Madonna Equals Elvis Record
September 27, 2009
Madonna’s new compilation Celebration leaps straight to number one in the Official Album Chart and brings her level with Elvis Presley’s record of eleven UK number one albums, the Official Charts Company reveals today.
No other solo artist can match this achievement. Only The Beatles, with a total of fifteen, have had more number one albums in chart history.
This feat marks yet another record for Madonna, the most successful female solo artist of all time. She has also:
- Spent more weeks (29) at number one of the Official UK Album Chart than any other female solo artist.
- Had more UK number one singles (13) than any other female solo artist.
- Achieved the chart double (simultaneous number one album and single) more times (4) than any other female solo artist.
- Completed the highest grossing tour in history (her recent Sticky & Sweet tour) for a female artist.
Celebration brings together 36 tracks spanning Madonna’s entire career so far and includes a newly recorded song Revolver featuring Lil Wayne.
Celebration The Video Collection DVD with 47 tracks is released tomorrow, Monday 28th September 2009.
Madonna’s UK number one albums:
LIKE A VIRGIN (1984)
TRUE BLUE (1986)
LIKE A PRAYER (1989)
THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION (1990)
EVITA (OST) (1996)
RAY OF LIGHT (1998)

unnecessary !!!!
Madonna is just like....MADONNA....so I don't think that comparison means something...in fact, I would believe that her goals never were and never will be in get or take someone else's records....I like to believe that is about "say what you like and do what you feel"...
In my opinion

I can't wait till she tops Elvis. Me, I'm both a huge Madonna and Beatles fan and I think they're the two greatest things that happened to music. To me, she's a female version of Paul McCartney( a more beautiful version too, since I'm straight). I think she's just as talented as McCartney as well. This news is as great to me as the Beatles selling 2.25 million albums in 5 days. She's a goddess and deserves to be happy.Madonna, thanks for being so great.
