In a multi-decades long period, many individuals, mostly [[Women in music|female singers]] received a [[nickname]] associated with the name of the American singer-songwriter '''[[Madonna]]''' (born 1958). Simultaneously, several artists have been identified with the same nickname, and many others have received more than one. 

Moniker's visibility is found in devoted articles from publications like ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' discussing what it means to be ''a Madonna'' while others discussed why there exists many artists with the label. Music critic [[Steven Hyden]] explains she was often regarded as an [[archetype]] in female popular music. Reviewers often addressed [[comparison]]s from different measurements and generally all sorts of positive things attributed to the original Madonna.

The label became visible in the profile of various performers, to which some of them have responded with mixed comments towards the moniker and comparisons with Madonna. Others declared themselves as such or wanted to be ''a Madonna'' and media followed suit. More than one performer in the late 20th century, were planned or slightly promoted as ''a Madonna'' in their debut by their [[record label]]s, according to some of them or media outlets. In the early 21st century, [[music journalism]] and authors set a race to find "Madonna's successor", calling in the journey to various as the "next" or "new Madonna". Madonna herself labeled [[Kanye West]] either as the "new" or "Black Madonna". References of the label are found in some musical pieces, including songs' titles, or a [[Name-dropping|mention]] in [[Eminem]]'s "Fubba U cubba cubba".

The nicknames appeared as soon Madonna gained international recognition, commonly dated in 1985. Perhaps one of the first artists who received a Madonna-related moniker was [[Marie Osmond]] whom ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' named her the "[[Mormon]] Madonna" in 1985.<ref name="Osmond"/> Many of the Madonna-associated nicknames in the career of several individuals derived from [[comparison]].

Beyond comparisons, some media outlets described the reason of calling a performer ''a Madonna''. In 2017, while reviewing Rihanna as the "Black Madonna", ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' devoted its article explaining what it means ''be a Madonna''. They explained ''a Madonna'' has "to assume the role of a commander standing at the frontlines for womanhood", as well "the controversial complexities of human sexuality, despite the inevitable backlash to ensue" to further add ''a Madonna'' has "to be a trend-setter" and a [[muse]] for producers, songwriters, fashion designers or directors alike and match both her [[record sales]] or [[Records and achievements of Madonna|achievements]].<ref name="RihannaBB">((cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/lifestyle/7809391/rihanna-good-girl-gone-bad-anniversary-black-madonna/|title=10 Years After 'Good Girl Gone Bad,' Rihanna Has Surpassed Her Goal of Becoming the 'Black Madonna'|access-date=May 22, 2022|date=January 6, 2017|first=Da'Shan|last=Smith|archive-date=February 13, 2021|archive-url=https://archive.today/20210213085333/https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/lifestyle/7809391/rihanna-good-girl-gone-bad-anniversary-black-madonna/|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|url-access=subscription))</ref> Sams, while compared also Rihanna's multi-metric achievements with that of Madonna in her article "Rihanna the new Madonna? In her own way" for ''[[The Sydney Morning Herald]]'' in 2013, referred, "encompass the scope and success, and global fame of Madonna? That's another league entirely".<ref name="SMH"/>  

In his explanation while mentioned Gaga, Reyhan Harmanci from ''San Francisco Chronicle'' saw her as the closer example "than any past [[Madonna wannabe|wannabes]], to further adds aspects such as "iconic style" and "staying power".<ref name="Gaga"/> About her, according to author Tim Delaney (2015), "most popular culture analysts view Lady Gaga as the new Madonna"<ref name="Gaga"/> Others similar claims included "popularity". Is the case of Aidin Vaziri of the same publication regarding the Iranian singer [[Googoosh]],<ref name="Googoosh"/> or authors of ''Encyclopedia of African Peoples'' and ''Billboard'' with [[Oumou Sangaré]] ("Madonna of Mali").<ref name="Sangaré"/> Madonna-like impact was also a source for other outlets to call ''a Madonna'' other non-pop musicians. This was the case of [[Cecilia Bartoli]] and her impact in the classical music stage.<ref name="Bartoli"/> Bartoli herself, called [[Malibran]] as the "Madonna of her age".<ref name="Bartoli"/> While there exists many other reasons, other group called ''Madonna'' to artists like [[Anita Mui]] with descriptions such as reinvention of image, behavior and boldness. Thus [[Richard Corliss]] from ''Time'' attributed to Mui, the nickname because "her boldness was not just a sensation but an affront" in the world of Hong Kong popular music.<ref name="Mui"/>

