In this special edition 132-page magazine, we turn our attention to Madonna – still the undisputed Queen Of Pop – and examine her monumental career decade by decade from her humble, cult beginnings in Eighties clubland right through to the pioneering albums, bold artistic statements and humanitarian concerns of the present day. More than just an entertainer, Madonna has always tackled political issues head on from sexuality and misogyny through to race and ageism. She shocked the world in a wedding dress at the very first MTV Awards and continues to make her voice heard to the present day as Billboard's Woman Of The Year 2016. Elsewhere in the issue we take a detailed look at her many different collaborations – with Stephen Bray, Prince, William Orbit, Stuart Price and Mirwais - and offer our top ten choice cuts from the lesser known corners of her discography. On top of that, we explore a powerful catalogue of boundary-breaking music videos, her record-breaking live spectaculars and a filmography - as both actor and director - that has run both hot-and-cold. Plus, we throw open the doors of her iconic wardrobe to take a look at her changing look throughout her career. Madonna Ciccone is without doubt one of the most fascinating - and inspirational - artists to walk the Earth. We hope you enjoy the issue!
