Madge Rulez

It feels like Christmas!

Madonna's new album, Hard Candy, drops TODAY, bbs!

And, in true Madonna style, she's already conquered a key area in the 'new' music business machine — digital sales.

Madge's 4 Minutes has become the second single ever to have digital sales exceeding one million units in five weeks. Rihanna's Umbrella was the first.

As of today, digital sales of 4 Minutes are l,004,482 units.

Mariah must be pissed!

      Madonna will crush her worldwide….in sales, talent, tours, and memoriblilia. Mariah fans are white trash who barely have money to pay their bills. Just like Confessions sold more then her last album worldwide and wasn't it Mariah who could not sell out concerts for 30.00 a ticket. LOL.

      Madonna is a DIVA. Mariah wants to be a DIVA. Sorry Marish but when this is all through….singles, tours, albums worldwide…Madonna is going to crush you and her record company will have millions more. Good luck in the U.S because we don't care about you any where else in the world.

      Lets be serious…Listen to both albums…Maraih's is not that good…sorry. Madonna's is one of her best albums ever. Mariah does not have a chance to sell more record's. People don't like her in the world. In the U.s people barely like her and are over her Diva attitude. Remember that one time last week when you lipsynched Touch My Body which is a God awful song. Your album sucks Mariah. Maybe you can re-release it 5 times to sell more you you did the last time. Cunt.

      Mariah's music sucks. She sold out to be "R&B/Hip Hop" and all of her music sounds the same. She has an amazing voice (even though she looks like a fat Cowardly Lion) but wastes it by singing ghetto shit music. Madonna all the way in my opinion.

      212

      Madonna has sold over a million coppies of 4 minutes and Mariah is about 700,000. Madonn's 4 minites is number one all over the world. Can someone please tell me how that song got to #1 in the U.S and Madonna's did not. The U.S are not trend setters anymore and am dissapointed. Look at fashion, food, wine, music, vodka. The best are not in the U.S and this just goes to show in music we are not either for letting that garbage be at #1.

      DID WE ALL FORGET THAT MARIAH'S SONG WENT #1 WITH NO HELP FROM ANY JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE OR TIMBERLAND? 4 MINUTES CANT EVEN ACCOMPLISH THIS WITH THREE ENTERTAINMENT HEAVY WEIGHTS!

    19. Madonna #1 itunes & Amazon says – reply to this


      219

      All of you HATERS need to get with the program. There was a lag on itunes, and Maddy's sales didn't show up until this afternoon. She's a #1 (deluxe version) and #9 (regular version) and #1 on Amazon.

      Oh and the reason '4 Minutes' can't get to number one (according to Billboard, who actually KNOW what they are talking about) is that radio play is about 60% (or more) of the equasion. The fact that Maddy got to #3 on sales ALONE, pretty much says it all. Madonna sells music and Mariah BUYS airplay. That's how Mariah gets to #1. Billboard is so out of touch with how the music industry works these days. No one listens to radio, they listen to their ipods. They need to get with the program and put Madonna at #1 for her single, where she belongs. C'mon, Mariah whored herself out to American Idol (and her buddy Randy Jackson helped her plug her album).
      Maddy doesn't need American Idol to get sales. She'll do it the good, old fashioned way, by EARNING it. Get over it HATERS, Madonna rules the world!

      Re: GRANNY
      Hey Granny, Are you going to sit there and try to tell me that
      Mariah has never had guest artists on her records and that none of them
      went to #1??? Boys 2 Men springs to mind, for one. Please, Mariah
      has been guesting with other artists for YEARS. This is the FIRST time Madonna has had guest artists on her album, so shut the fuck up.

      221

      Granny,
      Get real. Are you going to sit there and tell me that Mariah has never
      scored a number #1 by working with other artists???? Give me a fricking
      break. How about Boys 2 Men and the other artists Mariah worked with on
      her many albums. This is the FIRST time Madonna has had a guest on her record and released one of the songs (which was her record company's call, not hers…) with another artist on it. Shut the hell up.

    22. MC_ur the place to be says – reply to this


      222

      Madonna can have the biggest sales in the world, but she can't sing worth shit. I don't think Mariah gives a shit if Madonna sells better or whatever. a lot of the songs on Hard Candy sound straight out of a frickin video game.

      At the end of the day, Mariah is still the more respected artist (as a musician/songwriter/singer). Yes, Madonna is respected but more for being a performer. I know some of you will say Mariah's songs can be corny, but when Madonna rapped that "I take a Double Shot-ay, I drink a cafe latte…" you have to admit that was just pure silliness.

