Mariah Hangs Up on the BBC!
Filed under: Anglophilia > Mariah CareyMimi, doing her best Madonna "I'm a Brit" impression, was on Radio One on Sunday….and she got her knickers in a bunch when the radio host inadvertently said she's only sold 80 million records. Only!
She countered the number is closer to 160 million and then the call was mysteriously DROPPED.
Diva!

By now it is clear that the U.S. invasion of Iraq was a terrible mistake. Nearly, 4,000 U.S. troops have been killed, and more than 58,000 have been wounded, injured, or fallen seriously ill. A further 7,300 troops have been wounded or injured or fallen seriously ill in Afghanistan. One hundred thousand U.S. soldiers have returned from the war suffering serious mental health disorders, a significant fraction of which will be chronic afflictions. Miserable though Saddam Hussein's regime was, life is actually worse for the Iraqi people now. The country's roads, schools, hospitals, homes and museums have been destroyed and its citizens have less access to electricity and water than before the war. Sectarian violence is rife. Iraq's chaos has made the country a magnet for terrorists of all stripes. The notion that invading Iraq would bring democracy and catalyze change in the Middle East now seems like a fantasy. When the full price of the war has been paid, trillions of dollars will have been added to our national debt. Invading Iraq has also driven up oil prices. In these and other ways, the war has weakened our economy. –The Trillion Dollar War, By Joseph E. Stiglitz (winner of Nobel Prize in Economics) and Linda J. Bilmes (READ IT!)

well not a great post…… i didnt hear her say "160" and i actually think its closer to "180"…..
Re: Ms. –
The UK doesn't love Jady Goody. Stupid twat.
mariah is stupid twat and needs a reality check, the fans are the ones who bought her records and they were the ones listening to the radio show, when she hangs up like she has better things to do, i hope her new album tanks and her fans don't support it!
MC did NOT sound MAD to me. And he was saying 80 Million is a POSITIVE way.
someone needs to sort this crazy woman out. i used to really like her when she first started out but then i personally think she is too full of her own importance. i mean everytime she goes on a show she is introduced as the biggest selling female recording artist etc there is no way the presenters just call her that, they are clearly told to say it. it's an insult to other artists (no not just madonna but the likes of barbra striensand etc) i do not know the facts and i doubt anyone on this site does but i'd take a guess that 80 million records sold is probably a close amount.
hilarity!!!
Re: …… –
Of course you picked the worst im not from the UK but they also had/have Shakespeare,The Beatles,Helen Mirren,Kate Winslet….
And The Times is one of the most famous newspaper in the world.
Stop insulting other nationalities it's stupid.Don't forget you're talking their language too.
On topic i think it was an accident.
She's so FUCKING ANNOYING Aaargh die you worthless bitch
Cool. That Reg is an untalented hack anyway. Useless TV presenter and even worse as a DJ.
Re: dfdfssdf –
fuck off the UK rules not that id expect a retarded american to have taste
Re: beth –
I'm british too and i think Miriaah sounds pathetic.
Britney sounds so cute when she does hers though!
I would so lovingly shove my purple candy sweet tongue deep intro Mariahs ass crack.I would lick her sphinster of all shiot.I love scat sooo much.I want mariah to drink a glass of curdled milk and then shit her loving sweet diarhhea into my mouth!!!!
160 MILLION IS RIGHT! BUT MADONNA HAS SOLD 200 MILLION! SO HOW THE FUCK IS MARIAH THE BEST SELLING FEMALE OF ALL TIME!!!!??? THIS IS WHY THIS COW IS A FUCKING LIAR THAT NEEDS TO DROP OFF THE PLANET! DUMB COW!!!
this dumb bitch really needs to stop, I hate her, her muaic sucks. and she is ONE ugly WOMAN.
he didn't say only, he said over. you need to listen a bit harder next time!!
That is tooo funny! He should have done his research then!
Re: carla –
It's sad you actually believe those stereotypes. And as for the UK being the land of Jade Goody, isn't America the land of George Bush? Isn't Germany the land of Hitler? There are unpopular people in every country, don't judge the nation by them.
GOOGLE SEARCH: MANGY MUFF ….
DOES A PICTURE OF THIS CUNT COME UP OR ALL SNATCH????
He said OVER, not ONLY.
He said OVER 80 million NOT only!!! Perez you need some listening lessons!
it sounds like he said "over" 80 million records…not "only" 80 million…so technically he was right. she did sell "over" 80 mil. she needs to chill.
the brit said "OVER 80 million records" and MC said no counter quote so….
