She may have beaten Elvis to become the most successful solo act in British history but not everyone is convinced by Madonna's talents - her kids can't stand her music.
The Material Girl's 12th release MDNA has broken a record held only by The King after storming to the top of the charts, making her the artist with the most number one albums in the UK.
And whilst she can easily fill stadiums with adoring fans, Madonna's four children - Lourdes, Rocco, Mercy and David - are harder to please.
The singer told The Sun: "My kids are brutally honest when it comes to what they don't like. They have no tact whatsoever. They'll just say, 'Mum, get that song off' even when (it's) mine. It's hurtful but at least they're honest."
But her troubles don't end there - despite running round after her brood, Madonna is finding it increasingly difficult to get in shape for her upcoming tour.
On her gruelling fitness regime, she said: "I have to say that in more than 25 years of performing I have never worked so hard or been so scrupulous. Or freaked out more than I have at the minute.
"My whole life has been a combination of hard work and prayer. Preparation is essential but you need as many angels watching over you as possible as well. I'm getting ready for rehearsing my world tour so I have been in training.
"There's been lots of cardio and I'm doing a combination of Pilates and dance cardio. And there's been plenty of skipping rope work. The envelope I'm pushing for is as spectacular a show as I can. It should be a feast for the eyes and ears."
