Madonna's Albums Surge As She Scores A New No. 1
Madonna is back on the United Kingdom's charts this week with a brand new release, and the success of the exciting project has once again drawn attention to other titles within her catalog. Veronica Electronica, a remix collection built around tracks from her Ray of Light era and featuring the never-before-shared cut 'Gone Gone Gone,' launches on multiple tallies, while two of her past sets also return.
Veronica Electronica Leads
Three Madonna full-lengths appear on the U.K. rankings this frame, and Veronica Electronica is the biggest of the bunch. The remix project makes its debut on six different charts. At the same time, her 1990 compilation The Immaculate Collection and her 2022 remix effort Finally Enough Love both reenter as listeners revisit her older work alongside her latest offering.
The Immaculate Collection and Finally Enough Love
The Immaculate Collection returns to the Official Album Downloads chart at No. 83. At the same time, Finally Enough Love reappears on the Official Album Streaming ranking at No. 85. Those titles are both performing very well for years-old collections, but in different ways.
The Immaculate Collection Rises Hugh
Of the two returning projects, The Immaculate Collection earns the higher placement. The best-of set, which houses many of Madonna's earliest and most successful singles, has now spent 144 weeks on the Official Album Downloads chart. It previously peaked at No. 11 and continues to stand as one of her most consistent sellers.
Finally Enough Love Extends Its Streaming Run
Finally Enough Love compiles 50 remixed tracks that all reached No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart – a record among all acts. Though it only managed a peak of No. 48 on the Official Album Streaming list in the U.K., it's now logged 118 weeks on the roster— an unusually long stay for a remix collection.
Veronica Electronica Debuts at No. 1
Veronica Electronica opens at No. 1 on the Official Dance Albums chart, becoming Madonna's second leader on the genre-specific tally. It also lands inside the top 10 on nearly every other U.K. album ranking it appears on this week.
A Solid Start for Veronica Electronica
The only tally where Veronica Electronica misses the top 10 is the all-genre Official Albums chart, where it launches at No. 23. That's still a healthy opening position for a remix project, even for one that comes from one of the biggest stars in the world.
