Madonna's 'Rebel Heart' Is The Best Selling Album In America

Madonna's 'Rebel Heart' Is The Best Selling Album In America

Rebel Heart, the 13th studio album from Madonna is the best selling album in the country this week.

Raves for Madonna's Rebel Heart include:

PITCHFORK:  "She essentially built the house that everyone else-Britney, Beyoncé, Nicki, Gaga, Sky, Rihanna, Katy, Ariana, even Kanye-all now get to call home. She devised the archetype of pop stardom as we know and understand it today. And, with the exception of Michael Jackson-the King of Pop to her Queen-Madonna's enduring impact on popular culture remains pretty much unequaled."   

ROLLING STONE:  "Rebel Heart is a long, passionate, self-referential meditation on losing love and finding purpose in chilling times."  

LA TIMES:  "Rebel Heart like its creator pushes through the pain and more often than not lands solidy and with great grace on its feet."  

NOISEY: "Madonna continues to keep us on our toes, like no other performer in the history of modern music." 

NY DAILY NEWS: "Rebel Heart's best moments boast some of the most finely structured pop melodies of Madonna's 32-year career."   

LONDON TIMES:  At her best, Madonna remains head and sHoulders above everyone else in pop." 

THE TELEGRAPH:  Madonna is relaxed and confident, singing with the sweetness and freshness of her youth, yet with much greater technical accomplishment."

THE SUN:  Her best album in l7 years and one of the greatest of her career.. Provocative, sexy, emotionally raw and self referential."

Madonna is currently in LA for a week long residency on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.  She is performing several cuts from her new album and is also be filming a new video for her upcoming single "Ghosttown" which will be directed by her longtime video collaborator Jonas Åkerlund  ("Ray of Light", "Music", "American Life") and will co-star Empire's Terrence Howard.

Madonna 'most played' artist of decade

Madonna was the most played artist of the last decade in the UK, according to music licensing body PPL.

The singer, 51, who had her first UK hit with Holiday in 1984, beat The Beatles into second place and Robbie Williams into third.

Queen were fourth and Take That were fifth in the chart compiled for BBC Radio 2.

It was based on plays - between 2000 and 2009 - on TV, radio and in public places including pubs, clubs and shops.

PPL collects royalties for sound recordings.

Madonna was the only female solo singer to make the top 10.

Girl band Sugababes, meanwhile, who entered the UK charts for the first time in 2000 with Overload, were the only act in the top 10 who emerged within the decade being scrutinised.

The chart was revealed on Radio 2 show People's Artist Chart, presented by comedian Patrick Kielty.

In December, PPL announced that Snow Patrol song Chasing Cars was the most widely-played song of the decade.

Last year, another chart compiled for Radio 2 - also by PPL - found that Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale was the most played song in public places in the previous 75 years.

The song, which features a distinctive organ riff, stayed at number one for six weeks in the UK in the summer of 1967.
