Madonna pens emotional post as her album create history

Los Angeles, July 14

The Queen of Pop, Madonna, whose album Confessions II became her 10th Number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, has made her the first female artist to score the Number 1 album in 5 consecutive decades.

The singer-songwriter recently took to her Instagram, and shared a series of pictures from Madonna's Club Confessions pop-up performance at the Knockdown Center in Brooklyn.

She penned a long note, as she wrote, "Words cannot express how Grateful and Surprised I am By the incredible reception Confessions on a dance Floor has received !! Thank You -to everyone who has been a part of this and who has helped make this dream come true. Especially my fans. The Goodwill and positivity has been incredible. I'm still pinching myself. I can't believe it's # 1 all around the world".

She further mentioned, "My dream was to make people dance this summer!! To bring people JOY! Dreams do come true. Thanks and love".

Earlier, the singer spoke about her creative process in recording her latest chartbuster, as she told Graham Norton, "It's kind of like I get possessed. The ideas come when I don't try too hard".

Prior to this, the singer-songwriter had shared her opinion on the duality of Instagram, as she called it mesmerising and soul-destroying.

The 67-year-old singer has a lot of discipline when it comes to social media because she spent so much of her life without it and admitted she gets "depressed" if she falls into a trap of just scrolling the photo-sharing app to aimlessly look at content.

Honestly, I never understood the hype around Madonna. Her music is okay, but calling her "Queen of Pop" feels like overkill. There are far better artists out there who deserve more recognition. Just my opinion.

As a 90s kid in Mumbai, I grew up listening to her hits like "Like a Virgin" and "Material Girl." Seeing her still breaking records at 67 is truly inspiring. She's proof that age is just a number if you're passionate about your craft. 💃✨

Her comment about Instagram being "mesmerising and soul-destroying" really hit home. In today's world, we're all guilty of getting lost in the scroll. Respect to her for maintaining discipline despite being a global icon.

I love how she wants to bring JOY through her music – that's something we all need more of, especially in these times. Confessions on a Dance Floor is a masterpiece! Chennai students, let's have a Madonna dance party this weekend? 🎉🕺

Incredible resilience! From the 80s to now, she's remained relevant across generations. But I hope she doesn't overexpose herself on social media – that can sometimes cheapen an artist's legacy. Still, congratulations to her! 👏🎉
