On July 12, 2026, Billboard announced that Madonna’s CONFESSIONS II had debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, giving her the tenth U.S. No. 1 album of her career.

The album opened with 134,000 equivalent album units, marking Madonna’s biggest week since the Billboard 200 adopted its current album-equivalent methodology in 2014. It was also the largest week for a dance album in 2026.

Of that total, 114,000 came from traditional album sales—her strongest sales week since 2012—while 20.1 million official on-demand streams gave Madonna the biggest streaming week of her career for an album.

Vinyl accounted for 59,000 copies sold across 15 variants, delivering Madonna’s largest vinyl sales week since Luminate began electronically tracking sales in 1991.

CONFESSIONS II also debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart.

With the achievement, Madonna became the first artist to earn a No. 1 album in the 2020s after also topping the Billboard 200 in three earlier decades: the 1980s, 2000s and 2010s.

More than 41 years after Like a Virgin became her first U.S. No. 1 album, Madonna returned to the top of the Billboard 200 for the tenth time.
