'MDNA' is Number One in America

  • April 4, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Madonna's 'MDNA' has entered at the US charts at Number One.

Billboard reports that it's Madonna's eighth album to reach the 'top spot' on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 359,000 copies, a marked improve­ment on 'Hard Candy''s 280,000 debut.

However, the album was helped by a scheme in which fans had the option of buying the album when they purchased tickets for her forth­com­ing tour.

The pop­star/act­ress/au­thor/­film-director/Vita Coco-investor will also return to Twitter to chat with fans later today in cel­eb­ra­tion of the album's success.

She'll use the @MadonnaMDNADay account to answer fans who use the #askmadonna hashtag from 10pm EST (around 2am GMT).
