Mariah Beats The King

Filed under: Madonna > Music Minute > Mariah Carey

You read it on PerezHilton.com first!

As we told you days ago….

Mariah Carey has broken records with her newest single, Touch My Body, which has just gone to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart.

The single marks Mooriah's 18th hit song to reach #1, surpassing Elvis Presley's previous record of 17 hits at #1. The only other performers she has left to beat out are the current record holders, The Beatles, with 20 hits at #1.

On the Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart, Touch My Body has netted a record-setting 285,000 debut, while also reaching over 115 million listeners on the Hot 100 Airplay.

Coming up for Mariah, is her new album, E=MC² which hits record stores on April 15th.

And then, like the talented Miss Dolly Parton, Mimi will be a musical mentor to the finalists on American Idol on April 16th. She will also appear on AI's second annual “IDOL Gives Back” two-hour tv special on April 9th.

Also breaking records this week is Madonna with her single 4 Minutes. Madonna has now surpassed Elvis Presley with the most Top 10s in the rock era, with 4 Minutes marking her 37th Top 10 hit.

Madonna's increase in the Hot 100 has been attributed to download sales, making her #2 on the Hot Digital Songs chart.

This is the first time since 2003, when the Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital sales, that the two titles debut simultaneously on the Hot Digital Songs with more than 200,000 downloads each.

America still loves the divas!

    whoops, you forgot to say that she beat madonna given that you've set them up in a rivalry! you must be gutted! madonna, justin and timbaland fan base and she still beats them! and why say the talented dolly parton as though Mariah isn't. how many times does she have to be the best before you get the message dumbo?!

    It took Mooriah 7 fucking weeks of radio airplay + a video to get 200,000 downloads when her digital single was released last week. It took Madonna only ONE week of radio airplay and no video to achieve the same when her digital single was released last week too. Madonna's video will air on April 4 and it is fucking awesome. And she's alerady at #3 on the HOT 100! And Mooroah's sales abroad are pathetic while Madonna's is #1 all around the world! Emancipation of Mimi sold 7 million worldwide with 1 milion outside the US. Confessions on a dance floor sold 9 million worldwide with 7 million outside the US! The one and only queen THAT RULES THE WORLD: MADONNA !!!

    PLEASE DON'T MENTION MARIAH (THE ICON) WITH MADONNA THE SLUT, IT AMAZES ME THAT YOU FOLKS, COMPARE A GRAMMY AWARD WINNING SONGWRITER, PERFORMER WITH AN INCREDIBLE GOD-GIVEN VOICE, WITH A SLUT WHO SLEPT HER WAY TO THE TOP. DISGUSTING. MADONNA WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS A TRAILER PARK SLUT WHO USED HER TITS TO SELL RECORDS. MARIAH WILL BE REMEMBERED AS AN INCREDIBLE VOCALIST AND SONGWRITER.

    Instead of bashing her why not just congratulate her and tell Mariah and her fans more power to her and good for her . I truly believe that this world got enough negativity and the last thing I want to do is to add more pain and sadness to the world
    Besides I find it more fulfilling to be nice than to be mean .

    as an american artist, why is it a bad thing for mariah to mostly sell in the united states? i mean, you'd expect people from your home territory to appreciate you more than the rest of the world, right? the fact madonna sells so little in the united states shouldn't be overlooked as she is an american artist as well. not that the rest of the world shouldn't be factored in…but…7 million albums with all the population minus america…isn't that kind of low as well? how many people are on the earth if you leave out americans? the math doesn't add up to a flattering ratio.
