Despite Top 10 chart placings in other European countries and a #13 debut in the ever-fickle US market, Madonna's lead MDNA single "Give Me All Your Luvin'" has entered the UK chart at the humbling position of #37. This marks her second-lowest chart placing for an official single in the country since her career began, following Hard Candy's "Miles Away" peaking at #39 in 2008. Maybe the Brits are over Her Madgesty after she dared to make W.E.?
Whatever the case may be, the wave of Madonna goings-on in recent weeks has now certainly been overshadowed by the death of Whitney Houston. The 48-year-old singer was found dead in her hotel room at Los Angeles' Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday (supposedly submerged in her bathtub), the eve of today's Grammy Awards. Whitney was expected to attend her mentor Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy party last night.
Says the Official Charts Company:
At the UK iTunes store, Houston's The Ultimate Collection and Whitney - The Greatest Hits are the top two albums, respectively.
The UK Top 10:
1. "Somebody That I Used To Know" - Gotye feat. Kimbra *1 week*
2. "Titanium" - David Guetta feat. Sia
