Madonna first woman to have top 10 album on Billboard chart in every decade since 1980s

Madonna has hit another massive milestone moment in her music career.

The 64-year-old has become the first female to land an album in the Billboard 200 top 10 every decade since the early 1980s.

Since her self-titled debut in 1983, the Queen of Pop has sat in the top 10 in the 80s, 90s, 200s, 10s and now, officially, in the 20s.

Her new remix compilation, Finally Enough Love, debuts at No. 8 on the September 3-dated chart.

According to Billboard, Madonna is the 10th act to have achieved this distinction – and the other nine are all solo male artists or groups comprising men.

She logged a total of five top 10s on the Billboard 200 in the 1980s (Madonna, Like a Virgin, True Blue, the Who’s That Girl soundtrack and Like a Prayer).

Seven in the ‘90s (I’m Breathless: Music From and Inspired by the Film Dick Tracy, The Immaculate Collection, Erotica, Bedtime Stories, Something to Remember, the Evita soundtrack and Ray of Light).

Six in the 2000s (Music, GHV2: Greatest Hits Volume 2, American Life, Confessions on a Dance Floor, Hard Candy and Celebration).

In the ‘10s she had four (Sticky & Sweet Tour, MDNA, Rebel Heart and Madame X).

Of those 23 top 10s, nine reached No. 1: Like a Virgin, True Blue, Like a Prayer, Music, American Life, Confessions on a Dance Floor, Hard Candy, MDNA and Madame X.

Speaking of her new album, Madonna said: “I named this record Finally Enough Love because at the end of the day, love is what makes the world go round.”

She told Harper’s Bazaar: “It also is representative of one of my biggest loves in life, which is dance.

“I love to dance, and I love to inspire people to dance, so with 50 number one dance hits, that is a lot of love to share.”

It comes after she stunned her fans by sharing throwback pics from her teenage years.

The pop icon had a number of differing looks over the decades and her latest snaps from yesteryear are sure to get her fans talking.

Madge uploaded the snaps to her Instagram Story via TikTok and she introduced them by lying on her mustard-coloured settee. She was seen wearing blue couture jogging bottoms and a black corset with lacy black gloves.

She captioned the post: "The ORIGINAL teenage dirtbag photos," before a reel of photos of her as a teen scrolled across the page while Wheatus' song of the same name played in the background.

The first image was a black and white snap showing a young Madonna grasping onto a pole while wearing only a hooped t-shirt.

Her now-blonde locks were nowhere to be seen as she styled her short dark hair brushed back.

The next had her hair a bit longer as the wavy style swept onto her shoulders while she sat on the grass outside her home. She was wearing high-waisted blue jeans and a red crop top.

The third image she shared showed the music legend with yet another style change as she rocked her short hair once again but this time with blonde highlights.

She accessorised her new look with a range of punk-ish bracelets as she wore a plain white t-shirt while she posed leaning on an oven.

By the final upload she had platinum blonde shoulder-length locks reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe. She wore a lacy vest and donned chunky black sunglasses.
