America was still four years away from the first of three wars in the Middle East, Lady Gaga was a newborn, and the Internet was just a twinkle in the eye of some academic nerds' coke-bottle glasses.
That's how long it's been since Madonna and Lionel Richie were both in the top five of the Billboard 200 chart at the same time. The year was 1986, and Richie was riding high with his smash #1 album, Dancing on the Ceiling, while Madge was at #5 with her former #1, True Blue.
Next week the pair will be chart mates again, as Madonna's dance-tastic MDNA is predicted to sell between 300,000 and 350,000 copies to take the top spot, while Richie's album of country re-workings of his biggest hits,Tuskegee, should land at #2 on sales of 125,000 to 150,000.
