Cheers for that! I presume Like a Prayer is one of if not the best catalogue download for Madonna?

Yeah, 4 Minutes is her best in the US with 3 million plus, Hung Up second and Like A Prayer and Vogue third and fourth in the US.

 

Like A Prayer should be around her 4th best selling download in the UK.

Yep, you're about right - it's listed as her 5th best selling download by the OCC: http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/m...-revealed-1309/

 

01. 4 MINUTES FT JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

02. HUNG UP

03. GIVE IT 2 ME

04. SORRY

05. LIKE A PRAYER

06. CELEBRATION

07. VOGUE

08. HOLIDAY

09. FROZEN

10. JUMP

 

So Like a Prayer is her most downloaded track which was released before the digital era. I'd say Hung Up would be second if you took away it's downloads from it's initial chart run.

Yeah, iTunes have helped there sales. I would think Like A Prayer has overtaken Sorry by now or very close too.

Like a Prayer's download sales must be well past 100k by now and Sorry is on 200k total sales (perhaps 50k physicals?), so it wouldn't surprise me if it has overtaken.

The OCC bug me when they do all these lists but never give the sales for them .

Since iTunes haven't been promoting Hung Up as a 59p single, Like A Prayer has easily been out selling it everyday. In time LAP could over take Hung Up's all time sales.

It will be interesting to see what back catalogue of songs get used on the cd and digital version of the MDNA tour release.

Charts in France have published Madonna's album sales figures since 1998 to co inside with Ray Of Light's 15th Anniversary

 

01. Ray of Light - 850,000

02. Confessions on a Dance Floor - 730,000

03. Music - 680,000

04. American Life - 500,000

05. Hard Candy - 240,000

06. MDNA - 85,000

Cheers, they seem to be quite good sales for a country outside of the four main music industries.

On a side note American Life sold the most copies in France than the anywhere else in the world.

A friend has acces to soundscan top 50 album sales weekly in America .

 

Since soundscan was introduced in late 1991 The Immaculate Collection has sold 5,853,766 copies. 893 last week, 10,017 this year!!

 

This is the only Madonna album in the chart.

Ooh thank you! Shame it ranges back just after the release of The Immaculate Collection but I can see that it sold about 3 million between late 1990 and late 1991, meaning it sold more copies after initial release rather than within initial release!
