The Divas Showdown: Canada Weighs In

Madonna's latest album, Hard Candy, had a great debut this week on the Canadian album charts.
According to the Nielsen SoundScan data, her Madgesty's single album reached the number one sales spot, selling over 58,000 records.
That's almost TRIPLE what Mariah's E=MC2 debuted to in Canada a few weeks ago.
Maybe if Mimi announces that she's pregnant, that will help her sales???

EVEN AT #1, MADONNA'S 1ST WEEK SALES NUMBERS WERE LOUSY!

hate this old bitch
i bought hard candy on itunes yesterday, and i wish i had saved my money!! the beats are good, but madonna's lyrics are EMBARRASING!!! "candy shop" sounds like a second grader came up with the rhymes. LAME!!!!
Long live Madonna!!!
Perez, you're such a dick. I wouldn't mind you slagging of Mariah so much if you didn't kiss her ass when you speak to her, like on the radio with Ryan Seacrest.
If you don't like her, just say you don't like her. But don't say you like her, then be a bitch about her.
And get your head out of Madonna's ass, it's getting boring!
Love her! Go Madge : )
She sucks
Stop hating on Mimi!
You are hyping up this alleged chart battle between her and Madonna - they are both talented artists in their own right and they are both promoting successful and wonderful albums!
im listening to her right now! love it!!!
FIRST!
Does anyone else see those MUMMY HANDS?!
perez the only showdown between vagonna and mooriah is in your mind because not other gossip blog seems to care.
I don't think you can even compare Madonna to Miriah Carey - Madonna is an icon & Miriah is making the same bubble gum crap she made 15 years ago
she sucks and I'm not too found on canada either.
Wow. Great for Madonna. I bought her album because of the new song 4 Minutes and I have to say it is absolutely fantastic! Far better than I expected and I was blown away!
Hey Mario,
Why must you keep looking elsewhere when you live in the United States. Mariah outshined Rag-Hag-Madge! Why not mention that or that Obama kicked Clinton's ass last night? You know why? Because each person you get behind have their ass handed to them. Why not root for the Lakers as well so that will give me hope!
LAST!!!
hope she is good
I hate that Mariah person. Stupid cunt. Who does she think she is fooling saying she has never had surgery. She's an idiot
wow big news…thanks perez…i really give a shit about these old bitches
My Girl! But please Queen, stop kissing girls half your age it's tacky and not shocking just stupid.
Umm… Check out those hands. I think I just threw up in my mouth…
I love Madonna!
Is it any wonder she's blowing me away? I mean come one have you heard my new CD? It stinks! She is just amazing. I should just drop out of the industry and become a school teacher, but I'm such a dumb whore I couldn't even do that. Someone please shoot me in the throat.
MADONNA'S NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING
I LOVE IT
Eww, what's up with her hands in this picture?! Sick!
no shit it did, im canadian and everyone thinks mariah is just another hoe dancig around on the screen, madonna is real. epic for all ages
I'm so sick of hearing about Madonna, Marriah and your constant use of the word "Diva." Gives a break sweatheart.
Madonna is a GODDESS!!!!

Still, the place on the planet to have a number #1 record is in the USA, and she hasn't done that in years. Pairing up with Justin and Timbaland is just a desperate attempt to stay "current" in the USA and it really hasn't been working. Madonna does not have the "Staying power" of Cher, for example … and she knows it. Remember that duet with Britney? Another disaster. Her Anti-Amercan attitude in the last few years has done her in over here. Oh well, I'm sure she has enough $$$ to go away quietly, but she's such a media-whore, she will probably end up looking like Joan Rivers soon in an attempt to stay young. She really needs to stop trying so hard and stop being such a rude biatch, like Cher once said of her……….. Madonna who??? Exactly.
Mariah's new CD is awesome! If she wasn't talented, she wouldn't have broken Elvis' record for the most songs to reach #1….a record that has stood for some 35+ years! That's talent!…But Nick Cannon? stupid move….
worse than avril
I am so tired of Perez talking about this Mariah/Madonna thing. First of all, they sing totally different music. One is 50, another is not. THey have different fan bases. I mean what is the point really?
