Madonna has announced a major world tour marking her 40th anniversary, including a show at London's O2 Arena.
The announcement comes after weeks of speculation the Queen of Pop had been planning something big to celebrate her career since the release of her self-titled debut album, which launched her on the path to stardom with hits including Holiday, Lucky Star and Borderline.
In 2022, she became the first woman to chart in the US Billboard top 10 in every decade since the 1980s. Over the years she has been known for continuously reinventing her music and her image, with hits including Like A Virgin, Into The Groove, Papa Don't Preach and Like A Prayer in the 1980s; Vogue, Justify My Love, Erotica and Frozen in the 1990s; and Music, Hung Up, Sorry and collaborations with Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in the 2000s.
Her first greatest hits album, The Immaculate Collection, released in 1990, is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with reported sales of around 30 million. Overall, she is reported to have sold up to 300 million records worldwide. She was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2008, her first year of eligibility, described in her introduction as"the record-setting, line-crossing, sexuality-flaunting, ever-evolving Material Girl".
