Music executive Jimmy Ienner passed on Madonna noting “I don’t think she is ready yet“. Madonna signed with Sire Records in 1982, and her debut record sold 10 million copies. It was that moment when Jimmy Ienner knew he messed up.

Madonna made the Guinness Book of World Records in 1988 with her third studio album, True Blue. Since then, she has earned multiple appearances, some 20 at least in February 2012, including her insigne record title as the top-selling female recording artist of all time.