HILARY GOT THAT ASS SPANKED LAST NIGHT!!
Re: Negrita –
Girl, Love ya, but the girl kissing thing was YEARS ago!
Time to move on.
Mariah is a local star AND MADONNA IS GLOBAL!
And Madonnas hands are the hands of somebody who works hard in her life & career…..SO WEAR THEM WITH PRIDE Bit.ch. (they only really look bad like this after she works out).
Is there any type of cosmetic hand surgery?
I have to say I do not understand how anyone can listen to Mariah Carey.every time her song comes on the radio or tv i shut it off.i cant stand her and have never liked one of her songs in my life..im not a die-hard madonna fan but if i had to choose definately madonna!
i dont give a damn. stop acting like we care about her because u do…they are both so out of fashion….they have fans, yes. But are they relevant to today's music scene? No!! Rap is not what it was either..pop isnt really about Madonna. It was. But critically she's irrelevant.
Mummy hands and a botched surgery face. Her lyrics are embarrassing.
DOOR/BEFORE/FLOOR/MORE = WHORE
WAIT/HESISTATE/LATE = OVERrate d.
You would think with all the years she has in the business her voice would improve instead of get worse. Her show at Roseland was a joke. Industry insiders were commenting on how bad it was afterwards.
Can we just drop this "battle" of the charts shit? I love you Perez, but, this Mariah vs. Madonna thing is getting really OLD…especially when they both don't even CARE about the other…DROP IT ALREADY!!!! GEEEZ.
madonna only sells records because of justin timberlake
HAHAHAHAH MADONNA IS THE REINA
Madonna's a better artist. She's better looking, and she's very entertaining. Mariah is so predictable. Same look and songs all the frikkin time.
Re: sally – Ever hear of "Confessions on a Dancefloor" number 1 on it'd debut. "Music" also debuted at 1 you dumb fucking cunt!
- Why Proactive doesn't work? View my Ebay listing for ACNE VANISH, a product that does what it promises
What happens next to Hillary is she loses to Obama because the superdelegates are moving to Obama. Give a Clinton a Cigar, i mean Microphone and they will mess up their lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! o'm a female and i def dont want her as my president. When the right female candidate comes along she will have my vote. But just electing one for the sake of her gender would mean I am stupid!! And we women are not Stupid!!!
One more thing, haters (and ignorant idiots)
The US is NOT the only place that it matters to be #1.
No wonder all of the other Countries hate us, it's because of people like YOU
who think the US is the only place that matters.
Why don't you all move to Texas and suck George Bush's Dick.
With all her $$$$$$$$$$$ can't this old fuck go dye her roots too. I'm so sick of this old fucking hag trying to act like she's still 20… fuck off you old hag. Why don't you promote your movie about Malawi instead of acting like an old pig…
Well, I know I didn't buy it. She GROSSES me out completely.
Perez this madonna worship makes u seem so out of touch. I thought u knew about music? First u botch up Fashion now music. And u rarely give us any gossip. Just asking us for our money and to hate Avril. starting to take a serious nosedive in my book
"Maybe if Mimi announces that she's pregnant, that will help her sales???"
yeah cuz it's done wonders for asslee
Re: Gus – GOD! NO SHIT!! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT NOTICED THOSE ARTHRITIC HUNKS OF BUTCHERED MEAT DANGELING OFF THE ENDS OF HER ARMS!! FUCK THAT IS SO GROSS!!
Her hands look 100 years old!
Time for some Laser Hand Rejuvenention- Madge.
CANADA LOVES MADONNA! Highest first-week sales of 2008 in Canada!
Ew. Gross hands
Madonna's Hard Candy has reached the #1 spot on Billboard - the album is the Madonna's seventh chart-topper, the second-most among all female artists with only Barbra Streisand beats Madonna with eight.
According to Nielsen SoundScan the album sold 280,000 to make #1.
Re: sally –
It's #1 right now dumbbass!

you really need to get madonna's dick outta your ass…they are both two diff kinds of music with diff fan bases…grow up and move on…we are all VERY VERY tired of hearing the same old shit!
