No. 2: Madonna, the Material Girl who ruled the world

During an appearance on “American Bandstand” in 1983, Dick Clark asked an up-and-coming young singer what her career aspirations were. With a smile, she matter-of-factly said, “I want to rule the world.” All hail Queen Madonna!
Twenty-five years, 12 Billboard No. 1 songs, worldwide album sales totaling hundreds of millions and a Golden Globe later, she has ruled with a velvet fist. Besides her numerous accolades, Madonna has influenced fashion, dance and pop culture for an entire generation.
Not bad for a girl from Bay City, Michigan.
