The Queen of Pop reigns again!
As if going down in history as the highest grossing solo touring artist in history wasn’t enough to make her 2016 great, now reports have it Madonna‘s being honored by Billboard as “the woman of the year.”
Sweet news for the ‘Candy Shop’ singer inside:
When the 11th annual Billboard Women In Music event hits New York City this winter, royalty will be present.
The seven-time Grammy winner will receive the honor at the 11th annual Women in Music event, held Dec. 9 in New York City and airing nationally on Lifetime on Dec.12. The star-studded event is held in conjunction with the publication of Billboard’s Women in Music list, which identifies the 50 most powerful female executives in the industry each year.

They’re weird bc they choose the most random years to do these things for certain ppl
Like for instance I would’ve expected her to be one of the first they honored
Why is she after ci, Gaga etc?
What makes her woman of the year 2016 if she wasn’t it 2008 or 2012, years she had albums
Queen
She hustled hard like Beyonce and she deserves it
U betta work grandma!
Madonna does not get the love she deserves. She has paved the way for the last 30 years and is the biggest selling female in history.
How @ gabe
madonna is far from underrated
Why??
Queen of purchasing achievements and status.
She’s a certified legend.
It’s not like she needs any more accolades ?
34 year’s in the game!! That’s longevity! Congratulations Madonna!
34 years as a solo female artist in the game, 65 million certified albums sold (TWO of them diamond, not these inflated numbers), a billion dollars+ in tour gross (virtually untouched female touring titan), 3 of the greatest albums ever recorded (True Blue, Like a Virgin & Ray of Light), the best selling compilation album by a solo artist of all time, multiple Billboard chart records (all those top 10 hits, all those dance chart entries etc etc etc) AND the greatest “F*** YOU” attitude by any artist. These numbers aren’t cooked, they’re all on the scoreboard.
The title of Queen doesn’t come close. One of a very few people to whom the word ICON genuinely applies.
Not you giving Confessions (Madge’s Magnum Opus) the cold shoulder.

But then here you have a couple of Rihanna fans who believe Rihanna is bigger than what Madonna has ever been 🙂 🙂 🙂
She can’t sing so I’m not impressed.
Coming from a Rihanna stan? lmao At least Madonna can perform, own a stage, play some instruments and is responsible for the innovation throughout her career in big proportions. Not a puppet who is given songs.
I beg to differ severely. This was Beyoncé and Rihanna’s year.
Congratulations. Well-deserved.
Yes we all know all these awards are bought. But Madonna deserves something like this, now or years ago. Her status was well earned. After being such a big force and icon for the first part of her career then she was able to “come back” with more critical acclaim than ever and also rare success for a woman in her late 30s and 40s with 4 phenomenal albums back to back from 1998 (Ray of Light) to 2005 (Confessions). Her career is amazing and she has actually had something to do with it if you know what I mean 🙂
Weird bc they normally give it the women who were the most successful that year, not just to give it out. ciara, katy perry and fergie all got this award, so is it based on that year’s achievements or is it like a legends awards? i am just confused. taylor swift was honored twice. but hey, good job
Nice
