I have these, although I wish I didn't buy Hot Fuss.

Does anyone know the stats for Confessions? Did it really go number one? And is it still? How does it rank so far with her previous efforts?

superspaceboy said:

COADF debuted at #1 last week with 350,000+ copies sold. This week its #4 with an addtional 210,000 copies sold , putting her 2 week total at 560,000.

as far as how that compares to her other releases , Ill have to leave that to someone else

Here are all Madonna's opening numbers from Erotica upwards.. Of course some are rounded off..


"Confessions on a Dance Floor" Madonna 349,556 #1 12/06/05
"American Life" Madonna 240,821 #1 05/10/03
"GHV2" Madonna 150,300 #7 1 2/01/01
"Music" Madonna 419,601 #1 10/07/00
"Ray of Light" Madonna 370,683 #2 03/21/98
"Evita" (2-CD) Madonna 92,300 #6 11/30/96
"Something to Remember" Madonna 112,000 #6 11/25/95
"Bedtime Stories" Madonna 145,000 #3 11/12/94
"Erotica" Madonna 167,000 #2 11/07/92

Well, within 2 weeks, COADF sold almost as much as American Life did in its entire chart run (680,000 some copies)

why did her 90s albums open so low

its yet to be seen if confession has legs
the marketing on this album was huge 20mil
plus cost of making it must be 10mil
total 30million means just to break even needs to sell 5million world wide

asg said:

How can the cost of making it cost 10 mil? It's pretty bare bones and not a lot of studio wizardry went into making this. It was made out of Stu's home.

asg said:

She's already well over half-way to 5 million worldwide sales.

newpower99 said:

For real, her label must be desperate for money if they let this out without Brit doing any promo.
It was such a waste of a decent idea...

Asg is the type of person who believes every rumor he/she hears...lol...there is no way that COAD cost $10 million to make.As you pointed out,most of it was recorded in Stuart Price's home,and there weren't alot of additional musicians involved.And I seriously doubt that the marketing budget is really $20 million.But,in any case,the album will easily sell over 5 million copies worldwide.It's already more than halfway there.
