I think it's kind of a dumb move myself. Even since the Hard Candy album it seems like the album is in a way promotion for the tour whereas a tour is supposed to be in support of an album. I understand concerts bring in the big dough and that Madonna is an amazing performer, but she should still try and sell as many copies of her album. As late as 2005, "confessions on a dance floor" sold an estimated10-12 million copies worldwide. Here in the united states, where her singles were failing to get much love, the album debuted at #1 and stayed for a decent run on the charts. And by the end of '07 COADF had sold 1.7 million units in the states. It's not her 80's or 90's sales but it's still better than most artists could say in that year or this year. I mean hell, lady gagas sophomore album which is considered a smash success has moved 1.7 million copies so I don't think Madonna should give up on selling her records!!
