Madonna’s Confessions II Was the Last No. 1 Album to Top 100,000 Units, Report Says

Madonna’s Confessions II debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in July with 134,000 equivalent album units, including 114,000 pure sales, according to Luminate figures cited by MadonnaTribe. A separate entertainment industry report says it was the most recent album to debut at No. 1 with more than 100,000 copies sold as of October 31, noting no release since had crossed that mark. The phrase “copies sold” simplifies Billboard’s multi-metric unit accounting, which combines purchases and streaming equivalents overall.
