Madonna Dances To No. 1

Madonna is topping charts all over the world with her Nov. 15 Warner Bros. release, Confessions On A Dance Floor, featuring the hit, “Hung Up.” The single is now one of 36 No. 1 dance singles from an artist who has defined the genre across nearly two decades.

The album, co-produced and co-written by Madonna and DJ wizard Stuart Price, is a return to the icon’s dance-music roots. It debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top 200 charts in the U.S. and in 24 other countries, including Japan, Portugal, Spain, Australia, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy and the U.K.

With sales over 350,000 units in the U.S. alone, Confessions On A Dance Floor, joins Madonna's two previous albums, Music and American Life, as her third straight No. 1 debut.

Three different versions of the album currently hold three out of four top download spots on the iTunes Music store, while "Hung Up" is at No. 1 on the iTunes singles chart.