What's up with those old, gnarled hands?
lambs (aka madge haters) –
+
just give it up for queen madge! mariah has got her accomplishments no doubt about it, but madonna is a legend…look at the facts! stop hatin'
YOU LOSERS ARE ATTACKING HER HANDS?! HAHA WHAT A WAY TO BRING SOMEONE DOWN…IT'S CALLED AGING AND I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU SILLY FUCKS IN YOUR LATE 40'S. SHE LOOKS AMAZING REGARDLESS OF YOUR PETTY REMARKS.
how did MANdonna do in the USA? oh thats right she got her ass handed to her by Mariah.. dont get me wrong i like MANdonna when she had some good music.. but lately girl needs to give it up
Madonna's latest album, Hard Candy,is no1 everywhere even japan.
MADONNA WILL OUTSELL MARIAH WORLDWIDE.
I don't think it will boost sales, but I have a feeling that announcement is forthcoming anyway. After all the interviews she's given recently about how she feels she'd have to be married before having a child… well, it would explain the spontaneous(ly nutty) marriage to nick cannon!
Britney's Blackout got better sales ,Britney the new queen of pop ? Is Madonna to old ?
Re: j-starra
If she was sooo talented, then why did she need a contest to break the Elvis record?
Why pay DJ's to spin your records?
Gimmicks are not talent & the sooner you lambs realize this the better off mentally Mariah & her fans will be.
OFFICIAL Billboard Figures for HARD CANDY'S # 1 DEBUT!
Madonna's "Hard Candy" album makes a sweet entrance at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 280,000, giving the diva her seventh chart-topper and the third biggest sales week of the year. A whopping 26% of the album's first week sales were downloads sold through digital retailers … Other high debuts this week come from Lyfe Jennings, the Roots, Def Leppard, Portishead, Mudcrutch and Tim McGraw … In Progress Reports, we've got news on Coldplay, James Otto and Weezer.
mariah sold almost double in the first week of her release in the US and then remained at the number one spot for the next week. 4 minutes isn't even number 1 on billboard. stop hating on mariah wtf is up with you. it's not a competition and if it was mariah won.
MADONNA IS QUEEN OF THE WORLD,MARIAH IS ONLY BIG IN US.
I looked both Madge's and Mimi's albums up on Wikipedia. Madonna's new c.d. has been number one in numerous countries, while Mariah's had 2 number ones, and that includes Canada.
GO MADONNA!!!
Re: Madonna makes Mariah sample established beats for #1 –
RIGHT ON. SAY LIKE IT IS.
Hard Candy is also No. 1 in UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Japan, Australia and many many more countries. But stop hating on Mariah. Mariah rules the U.S. and Madonna rules the rest of the world. Fact.
I AM IN CANADA AND I CAN SAY MARIAH CAREY IS A LOT POPULAR IN CANADA..HER ARENA TOURS ALWAYS SELL OUT HERE..SHE GETS A LOT MORE RADIO AIRPLAY THAN GRANNY VADGE SMADGE..I COULD GO ON AN ON..MIMI RULES..VADGE KISSES YOUNG POP STARTS ON STAGE TO GET ATTENTION..ENUFF SAID !!!!
Bitch is ugly!!!!!
Yuck!
She looks like a dinosaur.
By the way, nice plastic surgery, bitch!
OK GET OVER IT, Just face the fact that Mariah's sold more that Madonna's fuly man body, stop diggin up small ass sales from countries that no one cares about! YOur Mariah and Madonna comparisons get weaker and weaker as the weeks go on!
THE PERENNIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MARIAH CAREY AND MADONKEY IS THAT MARIAH CAREY, IN ADDITION TO OPENING BIG, WILL CONTINUE TO SELL BIG THROUGHOUT THE YEAR W. HER ALBUMS AND SINGLES ALL OVER THE WORLD WHEREAS GRANNY VADGE SMADGE WILL OPEN BIG AND THE JUST DISAPPEAR OFF THE CHARTS. END RESULT: AS ALWAYS MARIAH WILL OUTSELL OLDONNA BY MILLIONS AND BITCHSLAP HAGDONNA'S ATTENTION SEEKING ASS !!!
what the F is wrong with her right hand…daaaaaaammmnnnn wash those claws in botox sweety
Wow 58K? Mariah sold $485K in the US, while Vadge only sold $280K. Mariah ousold Vadge by over 200K!!!! That's 4 Times more than Vadge in Canada. OUCH!!!!
