Love her or hate her, Madonna is on strong form at the moment. Not only is her new album “Hard Candy” set to top the album charts, her current single “4 minutes” with JT is currently at Number One.
As if this wasn’t enough, she’s billed to headline at Radio 1’s Big Weekend , Mote Park Maidstone Kent on Saturday 10th May.
2008 has already been a massive year for Madonna.
January saw her heading Sunsilks first Gobal advertising campaign alongside Shakira and late icon Marilyn Monroe. The eye catching pictures tell us of each famous story, through the changing styles of their hair. Each look inspired a new chapter in their lives. The idea was to show hair as an inspiring tool of expression.
Back in February, her Confessions Tour won Madonna her seventh Grammy award and in March the official press release date was given for her up and coming album.
April 24th will undoubtedly see hundreds of fans rushing to buy their copy of “Hard Candy”.
The singers clear skin and youthful looks not only make her a worlwide icon, but a model advert for the more mature women in society.
At the same time, her revealing costumes leave little to the imagination, provoking criticism for flaunting her over forty body.
All considered, with Madonna headlining at Radio Ones big weekend, alongside the likes of Usher and Robyn, the remainder of this “Material Girl”s year looks set to be more successful than ever.

I think it’s fantastic that Madonna is still a recognised name after all the years that she has had in the music industry. She obviously is a grafter who works hard at her talent but at the same time, explores new fields and genres to help preserve her talent for future generations.
This is all to apparent in her new work which features Justin Timberlake. Collaborating with someone who is much much younger is a wise career move for the queen of pop who hits 50 this August. The number one track, ‘4 minutes’ is still in the number one spot in the UK charts after 7 weeks.
Madonna has now been in the music industry for over 20 years and has adapted to the new styles of music that have evolved over the time. Often creating catchy tunes and occasionally working with other renowned artist; it’s clear that retirement is not an option on the cards.
It’s nice to see that we have some actual talent in the music industry at the moment. Someone that has stood the test of time and someone that still is coming out top with exciting new material. I think that it is also interesting how she has fallen into other lines of work as well, from her recent Sunsilk advertising campaign to a cameo appearance in James Bond in 2002.
Obviously the years of hard work for Madonna continue to inspire her to make fantastic future material.
