With over 300 million records sold worldwide, Madonna is recognized as the best-selling female recording artist of the 20th century. Since her debut as a solo artist in 1982, she has pushed boundaries and reinvented her music and stage persona multiple times, crossing over from the world of dance into music, fashion, film, and print. She was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.
 
Madonna was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone on September 21, 1989, photographed by Herb Ritts. This collection features the photo used for that cover, hand-signed by Madonna.
