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) https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/madonna-confession-ii-number-1-album-sienna-spiro-biggest-british-debut-of-the-year/

Imagine going from being a PM to being a background dancer to your pop girlfriend

I'm sueing for my hip replacement.

https://x.com/PopBase/status/2075460352146333847?s=20 mods, make it embed please the hag of the UK is finally croaked! she will be disdainfully remembered as an avid hater of gays and same sex marriage, defending racial slurs, wanting women in labour to be handcuffed to beds and dying as a Reformer i've hated this witch for years

Stupid Smash of course

13 years ago, Gaga had a dinner with her label and then broke the (then) worst hiatus drought we had by announcing ARTPOP officially on her website.

Another day. Another thread to pass the time of a Gaga Daily hiatus.

Nothing else rhymed with "I don't wanna be French".

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

Absolute legend. Her work with Jim Steinman is some of the best **** in pop history tbh

I'm not voting. Confessions 2 is a better "album", i have more desire to listen to it as a complete piece. Its cohesive and flows sonically and thematically from start to finish. Mayhem has better songs. Its highs beat all the Confessions tracks for me. But I don't like to listen to it as an album from start to finish, it doesn't flow well and lacks the cohesion I enjoy in an album experience.

Let's do poppers for Ann Widdy xx

To your point, I feel like CONFESSIONS II manages to maintain a cohesive aesthetic and solid pacing while still maintaining a really refreshing amount of sonic variety. Such a fckn good album.

Mayhem and it's not close.

And why is it a *bad* romance? Shouldn’t it be a *good* romance? Why is she promoting toxicity?

She was probably at a chem sex party omg

the concept of opposing assisted dying and then getting murdered

According to Dead by Daylight’s newest Licensed survery, Lady Gaga is among the several celebrities in consideration for a Dead by Daylight collaboration! These are only included if both parties are interested. Over the years, she’s been one of the most requested musical artists to be added to the game. With her dark themes and leans into horror, it’d be a natural fit. https://x.com/dvveet/status/2075277638801695228?s=46

Your honor, the evidence begs to differ!

parody accounts have started posting ridiculous tweets, and her fans are worried that people will think it's true

Right there. That's what people can dislike.

Yeah, I feel like the lyricism on Chromatica gets a lot of unnecessary heat. For an artist who usually layers emotions in a couple levels of metaphor, it was refreshing to hear straightforward, simple lyrics tbh. I think laying it bare/unvarnished and letting it be imperfect was a valuable exercise for her

https://music.apple.com/us/album/adam/1893149385 IT'S SO GOOD

Britney, I know u were kept in a cage and now (rightfully) wanna live your life to the fullest now that u finally have freedom but relax... ur past will only excuse so much especially with the law that literally doesnt care what one goes thru

Phantom of the Dance Floor

Watch It Burn

For all we know you are sub

I think a more fair comparison would be confessions vs chromatica you really can’t compare mayhem to anything because it’s so quintessentially Gaga

pretentious concept and awful execution

Also, this shouldve been the album cover idc.

just another negative toxic quality she's adding to the huge list of negative toxic qualities she lists in the song lol

I'm scared of being in love cuz imagine agreeing to do this

Just announced - the police have opened an investigation into her death 👀

Bad Romance is the best pop song ever created

What's your favorite song she performed? setlist: 1. somene to watch over me + bad romance 2. yoü and I 3. alejandro 4. teeth (in the rain. shoul've performed rain on me) Full HD Show to remember: https://youtu.be/BcLjVIQIkC8 looks

Existing mixes. It’s a push to go #1 which in Madonna’s case I get it. Hope she does get it

I refuse.

We would learn nothing new from that book as true stans. But I would give it a read!

Disease is the lead. But Abracadabra not being on that list feels wrong to me lol

I’ve overheard your theory, “nostalgia’s for geeks!” I guess, sir, if you say so, some of us just like to read.

They buy her garbage all the time. How is this any different?

Tension was padam padam and there is ended, the snippets of Tension were more exciting than the final songs for me. Confesiones dos takes the win

MAYHEM Confessions 2 is good, I'm enjoying, but I'm already skipping a few parts and I crave for Gaga's voice and the way she utilize different vocal techniques for variation But they're really different albums so it's hard to compare. MAYHEM is full of life and variety to me where confessions 2 is more a chill background dance/club music Also I can get bored with cohesive albums so I think confessions will not stay fresh for me like MAYHEM

Not the AI art cover

I stayed home from school for that performance! My favorite part was STWOM and Teeth! You definitely had to be there

For reference, it took Chromatica nearly 6 years for a non single (excluding 911, which had a live performance and MV) to reach 100M streams. This is mayhems 4th non single to reach 100M and it’s only been 16 months since release. Zombieboy is next, and should hit 100M by the end of the year, depending on how stable the streams are Edit: Zombieboy needs an average of 57,000 daily streams to reach 100M, which it most certainly will, pulling 116,000 in its most recent update
