When Madonna singed with Live Nation in October of 2007, a lot of eyebrows were raised at the potential $120 million contract. Her last few albums had done well but not spectacular; however, she was still a huge concert draw.

Well, Live Nation and Interscope Records (who is releasing her new album in conjunction with Live Nation) must be grinning from ear-to-ear because the media juggernaut that is kicking off the run up to Madonna's MDNA album is producing huge results.

Last Sunday night, her performance during half-time at the Super Bowl was the most watched in history with 112.6 million viewers. That twelve minutes actually had a higher viewership than the actual game. That performance pushed the pre-orders for the album to the top of the charts in iTunes stores in fifty countries around the world.

Two days before, Clear Channel stations had a coordinated the premier of the single Give Me All Your Luvin' on its stations with hourly plays throughout the day and had the video playing on digital billboards in many markets.

Interscope Records outlined some of the other numbers that Madonna is putting up in a Thursday press release.
