Madonna matches Elvis' record, behind only the Beatles

This week, Madonna's new greatest hits package bowed at Number 1 in the UK, giving her 11 chart-topping albums there. That ties the record Elvis set (rather, his estate set) in 2008 with 'The King.' That leaves her only behind the Beatles, whose 15 number 1 albums make them the most successful act in the history of the albums chart.
Mantis-arms has found much greater success across the pond than in her native country, as she only has 7 U.S. chart topping albums. That leaves her in a tie for 7th, with Led Zepplin and U2. That all may change this coming week when 'Celebration' gets released stateside, but considering the tepid response so far, fans shouldn't be too hopeful. No reason to pout, though. Sales should be strong through the holidays, and after only a week the package has already gone gold in England and platinum in Finland.
