[TaylorSwift 162,471]

Madonna becomes the first US female artist to earn Number 1 albums across five decades, as CONFESSIONS II earns her a 13th UK chart-topping record with 48,502 units, including 35,445 physical copies, 6,577 downloads and 6,480 sales-equivalent streams. 

Achieved by only a handful of artists, it's another feather in the cap of an illustrious career for Madge. 

It is also Madonna’s first Number 1 record since 2012’s MDNA, with the superstar now equalling Elvis Presley in fifth place in the overall standings of artists with the most Official Number 1 albums ever. 

Previously, Madonna’s topped the Official Albums Chart with: 
Like a Virgin (1984)    
True Blue (1986)   
Like a Prayer (1989)   
The Immaculate Collection (1990)   
Evita: The Complete Motion Picture Soundtrack (1996)   
Ray of Light (1998)   
Music (2000)   
American Life (2003)   
Confessions on a Dancefloor (2005)   
Hard Candy (2008)   
Celebration (2009)   
MDNA (2012) 
CONFESSIONS II (2026)

Truly, a queen. She'll get the #1 in the US as well. And with one of her bests albums ever, 44 years in 

[Shadownight 554]

Absolutely deserved. What a brilliant album start to finish. 

[Rahrahbitchson 23,260]

Congrats, she is on her way to having more achievements than Jesus himself

[Anderson123 42,695]

Congrats to a legend. Also interesting that she doesn't have a #1 album in the 90s in the USA. Erotica peaked at #2, Bedtime Stories at #3 and Ray of Light peaked at #2.

Her 8 years of  english accent era was justified, I fear

Since the 90s she's really underperformed her first peak in the US vs the UK.  
11 vs 8 #1s in US/UK before 2000
2 vs 5 #1s in the US/UK after 2000

The Fame/Monster vibes. 

It’s crazy to think Gaga hasn’t scored a #1 album in the 2000s.

OT: CONGRATS MADONNA! The OG mother (Grindr voice)
