Madonna is back at Number 1. CONFESSIONS II topped the UK albums chart this week, and in doing so she became the first American woman to score a chart-topper in five separate decades, the ’80s, ’90s, ’00s, ’10s and now the ’20s! It’s her 13th UK Number 1, putting her level with Elvis Presley on the all-time list. She nabbed the vinyl chart too.
It’s her first Number 1 since 2012’s MDNA, a 14-year gap. Somewhere a teenager is discovering “Like a Prayer” for the first time while its maker sits back on top of the chart at 67. That’ll show em!

Like a Virgin (1984)
True Blue (1986)
