Guest marsha Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I just can't fathom why anyone cares. The Mariah v. Madonna crap seems like such an utter waste of time and energy. it's a game (hope the real psycho are very rare). every huge star needs them nemesis. rivalry is funny, if it's not at first degree only. nothing new (Stones/Beattles- Oasis/Blur). no good movie without a great vilain. I respect mariah, don't like her music but respect her success and longevity. that said, the competition is entertaining . Madonna and Mariah are so differents. their rivalry is one the greatest. even if it's not written, can read "That's all, folks!" at the end of posts.sometimes we're overdo about that for sure.

Exactly! Very well said. Alexz Jay- I know you like Meeriah but its all just fun. And Madonna has gotten clobbered so hard over the years while Mariah, her vapid lil self, was hardly ever touched. The lambs then came after Madonna so naturally Madonna fans lash back. Personally, why anyone would mess with Madonna fans is beyond me. Talk about some viscious peeps!

Guest timothy Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 You guys think Mimi will release E=MC2 Ultra Platinum Edition like she did with TEOM? That was soooooo underhanded and unfair. Made people buy another copy just for the one song. I bet that shifted two million extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 You guys are criticizing people for buying multiple copies of Mariah's album? But haven't you all been shouting BUY BUY BUY telling people to buy multiple copies of 4 Minutes? And to barrage radio stations you never listen to with requests? Hypocrisy much? I wish everybody would just buy something only if they want it, and request at a local station if they want to hear it, and then otherwise just lay off. it's LAME as hell really... people on here talked about buying multiple copies of COAD but balk at the thought of a person buying multiple copies of Mariah's album *and really any of us can make up a story of seeing someone buying 200 copies of any album and nobody can prove it true or not* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madonna-Greece Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Mariah sold 475,607 - Nice. Madonna won't achieve this. Given the perfomance of Touch My Body it is obvious that although Mariblah's new album may have a bigger opening than Madonna's, in the end it will sell much less than HARD CANDY. Just like 4 Minutes is creaming saleswise Mariblah's #1 single! So why are you so happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Love = 182k + 98M = 280M 3. No Air = 135k + 124M = 259M 4. Love In This Club = 109k + 144M = 253M 5. 4 Minutes = 201k + 46M = 247M 6. Touch My Body = 118k + 124M = 242M 7. Sexy Can I = 120k + 120M = 240M shit, 4 MINUTES could've had 4 consecutive weeks at 200k had there been extra 2000 copies downloaded last week... UGH... still great I hope & pray that songs from 2-7 except 4 Minutes, continue to decline, there's a small window... and thanks to the Remixes that helped her buck the trend of general decline....

Guest FrozenLight Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I bet she will be able to pull a 4th week of 200K +.....not this week but the week after. I think this week she will sell around 185K and the week after (which would be the album's release week). Because 4M single sales have been very high for the past 4 weeks I don't think M will be able to sell 260K but I bet she'll manage a good 210 to 230K between 29Apr and 6May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigham Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Billboard.com: Mariah Debuts At No. 1 After Monster First Week April 23, 2008, 11:05 AM ET by Katie Hasty, N.Y. Mariah Carey earns her sixth No. 1 on The Billboard 200 as her "E=MC2" bows on top. The Island Def Jam set moved 463,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, making it the diva's biggest sales week ever. It's also the highest sales week of the year, surpassing the 375,000 start of Jack Johnson's "Sleep Through the Static" in February. Carey's last album, "The Emancipation of Mimi," also landed at No. 1 in its premiere week, moving 404,000. She is now tied with Madonna and Janet Jackson for the second most No. 1 albums among female artists. Only queen bee Barbra Streisand, with eight, is ahead of the pack. There's a good chance Madonna will add another No. 1 to her tally though, as her "Hard Candy" album drops next Tuesday (April 29). Leona Lewis' Syco/J effort "Spirit" slips 1-2 with 95,000 units, a 54% sales decrease. Miley Cyrus' "Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: The Best of Both Worlds Concert" Hollywood/Disney album vaults from No. 31 to a new peak of No. 3 with 47,000 -- a 162% gain. The set became available to all music sellers last week after having spent its first five weeks of release as a Wal-Mart exclusive. New country group Lady Antebellum charges in at No. 4 on The Billboard 200 with its self-titled Capitol Nashville debut, shifting 43,000. Sales were fueled by the single "Love Don't Live Here," which sits at its current peak at No. 11 on the Hot Country Songs tally this week. The multi-label "NOW 27" compilation slips 4-5 with 39,000 (-17%), as George Strait's "Troubadour" (MCA Nashville) falls 2-6 with 38,000 (-35%). The Fox/Razor & Tie soundtrack to "Alvin and the Chipmunks" likewise descends 6-7 with a 20% sales hit to 32,000. Another soundtrack, "Juno" (Rhino), climbs back into the top tier 46-8 in conjunction with the film's DVD release; the album moved 31,000 copies with a 162% sales increase. With 30,000 and a 35% sales reduction, R.E.M.'s Warner Bros. set "Accelerate" falls 5-9. Taylor Swift's self-titled Big Machine set rounds out the top 10, ascending 13-10 with a 13% sales boost to 29,000. After Carey, rock troupe Thrice has the next biggest debut this week at No. 17 with "The Alchemy Index, Vol. 3 & 4: Air & Earth" (Vagrant), selling 21,000 units. With only a few hundred fewer, Rush's double-disc Atlantic set "Snakes & Arrows: Live" starts right behind at No. 18, also with 21,000. Other debuts this week include metal outfit Children Of Bodom's "Blooddrunk" (Fontana/Universal, No. 22, 19,000), Nickelodeon duo the Naked Brothers Band's "I Don't Want to Go to School" (No. 23, 19,000) and Tristan Prettyman's "Hello" (Virgin, No. 27, 18,000). Sales this week are up 1.9% from last week's sales at 7.5 million units. Sales are down 8.1% compared to the same week last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
