Aging pop star Madonna‘s accomplishments this era have been disproportionately…top heavy.

Meaning her endeavors usually pull in record-breaking numbers their debuting week, only to completely lose steam and die-out in their following weeks. Take the No. 1 flop ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’ for example.

Continuing Madge’s latest pattern of see-sawed success comes ‘MDNA’‘s second week sales figures which are expected to set a new record as the largest 1st-to-2nd week drop in Billboard history.

See the full details below.

As reported last week, ‘Holiday’ hitmaker Madonna would have much cause to celebrate given the expected performance of her 12th LP ‘MDNA’.  Industry insiders expected the ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’-led LP to shift 300-350k in its first week based on the strength of its first day sales.

However, much like in many other aspects of the 53-year-old’s career, the Material Girl silenced naysayers when she even exceeded those expectations.  Bursting onto Billboard, find out how much Madge moved after the jump (in the absence of a major promo push):

She’s called the Queen for a reason.

Yes, while many would like to write Madonna off as the Margo to GaGa‘s Eve, it appears the former is just as popular today as she has ever been- despite the continuous age bias her cause suffers from.

Because, as of today, she has scored her 12th UK #1 album with ‘MDNA‘.

Queen of Pop Madonna is on course to remind heiresses that she is indeed still ruling the charts.  For, just one week after the debut of her Youtube (partially) banned number ‘Girls Gone Wild’, her faithful following have gone to task to put the Material Girl’s latest material atop Billboard charts.

Boasting her best first week number’s since 2005’s ‘Confessions On A Dance Floor’, ‘MDNA’ marks Madge’s 5th consecutive #1 album and 8th overall (starting with 2000’s ‘Music’).

Back in December, on the set of Madonna‘s clip for ‘Give Me All  Your Luvin’, the star showcased her softer side when she surprised Nicki Minaj with a mini party, in honor of the femcee’s birthday.

While audio of the shindig surfaced here a while back, today saw the arrival footage, which sees the Material Girl kiss Minaj in the full gaze of the video’s cast and crew, after wishing her a Happy Birthday.

A Madonna campaign just wouldn’t be right without a little controversy.

For, after releasing the well received clip that is ‘Girl Gone Wild‘ last week, it has been restricted by YouTube, deemed too raunchy to be seen by the masses.

For Madonna‘s twelfth studio album, the Material Girl has ditched the ‘hard candy’ in favor of something stronger, something meaner. Something she bills, her ‘MDNA’.

A Pop triangulation of sorts, the set was primary produced by the singer’s longtime collaborator William Orbit and two contemporary composers, Benny Benassi and Martin Solveig, to inject an air of “fresh” and “exciting”. As always, being the businesswoman that she is, M shares a songwriting and producing credit on every track.

As her first release not to be associated with Warner Bros. Records (the label she called home since 1982), all eyes are on whether the ‘Queen of Pop’ has crafted a blockbuster Pop LP. One which firmly plants her as a viable contender against the Rihanna‘s and Katy Perry‘s of the world. And one which, at the same time, reintroduces her brand to the ‘YouTube Generation’.

Beyond this, there also remains the penultimate question: as a solid body of work, how hard does ‘MDNA’ hit? Swallow the full review after the jump.
