14k is more than I expected! Go M!

That's just fantastic wow.

It is a fantastic result.

Madonna nostalgia is always going to be more popular than new material.

#3 and 14k sales is so much better than I expected, in fact double the sales I thought it would achieve! Very happy with its progress around the world too.

 

The album was #2 on sales and downloads in the UK and #48 on streams. It's definitely taken away streams from 'The Immaculate Collection' which was #70 last week and disappears this week. For comparison, 'Madame X' was #33 on streams upon debut.

 

Sales paragraph from Music Week:

 

The first and only act to register 50 No.1 hits on America’s Dance Club Songs chart, as published in Billboard, Madonna achieved the feat in February 2020, when I Don’t Search I Find – from her Madame X album – reached the summit some 37 years after the double-header Holiday/Lucky Star started the ball rolling with a five-week residency atop the list. To celebrate the achievement, Madonna herself has curated the new compilation Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones, which includes some remixes and some original versions of the songs, all newly remastered. Debuting at No.3 (14,132 sales), it is her 28th Top 75 album and 23rd Top 10 entry. It is now a little more than a decade since she last reached No.1, doing so in April 2012 with MDNA.

How is it projected to do in the USA?

How is it projected to do in the USA?

Latest projection was for #8! However sales are really close so it could easily miss the Top 10.

#2 in Switzerland and #18 in Finland!

.@Madonna becomes the first female artist to earn new top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 in each of the last five decades (1980s, 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s).

 

Amazing! I can't see exactly where yet though unless I'm being blind?

From UKMIX:

I’m surprised MATM was the most streamed track on Day 1?

Yeah there’s been a bit of discussion about that. Apparently it’s on a playlist? It wasn’t one of the focus tracks for release radar on Spotify.

Billboard 200: #8(new) @Madonna, Finally Enough Love 30,000 [2 million on-demand streams | 28,000 pure sales].

 

:clap:

I read it is number 1 in Belgium

No mid-week information today due to Bank Holiday, but I am intrigued about its second week position (and slightly nervous for the drop - but it's to be expected).

Madonna Becomes First Woman to Earn Billboard 200 Top 10 Albums Each Decade Since the ‘80s

By Keith Caulfield | 08/29/2022

 

Her remix retrospective 'Finally Enough Love' starts at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and tops multiple other charts, including Top Album Sales & Vinyl Albums.

 

Madonna becomes the first woman with newly charting top 10 titles on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the 1980s, ‘90s, 2000s, ‘10s and now the ‘20s. The Queen of Pop’s new remix compilation, Finally Enough Love, debuts at No. 8 on the Sept. 3-dated chart. She’s just the 10th act to have achieved this distinction – and the other nine are all solo male artists or groups comprising men.

 

Madonna notched her first top 10 album on the Billboard 200 with her self-titled debut effort, which reached the top 10 dated Oct. 6, 1984 (rising 12-10), and peaked at No. 8 two weeks later (Oct. 20, 1984). She logged a total of five top 10s on the Billboard 200 in the 1980s (Madonna, Like a Virgin, True Blue, the Who’s That Girl soundtrack and Like a Prayer), seven in the ‘90s (I’m Breathless: Music From and Inspired by the Film Dick Tracy, The Immaculate Collection, Erotica, Bedtime Stories, Something to Remember, the Evita soundtrack and Ray of Light), six in the 2000s (Music, GHV2: Greatest Hits Volume 2, American Life, Confessions on a Dance Floor, Hard Candy and Celebration) and four in the ‘10s (Sticky & Sweet Tour, MDNA, Rebel Heart and Madame X).

 

Of those 23 top 10s, nine reached No. 1: Like a Virgin, True Blue, Like a Prayer, Music, American Life, Confessions on a Dance Floor, Hard Candy, MDNA and Madame X.