      I think it's sad how many people attack Madonna for her age, like that matters at all. Everyone gets old, people! I am not a huge Madonna fan but Hard Candy is her best album in many years and I wouldn't be surprised if she has at least a couple of more big hits from it, which I'm sure will drive the haters on here absolutely crazy.

      madonna's new music SUX SUX SUX. haha, is that what you call singing because on most of the songs it sounds like someone is strangling a goose. madonna, you've always sucked as a singer. you rarely sing live. and when you do you sound like garbage. getting inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame just proves how deep in the pockets you are of corporate america. go back to england with your crappy music where the "world" can enjoy you at number one. have you ever looked at britain's number one singles? NO FUCKING TASTE.

      When are you Mariah fans gonna get it?

      The Billboard Hot 100 is not based solely on sales. 49% radio, 49% sales and 2% votes. Yes, Mariah has more Billboard Hot 100 #1's, but more people actually BUY Madonna singles. Madonna has sold more singles and albums than Mariah and she has more #1 Albums than Mariah (which is based on sales). The Emancipation Of Mimi did very well, but Madonna has still sold 250 Million records worldwide. Mariah is not even close!

      Madonna is also much bigger around the world.

      Check the facts.

    48. Just the FACTS says – reply to this


      248

      Get your facts straight…When it comes to who has more money…

      Mariah has about $200 million…while Madge has about $350 million…the sad part is that a big chunk of Mariah's money came from her settlement after being FIRED from her last record label after Glitter!! LOL Also, Madge will easily go up to having Half a BILLION dollars from her LiveNation Deal next year…so mariah will NEVER catch up to Madonna moneywise. Let's clear that up right now.

      Also, 4 Minutes has definitively outsold Touch My Body in single sales OVERALL in the US and in the REST of the WORLD….and….YES, Mariah has fantastic AIRPLAY which is why she had another #1 song….but that doesn't mean anything…you could be #1 in airplay and #23 in sales and STILL be #1 on the HOT 100….all that means is that her record label has Clear Channel in their pocket…that's nothing new, it's all corporations…you're an idiot if you actually think that radio playlists are controlled by the people. Yes, you can request a song you HEAR to increase it's play in your area…BUT the shit they play for you has been preselected. If radio wasn't corporately owned neither Mariah NOR Madonna would be on the charts much, because ALL music, independent or not, would have an equal chance.

    49. Just the FACTS says – reply to this


      249

      Also, Madonna's airplay doesn't match her sales because her label Warner Bros. has more diversified interests (movies, etc.) so they don't really buy into the whole "indirectly buying artists' initial airplay"…they let the public speak for themselves with their own MONEY!!! So as it stands now Mariah will make about $180,000 from "Touch My Body" alone, but Madonna will make atleast $300,000 from "4 Minutes".

      Mariah gets her 18th #1?? GREAT! I like her too……I hope she gets 25 #1s and totally breaks the record because unfortunately for Mariah that's all she's gonna have. She's just a good singer/songwriter with not much else to offer….sorry to say but Mariah will NEVER be an icon like Elvis, Madonna, MJ, the Beatles, or even Marilyn Monroe…..so getting the most #1s is really the only way I see people remembering her in 60-70 years after she and madonna are dead. But this is also true of Celine and Whitney….neither of them will reach ICON status either…they will just be remembered as some women that used to sing really good.

      Mariah has maybe two good songs on her album. What a surprise, it sounds exactly like every other album she comes out with. Madonna's album is amazing..every song is good and it is allready #1 all over the world. Mariah went to #1 in the U.S only. People don't care about her anywhere else. Madonna will sell more singles, albums, memorabilia worldwide. I also hope Mariah goes on tour again this year, so I can laugh when she can't sell out big venues and Madonna beats her last tour and has the highest grossing tour again. Mariah, you can loose all the waight you want, pay radio to play your music, re-release your album 5 times to get more sales, but you can never beat the Queen.

      Face it, nothing memorable has really come out of this woman's body of work since the late 80's or early 90's. She was bad ass with attitude but she took it way too far and people got sick of it because the shock days were over in Hollywood. Yeah I get her personal life has changed and when that happens everything around you changes but her appeal is nothing like it used to be. She made it to the top and made a fortune so now she can record anything she wants and how she wants but the music is foregetable and vapid.

      I admire her will to keep going but blah, I'm more interested in my own evolution and life than watching or listening to someone else's. She does get points for artistry, marketing, etc. and puts on one hell of a show. I've seen her in concert twice and her live shows put her CD's to shame.

      She is a paradox in and of herself though. One interview she says she doesn't care what people think of her music or whether or not they like it then in the next she says she only wants to make music that people will listen to. Um conflict?
