Madonna’s Rebel Heart takes early lead in albums chart race
Madonna’s Rebel Heart has taken an early lead in the race for this week’s Number 1 album. The LP is outselling its nearest competitor - current Official Albums Chart Number 1 Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ Chasing Yesterday – by nearly 3:1 after just 24 hours on sale.
Other new entries set to score Top 10 placings this weekend include Rebecca Ferguson’s Lady Sings The Blues and Blue’s Colours. Click here to see all of this week’s new releases.
If its momentum continues, Rebel Heart will be Madonna’s 12 UK Number 1 album following Like A Virgin (1984), True Blue (1986), Like A Prayer (1989), The Immaculate Collection (1990), Ray Of Light (1998), Music (2000), American Life (2003), Confessions On A Dance Floor (2005), Hard Candy (2008), Celebration (2009) and MDNA (2012).

As I stated in another forum...This particular album is epic and wonderfully fantastic, not to mention, legendary in it's own right! What a musical experience to anyone lucky enough to purchase/own/listen to! Bravo Madonna... the world's Empress of Pop!
Marco Domizio
She is still in a good position..... let's see. Great madonna

Rebel Heart is #4 on the US iTunes chart and #1(Super Deluxe) and #4(Deluxe) on Amazon. EAT IT!

Couting Evita, as they should, it would be her 13th. Bringing her close to the top with The Beatles and their 15th

Usa music writers are so cruel saying if she Dosnt push max 350 thousands sales in 1st week she not that good anymore ? 1 week sales is just 1 week ? Don't understand the importance of just 1 week in general

Just got the album but I have been listening to the music that leaked and that which made the album. This album is in my top 3 overall album rankings, next to Like a Prayer and American Life.

Giacinto Colicci
that's a good news...I must say that Madonna is working hard on this new album....In Italy she sang live with a good performance at CHE TEMPO CHE FA.Even though I have been a big fan of hers for years it's the first time I really enjoy her vocal performances!!

The Deluxe is at 14. That mean, everyone is buying the Super Deluxe on there for right now, which surprises me because of the price. But people are spending their money and want all the tracks.

I'm not surprised! I wonder if the physical version of the super deluxe is already in stores.

In America, today it hits the stores.

25 tracks for super deluxe was $21 in Australia. It's a good price for 25 tracks. Cheaper to buy cd in Australia then actually itunes.

Lucky you. The Super Deluxe is $27.48 on Amazon in the U.S. Whereas, the deluxe version is $14.99 with 19 tracks. So I thought that would sell more because there were plenty of songs on the 19 track album to make many happy.
Clinton cross
I just bought super deluxe for beautiful scars. Love that song. I had to have it lol
Mave Ash
hey Clinton, where i can buy super deluxe in australia? im in brisbane, have asked sanity n jbhifi they dont have super deluxe, please reply asap..

Clinton cross
Wow HD. I had to send away for mine. Only deluxe available at Sanity
Mave Ash

I only have sanity in Bundaberg. It was stupid for them not selling super deluxe. But i think target has the " clean version " ??
Mave Ash
thanks, i have pre-order the super deluxe from jbhifi since 2 weeks ago thet said will be released on march 10, but they havent got it yet until today so dissapointed with jbhifi. and they dont know when they will have it, so im not sure should i cancel it and buy from wowhd.
Clinton cross
I say wait a bit. The orders are probably more they can handle when they should of just released super deluxe in Australia. So annoying
Matt Baker
Apparently none of the popular stores that sells electronics and music and movies didn't have the super deluxe version but sold the deluxe version, so I bought that version. Itunes doesn't even have the super deluxe version on there. So I can't even buy the few extra 6 songs off of there.
Matt Baker
Target ain't even selling the Super deluxe version. I went there today early in the morning in Hazel Dell, Vancouver Washington and they only had two versions, the 14 track version and the deluxe version which is 19 tracks and are all explicit! Target never sells the clean version. So I had to settle for the deluxe version and bought it cuz I wanted to buy the album on its release date. Couldn't wait can I!

Justice for evita

fkYEAH! :)
James J Fry
It's her 13th UK number 1 Album, not 12th. Evita was #1 too!.
Brian Nation
Evita is not a studio album release , so that's why they don't count it. It's a soundtrack album. Either way, long live the QUEEN!
ste green
They used too...All I'm saying

MichaelMDNAA
But to be fair, they announced MDNA as her 12th...
Mark A Rusin
Evita is technically a movie soundtrack, I believe.

confessions is way better. i only like four tracks on here, the rest sound like Lourdes wrote the lyrics. Yeezus loves my P_____Y best?? oh lord. this woman has lost it.
Peter PAN SYNDROME. NO WONDER WHEN ALL HER GAY FANS ARE THE SAME WAY!

Manel Gonzalez Romero
Yep, Devil Pray, Ghosttown, Joan of Arc, Iconic,Addicted,Wash all over me, Messiah; Rebel heart, Hearbreak city...If you think that Lourdes wrote the lyrics too..then you have a problems..haters gonna hate..Since day 1. I feel sorry for you wasting your life trolling in every single Madonna piece of news. If she's irrelevant for you, then go somewhere else , change your pic and put your fav one and enjoy....Life's too short to be bitter!
Mike
Please troll. Go away and get a life. You have nothing else to do but spread negativity on EVERY single post related to Madonna?? Sad human being you are.
Alan Lynch
Deluded and homophobic... Charming
Eric Treants
Yet you took the time to turn her rebel heart pic into something a child would do. Great job. Now sit down!
Clinton cross
A couple for the youth never stopped anybody. But i bought super deluxe. Yes i would of deleted 3 myself from the album but that's personal taste. Still amazing album.
MusicStan_1997
I bought the album yesterday and it's amazing, her best album since Confessions. Hope it manages to stay at number 1
