^SoundScan was not in existence until 1991. Only a handful of albums debuted at No. 1 from the 60s through 1991. The charts were compiled from stores' ranked reports- each title received a set number of points based on their ranks on those lists. So, it may have been that the No. 2 album, No. 3 album, etc. actually sold more units in a week than the No. 1 album. The airplay chart was compiled in a similar manner (ranked reports from radio stations). Oh, OK. Thanks. Been wanting to know the reason for a while now.

Figured I'd post the write-up from that link. It's a very nice- and accurate- summation. www.citycorellc.com/projects/ovation/Artist/index.php?artist=MadonnaMadonnaFew artists in American music history have managed to stay relevant, controversial and in demand for almost 30 years, like Madonna. Madonna is more than a musician and pop icon, she's a revolutionary who has carved a spot in our cultural history as a champion of gender equality and sexual empowerment. Early in her career, Madonna did more than simply define the style and sound of the 80’s, she brought substance and meaning to pop music. Madonna dared to be shocking at a time when much of American culture was heading in a more conservative direction. With strength and fortitude, Madonna brought unabashed sexuality to the feminist movement. It wasn't welcomed by everyone, but she was never one to be silenced. Throughout her career, Madonna has challenged the church, politicians and cultural mores across the world with little concern or fear for what it would do to her album sales and popularity. Madonna’s undeniable desire to stay true to herself while also reinventing herself to define the times has put her on a pedestal that few other artists have reached. Maybe that's why she's the top selling female musician of all time.

Madonna, do you know Madeon? No? Well, allow me to introduce you. You'll want to get his number on speed-dial, because if this 17-year-old can do for you what he did for deadmau5, I will sh*t my pants.

That's exactly the kind of sound I want for this album.

That studio could be movie-related, no? Someone noted a Gnomeo and Juliet poster on the inside wall.

it's July tho, is it not? It's fun to speculate. Plus W.E. is finished.

^There may be some extra work on the movie yet, though, following the test screening.

i'm under the assumption that her involvement is done. She could very well be working on new music.

Can't wait for new music from M! I really hope she slays it.

That could be, SPR, but as director, I would think she'd be involved if, say, they were to do a scene reshoot or something like that. I would also think she'd be involved in any kind of re-editing, but who knows.
Believe me- I want her in that studio- with non-overused producers- as much as anyone else. :)

Countless movies are changed after test screenings, even though they were already "finished." If there's enough negative feedback about something or other in the film they go back and re-edit or maybe even shoot more scenes.
'Fatal Attraction' is the most notorious example.

I've honestly only heard positive things about W.E. so far.

^Yes- Guy O. tweeted that today is her first day in the studio. This is such amazing news. Very happy. But, why couldn't she wait until tomorrow? She should be enjoying the day with her kids. After all, it is the 4th of July. Nonetheless, i am extremely excited.

I'd love for her to record a song like that. I love that. It is easy to imagine her voice with that sound. Very Madonna. Wow ! It has begun! Just need to know who she will be working with and what her image will be this time. So excited for some leaks.

He's mostly for lyrics (not a producer)... and he is quite good (Don't Tell Me & Jump). I'd love for her to work with Henry and *get ready for it* Patrick Leonard.... just for lyrics. Then use the great producers similar to Mirwais (Music), Orbit (Ray of Light), and Price (Confessions). I don't mean she has to work with those producers, but ones who she brings out the best in like those. I would love for her to work with those specific songwriters though (among others).

I don't think that she should work with Martin Solveig. He isn't all that unknown and underground (well, to middle America, yes) but in the Dance/Electronic world, he has been out for a while. I feel that his sound is a tad outdated and played out.
