Madonna has no peers. They're all dead or in forced retirement. She's not in competition with girlies half her age. Her only competition is herself. Male or female, nobody in their 60s (hell, nobody in their 50s) is doing it like she is.
No one in a million years expected Madonna to still be selling records like it’s 2005. Sure, the album was heavily promoted prior, but selling over 130K copies in the first week as an artist who’s been in the game for more than 40 years? That’s an absolutely iconic achievement. This is such a gag
