Madonna is officially back with her new album, Confessions II. The sequel to her 20-plus-year-old Grammy-winning set Confessions on a Dance Floor has been hyped for months, and the pop icon has been doling out singles from the set throughout 2026.
The full-length is Madonna’s first in more than seven years – Madame X dropped in June 2019 – and that stretch marks the longest gap between traditional studio LPs for the singer. Confessions II becomes an immediate bestseller all around the world, and dominates iTunes tallies in a number of nations, including Madonna’s home country of the United States.
Madonna Rules iTunes With Confessions II
Confessions II stands out as the most exciting release this Friday (July 3). Each Friday begins a new tracking week in the global music industry, and it is the day when most major stars deliver songs and albums. Confessions II marks the only major debut inside the top 10 on the iTunes Top Albums chart, which ranks the bestselling collections of any length and genre on what is often considered the most important sales platform in the largest music market in the world.
Madonna Fills the Top Two Spaces on iTunes
Confessions II immediately soared to No. 1 on the iTunes Top Albums ranking the moment it was released. Impressively, Madonna fills the loftiest two spaces on the rundown with slightly different versions of Confessions II. Landing in second place is Confessions II: Icon Edition, which includes one bonus track titled “Hot Sauce.”
Madonna Scores Five Bestselling Albums
The iTunes Top Albums chart includes 200 spaces, and Madonna scores five bestsellers this Friday as the multiple versions of Confessions II launch within the top 10. Confessions on a Dance Floor: 20 Years Edition, which Madonna unleashed in 2025, bounds back onto the list at No. 42. In the coming hours, it may break back into the top 40.
Further down on the roster comes The Immaculate Collection, which ascends to No. 115. More than 40 years after its release, Madonna’s self-titled debut, which turned her into a hitmaker thanks to singles like “Lucky Star,” “Holiday” and “Borderline,” returns to the iTunes Top Albums rundown at No. 170.
Four of Madonna’s Confessions II Songs Also Sell Well
Notably, Madonna performs better on the iTunes Top Albums chart thanks to several older titles returning and climbing than she does on the iTunes Top Songs ranking. That suggests that fans of the superstar are more interested in purchasing the collection in full than individual tunes. That said, four of the 17 tracks featured on all versions of Confessions II appear on the iTunes Top Songs roster, and most of them are top 10 smashes.
The three singles pushed from Confessions II before the full-length arrived all live inside the uppermost tier at the moment. “Love Sensation,” the newest of the bunch, breaks back in at No. 4. “Bring Your Love,” Madonna’s collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter, rockets dozens of spaces north and settles at No. 5. Meanwhile, “I Feel So Free,” the initial promotional cut that helped introduce this era, finds its way to No. 6 after failing to find space on the tally only a short time ago.
Just one new track that only became available hours ago as Confessions II arrived also becomes a bestselling hit in its own right. On iTunes, “Danceteria” begins its run at No. 141.
