It’s a busy week at the top of the The Billboard 200, with Madonna’s “Hard Candy” leading the action at No. 1. It is her seventh chart-topper, the second-most among all female artists — only Barbra Streisand, with eight, has more. The Warner Bros. set moved 280,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. After racing 68-3 last month, the Madonna’s single “4 Minutes” gave her her 37th top 10 hit — the most of any artist in the rock era. Until now, she and Elvis Presley were tied with 36 apiece.
As a consequence, Mariah Carey’s “E=MC2″ (Island Def Jam) is dethroned to No. 2 after two weeks on top.
