I don't think that's exactly fair to say. Who's to say the number wouldn't be higher had she not sold the album via the concert presale?

Tuned In: Madonna's complicated DNA explored on 'MDNA'

• By CHUCK CAMPBELL / Scripps Howard News Service

"MDNA," Madonna (Boy Toy/Live Nation/Interscope)

For decades, Madonna outlasted her career life expectancy by reinventing herself with each new project.

Those days are over, and "MDNA" best exemplifies what Madonna has become: a giant, Thing-like artist who is a culmination of her past personas. She's got "True Blue" sweetness, "Frozen" drama, "Express Yourself" self-assuredness, "Who's That Girl?" goofiness, "Evita" sobriety and more.

Outsiders show up directly and indirectly on "MDNA." The singer's '80s rival Cyndi Lauper gets a nod with a "Girls just wanna have fun" line in the festive abandon of "Girl Gone Wild." And Madonna's ex, director Guy Ritchie, gets obvious ribbing in the recurring themes of anger and regret, as on the hypnotic, deep-grooving "Gang Bang" that is staged like a cheesy, violent Ritchie film, with Madonna herself pulling the trigger. "MDNA's" guests include omnipresent rapper Nicki Minaj, bratty electro icon M.I.A. and Madonna's daughter Lourdes, who sings backup on a sunny "Superstar" resplendent in "Ooh la la's."

Madonna re-enlists her "Ray of Light" producer, William Orbit, for a chunk of songs and parcels out more material to Italian house-music king Benny Benassi and French pop maestro Martin Solveig. The result is contemporary, if not groundbreaking, and dance-perfect apart from noteworthy ballads such as "Masterpiece" and "Falling Free."

Best of all is Madonna herself, channeling all of her multiple personalities to present a peerless, well-rounded pop star.

Rating (five possible): 4

the presales arent the problem the concert Free give aways r. The only comparison is prince his album had 2 million sales with the give aways included this will not even sell 1/3 of that

What a stinker of an album from the queen of desparation

MDNA - The Right Track
Madonna’s new album might not be her best, but it still manages to prove her abilty to shoot down critics in a world of increasing imitators.

On MDNA, Madonna’s 12th studio album, she seems to have entered the Wild West—she’s shooting people, telling people to fuck off, a sinning girl gone wild. And she is indeed traversing uncharted territory—a pop star attempting to stay relevant at 53, nearly two decades after she defended herself in the opening quote.

Critics have long gunned for Madonna. And throughout she has proven a champion, pioneering new paradigms for being a pop star—from her theatrical stage shows to her business model to her constant evolution of looks and sounds (now all prerequisites for pop divas). But along the way she has tackled issues much bigger than stardom or herself: from feminism (helping redefine the ’80s/early-’90s model), sexual orientation (co-opting and celebrating homosexuality in her work) and spirituality (rarely have pop songs shared such spiritual ecstasy as “Like a Prayer” and “Ray of Light”).

On MDNA she traverses preconceived notions about age and, in many respects, succeeds. Ever the excellent collaborator, M works a winning formula: tapping rising dance producers (here Martin Solveig and Benny Benassi) and harnessing their sound for a more mainstream pop audience. And for safe measure, she also enlists Ray of Light producer William Orbit.

It becomes clear early in the album that there are some dark demons to exhume. “Gang Bang,” one of her most intriguing, edgy tracks in years, serves up some serious revenge-fantasy drama. “Beautiful Killer” (among the album’s more radio-friendly tracks) ends in a gunshot and gleefully borrows a melody from another M song about killing: “Die Another Day.”

Madonna reserves some serious artillery for both critics and her ex-husband Guy Ritchie—and delivers the confessional goods with the similarly titled “I Don’t Give A” and “I Fucked Up,” two of MDNA’s strongest tracks. Throughout the album, in fact, she goes deep into the divorce—clearly leaving her angry, scared and vulnerable. And the most relatable she’s been in ages.

There’s still some frothy fun to be had here. “Turn Up the Radio” is the album’s most obvious hit (honestly, should’ve been the first single)—classic Madonna updated with some Solveig savvy. “I’m Addicted”—while a trite concept—is adapted into a delicious dance-floor stomper.

In the Madonna oeuvre, MDNA is definitely better than Music, but not her Ray of Light or Like a Prayer best. But you can’t fault someone for continuing to be adventurous, sexual, not giving a fuck and making an album that any primadonna half her age will envy. Leave it to Madonna for setting yet another new pop paradigm and—bang! bang!—once again winning the Wild West.

Glad to see the new album is doing so well!! The general reaction, at least based on what I've observed from friends, has been pretty positive. I played about half the album scattered throughout the night at my DJ gig on Friday night and it was very well-received. Tons of great potential singles. Can't wait to hear some mixes of "I'm Addicted" and "Turn Up the Radio"

To the contrary its doing really bad if u leave out the free give aways. the first week sales from the last album r album half. Next week its expected to be out of the top 10.

How is it doing really bad, when it's number 1 in so many countries? The US is not the world.

Madonna is a worldwide artist, she's not only depending on the US.
