Up 95-87 on the UK album chart and 97-85 on the streaming chart.

#61 on the midweek chart update, thanks to the tour effect!

Wonder if Celebration might show up too though I guess FEL is being awarded all the streaming points?

All streaming consumption goes towards FEL, which is bizarre as it's a remix album and thus not even remotely as popular as proper GHs - in her case TIC or Celebration (and them charting is sometimes shady itself)

#69 officially last week - passed 50k chart sales too. #71 on the Monday update.

Certified Silver in the UK! :cheer:

Amazing! I remember waiting years on Madame X crawling there, this has gone Silver with relative ease

This should easily go gold by year end or maybe even sooner? I think when the Celebration tour is in the UK this album could perhaps return to the top 40 again? But it’s definitely done rather well so far.

 

I guess this will be her streaming album now unless the label opt to change it for the charts.

Looks like she beat both Steps and Aitch to a certification. Who’d have thought that when they kept her at #3?

Definitely will achieve before year end; would only need to achieve just under 1k a week to make it by the last chart of the year and it's already managing 1.5k+.

It's her best chart run for a good while.

That's amazing wow.

This "achievement" has nothing to do with the album itself. It's just catalogue streams that count towards it in expense of The Immaculate Collection. :coffee:

Yes, yes... we know.

Just like every other Hits Collection in the charts.

 

But it's the way the album charts work now, so we're just fans celebrating an official achievenent, whatever way it has been gained :D

Ya its no different so many other albums on the chart as its just the way the album chart works now,

Only because all The Immaculate Collection streams are being allocated to this though. It's another way streaming is abused to inflate sales. Steps have attempted it too with The Platinum Collection but of course TIC has all those huge hits.

 

I am glad for Madonna of course, she deserves another certified album but claiming she beat her competitors is a bit silly really if it were real sales she would likely still be below both.

If The Weeknd can do it I don’t see why Madonna can’t. The pure sales were still much better than anybody expected which is a win. We all know where the “sales” are really coming from, it’s certainly not as egregious as what Mabel and Dua Lipa have done, tacking random features onto their albums

I'm not saying she can't do it, I'm saying it's cheating when you allocate sales from one album to another. Of course others do it too but statements saying "she beat Aitch" who has no other album to transfer those sales from is a bit ridiculous really. :blink:

Understandable but if those streams had helped her get the #1 ahead of Aitch and Steps (I wish) would you still believe it wouldn’t have really “beaten” them?
