Madonna is supporting her 11th studio album, "Hard Candy," which surfaced in April and debuted at No. 1 in more than 30 countries, including the US. Her latest single, "Give It 2 Me," has become her 39th No. 1 club hit, according to her website.

Madonna's previous album, 2005's "Confessions on a Dance Floor," sold more than 8.5 million copies and her 2006 outing to support the set became the highest-grossing concert tour of all time by a female artist, according to a press release. She's hoping to break her own record with the "Sticky & Sweet" tour.
