Queen of the U.K.

Filed under: Madonna > Anglophilia > Music Minute

The Brits have made up their mind, and they prefer Madonna over Mariah!

The chart results were just announced and her Magesty's new album, Hard Candy, has topped the U.K. charts, coming in at #1.

Mim's E=MC2 only managed to get a #3 debut on the British album charts.

Additionally, Madonna's 4 Minutes is #1 for a 3rd week on the U.K. singles chart.

And, Hard Candy is taking the top spot in more than 25 countries as the numbers roll in!!!!

Congrats, M.

these crotch shots of her are gross . . . does she know any other poses?
me says – reply to this

24

Perez, why don't you ever say the good stuff about Mariah, like the fact that is was her best ever debut in the UK?
Why do you keep forcing this little feud between these two?
Mariah is much more talented, and Madonna is liked for different reasons!
Face it, they're both successful in their own ways!

Too bad she hasn't sold nearly as many albums, NOR charted w/her debut single as highly as Mariah has in the USA, where it counts!!!
jenna says – reply to this

27

I love both of them. Mariah is a deep R&B infused album, with great songs. Madge's is a sexy dance record, perfect for the clubs. The top albums of the summer. and i got both!
Guy Ritchie says – reply to this

28

Probably because she lives in the U.K.
Mariah lives in the U.S. and the U.S people have spoken too.. we prefer Mariah over Vadge (look at first week sales).

Besides is hip hop music even liked in the U.K? Are any artists of color praised in the U.K? Thats an unfair comparison.

Does anyoen actually CARE?
WTH
Madonna can't even SING. Her song? ANYONE could have sang it. Its like, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKES song, not HERS. They could get anyone to sing it better than her. She cant sing, write songs, play instruments… Shes just a broom with spagetti hair on top of it. At least Mariah actually can sing pretty well.. The Veronicas, on the other hand are 100x better than MADONA>

Carlos, your post was offensive says – reply to this

51

Re: Carlos Anino –
Hey Carlos, WHERE IT COUNTS??? I find that personally offensive.
As if the rest of the world doesn't matter except the US?? Get off your
republican, rednecked high horse and ACCEPT that the rest of the world counts just as much as the US. Face it, Madonna has more fans outside the US and album sales in the US are not the only ones that matter. Madonna rules the WORLD. AND she's going to knock Mimi's ass off the #1 spot next week. Oh by the way, how is 'Bye Bye' doing on the charts, oh wise one? Last time I checked it went from a measly #23 to #32. Shut the hell up.

Re: TrickSlut –
Oh, Trickslut. It must be awful, being so ignorant. LOL
You have no idea what you are talking about. It's common knowledge that Mariah is only popular in the US (where radio is all political and Mariah and
her contacts buy her airplay). Maddy has the rest of the world covered in terms of sales and #1's. Stop trying to act like you know something and pushing Mrs. Cannon (who has already cancelled her TV appearance on The View next week to sit home and boink her new husband) as a 'so-called' success outside the US. The rest of us KNOW better. Bye Bye now… (just like Mooiah's ill-fated 2nd single, down to #32 this week. booo hooooo, Lambs! LOL

YAY, MADONNA!!!!! says – reply to this

64

Yay, Madonna and thanks for posting, Perez!
Our girl is kicking ASS all over the world and will also dethrone
Mariah here in the US this week from the #1 slot. Who cares if she doesn't
sell as many albums here in the US? Her concerts do WAY better, so obviously we love her more live in concert than Mariah. Sorry Mariah fans, but "M" puts on a far superior show and outsells Mariah in concert sales. Numbers don't lie, lambs. Mariah can have her album sales, they don't make her nearly as much as concert ticket sales have made for Madonna.
CONGRATS again, 'M'! Can't wait to see your number #1 status in the US this coming week!

I am a huge Madonna fan but PLEASE STOP THE MADONNA VS. MARIAH ALREADY. TO ALL THE LAMBS, MADONNA SAID TO Z100 THAT SHE LIKES MARIAH'S NEW CD SO STOP THE BASHING. THERE IS NO FEUD. LET'S CELEBRATE BOTH WOMEN'S LATEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS INSTEAD OF TAKING TURNS PUTTING DOWN OUR IDOLS. THIS IS NO SURPRISE. MARIAH RULES THE U.S. AND MADONNA RULES THE REST OF THE WORLD. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT.

I sure don't like Madonna, but I have HAD it with Mariah. She's so talented. But why does she have to pay people (like Roger Friedman of Fox News) to hype her up while putting down her "competition." It is so unprofessional. That and her "marriage" to save her next single from flopping really is a turn-off. Mariah and Madge can both suck it.

since she's climbing the senior citizen ladder to cotton swab-ville she might want to sell this pic to Gynocologists.

Re: Guy Ritchie – dont go playing the race card, im a mixed race briton so i can say it like it is. the truth is that hip-hop and rnb have nerver taken off in the same way in the uk as they've done in the us, so its other people of colour who are recognised here, there are less black people in the uk, so obviously thers going to be less on the music scene there are many celebrated british artists/bands featuring people of colour: LEONA LEWIS, JAY SEAN, TAIO CRUZ, DAVID JORDAN, THE MAIN ONE IN BLOC PARTY
if you dont live here u cant exactly comment on it, the fact is mariah came back with a mediocre, mid-tempo tune whereas madonna did something very different, adrenaline fuelled and danceable
ok rant over
effrey says – reply to this

87

Perez, you should mention that Mariah's new single, Bye Bye, is going "bye bye" on the charts only after two weeks. It's a certified flop. And Mariah may have opened up with 470,00 albums in the US, but those numbers are falling VERY FAST. That is why Mariah "got married."

I purchased both. Madonna's album is not so sweet. Left a sour taste, BIG DISSAPOINTMENT on the other hand Mariah's was the perfect. All around a well balanced album, like fine wine with a perfect finish leaving me wanting to here Mariah's album more than her madjesty's sour taste of an album.

are u kidding??
i like madona, and i have 2 albums, but she can't sing for her life, while mariah was voted one of the best voices of all times… it doesn't matter who's sold more records.. it matters who really has talent and in this case, Mariah is the definite winner

it's understandable that M would make it to number 1 in the UK.

the UK has always been a bit more open to artists
that are willing to take a chance music wise.

american music charts have been stuck in the ghetto
for almost 20 years now.

that's why america's most popular chubby hood-rat ( pariah scarey )
usually does well over here in the new world ghetto.

the rest of the world has their finger on the pulse
of fresh and progressive music, sounds, and style…

while america has it's finger up it's own ass
both culturally…as well as musically.
