Madonna Lands Eighth #1 Album

Billboard reports:

Madonna’s “MDNA” and Lionel Richie’s “Tuskegee” bow at Nos. 1 and 2 this week on the Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 359,000 and 199,000 copies, respectively (according to Nielsen SoundScan). Madonna has now etched a total of eight No. 1 albums: three in the ’80s, four in the ’00s and now one in the ’10s. She missed scoring a No. 1 in the 1990s, remarkably, but she did claim five No. 2 albums in that decade with “I’m Breathless,” “The Immaculate Collection,” “Erotica,” the “Evita” soundtrack and “Ray of Light.”

One more and she ties Babs.
