Madonna records biggest second-week sales drop in US chart history

Oh dear, MDNA clearly doesn't do as it suggests. According to Forbes, Madonna's new album 'MDNA' has reportedly suffered the biggest second-week sales drop in U.S. chart history. In its first week of sales, the album sold 359,000 copies, which earned the #1 spot in the Billboard Charts, but it appears that these numbers were massively inflated because most of those sales came as giveaways with a live-ticket package. Therefore, the album has only sold 46,000 copies this week, which shows an 88% drop in sales. If it wasn't for this live giveaway, Lionel Richie would have taken the top spot with 'Tuskegee'.

Frank Ocean - PDA (2009 Backstreet Boys Demo)

Unleashed onto the interwebz last night, here is an unreleased track from when Frank Ocean went by the name of Lonny Breaux. 'PDA' was actually a reference track for Backstreet Boys' 2009 album 'This Is Us' - it's amazing how far he has come since then and how much his sound has grown. Still cool as f**k, though.

Premiered just moments ago on Mistajam's show, here is Gemini's massive remix of the fourth single to be lifted from Emeli Sandé's stunning debut album 'Our Version Of Events'.
