    Here are the answers to what Brad and Lex wondered on this video about Madonna. In the 80s both males and females below 35 yrs old were her main fans. Her music remained very poppy but successful. Then, in the late 80s and 90s she started doing much better songs that pulled in an older audience while keeping her young fan base when she started recording songs like Isla Bonita for Spanish speaking fans and Just Like A Prayer for religious and black fans and Vogue for gays and straight people into club music and This Used To Be My Playground for people into ballads and people that lost a loved one and Don't Cry For Me Argentina got her fans of movies and Broadway plays and Frozen got her new fans from India and the Middle East with the Arab vibe of the song and in 2000 she capt it all off with the song Music that got her EDM and Acid Rock fans not to mention other great songs like Take A Bow that was a salute to China and Spain and the Dick Tracy soundtrack which was a salute to standards music Frank Sinatra style from the 1950s. So, Madonna was not just a singer that used auto tune. She doesn't have a voice like Mariah Carey. But, she is incredibly smart. She has helped write many of her hits. They used to break into her apartment in Manhattan, NYC and steal her Yamaha X7 which she used to compose some of her biggest hits. She has also been incredibly smart in answering her critics that tried to downplay her success because of her intense sequel nature of some of her videos. But, the fans grew for her when they saw how unique and talented she was and has always recorded songs that win over different parts of the world and rarely repeated herself or her look from album to album. Madonna is the real deal. Even the choreography in her show tours has always been the most difficult and has had more choreography dance moves than any artist ever from the beginning of her show until the end 95 percent of her live songs are action packed. All hail the American queen Madonna.
