"MDNA's" sales were aided by a successful album sales promotion involving Madonna's upcoming world tour. U.S. customers who bought a concert ticket had the option of also receiving the album as part of their purchase. The only sales that count towards Billboard's charts are those where the customer opted to receive "MDNA."

From Billboard.
The album was always an option, not a bundle from buying the tickets. Either way, MDNA still did badly but didn't it do OK WW?
Regardless, albums sales look horrible. At least PRISM is doing 40K.
