The MDNA Tour CD, DVD and Blu-Ray take over the Charts

Update from Billboard.com:

Madonna, “MDNA World Tour” (No. 90): The album version of Madonna’s “MDNA World Tour” concert video release debuts at No. 90 with 4,000 sold. It was issued only as a digital album and a CD-R on demand from Amazon.com. It is her 26th chart entry on the Billboard 200.

Meanwhile, on the Music Video Sales chart, the blu-ray and DVD version of the “MDNA World Tour” release combine to sell 11,000 for a No. 1 debut. It’s her 10th No. 1 and sixth chart-topper in a row.

Her last live album and video release, 2010’s “Sticky & Sweet Tour,” was released on blu-ray, CD/DVD and as a digital album. The former configuration enabled its No. 1 debut on Music Video Sales with 5,000, while the latter two combined for a No. 10 arrival on the Billboard 200 (28,000).

Had “MDNA World Tour” been issued on traditional CD and CD/DVD (and/or CD/blu-ray combo), then the album would have naturally charted much higher than No. 90 on the Billboard 200.

The MDNA Tour was released last week on CD, DVD and Blu-Ray, but everything didn’t go as planned.

Lots of fans complained about the quality of the DVD/Blu-Ray and Madonna commented during the Reddit AMA that they are currently looking into it as it might be a case of old technology not working with new technology.

This, however, didn’t stop it from entering the charts at number one all around the world!