===Sourcing and scope===
[[File:Seal of the United States Government Printing Office.svg|upright|thumb|Nicknames related to Madonna have been found in publications outside music world. An example is US-[[government agency]] [[United States Government Publishing Office|USGPO]] referring to [[Nune Yesayan]] as the "Armenian Madonna" in 1999.<ref name="Yesayan"/>]]

The label was used by mass media, outside of music-related publications. A performer like [[Mylène Farmer]] have even their Madonna-associated nickname in their biography profile by their [[record label]] (Universal Music France).<ref name="Farmer"/> Media often described it as a "nickname", "moniker" or "title" using descriptions such as "dubbed", "named", "widely", "sometimes", "frequently", "known", "hailed" or "branded" by "many" or "by some". Such illustrative examples of previous claims include film director [[Deeyah Khan]] to singers [[Anitta (singer)|Anitta]], [[Brenda Fassie]], Mylène Farmer, [[Pandora (singer)|Pandora]] and Anita Mui from an array sources such as ''[[The Independent]]'', ''[[The Guardian]]'', [[BBC News]], ''[[News24 (website)|News24]]'', ''Billboard'' and ''[[O Globo]]'' among many others.<ref name="Khan"/><ref name="Anitta"/><ref name="Fassie"/><ref name="Haza"/><ref name="Farmer"/><ref name="Kleinstein"/><ref name="Trevi"/><ref name="Pandora"/> [[Korean Broadcasting System]] commented with [[Uhm Jung-hwa]], that she is "often praised" as "the Korean Madonna".<ref name="JunH"/>

Some nicknames, however, were applied in a determined region, or from an international perspective instead of their own country or vice versa. In ''[[Russia Beyond]]'', [[Vasily Shumov]] wrote the examples of Russian female pop singers, explaining they don't have an "equivalent" Russian female musician with famous West music figures such as Madonna.<ref name="Shumov">((cite web|url=https://www.rbth.com/arts/2013/10/01/the_evolution_of_russian_female_pop_singers_29805|title=The evolution of Russian female pop singers|access-date=June 4, 2022|date=October 1, 2013|first=Vasily|last=Shumov|archive-date=February 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210228211845/https://www.rbth.com/arts/2013/10/01/the_evolution_of_russian_female_pop_singers_29805|work=[[Russia Beyond]]|author-link=Vasily Shumov))</ref> Conversely, many Russian female singers were called ''a Madonna'' by overseas press, from [[Alla Pugacheva]] to [[Anna Netrebko]] and [[Irene Nelson]] among many others.<ref name="Pugacheva"/><ref name="Netrebko"/><ref name="Nelso"/> In 2004, two articles from Czech newspaper ''[[Mladá fronta DNES]]'' similarly discussed they still missing to have a national-equivalent Madonna (''Česká Madonna'').

===Criticisms===
Sergio del Amo, editor of ''[[El País]]'', observed the year [[2017 in music|2017]] as the [[political correctness]] era in the pop stardom, with several female singers releasing records and presenting a softer image such as Miley Cyrus (''[[Younger Now]]''), Lady Gaga (''[[Joanne (album)|Joanne]]'') and Kesha (''[[Rainbow (Kesha album)|Rainbow]]'')—as Madonna did with ''[[Something to Remember]]'' and ''[[Bedtime Stories (Madonna album)|Bedtime Stories]]''.
