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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

It's her 13th UK number 1 Album, not 12th. Evita was #1 too!.

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!

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!
