Madonna performs a surprise concert in Times Square on June 4, 2026. Santiago Felipe/GC Images After Madonna‘s hotly anticipated Confessions II debuted in the top spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the singer took to social media to express her gratitude and shock over its massive success.
“Words cannot express how Grateful and Surprised I am By the incredible reception, Confessions on a Dance Floor has received,” Madonna wrote on Monday in an Instagram post alongside snapshots from her promo for the excellent new LP. “Thank You -to everyone who has been a part of this and who has helped make this dream come true. Especially my Fans . The Goodwill and positivity has been incredible.”
Madonna added that she’s “still pinching myself” and “can’t believe” her album has surged to the top of the charts “all around the world.”

Confessions II marks the first time Madonna has ruled the album charts in the 2020s — over 20 years after Confessions on a Dance Floor took over the charts. Since the release of 1984’s Like a Virgin, Madonna has now amassed 10 albums at Number One — and is the only artist with at least one Number One in the 1980s, 2000s, 2010s, and now 2020s. She is also just the fourth artist to rack up 10 Number Ones on both the Billboard 200 and the Hot 100; only the Beatles, Taylor Swift, and Drake achieved that prior to the Material Girl, Billboard reported.
