King Baby

First they started comparing her to Beyonce, and now they don't even do it anymore. They compare her to Gaga as the top dog in the industry. Impressive.

Definately not. Its time to take "You Da One" to number 1.

Why wasn't this merged

11 number 1 singles.

What is success to you?

I repeat MADONNA IS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FEMALE IN MUSIC.

GWURL...Madonna is the MOST successful female of all times. Fuck LA Reid,

But you want to put Janet above Madonna based on the sales of the "janet." album...20 million for one album is great for Janet, but Madonna has done it more than her. Bailey find another angle cause that one is a FAIL.

WW

5 million is not a failure. Its not a blockbuster for the time, but money was MADE

She hated Madonna back then lol

Madonna has done 20 million a couple times. Janet just once.

Business wise it wasn't a failure. The "SEX" book released in that era was a best seller, the tour was sold out. It is considered to be one of the most important abums of her career and it set the plan for "Born This Way"... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotica_(Madonna_album) Erotica is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Madonna, released on October 20, 1992 by Maverick Records, three years after her previous studio album. Madonna worked mostly with Shep Pettibone, as well as André Betts. Famously released simultaneously with Madonna's first book publication, Sex, the album is driven by its sexual themes. It is Madonna's first album to feature a Parental Advisory sticker. The album incorporates influences from house music, new jack swing, and lounge music. Many of the songs see Madonna at her most provocative, drawing from themes of sex and romance, such as the lead single and title track "Erotica". Madonna was also inspired by the idea of homosexuality, particularly in the album's second single "Deeper and Deeper". Others take on a more confessional tone, influenced by the loss of two of Madonna's close friends to the AIDS epidemic. Visually, Madonna was inspired by the works of Andy Warhol and BDSM culture. Erotica was met with generally favorable reviews from critics. Rolling Stone described the album as "a post-AIDS album about romance." Commercially, the album failed to live up to the success of its predecessors, possibly due to the negative backlash surrounding the album's sexuality. Peaking at number two on the Billboard 200, the album was certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. It peaked in the top five in most territories, topping the charts in Australia. Six singles were released from the album – "Erotica", "Deeper and Deeper", "Bad Girl", "Fever", "Rain" and "Bye Bye Baby". The album failed to produce any number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Worldwide the album has sold over 5 million copies. The Erotica era has more recently been seen as one of Madonna's most important due to the controversy surrounding it. She faced strong negative publicity from critics who commented that "she had gone too far" and that her career was over. The album, however, spawned the critically successful Girlie Show World Tour.

Earth, Wind and Fire always sell out.

Its still NOT a failure and "The Girlie Show" was HUGE!

"Immaculate Collection" is DIAMOND...Deal with that bitch.

"AMerican Life" cleared 5 million worldwide, and "Erotica" did 2 million in the states alone. Thats not a failure at all.

Madonna made hard moves in the 90s though. Its where her biggest singles come from, and even though she was snatched by Janet she was still succcessful. "Ray of Light" was HUGE as was "Bedtime Stories"...

Madonna has never not been successful.

:lmao: :lmao:

wow

my type of guy!

Yup and she even went from cute young girl to all out hoe just like Mariah did.

Beyonce and Gaga are the new Janet and Madonna. Rhi Rhi is something new and different.

6'1 and 170 is not height weight proportionate. Way too skinny.
