It was just revealed that Empire‘s soundtrack, which was released last week, is going to have a number one debut on the Billboard 200 chart, topping Madonna‘s new album.

While the official numbers aren’t in yet, Deadline is reporting that Empire will be scoring the first network TV soundtrack featuring songs performed by the original artist to top the chart since Miami Vice back in 1986.
