It’s another No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 title for the pop icon.
Billboard confirms that Madonna’s Madame X has landed the No. 1 spot on the all-encompassing tally opening with 95,000 equivalent album units earned in the US in the week ending June 20 with 90,000 of those in album sales.
This is the ninth time Madonna has landed the coveted spot at the top. The last time Madonna landed the No. 1 spot on the chart, which ranks the most popular albums of the week, was in 2012, with MDNA. Madonna’s other No. 1 albums include: Hard Candy (2008); Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005); American Life (2003); Music (2000); Like a Prayer (1989); True Blue (1986); and Like a Virgin (1985).
Madonna’s titles are only second to Barbara Streisand with 11 No. 1 albums. The Beatles lead the general pack with 19, followed by Jay-Z with 14, Streisand and Bruce Springsteen both with 11 and Elvis Presley with 10. Eminem, Garth Brooks, Madonna and The Rolling Stones all tie with nine.
