Another Queen that rules...

@Absolute Madonna
Madonna (born Madonna Louise Ciccone, August 16, 1958) is an American singer, songwriter, actress and entrepreneur. She has sold more than 300 million records worldwide and is recognized as the world's top-selling female recording artist of all time by Guinness World Records. Considered to be one of the 25 Most Powerful Women of the Past Century by Time for being an influential figure in contemporary music, she is known for continuously reinventing both her music and image, and for retaining a standard of autonomy within the recording industry. Critics have praised her diverse musical productions which have also served as a lightning rod for controversy.

Every pop star of the last two to three decades has Madonna to thank in some part for his or her success. Madonna left her home state of Michigan with $35 in her pocket and a dream to make it in New York City, and far exceeded that goal with hit singles like "Vogue""Like a Virgin" and "Hung Up". The one named wonder's memorable music videos and live performances, which almost always include extravagant dance numbers, over the top outfits and eyebrow raising concepts, made her one of MTV's most popular artists. After causing no shortage of controversy with her unabashed sexuality and outspokenness, Madonna has since turned some of her efforts toward being a mother and humanitarian, but not before cementing her place in pop culture as the best selling female rock artist of the 20th century.

The MDNA Tour (also known as the 2012 World Tour) is the ninth concert tour by American entertainer Madonna. It promotes her twelfth studio album, MDNA and will visit Asia, Europe and the Americas. The tour is expected to be extended into 2013, with shows in Australia. It features the singer's first concert appearances in the United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, and Colombia. It will follow her record-breaking Sticky & Sweet Tour and is the second concert tour under her 360 deal with Live Nation Entertainment.

Her Majesty and The Super Bowl

The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL), the highest level of professional American football in the United States, culminating a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. This game is held at a selected site, usually a city that hosts an NFL team. The Super Bowl uses Roman numerals to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held.

The day on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered by some an American national holiday, is called 'Super Bowl Sunday'. It is the second-largest day for US food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, The Super Bowl has frequently been the most watched American television broadcast of the year. The Super Bowl is also among the most watched sporting events in the world, mostly due to North American audiences. Because of its high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year because the viewing count of the Super Bowl is an average of 100,000,000 people every year. Due to the high cost of investing in advertising on the Super Bowl, companies regularly develop their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, many popular singers and musicians have performed during the event's pre-game and halftime ceremonies because of the exposure.
