Ever since Prince was the first and the last artist to try the trick of giving an album away with every ticket for it to count towards record sales all albums given away with a concert ticket does NOT count towards album sales. Billboard changed the rules when Prince did this. So in reality Madonna is giving away her album for FREE in the United States. This is prolly because she knows that in the US she doesn't sell well anymore and makes her money in the US with concert tickets. But she sells extremely well all over the rest of the world which is why she is not giving her album away for free elsewhere.

Say what you may about the songs on this album, but this album is getting MASSIVE RAVE reviews from all over the world including the US. It's her most critically acclaimed album of the last decade. Like it or not, it's still a killer album.
