Midweek Charts: Madonna set to surpass Elvis on all-time list
Madonna is on course to overtake Elvis Presley with the most UK number one albums by a solo act of all time as her newly-issued MDNA heads to the top this weekend.
The album, her first released through Interscope/Polydor since her departure from long-time home Warner, had sold around 39,000 copies up to the end of business on Tuesday, according to the Official Charts Company. That is more than the next five albums combined.
If, as expected, MDNA does reach number one this Sunday it would be Madonna’s 12th chart-topper, one more than Elvis Presley has managed. Only The Beatles with 15 number ones have topped the chart more times.
A long distance behind Madonna in second place in the week so far is David Guetta with his Postiva/Virgin-issued Nothing But The Beat, while XL’s Adele album 21 progresses 5-3, despite weekly sales dropping 29%, and Emeli Sande’s Virgin debut Our Version Of Events holds at four.

New MDNA Album Debuts on Top, Richie, Shinedown Debut
March 28, 2012
She’s no longer “Like a Virgin,” or even the Material Girl, for that matter, but Madonna is still a pop diva superstar.
Madge’s Interscope debut, MDNA, her 12th studio album and first under a recently inked deal with Live Nation, is her first new collection in four years, since 2008’s Hard Candy. It’s a lock for #1 on next week’s HITS Album sales chart, with between 325-350k, beating that album’s 280k opening.
Those figures are based on one-day sales figures which our crack retail staff arrived at by throwing darts at a board. Take that, Soundscan!
