Chart News: Week Of 12/8/2012

As Madonna's MDNA Tour plays it's final dates in South America, it's looking more and more likely that all promo for MDNA is now completely over. No more singles, no club play promos...not even any news of that supposed Brazilian release for "Superstar". It's a little sad, but eventually all things come to an end (although I really think they could have milked one more Club Play #1 out of this album!). Now we can look forward to the tour DVD and Madonna's next album, which she supposedly has already started working on (Maybe she's just started thinking about it. Who knows!)

MDNA falls down to #16 this week on the Dance / Electronic Albums chart in its 35th week.

DANCE / ELECTRONIC ALBUMS: #16 (Down from #14)

Hot Tours: Madonna Enjoys Fifth No. 1 Since Launch Of MDNA Tour


Madonna claims the No. 1 ranking on the weekly tally of Hot Tours for the fifth time since the launch of her blockbuster MDNA Tour that has been playing concert venues in Europe and North America since the end of May. Ticket revenue reported during the past week surpasses the $60 million mark from performances that occurred during October and November in 18 U.S. cities. With two-show runs at venues in Seattle, San Jose, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston, St. Paul and New York City, the overall attendance count from six weeks of concerts totals 336,386.

With $233 million already logged from 74 shows and a string of stadium performances scheduled in South American cities through December 22, the MDNA Tour is on track to potentially rank among the 10 top-grossing tours of all time. Madonna¹s top-grossing tour so far is Sticky & Sweet Tour (2008-2009) that generated more than $407 million in ticket sales and ranks fourth all-time on the Boxscore tally.

Madonna Celebrates 30th Anniversary On Billboard Charts


Who's that girl celebrating her 30th anniversary on Billboard charts today? Madonna. 

Thirty years ago today, on Nov. 6, 1982, Madonna made her Billboard chart debut, entering the Dance/Club Play Songs tally at No. 40 with "Everybody." Since then, our charts and pop music have never been the same.

"Everybody" was Madonna's first single for Sire/Warner Bros. and the first of an amazing 60 hits on the Dance/Club Play Songs chart (so far) for the diva.

Here is a look at a few of the entertainer's amazing Billboard chart feats through the years:
