WARNER MUSIC CANADA PRESS RELEASE

New single has biggest one week sales for a digital track since the establishment of the Digital Tracks Sales Chart

Madonna has done it again. Nielsen SoundScan, the firm that measures actual sales of music in North America, has revealed today that “4 Minutes,” the first single from Madonna’s forthcoming album, Hard Candy, has debuted at #1 on the Digital Tracks Sales Chart with the highest one week total sales since the establishment of the chart in 2005. This follows the news a week ago that “4 Minutes” became the first single to debut at #1 on the CHR chart in the history of BDS in Canada.

“4 Minutes” was co-written by Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. Timberlake also co-produced the track with Timbaland and performs vocals with Madonna. Hard Candy will be released in North America on Tuesday, April 29, 2008. The album features Justin Timberlake on multiple tracks and production by Pharrell Williams, Timbaland and Nate “Danja” Hills.
