One more album #1 and she will be the female with more #1's albums on Billboard.

She'll have another for sure. I'm hoping it's in 2013, but I realize we may have to wait until 2014 despite her already working on a new album.

Madonna was #8, Erotica was #2, Bedtime Stories was #3, Ray of Light was #2. The rest were all #1.

Did the Titanic soundtrack block Ray of Light?

or was it Velvet Rope?

I hope we get an album in 2013 as well

PF:RR could have easily sold 3M+ WW if it was more organized, so many opportunities went to waste.

Maybe 2.7 and then adding Re-Up to make like 3.4 million. The album did have sooooo much potential, but the rushed releases and continual bad videos killed itself.

I can't stand the treatment they gave Va Va Voom, its my favourite off the album and I haven't watched more than a minute or so.

Titanic...

Enjoying her biggest sales week of the '90s, Madonna roars back up the charts with her new album, Ray of Light, selling 371,000 copies for the week ending March 8, according to SoundScan.

That nearly triples what her last album, the Evitasoundtrack, sold its first week in stores.

Unfortunately for the Material Girl, the critically acclaimedRay of Light was blocked from the No. 1 spot by the still-mighty Titanic soundtrack. That fits a frustrating pattern for Madonna, with all her '90s albums (Erotica,Bedtime Stories and Evita) coming thisclose to No. 1, but never landing the coveted spot. Perhaps Ray of Light will end the drought.

The other big top ten news came in the form of gangsta rapper Scarface, whose My Homies debuts at No. 4.

From the top, it was Titanic (selling 476,000 copies) followed by Ray of Light; Celine Dion'sLet's Talk About Love (224,000); My Homies;Savage Garden (107,000); Silkk the Shock's Charge It 2 Da Game (105,000); K-Ci & Jo Jo's Love Always (100,000); Backstreet Boys (98,000); the soundtrack to the Wedding Singer (93,000); and Usher's My Way (90,000).

The Velvet Rope debuted a few months earlier...

Quote:

It was very close--a difference of fewer than 2,000 copies--but Janet Jackson's "The Velvet Rope" held back the "Gang Related" soundtrack in a battle of new releases for the No. 1 spot on the album sales chart.

Jackson's sales of 202,000, according to SoundScan, is a big drop from the 350,000 debut week of her last album, 1993's "janet." But it kept "Gang Related" from being the fifth consecutive No. 1 debut for an album featuring rapper-actor Tupac Shakur, and the third since his death last year. If sales for the handfuls of copies that snuck into stores last week are figured in, though, "Gang Related" actually takes the sales lead by a tiny margin.
