It's a battle between The Boss and The Queen of Pop on this week's Official Albums Chart as new records by Madonna and Bruce Springsteen go head to head for the Number 1 spot. 

Bruce's Western Stars - his 19th studio album - currently leads the way over Madonna's 14th collection Madame X by just shy of 16,000 combined sales on the latest Official Chart Update. 

If Western Stars holds its position, it'll mark Bruce's 11th Number 1 album on the Official UK Chart.

Lol he's not blocking her, he has huge lead, she will struggle to remain in top 3.

 

She lost UK market to the point of no return. Not even BBC2 picked her this week, they not only have Bruce playlisted, but his album is also their album of the week, and has huge airplay every day.

[touch]

The video will boost Taylor, but I'm pretty sure they will end up in the top 5

[TheArgonaut]

Omg Little Mix.

Why did BBC drop her? Ageism?

No, BBC2 simply picked Bruce over her because Bruce is more for their audiance. 

 

BBC1 was the one who dropped her when they said that they don't wanna playlist old artists anymore (2011)

ugh after the whole TAU situation, that’s a decent result, their video views seem to be holding up and streams are going up again so fingers crossed.

[trainsskyscrapers]

LITTLE MIX.  Impressive. 

[State of Grace.]

I think Taylor will end up at #2 since this is before the MV came out. Praying for #1 but- 

 

anyhow she will most likely debut higher than ME!, a lead single with more promo and radio support

[Kim Kardashian]

Given all the negative press she's had this era, not surprising.

A shame because Madame X deserves much better.

[lover.]

Come through LM.

They had Medellin A listed for over a month. They probably ran out of payola money.

Bouncing back indeed  Also I read on twitter that Capital is not playing the song

BBC2 playlisted RH singles too, it wasn't payola. The problem is that they didn't playlist 2nd single, and album is not their album of the week, which means that she has no airplay at all during her debut week. 

[Katamari]

ed and that poison doing 6 weeks

It's her own fault. She's the stupid stubborn b**** who won't hire proper PR managment to clean her image. She's sinking lower and lower each day, to the point where she won't be even celebrated when she freaking dies.

Yeah but the problem isnt BBC2 not playing her. Its a much bigger problem. She chose not to perform anywhere (probably because they thought Eurovision would be enough) and only do one interview on TV.

Her promo never had any impact on itunes anyway, everytime she performed during RH promo there was no impact on charts. 

Performing on Eurovision simply gave GP one more reason to hate her and not give her a chance ever again. I hope she never performs on tv again after those 2 tragic performances.

my god your posts are getting more and more depressing. the meltdowns here 

she's peaking at #2 like her previous album Rebel Heart...and like she was peaking back in the 90's with most of her albums (I'm Breathless, Erotica, Bedtime Stories, etc) .

I'm sure she will survive lol

think the only time they've played it was when they went into the studio, they've played WLM & the GD singles since, definitely something sketchy with SYCO there especially as they didn't play TAU either 

[frenchyisback]

Surprised at Bruce Springsteen outselling Madonna.