Seriously - why do people even care about this cow?
Everyone knows Mariah has sold over 100mill… what rock has that dj been livivng under
Hahaha! that convo was funny, Shake N Bake baby!! LOL seriously tho i don't think she did that on purpose.. sounds like she was trying to put it on hold and the call got disconnected
mariah Carey is old news and tries WAY to hard to be sexy and a diva attitude is NOT sexy.
and it sounded like he said "over 80 million records" did it not?
That incident was reported incorrectly. Come on Perez, I thought you were all about getting to the truth! In that clip, the radio host never said "only", but his comment was instead complimentary. And Mariah never countered with 160 on that clip, but only said that she had to have someone check the number.
COME ON! I'm not a Mariah fan, but I defend true reporting!!
You do your thing mimi. Dont listen to what the haters say.
He said OVER not ONLY and she's a stupid bitch if she's gonna get all sensitive about it. She should've just laughed it off and said something like oh well it's actually (blank) million. What a damn bitch.
mariah i think was a asshole doin that.i think she can sing good but whne i saw her on the hill party thing on mtv she sucked she sucked soo bad that they had to personally get water and a spray!!!!!
he doesnt say only he says OVER.
Mariah is a a mentally handicapped person…. seriously.
You can like her or not… but everybody knows that!
THe DJ said OVER 80 million copies not ONLY!
PEREZ, I LUV U BUT U TALK SO MUCH SHIT ABOUT PEOPLE AND U NEVER SAY IT TO THEIR FACES. U HAD THE CHANCE TO CALL MARIAH "MIMOO" WHEN U WERE BOTH ON RYAN'S RADIO SHOW AND U DIDN'T. U COULD HAVE TOLD HER SHE IS NOT 12 AND SHE'S 38 AND NEEDS TO ACT LIKE IT. I KNOW SHE READS LOOKS AT YOUR SITE U SHOULD HAVE CONFRONTED HER WITH YOUR OPINIONS INSTEAD OF ACTING SO SHY.
You can not always denigrate mariah just because you are a madonna fan!!
how stupid you are
Even 80 million is a great record…How many american singer sold 80 million in uk? Just count it!!
The interview was pre recorded… Don't know what happened, must be mistaken, she wouldnt hang up for that I mean perez she had you on the phone and she didnt runaway, and everybody would if we hear such an ugly fat liar on phone… thats class mariah
he said 'over' lol not only ! - and im british ! i should know! lol ha ha what a diva

What a stupid bitch, it's still over 80mill why get your knickers in a twist over that, precocious c*nt I hope Leona clings onto Number 1 over that.

I find is HILARIOUS that the Mariah fans blast Madonna for working with hot artists when in this very interview Mariah starts talking about working with T-Pain and Young Jeezy.
Mariah totally knows how much she has sold worldwide, too. She has mentioned it in interviews in the past. Her playing coy did not work. Everyone knows she cares about sales and the charts. Remember when she wore the shirt that said "17" on it with a tiara after "Don't Forget About Us" hit #1.
And does anyone besides Mariah fans even remember that poor song?
Yup- over not only- geez y'all
Got love her! she's awsome
Lol that's actually kind of funny… You know she didn't mean it like that, anyways
MARIAH WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH NEXT WEEK
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
SHE WILL GO TO NO.1
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
AND POOR PEREZ AGEING CANDY SLAG WILL BE DETHRONED
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
THE FACT PEREZ CONTINUES TO TALK ABOUT MARIAH IS A SIGN THAT HE AND MADONNA RE THREATENED BY HER!
.
.
.
.
AND SO THEY SHOULD!
Mariah is the skank from hell and her face looks like shit!
I heard Mariah's new song has the remix now added to itunes…LOVE THAT, I'm gonna go download that.
some of the things people post here are just ignorant and ridiculous. People are very courageous sitting behind keyboards and monitors, aren't they.
And Perez, stop dogging Mariah for no reason. That goes for other idiots here that didn't even listen to the clip and talk shit, saying things like she needs to chill. She was totally chill in the interview, they were laughing, quoting movies etc.
Perez, you're such a douche. You made me listen to that entire long and tired interview to hear this supposed drama and you didn't even get it right! He said over 80 million, not the word "only" that you had to overemphasize. You're such an asshole. Thanks for waisting my time.
