Madonna’s Confessions II On Track To Reach Number One In UK Albums Chart
Madonna’s latest release looks poised to land the Queen of Pop her first UK number one album in more than a decade.
On Monday evening, the Official Charts Company revealed that the Grammy winner was on her way to top the UK albums chart for the first time since 2012’s MDNA (subsequent studio albums, 2015’s Rebel Heart and 2019’s Madame X were kept off the top spot by her future collaborator Sam Smith and Bruce Springsteen, respectively).
Her closest competition is newcomer Sienna Spiro, whose debut album was also released on Friday, and is currently on track to reach number two.
But a number one album isn’t Madonna’s only cause for “celebration” now Confessions II is out in the world.
Danceteria is said to be on track to peak at 20, which would mark her first solo song in the UK top 20 since Celebration back in 2009 (a collaboration with The Weeknd, Popular, did go top 10 back in 2023, though).
The new song is named after the former New York nightspot of the same name, and sees Madonna reflecting on her pre-fame days, name-checking many of the people she rubbed shoulders with in that era.
