Madonna has hit the number 1 spot on the UK album chart for the eleventh time.
This means that the Queen of Pop has now equalled the record held by Elvis Presley for the most number 1 albums by a solo artist.
The only act ahead of Madonna and Elvis are The Beatles, who have so far hit the top spot 15 times.
As far as female solo artists are concerned, Madonna is now way ahead as the most successful female solo artist of all time.
As well as eleven number 1 albums, Madonna has achieved 13 UK number 1 singles and has spent more weeks at the albums’ top spot than any of her competitors.
Madonna also holds the record for highest grossing tour by a female artist courtesy of her recent Sticky and Sweet tour.
