Reply to "Swept Away, part III"

no surprise that i love it, too, but what is so amazing to me is *how much* of it i like. there's not another madonna album that's solid as this straight thru (excepting 'isaac' on this one, which is awful). the other 11 songs are so so good. not even her first album or ray of light matches it, imo. looks like others agree:

Madonna's new album rules pop charts
Wed Nov 23, 2005 3:52 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Venerable pop icon Madonna danced to the top of the U.S. pop album charts for the sixth time in her career on Wednesday with her third consecutive No. 1 release, "Confessions on a Dance Floor."

Her Warner Bros. disc sold nearly 350,000 copies in the week ended November 20, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and ranks as her third-largest sales week in the tracking firm's 14-year history.

The album and its single "Hung Up" also are No. 1 on the respective British charts. The single is in the top-10 of the U.S. charts.

First-week U.S. sales for "Confessions" fell far short of those for Madonna's 2000 album "Music," which opened at No. 1 with 420,000 copies, but handily eclipsed those of her most recent previous release, "American Life," which started off with 241,000 copies in 2003 and quickly fizzled.
