New Madonna single 'worst-selling ever'

Rex Features

Madonna's latest single has become her worst-performing release ever.

'Miles Away', from the singer's album Hard Candy, has entered the UK chart at number 39, making it the least successful in her 24-year career.

The song is said to address her relationship with Guy Ritchie, which one lyric claiming: "I guess we're at our best when we're miles away."

Madonna's previous UK chart low was in 1996, when 'Oh Father' made it to number 16. 'Borderline' peaked at 56 in 1984, but a 1986 re-release saw it reach number two.
