Madonna’s new album Veronica Electronica isn’t a traditional studio full-length, but rather a stopgap project meant to tide fans over while they wait for another collection. The set is built around remixes from her Ray of Light era, one of her most successful and critically acclaimed periods. Veronica Electronica only debuts on one U.S. chart this week, but it’s not just another entry for the pop and dance icon — it’s a milestone win.

Veronica Electronica Opens on the Dance Chart

Madonna launches Veronica Electronica solely on the Top Dance Albums chart, which measures the most consumed projects in that style by combining sales and streaming activity. The project barely makes it to the 25-spot tally, opening in last place, at No. 25.

Madonna Earns a Tenth Career Dance Albums Hit

Veronica Electronica is Madonna’s milestone tenth title to reach the dance albums chart. She first landed on the list almost exactly 20 years ago, when Confessions on a Dance Floor appeared in November 2005. That Grammy-winning effort went on to spend 13 weeks at No. 1, and it remains her longest-running champion. The set has spent 102 weeks somewhere on the roster, and it is her only triple-digit week charter.

Half of Madonna’s Dance Albums Have Reached No. 1

Throughout her career, Madonna has reached the top 10 on the dance albums chart six times, and half of those projects have hit No. 1. In addition to Confessions on a Dance Floor, both MDNA and Finally Enough Love — another recent remix set — have also ruled.

Veronica Electronica Is Madonna’s Second Debut of 2025

Veronica Electronica marks Madonna’s second debut on the Top Dance Albums ranking in 2025 alone. Back in January, The Immaculate Collection, her 1990 greatest hits set, arrived on the tally. The following week, it soared to No. 8, reaching its all-time high, and since then, the collection has spent 30 weeks somewhere on the ranking.

Madonna Charts Two Dance Albums in the Same Week

This week, Madonna fills two spaces on the dance albums list. As Veronica Electronica starts at No. 25 and The Immaculate Collection lifts from No. 13 to No. 11, almost cracking the highest tier once more.

“Gone Gone Gone” From the Ray of Light Sessions

The only new addition to Veronica Electronica is “Gone Gone Gone,” an unreleased track from the Ray of Light sessions that has circulated among fans online for years in demo form. Originally recorded in 1997 with producer William Orbit, the song blends the spiritual, atmospheric production that defined that era with a darker, more urgent rhythm. That cut became a quick bestseller a short time ago on the dance lists, and it is powering the quick adoption of the remix set.

Madonna Revisits Ray of Light

Veronica Electronica revisits the Ray of Light era, and it draws from one of the most celebrated periods in Madonna’s career. Released in 1998, Ray of Light produced a string of hits, including “Frozen,” “The Power of Good-Bye,” “Nothing Really Matters,” and the title track, all of which reached charts around the world. The album topped tallies in more than a dozen countries, peaked at No. 2 in the U.S., and won multiple Grammy Awards.
