Last evening, Madonna made music chart history by scoring her 45th No. 1 single on Billboard‘s Dance Club Songs chart. Billboard explains the achievement.
“The Queen of Pop is now unequaled chart royalty. Madonna makes momentous Billboard chart history, as she now has the most No. 1s ever, 45, by an act on a singular Billboard chart. She earns her 45th No. 1 on Dance Club Songs, where ‘Ghosttown’ lifts 3-1.”
“Thanks to all my fans on and off the dancefloor. I’ll (always) be your partner,” Madonna told Billboard. Most of the comments after the article tried to demean Madonna’s achievement by saying the Dance Club Songs chart is irrelevant, Madonna is too old to be singing club songs, and that Madonna should just retire. However, commenter Ted Lopez sees a double standard.
“This is major news, but the mainstream media refuses to publicize it. If this were Bruce Springsteen or Mick Jagger who set the record, it would be on the front page of every website and newspaper. The sexism and ageism on display when it comes to Madonna so infuriating that it becomes hilarious at the same time.”