Even "Charmbracelet", Mimi's alleged "bomb", OUTSOLD "Hard Candy" in its first week.. SO sad. Vadge in DUNZO!
seriously i love the material girl but she is starting to look like a a tranny mess.
whoriah is nothing outside usa.
madonna will outsell mariah worldwide.
madonna is no1 everywhere even japan.
THE LAMBS HATE IT WHEN THEY REALISE THE FACT THAT MADONNA SELLS BETTER IN OTHER TERRITORIES APART FROM THE US WHERE SHE IS STILL NUMBER ONE. MADONNA IS THE QUEEN BITCHES!
Madonna looks 25. Except for her hands. She has taken great care of herself. Perfect!
Hard Candy is also No. 1 in UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Japan, Australia and many many more countries.
Perez you are so bias when you report about Madonna. Madonna's cd sold only 280,000 in the first week of release in the U.S., she might be number one but that's even less tha Britney Spears lastest album who did absolutely no promotion at all. That's also alot less than Mariah's lastest cd.
I used to be hardcore Mariah until E=MC2 and it is her worst material ever. It dont surprise me that Bye Bye has bombed. I even bought Madonna's album cos I like some of her old stuff and gotta say Hard Candy is much better than Mariah's and I've follwed Ms Carey since Vision of Love.
I am Canadian and everyone I know cannot stand Mariah. If I hear her song on the radio, I turn the station. She is such a tacky, arrogant pig and all she does is the scales in her songs. Blech! Madge has talent and has shown that! You don't stay on top of 20+ years by changing your hair and clothes! Oh wait a minute, Mariah is still dressing like its 1992!!!
Mariahs album has been number 1 in 4 countries so far, and thats based on her releasing the worst song from the album so watch when her new videos are released shes going straight to number 1.
Im not even american but I know america is the place to make it to number 1, because its a huge country. However a number 1 album doesnt mean huge sales anymore; i.e. some albums hve only sold 80k first week but make it to number 1.
Mariah's album sold nearly 500,000 copies in the states first week alone, so it deserves to be number 1!!!
whether they like madonna or not gotta respect her. she been keeping her shit together for over 25 years. show some respect people. xxx
WELL DONE MADONNA! THE WORLD LOVES YOU! AND THE REST OF THE WORLD THINKS MOORIAH IS A FAT OVERRATED TALENTLESS PIG. NO MATTER HOW MANY COPIES OF E=MC-SHIT ARE SOLD IT WILL NEVER MEASURE UP TO THE QUALITY OF MADONNA. MADONNA THE HIGHEST EARNING, BIGGEST SELLING, HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE. WE BOW TO YOU OUR QUEEN! WE LOVE YOU!
Ummm… last time i checked we dont live in damn Canada! so who gives a fuck how much MANdonna sold over there. She bombed in the US where Mariah reigns! Perez quit starting drama where none is needed! fuck go get some braces!
I've got news for you Perez. MADONNA LOVES MARIAH'S NEW ALBUM. SHE SAID SO IN AN INTERVIEW AND SHE LOVES EXERCISING TO TOUCH MY BODY. MADONNA DOESN'T NEED YOU TO TRASH MARIAH JUST TO MAKE HER LOOK BETTER. BOTH THESE WOMEN ARE INCREDIBLE AND THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS STAND ON ITS OWN.
To Sally from post 35…
you should be called Silly instead!
Madonnas Hard Candy ISSSSSSSS No 1 record in the states for your information. and its her 7th No 1 record in the usa, making her the 2nd female artist with that mark.
To all saying Madonnas hands look awful go and say hi to your mother, check out their hands and do whatever youre gonna do to the queen with them. how is that!?!? Easier uh!!
Madonna is the queen…. shes No 1 in 27 countries!!!!
How many No 1 the fat cow had!?!? 3!?!? 2!?!? or only the states!!?!?
sure… USA is full of lambs to buy her shit.
