Her Madgesty Still Reigns Supreme!

Madonna keeps on blowing minds and breaking records!

In the September 26th issue of Billboard, Celebration has become Madonna's 40th number one single on the Hot Dance Club Play Chart.

That's more hit singles than any other artist in the history of the chart.

Amazing!!!

Congrats, Madge!

like her or hate her, madonna still cranks out the hits. it isn't esy for anyone to get a #1 on any chart, but it's unheard of to get 40 #1 on ANY chart. madonna has considerably more than the second and third ranked artists on this chart COMBINED, and more than double the second ranked artist.

Ask Billboard: Diva Dominance
Singles Sales
A major point to remember: sales data for Nielsen SoundScan dates to 1991. So, any singles released by Madonna and Houston in the '80s (or by Carey in 1990) only show sales since 1991 in SoundScan's database. We can only guess at the number of singles that Madonna's "Like a Virgin" and Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)," for example, actually sold while they were current hits in the '80s.

Still, the 18-year span of SoundScan data is a hefty sample size, and Madonna, Houston and Carey have all released material in that stretch.

Ultimately, all we can do is present the figures and explain as clearly as possible the parameters of each statistic cited.

With that in mind, here are the singles sales totals for each artist. Nielsen SoundScan separates totals for physical singles from digital tracks, so we'll present the sums of both configurations:

Physical singles:
17,172,000, Mariah Carey
14,744,000, Whitney Houston
10,554,000, Madonna

Digital tracks:
11,120,000, Mariah Carey
10,307,000, Madonna
3,320,000, Whitney Houston
Gary78 says – reply to this

34

Carey, thus, leads in both categories, while Houston has sold more physical (CD, cassette) singles than Madonna since 1991. Madonna, however, has moved a significantly higher number of digital tracks in that span than Houston, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That should not come as a surprise, as Madonna has been more prevalent on radio than Houston this decade, when digital sales overtook those of physical singles. (Since 2000, Madonna has logged nine top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 vs. Houston's two).

What are the biggest-selling hits for each artist?

Whitney Houston
Physical single: "I Will Always Love You," 4,591,000
Digital track: "I Will Always Love You," 575,000

Mariah Carey
Physical single: "One Sweet Day" (& Boyz II Men), 2,334,000
Digital track: "All I Want for Christmas Is You," 1,156,000

Madonna
Physical single: "Music," 1,136,000
Digital track: "4 Minutes" (featuring Justin Timberlake), 2,476,000

And, since all three artists are also currently charting with new singles, let's look at the digital sales of each title to date:

Mariah Carey, "Obsessed": 526,000
Madonna, "Celebration": 64,000
Whitney Houston, "I Look to You": 32,000
Gary78 says – reply to this

Billboard 200 - studio albums, soundtracks, holiday sets and greatest hits/remix collections (SoundScan 1991 to date)
Since 1991, Carey has released eight studio albums, one soundtrack, one holiday set and four greatest hits/remix collections (14 total).

Madonna's count stands as such: seven studio albums, two soundtracks and three greatest hits/remix collections (12 total).

And, Houston's: two studio albums, two soundtracks, one holiday set and one greatest hits/remix collections (six total).

Tallying the totals, here is the average sales number for each artist's Billboard 200 charted studio, soundtrack, holiday and greatest hits/remix efforts in the SoundScan era:

Whitney Houston: 3,308,000
Mariah Carey: 3,151,000
Madonna: 1,645,000

Here, Houston is tops - and averaging even 1.6 million in sales per album over almost two decades is no small feat for any artist. Among the three performers, Houston's "The Bodyguard" soundtrack is the only set to pass 10 million in sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan, since 1991. The album has sold 11,808,000 copies.

Latest U.S. SoundScan Album Figures
Celine Dion has sold an incredibly impressive 50,807,000 albums in the SoundScan era (just a tad shy of Carey's 51,837,000 in that span).

