Maddona’s New Album ‘MDNA’ Tops Billboard Charts Despite Critics’ Lukewarm Reviews
Madonna’s 12th studio album, dedicated to club-friendly dance tracks, sold 359,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, despite lukewarm reviews from critics and minimal promotional appearances by the singer.
This is the fifth time in the 53-year-old singer’s career that her album has debuted at No. 1, following her 2008 CD “Hard Candy,” and she is the second woman to top the chart eight times behind Barbra Streisand, who holds the title with nine chart-topping albums.
Albums Released the Week of February 22, 2010
A couple of albums will be released this week that look to be very rewarding. Of course there are more than these two being released but these are the ones I am looking forward to and will be reviewing.
Alkaline Trio- “This Addiction”
and
Paolo Nutini- “Live From New Orleans”
I absolutely LOVE Paolo Nutini and have a feeling his live album will be just as great as his previous two “These Streets” and “Sunny Side Up”. He just has a magnificent voice and style about him, so hopefully it won’t disappoint!
