Madonna Louise Ciccone, professionally known as Madonna, is an American singer, entertainer, songwriter, actress, producer, director and businesswoman. Born on August 16, 1958 in Bay City, Michigan. She signed with a record label in 1982 and released her debut album the following year. Madonna has since become one of the most successful recording artists of all time. With over 300 million records sold worldwide, she holds the title for best-selling female artist according to Guinness World Records.

Madonna's talent and influence have earned her numerous accolades throughout her career. In her first year of eligibility, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. VH1 ranked her at number one on their list of 100 Greatest Women in Music. Additionally, Billboard named her the second greatest Hot 100 artist of all time (behind only The Beatles), solidifying her status as the most successful solo artist in American singles chart history.

With a diverse range of talents and achievements spanning music, film production and entrepreneurship, Madonna continues to be a trailblazer in the entertainment industry. Her impact on popular culture is undeniable and she remains an iconic figure for generations to come.

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner
