September 17 marked the kick off of Madonna‘s eleventh headlining concert trek, the ‘Madame X’ tour.

Designed to support the Pop Queen’s latest chart-topping album, ‘Madame X,’ the jaunt’s launch at Brooklyn’s Academy of Music dazzled concertgoers last night and was met with mostly favorable reviews.  Announced in May, Madge’s latest road trip sees the diva dance away from the arenas and stadiums of her previous touring efforts to play a series of theaters.  Mounting mini-residencies in select cities around the world including London, Lisbon, Paris, Las Vegas, New York, Chicago, and more, the limited seating at each location continues to overwhelm promoters with demand for encores.

The result?

The ‘Music’ star will be bringing her music to even more cities, upping the tour’s total (as of time reported) to a whopping 92 stops between now and March 2020.  And, at the rate tickets are going, that number’s only set to increase.

Rihanna once stood as the unapologetic dispenser of an album a year. These days, though, she’s apologising for not dropping a project in three calendar years.

Recent times have seen RiRi establish herself as a trail-blazing entrepreneur, with successful ventures such as Fenty Beauty, Savage Fenty, and the Fenty luxury line in partnership with LVMH.

Still, music is on the mind. And it appears some major movement behind the scenes may explain the hold up.

Nicki Minaj isn’t the only musician calling for an end to online bullying.

Jesy Nelson, one member of the brilliant girl group Little Mix, is speaking up and out about her experiences in the music industry and how vile abuse launched at her by cowards online drove her into a deep sadness and stifling depression.

The star teamed up with the BBC to create a show named ‘Odd One Out’ which sees her bare all on what happened when she became a member of the group (formed by Kelly Rowland) and was thrust into the public eye.

Today, she is a survivor.

Madonna‘s long been regarded as the most successful female recording artist in history thanks not only to her reported 300+ million in record sales, but also a nearly unrivaled 36-year run on the Billboard charts – namely the Hot 100.

Granted, her reigns atop the Billboard 200 with 9 of her 14 studio albums are nothing to shake a stick at (placing her second among women for most career chart-toppers as Barbra Streisand leads with 11), the Queen of Pop’s truest crowning glory has come with the strides she’s made on the singles chart.  With 38 top 10 hits (12 of them hitting #1), she – as of time reported – sits in history books for having the most placements on the chart’s topmost dectet.  Other notable accomplishments include first female artist in history to have 6 (or more) #1 singles, most consecutive top 5 singles of any artist, and she was once listed as the artist who took the shortest time to amass 20 top 10 singles (a feat later surpassed by Rihanna as we reported here).

At present, Madge stands to see another member of the new school – Taylor Swift – break another of her longstanding records:  most top 20 singles of all time (among females).  Details inside:
