Ποιος χρονολόγησε Madonna;

Madonna, mononyme de Madonna Louise Ciccone, née le 16 août 1958 à Bay City (Michigan), est une autrice-compositrice-interprète, danseuse, actrice, productrice de cinéma, réalisatrice et femme d'affaires américaine. Considérée comme l'une des plus grandes stars internationales depuis les années 1980, elle est souvent citée comme une influence majeure sur de nombreux artistes du XXI^e siècle.

Arrivée en 1978 à New York pour poursuivre une carrière de danseuse, Madonna signe chez Sire Records en 1982 et sort son premier album, Madonna, l'année suivante. Celui-ci est suivi d'une série d'albums rencontrant à la fois un important succès critique et commercial : les albums Like a Virgin (1984) et True Blue (1986) et The Immaculate Collection (1990) se vendent chacun à plus de 20 millions d'exemplaires tandis que Ray of Light (1998) et Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005) sont récompensés par des Grammy Awards. Plusieurs de ses singles atteignent le sommet des classements musicaux, tels que Holiday, Like a Virgin, Into the Groove, La isla bonita, Like a Prayer, Vogue, Frozen, Music, Hung Up et 4 Minutes.

Désignée par le Livre Guinness des records comme étant la chanteuse ayant vendu le plus de disques de tous les temps avec plus de 400 millions d'exemplaires écoulés, Madonna est intronisée au Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Surnommée « The Queen of Pop » (« La Reine de la Pop »), elle explore également d'autres genres comme la dance, le disco, la musique électronique, le rock, le jazz et le RnB. Sa capacité à réinventer son image et sa musique au fil des années ainsi que ses prises de position et ses provocations sur des sujets comme la religion, la sexualité ou la politique contribuent largement à sa notoriété.

Madonna mène également une carrière au cinéma : si elle reçoit des critiques positives pour son premier film en tant qu'actrice, Recherche Susan désespérément (1985), et remporte un Golden Globe pour son rôle dans Evita en 1996, la plupart de ses films reçoivent un accueil mitigé, voire glacial. À la suite de ces échecs, elle se tourne vers la réalisation à partir de 2008.

Avec une fortune estimée à 850 millions de dollars par le magazine Forbes en juin 2025, Madonna figure parmi les chanteuses les mieux payées au monde. Elle est l'une des artistes dont les tournées ont rapporté plus d'un milliard de dollars de recettes depuis 1990.

Jean-Michel Basquiat ( BAH-skee-AH(T), French: [ʒɑ̃ miʃɛl baskja]; December 22, 1960 – August 12, 1988) was an American artist who rose to success during the 1980s as part of the neo-expressionism movement.

Basquiat first achieved notoriety in the late 1970s as part of the graffiti duo SAMO, alongside Al Diaz, writing enigmatic epigrams all over Manhattan, particularly in the cultural hotbed of the Lower East Side where disco, punk, and street art coalesced into early hip-hop culture. By the early 1980s, his paintings were being exhibited in galleries and museums internationally. At 21, Basquiat became the youngest artist to ever take part in Documenta in Kassel, Germany. At 22, he became one of the youngest to exhibit at the Whitney Biennial in New York. The Whitney Museum of American Art held a retrospective of his artwork in 1992.

Basquiat's art focused on dichotomies such as wealth versus poverty, integration versus segregation, and inner versus outer experience. He appropriated poetry, drawing, and painting, and married text and image, abstraction, figuration, and historical information mixed with contemporary critique. He used social commentary in his paintings as a tool for introspection and for identifying with his experiences in the black community, as well as attacks on power structures and systems of racism.

Basquiat died at the age of 27 in 1988 of a heroin overdose. Since then, his work has steadily increased in value. In 2017, Untitled, a 1982 painting depicting a black skull with red-and-yellow rivulets, sold for a record-breaking $110.5 million, becoming one of the most expensive paintings ever purchased.

In December 2016, Billboard magazine ranked him as the 99th most successful dance artist of all-time.

Ο Τζον Φιτζέραλντ Κένεντι τζούνιορ (αγγλικά:John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr., 25 Νοεμβρίου 1960 – 16 Ιουλίου 1999) ήταν Αμερικανός δικηγόρος, εκδότης και γιος του δολοφονηθέντα προέδρου των Η.Π.Α. Τζον Φιτζέραλντ Κένεντι και της Ζακλίν Μπουβιέ Κένεντι.

Γεννήθηκε λίγες μέρες μετά την εκλογή του πατέρα του ως προέδρου των ΗΠΑ και από την αρχή της ζωής του τα φώτα της δημοσιότητας έπεσαν πάνω του. Τα πρώτα χρόνια της ζωής του έζησε στον Λευκό Οίκο και μετά τη δολοφονία του πατέρα του μετακόμισε στη Νέα Υόρκη. Σπούδασε νομικά και εργάστηκε ως δικηγόρος μέχρι τη δεκαετία του '90 όταν και τα παράτησε για να εκδώσει το περιοδικό "George".

Στις 16 Ιουλίου 1999 και ενώ κατευθυνόταν προς την Μασαχουσέτη όπου θα πραγματοποιείτο ο γάμος της ξαδέρφης του Ρόρι Κένεντι κατέπεσε το ιδιωτικό του αεροπλάνο, το οποίο πιλόταρε, στις ακτές του Ατλαντικού Ωκεανού. Στο αεροσκάφος επέβαιναν η σύζυγός του, Κάρολαϊν Μπεσέτ, και η αδερφή της, οι οποίες και πέθαναν μαζί με τον Τζον Κένεντι. Το πτώμα του ανασύρθηκε τις επόμενες μέρες και η τέφρα του διασκορπίστηκε στη θάλασσα.

Robert Matthew Van Winkle (born October 31, 1967), known professionally as Vanilla Ice, is an American rapper, singer, actor, and television host. Born in Dallas and raised in Miami, he was the first solo white rapper to achieve commercial success, following the 1990 release of his best-known hit "Ice Ice Baby". He is credited with breaking down racial barriers in rap and hip-hop for future white rappers, most notably Eminem.

Ice released his debut album, Hooked, on the independent Ichiban Records before signing a contract with SBK Records, a record label of the EMI Group, which released a reformatted version under the title To the Extreme; it became the fastest-selling hip hop album of all time and "Ice Ice Baby" was the first hip hop single to top the Billboard Hot 100. Followed by the live album Extremely Live (1991), Ice made a cameo appearance on the film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991) where he performed "Ninja Rap", which he co-wrote. He was soon offered and starred in his own film, Cool as Ice (1991), which included the single "Cool as Ice (Everybody Get Loose)" with Naomi Campbell; the film itself was a box office failure.

His fast rise in popularity was quickly marred by media controversies about his background. Ice later regretted his business arrangements with SBK, who had also published fabricated biographical information without his knowledge. Ice's second studio album, Mind Blowin' (1994), featured a major image change but was commercially unsuccessful. Following rap rock performances in the underground scene and playing in a local grunge band, Ice released the dark nu metal album Hard to Swallow (1998), followed by the independently released Bi-Polar (2001) and Platinum Underground (2005).

In the 2000s, Ice began appearing on television reality shows including The Surreal Life. In 2010, Ice began hosting The Vanilla Ice Project on DIY Network which ran for nine seasons until 2019. In 2022, he started another home improvement television program, The Vanilla Ice Home Show. He is also involved in motocross racing and real estate.

Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez (born July 27, 1975), nicknamed "A-Rod", is an American former professional baseball shortstop and third baseman and current businessman. Rodriguez played 22 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Seattle Mariners (1994–2000), Texas Rangers (2001–2003), and New York Yankees (2004–2013, 2015–2016). Rodriguez is the chairman and chief executive officer of A-Rod Corp as well as the chairman of Presidente beer. He owns a controlling interest in the National Basketball Association's Minnesota Timberwolves with Marc Lore. Rodriguez began his professional baseball career as one of the sport's most highly touted prospects and is considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time.

With a career .295 batting average, Rodriguez amassed over 600 home runs (696), over 2,000 runs batted in (RBI), over 2,000 runs scored, over 3,000 hits, and over 300 stolen bases, the only player in MLB history to achieve all of those feats. He was also a 14-time All-Star, winning three American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards, 10 Silver Slugger Awards, and two Gold Glove Awards. Rodriguez is also the career record holder for grand slams. During the 2000s decade, Rodriguez led all players in home runs (435), runs batted in (1,243), runs scored (1,190), and total bases (3,362).

The Mariners selected Rodriguez first overall in the 1993 MLB draft, and he debuted in the major leagues the following year at the age of 18. In 1996, he became the Mariners' starting shortstop, won the major league batting title, and finished second in voting for the AL MVP Award. His combination of power, speed, and defense made him a cornerstone of the franchise, but he left the team via free agency after the 2000 season to join the Rangers. The 10-year, $252 million contract he signed was the richest in baseball history at the time. He played at a high level in his three years with Texas, winning his first AL MVP Award win in 2003, but the team failed to make the playoffs. Before the 2004 season, Rodriguez was traded to the Yankees, for whom he converted to a third baseman to accommodate their shortstop Derek Jeter. He was named AL MVP in 2005 and 2007. He opted out of his contract after the 2007 season, then signed a new 10-year, $275 million deal with the Yankees, breaking his own record for the sport's most lucrative contract. He became the youngest player to hit 500 home runs, reaching the milestone in 2007. He helped the Yankees win the 2009 World Series over the Philadelphia Phillies, Rodriguez's only championship title. Toward the end of his career, he was hampered by hip and knee injuries, which caused him to become exclusively a designated hitter. He played his final game in professional baseball on August 12, 2016.

Despite denying in a 2007 interview that he had ever used performance-enhancing drugs, Rodriguez admitted in 2009 to having used steroids, saying he used them from 2001 to 2003 when playing for the Rangers due to "an enormous amount of pressure" to perform. While recovering from a hip injury in 2013, Rodriguez made headlines by feuding with team management over his rehabilitation and for having allegedly obtained performance-enhancing drugs as part of the Biogenesis scandal. In August 2013, MLB announced a 211-game suspension for Rodriguez for his involvement in the scandal. After an arbitration hearing, the suspension was reduced to 162 games, which kept him off the field for the entire 2014 season.

After retiring as a player, Rodriguez became a media personality, serving as a broadcaster for Fox Sports, a cast member of Shark Tank and a contributor to ABC News. In January 2018, ESPN announced that Rodriguez would be joining the broadcast team of Sunday Night Baseball.
