Billboard & Other Weekly Album Charts 2015

[Music Head]

looking for Madonna to come in the highest this week
but watch out for Luke Bryan

[CRAZY-HORSE]

yeh...
#1 on debut here last week,
#2 on debut in the UK also...
so its a pretty good chance she'll go either 1 or 2 in the US this week

[CRAZY-HORSE]

Back to the new Madonna album....
By getting to #1 out here she has now hit the top spot on the Aussie album charts with eleven albums in her career...
She is equal top on the all-time list of #1 albums with U2 here.
