More MDNA Worldwide Album Chart Reports

While a certain part of the US press keeps screaming that the sky is falling after the results of MDNA’s second week in the Billboard chart – but the most interesting part was actually most of the worldwide press reprising the news without even being able to get their information straight, and confusing a bitter blogger with the official voice of a top financial outlet – Madonna’s new album continues an amazing performance in the album charts all over the world, with Gold and Platinum certifications, and often keeping a solid spot in the Top Five.

The countries were MDNA is already Platinum – according to Guy Oseary himself – are: Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Italy, Poland, and Brazil, Double platinum in Colombia, Greece and Russia..

MDNA is also Gold in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Mexico, Venezuela, Romania, Portugal, and Austria.

• In both Italy and Greece MDNA is down to number #2 after entering the chart at #1 last week. In Poland the new album goes down from #1 to #5.

• In Finland the new album goes actually up one place in its third week in the chart. After entering in the top place and falling at #3 last week, MDNA is up to #2.

• In Hungary, after being #1 for 2 weeks, MDNA goes down to #4 but it’s still in the Top 5.

• In Argentina the Deluxe Version of MDNA is down from #1 to #4 this week, and the standard edition is at #6 from #5. If both versions were combined, MDNA would have the #1 album in Argentina for 2 weeks, a similar scenario to what has happened in South Korea.

• In France, MDNA steps down from #2 to #6 in its second week in the Top Ten.

• In Canada MDNA drops from #1 to #6.

• In the latest update by Mediatraffic MDNA goes down to #3 from last week’s #1 with estimates of 182,000 units.

Combined with last week’s estimates, MDNA jumps over Bruce Springsteen in the best sellers globally for albums released in 2012 and its currently ranking at #2 with 922,000 copies.
