KEY POINTS:
Pop mastermind Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone Ritchie turned 50 on Saturday.
The lady of perpetual promotion has entertained us with her many guises and acts of controversy for over two decades. And with a new album under her belt and a sell-out world tour on the way, the hitmaker shows no signs of hanging up her fishnet stockings.
Madonna has sold in excess of 200 million albums worldwide since she first burst onto the music scene with her debut album in 1983. In short, she's a legend.
We celebrate the Queen of pop's milestone with a retrospective look at the self-proclaimed lady of reinvention's best songs, as chosen by the NZ Herald Online editorial team.
