Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Madonna had at least one Top 40 single every year from 1983 onward, except for what year?

Answer: 1988

The only year Madonna has not had a single enter the Top 40 was in 1988. This was only because she did not release a single in that year.

2. Of these Madonna songs, which peaked at the lowest Billboard chart position?

Answer: Nothing Really Matters

'Nothing Really Matters' peaked on the Billboard Top 200 at 93 in 1999. 'Bedtime Story' peaked at number 42, while 'What It Feels Like for a Girl' peaked at number 23. 'Oh Father' was the only single off of 'Like a Prayer' not to be in the Top 10 when it peaked at number 20 in 1989.

3. What was Madonna's longest running number one?

Answer: Take a Bow

Madonna's 'Take a Bow' stayed at number one for an astonishing seven weeks in 1994. 'Vogue' stayed at number one for three weeks, while 'Music' stayed there for four. 'Like a Prayer' was the biggest hit off the album of the same name, staying at number one for three weeks.

4. Which of these Madonna albums did NOT debut at Number One on the U.S. Billboard charts?

Answer: Ray of Light

Five of Madonna's albums have debuted at number one. Considering she's only put out nine studio albums (16, including soundtracks and greatest hits albums), that is quite a track record. The albums that have debuted at number one are: 'Like a Virgin', 'True Blue', 'Like a Prayer', 'Music', and 'American Life'. 'Ray of Light' was held back from the number one position for two weeks by the 'Titanic' soundtrack, even though, at the time, it had the highest two weeks sales records of any Madonna album ever released.

5. Of the sixteen albums Madonna has released from her debut in 1983 to 'American Life' in 2003, how many have been certified platinum (more than 1,000,000 copies sold)?

Answer: 16

Every album that she has ever released has been certified platinum. If she releases it, the people buy it.

6. What was Madonna's first number one single?

Answer: Like a Virgin

No singles off of her debut album reached any farther than the Top 10. Her sophomore album, 'Like a Virgin', spawned six massive hits, every one of them in the Top 5, including the title track, which climbed to the top spot in November of 1984.

7. Name Madonna's second studio album, which for a long time was her bestselling album ever.

Answer: Like a Virgin

Madonna's 'Like a Virgin' went on to sell in excess of 10 million copies in the U.S. (which qualified her for the Diamond Sales Award).

8. Before the single 'Music' hit the number one spot in 2000, what was Madonna's last number one song?

Answer: Take a Bow

To find her previous number one before 'Music', one has to go back six years to December 1994 when she released 'Take a Bow'. 'Frozen' and 'Ray of Light' were held back from the number one spot by Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On (and on and on and on and on...)' and Brandy and Monica's 'The Boy is Mine' respectively. 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina' did hit number one on the dance charts, but only reached number eight on the Billboard Hot 100.

9. What Madonna single was her first single to be released as a DVD single?

Answer: Music

Although 'What It Feels Like for a Girl' was released as a DVD single, the title track from her album, 'Music', was released first as a DVD single. 'Ray of Light' and 'Justify My Love' were only initially released as VHS singles.

10. 'Music' was Madonna's ______ number one single.

Answer: 12th

'Music' was Madonna's 12th number one hit. She stands only behind Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, The Beatles, and Elvis. She has had 34 top 10 hits. Only Elvis Presley has had more. Queen of Pop indeed...
