Madonna Hits Her Where It Hurts!

Filed under: Madonna > Music Minute > Celebrity Feuds > Mariah Carey

While Mimi may be winning the singles race, Madge has a strong advantage in the album fight!

Madonna's new record, Hard Candy, is currently sitting pretty at #3 on the iTunes album charts. And that's just based on pre-orders! The record doesn't even come out until the end of April.

Mariah's E=MC2 is only at #9 on the iTunes album charts, though.

This is gonna get interesting!

They will both be #1 for their time. But Mariah is a force (hello about to be 18 #1s), and Madonna has the help of the most commercial producer and wanna be R&B singer around- so who knows!

Still hope Mariah trumps the bitch!

Madonna MAY be old (whatever you wanna call it) but she still got it. She's always coming up with new ideas, sounds, comments, everything…That makes her so unique I think. Mariah is just plain boring. Always the same music that sucks ass, the same outfit, the same whiny voice….God! I mean, do we really have to discuss this who's the Queen?

Of course Mariah will be no 1 her single has been released to radio longer. Madonna will go to no 1 soon because her single was just released to radio like last week.

Madonna may have crazier fans when it comes to preordering….but the general public usually buys an album after it is released. Mariah has her beat. Lets face it, at this point in their careers, the general public would rather buy a mariah album than a madonna album.

Re#47 Haha - That's a good one. Actually her veiny fingers and hands may be due to the use of HGH human growth hormone and anabolic hormones. Can't say for sure. Of course Ms. Madonna is entitled to her medical privacy. But it makes you wonder, why keep hiding the hands.

Re: twinklinstarr99 – +

You stupid twat. Singles are released individually. Singles break in dance clubs, radio, word-of-mouth, etc. A strong run of singles can keep album sales alive for a longer time. Young people tend to favor the purchase of singles because they fit better with their lifestyle and budget.
+
Albums are a collection of "songs," which become "singles" only when they are released and promoted individually. Older people with typically higher incomes buy albums. They also tend to grow tired of all the songs in a shorter period, which hurts album sales - unless the album becomes a classic (which madonna has always failed to accomplish.)

PEREZ U ARE A DUMMY ! u are too stupid (not to mention an OOMPA LOOMPA) to realize that Hard Candy was made available online much much earlier than E=MC2 and that is why its is a few (only 6) steps above Mimi's album. Also Touch My Body is now #14 on Hot 100 and where is Madge's "4 minutes.." ??? No where to be found b/c it is a CRAPPY song from a CRAPPY album especially when compared to E=MC2.That says it all. When all is said is done Mimi will, AS ALWAYS, sell more than Vadgeonna !!! EAT CRAP Mimi Haters. Once again the Lambs win !!!@#$%^!!!

Madonna is so old for what she does. It is so sick to see woman her age looking like a total joke at times. Her looks for this album, hmmm, so ugly…Perez stop ass kissing.

Hey perez, too bad, Mimi's album being advertised on your website doesnt seem to be working no? That just goes to show that your site is not influential at all whatsoever and advertisers should take notice of that. You might have a lot of readers but they just come in for gossips, that proves that you are not influential in every way

I like them both, however Mariah beats Madge when it comes to singing, but Madge knows how to market herself, her image is always spot on. "4 Minutes" is a bit crap, in a club im sure it will get everyone on the dance floor, but i wouldnt wanna listen to it during the day. "Touch my body" is classic Mariah not exactly fresh but will sell.

you cant compare mariah carey, the biggest selling female artist of all time with madonna in terms about album sales perez, yes, if truly madonna is upnotch with this album, if it really is coz its too early to judge, see tehre albums are not commin out yet but my buttom line is mariah does stays in the top in terms of album sales. and hey tahts what i noticed, your always bias in terms of blogging mariah carey in your site, i mean 99 percent about your comment on her is all negative, but if were talkin about madonna you were like worshipping her like a god, wherein you see mariah carey is the greatest and more talernted taht any other artist emmerging in the music industry frm history upto now and tahts a fact perez. not just in the u.s. but the entire world.

MADONNA SETS RADIO RECORD IN CANADA

“4 Minutes” is the fastest single to hit #1 in Canadian radio history

For immediate release

Broadcast Data Services (BDS), the company that monitors airplay in North America has confirmed that “4 Minutes,” the first single from Madonna’s forthcoming album Hard Candy, has debuted at #1 on the Canadian CHR Audience chart. This marks the first time any single has entered at the top of either CHR chart in BDS history. “4 Minutes” was co-written by Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. Timberlake also co-produced the track with Timbaland and performs vocals with Madonna.

The song also entered the CHR spins chart at #5, only the second song ever to debut in the Top 10 on that chart. “4 Minutes” also entered the All Format Audience chart at #2, the highest debut in the chart’s history.

Hard Candy will be released in North America on Tuesday, April 29, 2008. The album features Justin Timberlake on multiple tracks and production by Pharrell Williams, Timbaland and Nate “Danja” Hills.

“4 Minutes” is currently the #1 selling single on iTunes while Hard Candy has the distinction of being the current best selling album on iTunes based strictly on pre-orders.

Re: 4minutes2fuckmadonna – I agree Madonna's crotch will be in front of all haters like you and there is not a damn thing you can do but to stare at it

if you look at how deep the pocket of her upper eyelid looks you can clearly see she's had an eye lift. there is not enough fat under her eyelid now to make a soft curve over he brow bone. its a dead give away for eye lift survivors! she, however, never looked as good as she does now, so who am i to say? she just doesn't look much like madonna anymore…our stars never die…they just replace their parts to death!

madonna is a GREAT ROLE MODEL for women
she teaches us that IMAGE not TALENT will get you SUCCESS

and in the other post you defend madonna's lower single sales on iTunes, quoting your "industry insider". so are the presale figures good or not? pick an argument and stay with it.

and there's no feud. two totally different people. stop being such a bitch about mariah. and i'm sure madonna would say the same thing too. she's got some class, unlike a certain bitter blogger.

you and your opinion about Madonna is as USELESS as you are and if I were you I will just move the fuck on and keep your POINTLESS OPINIONS to yourself .No one cares about you or your NAGGING here. You are simply an unwelcome TROLL here on Perez and no matter what you say about Madonna ,it doesn't matter because NO ONE CARES and lastly MOVE THE FUCK ON ,the 90's have been over so stop talking about the Sex book , Madonna moved on and so should you, it just makes you sound BITTER , JEALOUS and PATHETIC . Get off the computer and just enjoy your MISERABLE LIFE .

T says – reply to this

95

Love them both, but really, when was the last time Madonna outsold Mariah? Mariah did, what 5 or 7 million on the last record and Madonna did about a million. Mariah had 4 massive hit singles and Madonna had one modest one. To the previous albums, Mariah did about a million and a half on Charmbracelet while Madonna barely went gold with American Life. Does anyone REALLY REALLY think that coming off their last albums each, that Madonna has more momentum than MC? MC plays on nearly every radio format and sells well at all retailers, including the "big boxes" while Madonna fans are far more concentrated on different outlets like actual music shops and online. I'd bet Madonna has higher numbers for the length of the album at digital outlets but there is no question that where most albums are sold (Best Buy, Target, Wal Mart) Mariah will have a much bigger impact.
