What a surprise. Really, it was clear from the beginning. And since I know your excitement about her I won't criticise the album. But I still wonder whether it's deserved.

Well DUH! She's Madonna so of course it'll sell truckloads in it's first week. Doesn't make it good or bad, just makes her a popular artist... which we already know.

She's actually debuted at #1 in over 30 countries, which is a new record for a solo artist.

She could release a CD filled with animal noises, it would still get to number one if it has her name on it.

LMAO at all the haters in this thread.
You'd think after 26 years Madonna having haters would be a thing of the past. Oh well I guess, it does nothing but PROVE her impact, relevance, and success.

I'm not a hater, I love Madonna. But you can't deny that people will buy her albums just because of who she is. People expect quality from her, and the fact that she has been around for so long means she has picked up many fans along the way.

I'm not a hater. I'm certainly not stupid enough to deny her impact, relevance or success either! All I'm saying is that Madonna's one of the most successful female artists of all time so of course whatever she releases will be greeted with big sales. All I'm saying is getting to #1 in a load of different countries doesn't denote a quality album, just a successful one. |

'Hater' is the most redundant word in the world.

Talk about plummeting all over the world, just look at Mariah's album. |

The Madonna vs. Mariah thing is SO OLD now... To be honest, they are nothing alike so it's hard to compare them. Other than being successful females, I'm not sure what they've got in common? They look different, have completely different singing styles and even their music sounds nothing a like. |
