Pull through, Madge!

[Bimbo]

Damn lmao

[Cheetos]

Lighting my Alejandro candles for the good sis to pull through and snatch that #1

[Lein]

Hits searching clicks

[Optimus]

Cmon Empire! Snatch the #1

[ArtForFreedom]

Thanks for the update.. glad its looking like she'll hit #1

[Sahn]

Monsters are so desperate trying to make this seem like it's a tragic flop. Basically everybody except for them is ok with the numbers considering this is her 13th album that leaked 3 months ago.

They're still so tortured and mortified after EVERYBODY laugh at them when the first ARTPOP numbers came out.

This makes no sense. And therefore I'm going to pay it.

Moving on, Empire deserves the #1. Incredible music.

Lets not get crazy. The music on Empire is the pits sans 3 songs.

[Flashing Lights]

I think she'll pull it off.

Next week

Wow! That HAS to be a mess up for the marketing team. Why would they want the sales from the Rebel Heart Tour ticket bundle WITH the album to be on week #2 INSTEAD of week #1?!?

That's DUMB!

[DouglasBooth]

omg @ the anger coming from Madonna fans..

It's clever actually, if those sales were included this week, the drop would've been humongous, this way her drop won't be as big.

[Maneater]

I thought she would open with around 200k tbh. I hope she gets the #1 though.

I believe it is to make sure a drop like MDNA doesn't happen.

same thing happened with MJ

Lbr, Michael's draggings were worldwide throughout the media and never to do with his commercial power. He never underperformed realistically in album sales, he dropped his last studio record in 2001 and it opened to 363K and sold 10M copies in two years (one single with one TV special the day before 9/11 and no tour or other promo, coupled with Sony actively working against it), 14M by 2013 including posthumous sales. Number Ones and Essential Michael Jackson were his two major compilation releases of the 2000s and they were great sellers too, particularly Number Ones which crossed 12M WW before his death.
