The Billboard Box Score earnings have just been posted and it shows what we have all come to expect: Madonna is still the Queen of Pop.
Lady Gaga has the top concert gross of the week with her four shows in Australia. However, Madonna dominates most of the other positions in the top 10 and she obtained those positions with one or two shows. Lady Gaga is still mostly an arena artist where Madonna is a veteran artist who plays big stadiums. Still, both artists show that the touring business is still going strong and that their fans will pay a lot of money for tickets.
In other Madonna news, her top ten single "Give Me All Your Lovin'" has been certified Gold by the RIAA in the US for selling more than 500,000 copies. The album MDNA, which her detractors call a "flop," is currently the fifth biggest selling album of the year in terms of international sales. Looks like 2012 will be a very profitable year for the Queen of Pop!