For a complete listing of the artists with the most units certified - according to the RIAA - please check out the RIAA's handy list. While Madonna, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston were the focus of most reader questions, Barbra Streisand leads the RIAA's rankings among women, with Madonna second, Carey third and Houston fourth. Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Reba McEntire, Britney Spears, Linda Ronstadt and Enya round out the top 10 among solo female artists. And, according to Nielsen SoundScan since 1991, Streisand, the RIAA's leading lady, has sold 20,334,000 albums.

According to Nielsen SoundScan - whose data begins in 1991, after the two stars had begun their careers - album sales since that year stand at 26,347,000 for Madonna and 23,786,000 for Houston (again, including soundtrack sets such as "The Bodyguard," which is officially considered a soundtrack to Nielsen SoundScan).

With Madonna and Houston having head starts in the '80s over Carey, who arrived with the release of her self-titled debut collection in 1990, how does the lattermost artist fare against the other two? Like last week, let's compare using figures from both the RIAA (where longevity gives a potential edge to Madonna and Houston) and Nielsen SoundScan, where a span of 1991 to date covers a period in which all three performers have actively released product.

The RIAA places Carey just one spot below Madonna, in 16th place among all artists with 62.5 million units certified. So, per the RIAA, it's Madonna (63.5 million), Carey (62.5) and Houston (54) in this comparison.

According to Nielsen SoundScan, Carey is the clear winner by a wide margin, actually topping the total album sales - again, since 1991 - of Madonna and Houston combined. Carey's sum stands at 51,833,000.

Say good-bye to Madonna making art.

Madonna is going to change the recording industry when she becomes part of Artist Nation. It may not be a good thing though. The model focuses mostly on how to maximize profit, charge more for tickets and mass merchandise everything. It doesnt focus on the music at all.

Like or not Madonna is getting older and she knows that. She is going to use the Artist Nation plan to cash in on all her work that she couldnt through warner bros. But at what price?
Artist Nation will be for Celebrities only and doeesnt give a damn about making good music and if you havent noticed, neither does Madonna.
Madonna will be the highest paid example of corporate music. Though I love what she has done, she is truly selling out..herself..and the music industry.

No, it hasn't. And the only reason it's on the hot 100 chart (it hasn't even done well on the R&B chart for Christ's sakes) is because Mariah BUYS radio play and whored herself out on her HUSBANDS TV show and she shamelessly plugs her stuff on his show. Despicable.

" And the only reason it's on the hot 100 chart (it hasn't even done well on the R&B chart for Christ's sakes) is because Mariah BUYS radio play"

Madonna is the most successful female artist of all time, over 200 million albums sold worldwide. She is even in the Guiness book of world records. And rightfully so, nobody, not pathetic Mariah, or Britney, or GooGoo, can come close to the Icon that is the one and only queen of pop, Madonna.

Of course she'd be #1 on the dance charts. That's the only type of music she's ever done in her career, save a few ballads and a couple of soundtracks. She's just changed it up a little bit, and adapted to the new trends in dance music, and made everyone think she "reinvented" herself. Call it 80s dance, techno, electronica, club, fake hip/hop, etc–it's all the same. I bet if she made a straight up rock album or an album of cool lounge tunes or something totally left field, some of you all would be like "I miss the old Madonna," because that's all you really know.

Whitney Houston Last Performance! Sang Yes, Jesus Loved Me The Night Before Her Death!

We have truly lost one of the greats today.

Whitney Houston has passed away at the age of 48, and although the cause of her death is currently unknown, she made an appearance last night at the Kelly Price & Friends Unplugged: For The Love of R&B Grammy Party at True Hollywood, and even took the stage to sing what sadly, ended up being her last public performance.

Listen to the icon's still-powerful rendition of Yes, Jesus Loves Me (above).

And we love you, too, Whitney. You will be deeply, deeply missed.

May you R.I.P.
