Despite the pair's apparent compatibility, Madonna and Guy Ritchie ended their relationship in 2008. Even though their divorce was unexpected, the terms of the settlement came as a bigger surprise. Given the singer's $850 million net worth, you can see how much Ritchie was owed. Additionally, it was one of the world's most expensive divorces.

 

(01) Since "Like a Prayer" was so divisive

10 things you might not know about Madonna, the "Queen Of Pop"

There is a single song that is pure Madonna. It's a song that best exemplifies the Queen in terms of melody, lyrics, and visual appeal. It's a song that made waves upon its initial release and has continued to get people moving ever since. The song incorporates the best elements of that late-'80s sound while also sounding current. And the name of that song is "Like A Prayer."

As the album's lead single, "Like A Prayer" quickly established itself as one of her most recognizable compositions. She collaborated with producers Stephen Bray and Patrick Leonard to develop a song that represented her conflicted views toward God, drawing on her experiences as a Catholic growing up. She claimed that the song's central theme was a girl who was "so in love with God that it seems like He is the sole male figure in her life." It is sufficient to say that Christian conservatives strongly objected to the use of religious imagery to address issues of racism and sexuality. The Catholic Church successfully incited demonstrations by urging people to avoid the music. Even if it meant letting Madonna keep the $5 million advance, Pepsi dropped an advertisement including "Like A Prayer" in an effort to avoid negative news. Except for MTV, which routinely aired the music video, almost every TV station refused to broadcast it.

However, Madonna handled all of this criticism with grace, saying that "art should be controversial; that's all there is to it."
