Madonna will trump Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Michael Jackson this week, if her latest single lands in the U.s. top ten - the 37th time she has managed the feat.

Her collaboration with Justin Timberlake - 4 Minutes - is hotly tipped to reach the top ten, which will lift her above Elvis Presley, who made the top ten 36 times in his career.

The Beatles stand third in the all-time list, with 34, ahead of Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson on 28.

2008 has been an eventful year for the Material Girl. As well as a new album and rumours of a world tour to promote it, the 49-year-old was inducted into the Rock'n'Roll hall of fame earlier this month.
