Madonna notched another No. 1 album in Canada, but unlike her last effort, the sales figures were very impressive.
Her 14th disc “Confessions on a Dance Floor” debuted at the top of the charts on sales of 74,000, easily surpassing the numbers of 2003’s “American Life”, which sold 18,000 copies in its first week.
Madonna’s previous albums, 2000’s “Music” and 1998’s “Ray Of Light,” also debuted at the top of the charts with sales of 50,300 and 59,900 respectively.
“Confessions on a Dance Floor” surpassed Nickelback’s “All the Right Reasons” (60,000) as the second best debut this year. Coldplay’s “X&Y” continues to be the 2005 champion with first-week sales of 105,000.

For the sixth time in her career, Madonna finds herself with an album in the No. 1 position on The Billboard 200. Her latest, “Confessions on a Dance Floor” (Warner Bros.), sold nearly 350,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, to bow on top of the chart.
“Confessions” is Madonna’s third album in a row to top the chart, with “Music” and “American Life” preceding it. The new disc’s first single “Hung Up” works its way into the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.

It’s not all that surprising that Madonna’s Confessions on a Dance Floor ” the Material Mom’s first collection of fresh music in more than two years ” opens atop the next Billboard albums chart, but it is something of a symbolic conquest. A top player in the game for more than two decades, Madonna has secured a spot among the most resilient pop-culture icons. But icon or not, bubbly “American Idol” victor Carrie Underwood and sultry diva Mariah Carey weren’t about to just step aside and hand Madonna the Billboard championship belt. She was going to have to earn the win.

While Underwood came close, the latest “Idol” winner simply couldn’t take the heat as Madonna scores her third-straight #1 debut (2000’s Music took the top spot with close to 420,000 scans, while 2003’s American Life finished at #1 with 240,000 plus). According to the latest SoundScan figures, Confessions sold close to 350,000 copies during its first week on record-store shelves, besting Underwood’s debut, Some Hearts, by about 35,000 albums. Carey’s The Emancipation of Mimi – Ultra Platinum Edition boosted the disc to #4 with 185,000 copies sold, right behind last week’s #1, Kenny Chesney’s The Road and the Radio, which slips to third with 191,000 plus scans.
