The original versions of Fearless and Speak Now didn't go #1 in the UK but the TVs did. The only rerecording that overlaps is Red TV.

I was told they were entirely new albums and should not be counted with their prior version.  What is the truth?

[Maroonx]

Legends only!

Oh I see Lana creeped in there too... I love it, she's put out some amazing albums that deserved #1. x

Namie released 'Finally' like 5 years ago... right?

But she's still smashing it... I'm sure the album must still be charting

If you remove duplicates they would be tied, since the original Fearless and Speak Now didn't go #1, only Red went #1 twice. Considering current track record, Lana might pass Kylie but both will pass Madonna by the end of the decade (unless Lana slows down, Kylie is already eyeing 2 more albums in the near future).

I'm not so sure about that. You're assuming Madonna has stopped making albums and will never score another #1 album again, but we already know she's been working on something with Max Martin, Nile Rogers and Stuart Price, so it's highly likely to be a dance album - which we all know the UK gravitate towards, The tour is right around the corner too, which will re-spark more interest in her music, so don't count your eggs before they've hatched just yet.

Yes, exactly, and that album was a compilation of old remixes that fans have had for decades.
