On Wednesday evening, Madonna took her second trip to Twitterville to celebrate scoring her eighth number-one album on the Billboard 200 chart with MDNA . The album sold 359 thousand copies during its first week of release, the most successful debut for an album so far this year -- and Madge's fifth consecutive chart-topping studio album.
It was an accomplishment that Madonna apparently learned of at a surprise party in her honor before the Twitter event Wednesday evening. "I swear I didn't know," Madge tweeted . "I walked into rehearsal with 100 balloons and was confused. The thrill of being #1 never goes away."
Again, her fans, both famous and not, flooded her handle @MadonnaMDNAday and the hashtag #AskMadonna for a chance to talk to the pop icon. And again, the questions ranged from the everyday to the existential.
More celebrities interacted with Madonna this time around, including Katy Perry , Lionel Ritchie , and Britney Spears .
Katy Perry asked her, "Which evolution of you in your career has been your favorite/most fulfilling, besides the present?" Madonna replied, "Ray of Light. That was a good moment. I wanna see you in the front row somewhere this year. okay?"
Britney congratulated Madonna, saying, "love the new album - every single song is incredible. congrats girl!" and Madonna left fans' tongues wagging by responding , "please come on stage and kiss me again. I miss you!!" Brit responded, "Tempting."
Another spicy exchange was between Madonna and Lionel Ritchie, whose compilation album Tuskegee reached #2 on the Billboard 200 chart, debuting right under Madonna. "There is no one I would rather be on top with. Congratulations!! I am so happy for you," Ritchie tweeted. "OK, but as long as I'm on top," Madonna quipped . "I wouldn't have it any other way!!" Ritchie said. "Smart man," Madge responded.
Madonna also pitched a famous recording artist for her upcoming concerts, telling Skrillex , "I worship you. Why won't you open up for one of my shows?"
