The Material Girl continues her three-decade plus reign with the release of her 13th studio album "Rebel Heart" which debuted at #1 in over 40 countries on the charts around the world. Madonna recently made record chart history with her 45th No. 1 single ("Ghosttown") on Billboard's Dance Charts giving her the most No. 1 songs of any artist ever on the Billboard charts!

Madonna's reputation as one of the most revolutionary and inventive performers of all time will culminate this year when her highly anticipated worldwide Rebel Heart Tour kicks off in Montreal on September 9th. Her previous sold out MDNA Tour was the most successful tour of 2012.
