Madonna Knocks Mariah Out
Thursday, May 8th, 2008This is Madonna’s seventh #1 Debut on the Billboard Charts, with her new album “Hard Candy” which sold close to 280,000. Not a huge debut, but big for today’s music industry decline.
Last week Madonna did a small promotional show in New York’s Roseland Ballroom which I got to attend, an amazing show I must say. No one will argue that she has the best fans in the world, people lined up for that show three days ahead and many traveled from all over the world. True fans like that made her #1 on the charts today.
Hard Candy, which will also become the singer’s fourth-consecutive LP to open on top, following the successes of 2000’s Music (which generated week-one sales of 419,600), 2003’s American Life (241,000) and 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor (350,000). (source vh1.com)
