The Divas Showdown: Canada Weighs In

Filed under: Canadialand > Madonna > Music Minute > Mariah Carey

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???

I feel like a jerk for buying Hard Candy. I heard all the chatter about it here and I hate it. It totally sucks donkey balls. Can I return a used cd? Or do I have to just chuck it?

No matter how you try to spin it, Madonna is OVER. Just the fact that the old hag is using YOU for publicity proves this. The fact that you're still desperately trying to keep her revelant makes you look foolish. It doesn't take an Einstein to see that she's nothing but a washed up, dried up loser who needs to retire.

WTF? IF MARIAH'S E=MC2 AND MADONNA RELEASED THEIR ALBUM ON THE SAME WEEK, MADONNA WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT IN THE DUST. MARIAH SOLD 200k MORE THAN MADONNA…SO WTF ARE U TALKING ABOUT, BITCHES?!

LOL

FACE IT, MARIAH SELLS MORE THAN MADONNA…EVER!

To all the dumb lambs who don't know that there is a world outside of the US: Mariah is just a LOCAL star. She is NOT popular outside of the US, and her album basically flopped in the rest of the world.
And when it comes down to worldwide sales, Madonna will kick Mariah's ass, as has always been the case.

Really, those lambs here are the dumbest people. And Perez, you should really do something about the multiple spamming.

no more competition says – reply to this

227

Why do you always have to pit people against others. Both of these ladies are extremely talented. So drop your stupid competition games…oh yeah..Mariah is also almost 20 years younger than Madonna so perhaps that has something to do with it as well.

QUE TAL PEREZ HILTON, TE ADMIRO POR TU AUDACIA Y SIEMPRE ABRO TU PAGINA TIENES BUENOS CHISMES Y ESO. MADONNA FUE UN SUCESO EN LOS 80 Y 90 PERO YA NO LO ES. SOLO VENDIO UN POCO CON EL BESO QUE LE PLANTO A BRITNEY Y CHRISTINA AGUILERA. A MI ME DA LO MISMO QUE SEAN GAYS O HETEROSEXUALES ESO NO TE HACE NI MEJOR NI PEOR PERSONA, PERO EN REALIDAD VENDIO MAS MARIAH CAREY CON E=MC2 Y ESTA MEJOR EL DISCO DE MARIAH TAMBIEN. POR OTRO LADO COMO SE LE OCURRE A MADONNA CANTAR CON JUSTIN? NO SE SI ESTAS ENTERADO PERO YO ADMIRO A BRITNEY DESDE SUS INICIOS Y VER EN LA DEPRE QUE HA ANDADO ES MUY FEO, CUALQUIERA PODRIA ESTAR EN SU LUGAR, PERO ALA GENTE LE GUSTA VER MAL A LOS DEMAS Y NOS AUTODESTRUIMOS Y NO SE VALE. IRONICAMENTE EL CD BLACKOUT DE BRITNEY VENDIO MAS QUE MADONNA CON HARDCANDY, BIEN SE VE LA MANO DE JUSTIN Y TIMBALAND. YNO ES JUSTO QUE EN PLENA DEPRE TU MAJESTAD MADONNA CANTE CON EL ENAMORADO DE BRITNEY NO LO ES. ME GUSTARIA QUE FUERAS MAS ECUANIME, A VECES ERES MUY ATINADO, AVECES NO. SALE BESOS. BYE.

God the fucking LAMBS are annoying and beyond stupid too boot! Do you REALLY think posting the same old lame-ass post fifty times in a row is gonna sway anybody to your side? Especially when you express yourself like an utter fucking moron with ZERO grasp of the english language. Tell me, Lambs. . . Can any of you fucking spell? Type? Conjugate even a simple verb properly? No? Guess not. FUCK ME! I had no idea Mariah's fan base was so riddled with not only the mentally defective but also all the fucking retards in the world as well. Talk about embarrassing. Hah, you all sound like english-as-a-fifth-language students. Pathetic. Mariah must be so proud.

Mariah Carey: E=MC2 1st week sales= 485,000

madonna: used to have good songs, uses sex to sell ,Thinks shes british, is a good performer and thats it Hard Candy Lackluster album

MARIAH CAREY: has 18 number ones, She is already a legend, 5 Octave Vocal Range, Nice funny Personality, Looks Great for Her Age, E=MC Good Album