YOU CAN TELL THESE PPL WERE FUCKING WITH HER THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW AND WHEN THEY BASICALLY DEGRADE HER CAREER BY SAYING SOME INSULTING NUMBER I'D HANG UP ON THEM TOO!!!
Maybe he meant in pounds since double 80 is 160.
she is so annoying… and bland music too.
Mimooo!!!!!!!!
It sounded to me like the dj said "over 80 million." You report he says "only 80 million." I think that was misheard. I'm not a Mimi fan, but I def. think he said something different then you reported.
I think he said, "you sold OVER 80 mil", not ONLY 80 mil.
FYI, the English language originally came from German.
It cracks me up when the Brits think they're somehow superior because it's called "English." Lol
Get over yourselves.
what a stupid bitch
Then, there is her new digital single, errr, ummm, ahhh, oh yeah, Dive My Muff.
OH SNAP!!!! SPEAKING OF SNAPS I GOT A HOMOPHOBE REDNECK BAR CLOSED DOWN!!! THEY WERE MEAN TO ME SO I REPORTED THEM FOR SELLING DRUGS BEHIND THE BAR AND THEY LOST THEIR LIQUOR LICESNSE. I CALLED THEM TODAY DURING THEIR "FAREWELL" PARTY AND TOLD THEM…I'M TO BLAME….DAMN…..I NEVER HEARD SO MUCH ANGER!!! I CELEBRATED BY HAVING A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE AT A FOUR STAR HOTEL AND I ASKED THE HUNKY BARTENDER HOW HE KEEPS HIS BUTT SO ROUND!! TEE HEE. I CAR DANCED ON THE WAY HOME BLASTING BEYONCE. TO THE LEFT TO THE LEFT
.
.
.
LAURA FLYN BOYLES'S NEW NAME IS LAURA BUTT BOIL!!!!!!!!!
I'd hang up to! Geez!
He definitely said over. He probably just had old information and she didn't seem offended, but it is kind of funny.
omg…omg…omg, how many flippin' stories do I have to read on this site that are such BULLSH T!!!! You know they really should re-name this site.
HeroinCrackMeth.com. Because even though you know it's completely STUPID to do, you just keep coming back and reading this dumb shit!
jesus christ, if youre going to bother making an effort in England then at least be open to some misgivings, jesus. Hate Reggy anyway but for ANYONE 80 mil is a fucking insane amount. once again the americans feel they can pull the plug and run away as soon as the going gets tough. ah well. keep walking mimi, youve got a way to go
actually that didn't seem like she was angry or hung up. it almost seemed like she accidentally hung it up when she went to ask for a confirmation by whomever was nearby in the room. oh well.
Helloo is the world dumb or is it just you perez Darling??
Obviously she's just playing with the DJ, u know .. like a joke??
DUH
hahahahaha Omg that was funny!!! Go Mariah!!!
Re: tellall – HAVE YOU HEARD OF MARRIAGE TO GUY RITCHIE AND ESCAPE FROM GEORGE BUSH ADMINISTRATION WHOM SHE FAMOUSLY HATES AS BEING THE CAUSE OF HER MOVE TO LONDON??? TO GET A TITLE FROM THE QUEEN?? HOW CAN SHE? SHE IS AMERICAN AND AMERICANS CAN'T GET KNIGHTED> YOU STUPID FUCKER!!!!!
its sounds like she was moving to go ask some guy the answer, and she may have moved something and got disconnected.
she didnt sound angry.
Mariah is a fucking CUNT and this proves it…she really is a piece of work. You know, I know someone that works for her and he HATES this bitch. He says she hates every other female music star in the biz right now - she is the most jealous and competitive person ti turns her into a monster he said. The god thing about this, he is taking notes so he can write a book called "Mariah Dearest!!" Let's hope Mariah doesn't have children. Seriously, Mariah is not a nice person.
Re: MC~FAN –
Please loser MC fan, Mariah lies that she sold 200 million albums worldwide..it's a LIE!! 80 million is more like it;;the truth comes out!
