Those 5 eras happened during the digital age. Downloads were still low by 2005 and were already going strongly down by 2015 though. That’s why Hung Up sold a surprisingly low 3,2 million units – it would have likely sold about 3 times more on that format if released 5 years later.

Hard Candy ends up being the only era that enjoyed a great digital market while Madonna was still a A-League artist. Consequently, it is logically the highest selling era on that format with nearly 8 million sales.
