 * Certification database from BPI shows 4x Platinum (using words: "Madonna" or "Confessions on a Dance Floor") but they have an error in their web ID for the album where it only shows a "silver" award while in graphic "Award Tracker" shows only "multiplatinum".

REFS

 * 90.000 units in Norway (third-party source added)
 * 120.000 units in Netherlands (found a better source with same claimed sales in a local newspaper)

sequenced, yes; blended/continuous, no
The songs are sequenced and blended so that they are played continuously without any gaps.

That's simply not true. Reading the statement makes one think the each track is mixed with the previous and following tracks. Whatever is meant by this sentence needs to be rewritten to reflect reality.

''The songs reflected Madonna's thoughts on love, fame and religion, hence the title Confessions on a Dance Floor. It was the complete opposite direction from her previous studio effort American Life (2003). The songs on that album were a form of diatribe directed at the American society. However, Madonna decided to take a different direction with this album.''

The mentions within one paragraph to the fact that this album is a different/opposite "direction" from American Life, use similar wording. They also restate the same thought with almost the very same words. ;)

I think the paragraph would benefit from a rewrite to remove the repetition, but I leave that to someone else.

( I had forgotten how much I like this album. I recall adopting the song Jump a couple of years later as a sort of personal anthem when I decided to make a major change in my life. )
