In the absence of a physical single release, "Give It 2 Me" entered the
UK Singles Chart at number seventy-three onMay 4 ,2008 , and climbed to number sixty. [http://uk.launch.yahoo.com/c/uk/single_charts.html UK Music Charts | The Official UK Top 75 Singles: Week of Mon 26 May - Yahoo! Music UK ] ] OnJune 15 , it re-entered the UK Singles Chart at number thirty-six peaking at number seven and bounced up and down the top 40 in its chart run. InAustralia , the song debuted at number twenty-three onJuly 27 ,2008 ; it fell the following week to twenty-six and climbed one spot to twenty-five and did the same the following week, climbing one more spot to twenty-four. It fell the following week to thirty-one and after three weeks it fell completly off the chart. In theAustralian Physical Singles chart, "Give It 2 Me" charted much higher that the official Singles, charting number #8 on the Physical Chart.In the U.S., before its official release as a single, it debuted and peaked on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart at number fifty-seven, the highest debut of the week, and it dropped off the chart the following week; it did, however, return to the
Pop 100 chart after a five week absence. Upon its release to radio, it gained airplay on few pop radio stations, yet the single failed to re-chart on the Hot 100. The physical single is still among the top 10 on theHot 100 Singles Sales chart, hence limited airplay was the reason this single failed to re-chart. It topped the "Billboard"Hot Dance Airplay chart, extending Madonna's streak of having the most consecutive number-ones on this chart to six, and it made history by reaching the top spot in three weeks. She is now tied withRihanna for the most Dance Airplay hits. It also topped the "Billboard"Hot Dance Club Play chart and is her thirty-ninth number-one single on this chart, a record for an artist and nowhere close for anyone to break.In the US in mid August 2008, "Give It 2 Me" was paired w/ "4 Minutes" and both songs were released on a 7" record. Both 7"s are pressed on white vinyl and the discs are presented in a gatefold sleeve; each side of the sleeve is each of the songs official covers.
Before it was officially released in Canada, it debuted at number eight and became the week's highest debut. In Norway, the track reached number sixteen on the singles chart on downloads alone, before an official single release. [http://www.lista.vg.no/] It reached number six on the Italian singles chart on downloads alone and peaked at number three.
