Madonna's new single 'Popular' featuring The Weeknd and Playboi Carti helped Madonna achieve having a hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in five different decades. Madonna has now had hits from the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and now the 20s. The exclusive list of artists who've hit this milestone also includes artists like The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Feetwood Mac and Elton John. More impressively than that, is there are artists who've actually beat this record and have had hits in six or more decades.

Uniquely enough Madonna is only one of a few female artists to reach this achievement, the first being Brenda Lee having hits on the chart from the 50s, 60s, 70s, the 2010s and 2020s. Cher also is apart of this exclusive club having hits consecutively from the 60s through the 2000s. Currently Popular is charted at 43 on the Hot 100 from its early June release and number 6 on the Hot R&B Songs chart. In addition to Popular dropping on June 2nd, Madonna also had a new single released on June 9th with Sam Smith entitled Vulgar. Could the Queen of Pop be gearing up for a new album?
