Madonna joins Beatles, Taylor Swift and Drake with 10 US #1 albums and singles

Madonna’s new album Confessions II entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1, giving her a tenth chart‑topping album in the United States. This achievement places her alongside the Beatles, Taylor Swift and Drake as the only artists to have at least ten No. 1 albums and ten No. 1 singles on Billboard’s main album and singles charts.

The milestone also makes Madonna the first female artist ever to secure a No. 1 album in five consecutive decades. The record‑breaking release simultaneously debuted at the top of the UK sales and streaming charts, underscoring her continued transatlantic commercial dominance.

Industry observers note the feat highlights Madonna’s four‑decade‑long ability to adapt to changing music formats, from vinyl to streaming, and cements her status as a historic figure in pop music.
