Madonna retained the title Queen of Pop by taking
the throne of the Billboard 200 album chart for the eighth time on Tuesday, as
her latest album "MDNA" beat Lionel Richie's country themed
"Tuskegee" to the top of the weekly sales list, reported Reuters.
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. For more on the story click here
