For fans of the ever-wild “Queen of Pop”, today is tantamount to a national holiday. And honestly, if we took a holiday, took some time to celebrate just one day out of life, it would be so nice.
As of October 6th, Madonna‘s hit debut single “Everybody” has turned the big 4-0. Looking back, it was a minor hit for her. Number three on the dance charts is nothing to scoff at for a debut — though it is a bit moreso for the singer who now has fifty number one dance chart singles spanning decades.
For a track kicking off such an illustrious career, it really was just a cute little ’80s pop track about having everybody dance and sing.
Get into the original groove:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The anniversary has folks reminiscing on the past forty years of her reign. She’s kind of had it all; enduring hits, iconic beefs, cone bras and erotica and the one recent vagina NFT. A career this long is bound to have a couple misfires, okay?
For the most part, people are just getting their nostalgia on.
Let’s check in with the stans:

I absolutely love this woman and I am so happy that she is still here making some feel people uncomfortable and inspiring millions of people around the world. Critics says she’s over and not relevant but she’s the only artist to always have 5-6 of her past albums always charting, her tours sell out breaking records that only she can beat and her music is streamed just as much as younger artists. Not to mention how outspoken she has been about gay rights, from day 1! Thank you to whomever is in charge for giving us MADONNA.
abfab
She was on Letterman like a zillion times, but if you didn’t catch the one where she shared the couch with our other favorite mess, Sandra Bernhard……..do so. My favorite LP of hers is still EROTICA.
bachy
Hmmm… this site needs to be reporting on Madonna’s frenemy Ms Sandra…who, like Madonna, continues to kick ass, take names and look fierce the entire time!!
FreddieW
Sorry. Have never cared for her. And the mouth grill she flashed on Jimmy Fallon didn’t help any. Annie Lennox is my choice for queen of all music. And Dave Gahan would be king.

That’s okay . Everyone is entitled to their opinion . But why even post a negative comment here . Why not go post on a Annie Lennox site . Don’t get me wrong I love Annie Lenox but. I just don’t understand why people post negative comments and waste their time on people they don’t like . This is a post about her accomplishments and be enjoyed by her fans and nobody cares about your opinion .
Gabby
OMG eboger37 So well said. I also don’t understand why people leave negative comments when the post is clearly celebrating her accomplishments. She’s so grea.
FreddieW
I don’t post on music fan club sites. I post on gay sites because I’m gay. And the myth that we all like the same artists and the same movies is just that.
FreddieW
And if the same standard that is being applied to gay films were applied to music, we should all think Melissa Etheridge is the greatest female artist, not Madonna.
FreddieW
By the way, I didn’t post anything negative about Madonna’s music. Only her mouth grill. And I’ll be happy to post that about Annie Lennox, should she ever exhibit the bad taste to wear one.
Gabby
Dude your clearly obsessed with her. How many comments have you left here? You see how that works?
FreddieW
The multiple comments are because I’ve found if you edit your comment, it goes into “awaiting moderation” for all eternity.
Jim
Madonna the has been media whore?
What’s to celebrate?
Gabby
She’s such a has been that you clicked on the article and commented. It seems like she’s pretty relevant in your mind.
FreddieW
Gay media keeps her relevant by telling us she’s a gay icon.
Man About Town
She continues to sell out concert tours and recordings. Not too shabby for a “has been media whore,” huh Jimbo?
