"Hard Candy", Madonna's 11th and last studio album for Warner Bros. Records debuted at number one in 27 countries including the U.S., Britain and Japan.

The album has been hailed as Madonna's greatest album ever. Her current smash single "4 Minutes" was co-written and co-produced by Madonna, Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. "Hard Candy" is the most downloaded digital album in the U.S. and many other countries.

Madonna's previous studio album "Confessions On A Dance Floor" sold over 8.5 million copies and her 2006 "Confessions" tour was the highest grossing concert tour of all time by a female artist with ticket sales of just under $195 million.
