Madonna Scores 12th UK #1 Album/Breaks New Record

She’s called the Queen for a reason.

Yes, while many would like to write Madonna off as the Margo to GaGa‘s Eve, it appears the former is just as popular today as she has ever been- despite the continuous age bias her cause suffers from.

Because, as of today, she has scored her 12th UK #1 album with ‘MDNA‘.  Now holding the record for having the most #1 albums as a soloist, the LP’s success follows the icon’s stint at Superbowl 2012 and the release of the controversial video, ‘Girl Gone Wild‘.  Beating David Guetta‘s ‘Nothing But The Beat’ to the top spot, the album is set to follow suit in the US with unexpectedly high first week sales predictions.
