According to dotmusic.com, ‘Love Profusion’, the fourth UK single off ‘American Life’, debuts at #11, breaking Madonna’s string of 17 consecutive top ten hits that started with ‘You Must Love Me’ in 1996. There are however slim chances the song may go up since many singles experience a rise on the charts during the post-Christmas period, when there are very few new singles released. Still a good chart placing considering the lack of promotion it has received!
Following Madonna’s first major string of 35 consecutive top ten hits (a record for any act in the UK), which started with Like A Virgin in 1984 and ended when Take A Bow peaked at #16 in 1994, Madonna’s second major string of top ten hits gave her 17 entries:
1. You Must Love Me (#10 in October 1996)
2. Don’t Cry For Me Argentina (#3 in December 1996)
3. Another Suitcase In Another Hall (#7 in March 1997)
4. Frozen (#1 in March 1998)

6. Drowned World/Substitute For Love (#10 in August 1998)
7. The Power Of Good-Bye / Little Star (Double A-Side) (#6 in December 1998)
8. Nothing Really Matters (#7 in March 1999)
