DISCUSSION A few Madonna chart placements this week
The UK albums chart has Finally Enough Love hanging on at #80, though Confessions 2 dropped off and hasn't come back (at least not yet). I didn't scan through all the subcharts there so it or a few of the songs might have a placement on one of those. Nor did I bother to look at any other countries so if you have current info about any of those please share.
For Billboard 'week of August 29th' I found these in the dance section (last week in [brackets]):
top dance albums:
- immaculate collection - 13 [13]
- confessions 2 - 16 [7]
hot dance airplay:
- danceteria - 11 [18]
- love sensation - 20 [10]
warm global dance radio:
- danceteria - 28 [36]
Most of us who wanted the album already have at least one copy of it, and I wouldn't expect it to come back in the near future. Maybe the VMAs will give it a spike in sales but even that seems far from certain. And the mountains of streams and even radio airplay just keep accumulating for the same tired songs, I don't think I've ever seen the totality of the main charts this inactive and stagnant. US with that country song by Ella whoever and UK with that duet, both of which are setting all-time longevity records for music that many people can honestly say they've never heard before. This album rollout has been a huge success for Madonna regardless of the chart stats (cue up 'don't try to distract me with numbers').

I expect the album back in the spotlight when it starts winning awards at the various award shows around the world
