Madonna is being honoured by Billboard magazine – who’ve named her woman of the year for 2016.
The magazine has written a long list of reasons why they chose her and said it came following a year where she extended her record as the highest-grossing female touring artist of all time,
Janice Min president and chief creative officer for Billboard had this to say..
” Madonna is one of a miniscule number of super-artists whose influence and career transcend music. With her creative vision, relentless innovation, and dedication to philanthropic causes, she is an inspiration to hundreds of millions of people around the world, all while shattering every career record out there. She is an important feminist on top of that, a one-of-a-kind artist who’s used her influence to change the conversation around women, sexuality and equal rights.”
The seven-time Grammy winner will receive the honour at the 11th annual Women in Music event, held on 9 December in New York.
