Madonna Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200
Wednesday, 04 April 2012
Madonna scores her eighth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with the debut of her 'MDNA,' while Lionel Richie's all-star country collaborations covers album 'Tuskegee' bows in the runner-up slot - his highest-charting album since 1986.
Madonna remains in second place among women with the most No. 1 albums. She now needs only one more No. 1 to tie Barbra Streisand, the leader among women with nine chart-toppers.
'MDNA' sold 359,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan, and is Madonna's fifth straight studio album to debut at No. 1. It follows 2008's 'Hard Candy,' which moved 280,000 in its first week. 'MDNA's' opener is her best sales week since 2000's 'Music' shifted 420,000 when it debuted at No. 1.