 

Acts With New Top 10 Albums on the Billboard 200 Chart in the 1980s, ‘90s, 2000s, ‘10s & ‘20s:

AC/DC

Def Leppard

Paul McCartney

Madonna

Metallica

Ozzy Osbourne

Robert Plant

Prince

Bruce Springsteen

James Taylor

 

Meanwhile, McCartney (including his work with Wings), Springsteen and Taylor’s streaks stretch back six decades to the ’70s, and that’s not counting the output of, and McCartney’s driving contributions to, The Beatles, who landed 17 top 10 sets on the Billboard 200 in the ’60s (and 15 more since).

 

Highest Charting Dance/Electronic Remix Album in More Than a Decade

Finally Enough Love largely consists of previously released dance remixes, as the set celebrates Madonna’s 50 No. 1s on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart. She remains the first and only act with at least 50 No. 1s on any single Billboard chart.

 

Finally Enough Love is the first remix album to reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200 since 2014, when Beyoncé’s six-track More Only EP debuted and peaked at No. 8 on the Dec. 13, 2014 chart. The last remix album to chart higher was Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never: The Remixes which debuted at No. 1 on the March 5, 2011-dated chart. And, Finally Enough Love is the highest-charting dance/electronic remix album in more than a decade, since Lady Gaga’s The Remix debuted and peaked at No. 6 on the Aug. 21, 2010, chart.

 

Top Selling Album of the Week

Finally Enough Love is also the top-selling album of the week in the U.S., as the set launches atop Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart with 28,000 copies sold. It also debuts at No. 1 on Top Current Album Sales.

 

It’s her eighth No. 1 on the 31-year-old Top Album Sales chart. (It launched on May 25, 1991.) Among women, only Taylor Swift has more No. 1s on this chart, with 10, while Beyoncé is in third, with seven.

 

The retrospective was available in either a 16-track standard album and an expanded 50-track deluxe set. Physical album sales comprise 23,000 (12,000 on vinyl and 11,000 on CD) and digital album sales comprise 5,000.

 

Finally also starts at No. 1 on Vinyl Albums with 12,000 sold – Madonna’s largest sales week for a vinyl album since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991. The 16-track standard album was available in multiple color variants exclusively sold through Target, Walmart and Amazon, in addition to its standard black LP. Its 50-track version was available in in a limited-edition box set with six LPs (6,000 manufactured globally).

 

Finally additionally launches at No. 1 on both Top Dance/Electronic Albums and Tastemaker Albums. The former ranks the most popular dance/electronic albums of the week, by equivalent album units. The latter tallies the top-selling albums at independent and small chain record stores.

 

Madonna Ties for Fourth-Most Top 10 Albums on Billboard 200 Among Soloists

As Finally Enough Love marks Madonna’s 23rd top 10, that ties her with Bob Dylan for the fourth-most top 10s among solo acts.

 

Here’s an updated look at the artists with at least 20 top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, from March 24, 1956, when the list began publishing on a regular, weekly basis, through Sept. 3, 2022.

 

Most Billboard 200 Top 10s:

37, The Rolling Stones

34, Barbra Streisand

27, Elvis Presley

23, Bob Dylan

(Notably, The Kidz Bop Kids music brand has collected 24 top 10s, in 2005-16, with its series of kid-friendly covers of hit singles. The franchise’s early albums were performed mostly by anonymous studio singers, although later releases focused on branding named talent.)

The Madonna Vinyls from her official store have finally been shipped !!

The Madonna Vinyls from her official store have finally been shipped !!

And #17 in the UK mids so these have definitely helped! I thought it would be straight out the Top 40!

^ yes this has helped second week early position

 

with no tracks on the popular playlist it was never going to hold up well (week 2)

 

will be interesting to see if the vinyls and cd collections decrease in price throughout the year!

I may get it if the vinyl does decrease but it would need to be about half price for me to be tempted

#1 in Portugal! Now #1 in 5 main charts, 2 more than 'Madame X' managed (Argentina, Portugal and US).
