Madonna, Confessions II keeps her in Germany’s charts
Published on 08/19/2026 at 20:19 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Madonna remains a fixture in German pop culture as Confessions II climbs into the country’s Official Albums Chart and fans celebrate the record with dedicated club nights in Berlin. According to a July 10, 2026 report from Baden-Baden, the album debuted at No. 2 in Germany’s Official Albums Chart, just behind German rapper Finch.
How Confessions II performs in Germany
The Baden-Baden-based chart service behind the Offizielle Deutsche Charts reported in early July 2026 that Madonna’s Confessions II entered the German album rankings at No. 2, confirming the singer’s continued pull with domestic audiences. The regional report from July 10, 2026 notes that Finch held the top spot while Madonna and Deep Purple completed the podium.
This No. 2 debut means Confessions II opened higher in Germany than some of Madonna’s recent archival projects, such as the remix collection Finally Enough Love, which previously peaked at No. 12 according to the Official German Charts database. The step from a No. 12 peak to a No. 2 debut illustrates how a new studio project with fresh singles still commands significant attention in the German market.
The album and its new singles
Confessions II has been rolled out with a series of singles that underline Madonna’s continued emphasis on the dance floor. iHeartRadio reported in April 2026 that first single I Feel So Free premiered on Pride Radio and that the album was scheduled for release on July 3, 2026. The station’s coverage framed the track as an introduction to the long-awaited sequel to 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor.
By June, music site Consequence highlighted the track Love Sensation as the third advance song from the album, noting that Madonna had already released I Feel So Free and the collaboration Bring Your Love with Sabrina Carpenter earlier in 2026. The report on Love Sensation points out that Confessions II is framed as a direct sequel to her 2005 club-focused album, reinforcing the project’s conceptual link to one of her most influential records.
