The 54-year-old has beaten British singer Adele and her super-selling hit 21 and Lana Del Rey with Born To Die, who landed at four and five on the countdown respectively, reported Contactmusic.

Madonna sparked a controversy when she took her MDNA tour to Russia in August this year. She was served with a USD 10.5- million lawsuit by activists who alleged that she had illegally promoted homosexuality at her show in St Petersburg by handing out pink wristbands in support of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

The lawsuit was, however, subsequently dismissed.

Madonna had also hit headlines in Russia in 2012 by supporting members of punk band Pussy Riot who were jailed for performing a song railing against President Vladimir Putin in February.
