- in Greece<\/strong> the album reached No.1 on the Top-100 Albums Sales Chart on 15\/7 in its second week after entering at 6 in its first, incomplete tracking week; this is due to the way data is collected for the IFPI chart in the country, where rankings are announced on Wednesdays.<\/li>\n
- Confessions II<\/strong><\/em> also entered at at no.2 in Ireland\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0New Zealand<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In Germany Confessions II<\/em> <\/strong>is the No. 1 album in the Top 20 Pop-Charts and No. 2 in the Official Album Charts. These two German charts measure completely different formats using different calculations: the general chart combines all genres and is based strictly on revenue value, with local acts marketing collectible, high-priced limited editions receiving an advantage and often blocking international pop stars from reaching the No. 1 spot.
\nThe Top 20 Pop-Charts filters out rap, rock and techno to focus on pop music only, with a ranking compiled on a blend on unit sales, streaming and radio airplay: and this is where the Queen of Pop resides.<\/p>\nIn Japan<\/strong> the album entered the official Oricon Albums Chart at No. 45 but this is not unexpected as Western pop releases have seen lower initial physical sales positions on the main Japanese charts in recent years in a market heavily favouring domestic acts.<\/p>\nWe’ll update this list as new chart results are announced.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
