Madonna Scores European Double

MADONNA has proved to be the real Queen of Pop - she's scored a double atop the European singles and albums charts.

The superstar's collaboration with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, 4 Minutes, is the best-selling song in Europe for the third week running, while her new LP Hard Candy has overtaken Duffy's Rockferry to land the number one position on the European albums chart.

The Welsh singer is now at two, while Amy Winehouse's Back To Black is still flying high in third place.

In the singles chart, the top four remain unmoved - Duffy's former number one Mercy is at two, Estelle's American Boy featuring Kanye West is at three, and Enrique Iglesias' Tired Of Being Sorry sits at four.

The only new entry in the top five is German reality TV star Mark Medlock's new release Summer Love, which enters at five.
