Numbers for digital sales are certainly twice as much but can be as much as almost 5 times more than that.
We do have some April 2010 update from Billboard on some of her songs (but no True Blue songs there) that can give us an idea of her digital sales (https://www.billboard.com/articles/c...-about-madonna
Digital sales to-date, according to Nielsen SoundScan through the week ending April 25 (Madonna has sold a total 11.6 million digital songs in US until that date)
This was the week "Glee: the Music, the Power of Madonna" entered at No. 1 on Billboard Album Charts.

Billboard did say that besides the 165k sales for "Gime All Your Luvin" after Superbowl all her back tracks sold over 166k after the show representing a 44% growth: https://www.billboard.com/articles/n...st-sales-bumps
Her albums did grow 410% after superbowl (no specifics also).
Unfortunally they never specify her song sales individually and can't find any info about any of her older songs US digital song sales after 2010 which are still pretty old numbers. But the 44% in 2012 shows Madonna was still selling around 115k weekly digital songs of her older songs before the Superbowl (which ones were still selling well it's what I can't possible say).
