According to Billboard, Madonna and Michael Jackson both appear in this week's Billboard 200 Top 10, marking the first time they've done so together in 25 years. Madonna's Confessions II debuts at No. 1 on the July 18 chart, while Jackson's legendary Thriller remains a fixture at No. 8.
The first came on the Dec. 1, 2001 chart, when Jackson's Invincible sat at No. 4 while Madonna's GHV2: Greatest Hits Volume 2 debuted at No. 7. Their overlap proved fleeting, as both albums slipped out of the Top 10 the following week.
That near miss is especially surprising considering how thoroughly the pair dominated the decade. Jackson spent 41 weeks atop the Billboard 200 during the 1980s, while Madonna added another 16 weeks at No. 1. Yet because their biggest releases rarely arrived at the same time, one of pop music's most famous pairings almost never crossed paths on the albums chart.
The project has also delivered one of the biggest commercial weeks of Madonna's modern era. Confessions II earned 134,000 album-equivalent units in its opening week, becoming her biggest streaming week for an album, her largest album sales week since 2015, and her strongest overall debut since MDNA in 2012.
With Confessions II debuting atop this week's chart and Thriller continuing its remarkable run decades after its original release, the King and Queen of Pop have once again made Billboard history. For two artists whose influence on modern music is virtually unmatched, it's a reminder that their legacies aren't simply enduring. They're still actively shaping the charts, 40 years after they routinely dominated the Billboard charts.
