Edit: I say this because I think a lot of people who pre-ordered the album wouldn't have bought it this week...based on how the singles performed.

 Billboard reported that 
MDNA sold 50,000 in pre-orders following the Super Bowl weekend. And based on the pre-order performance afterwards, it didn't sell too much more. 50k off an expected 300-350k would've still placed her at No. 1.