EVERYONE KNOWS MARIAH HAS SOLD WELL OVER 170 MILLION ALBUMS WORLDWIDE & COUNTING !! THIS DUMBFUCK RADIO HOST FROM UK OBVIOUSLY IS AN INCOMPETENT GASBAG TO NOT HAVE DONE HIS RESEARCH.SERIOUSLY HOW HARD IT IS TO REMEMBER A NUMBER ? BRITISH PEOPLE ARE SO UPPITY & ANNOYING. THEN HE TRIED TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE MARIAH HUNG UP ON HIM ON THAT PRE RECORDED MANIPULATED SOUND BITE. WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT HE MUST BE GRANDMA MADGE FAN. MC HAS TOO MUCH CLASS TO HANG UP ON PEOPLE EVEN WHEN THEY ARE LOSERS. ALSO MC IS NOT OBSESSED W/ SALES NUMBERS LIKE MADONNA IS AND SHE DOES NOT HAVE AN EGO LIKE MANDONNA. HOWEVER WHEN U ARE SO OFF W/ UR NUMBERS U SHOULD STAND CORRECTED !! ALSO HAVING SOLD SO ANY ALBUMS TO SO MANY ENDEARING FANS WORLDWIDE SHE IS CLEARL THE BEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIME AND ALSO W/ MORE NUMBER ONES THAN ANY OTHER FEMALE ARTIST. ALL HER ALBUM SALES CAN BE VERIFIED UNLIKE THE FALSE CLAIMS MADE BY VADGEONN'A CAMP THAT SHE HAS SOLD OVER 200 MILLION ALBUMS. MY ASS !!
SHE IS JUST BITTER CAUSE UNLIKE MADONNA SHE IS NOTHING OUTSIDE THE USA! AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Mariah was not doing a Madonna impression, Perez, you fucktard.
he said over and she maid no mention of a number…
exciting photo. i also saw her photo put on the site called WealthyDater.com, really! is she want to find a rich man?
he said OVER 80 million, not ONLY 80 milllion!!!!!!!!! dumbassssss
jk i still luv u Perez :*
I am really irritated by most of the comments aimed at the Brits, we do not think we are superior, we do not have bad teeth, and we are very clean.
It's not our fault the only Brits to make it over in America….Amy Winehouse for instance, are the complete opposites to the majority of the Brits.
he says "OVER" LOUD AND CLEAR!
nice perez
once again u try to say something negative abt nothin at all!
classy perez classy
guess jus because madonna has lost to mariah this week for the no1 spot on billboard, u jus have to find an excuse to slag her eh?
Re: …… – Ohhhh, what?! I beg your pardon?! You're obviously from America so to quote Perez 'how do I put this delicately'…. you have no culture, a lottttttttt of you are very obese, your accents makes you sound so idiotic. I recently travelled the country and it proves that this tragic stereotype is infact true! At least our country has passion and intelligence, yours is tacky. Oh and your comedy is so ridiculously bad, like your version of The Office?! Bad bad bad. Plus we have free health care which is just as good and in some cases even better than yours! So, in conclusion, we may be lumbered with Jade goody, but you could say she fits the discription of an American, but with a dirty Essex accent.
Alright?!
[also I have perfectly straight, white teeth and wear deodorant everyday, and if our country is so bad why do your celebrities, at some point in their career, always try to perfect an English accent!]
peace! [no pun intended!]
x
She is as bright as a box of hair lol
thanks Perez , this has been the funniest thing Whoriah totally deserves it!!!!!!!! STOP thinking your a DIVA u sorry cow ass
extraordinary vocal talent but her attitude is disgraceful and she's not written any good music in years.
God knows why she sells so many albums.
she sounds like an old hag. i come from england and we certanly do NOT sound like that. stupid diva bitch!!!
Not a fan of her music - her pop is generally disposable frivolous current genre infused gravy train jumping mediocrity or worse..dreadful caterwaulic ballads, As you've probably guessed..i'm not a fan.. She seems nice though.
Re: …… – she was totally rude!!!!
I'm from the UK and the DJ should be rewarded for putting up with her ignorance!! Total diva and dried up bag!!
Mariah has old in excess of 220 MILLION records worldwide. SO 80 million is way off. I think there may have been technical difficulties but who cares it's about time she tells the UK where to go. Im sick of their negativity towards MIMI. It sucks being a UK lamb. Rock on Mimi.
Re: …… –
Hate to fuel the UK vs US war but…. you say things like that, and it just makes me upset for you sweetheart. Are you unhappy?
Fortunately, i like Americans, but you're one of the main reasons why many people don't.
(and by the way, it's football, not soccer.)
He said over but…Go Radio 1!!!
Sorry we Brits don't lick the arses of has beens like you Americans.
Most careers go from bottom to top shame her's is going the other way- it must hurt to admit that your ex was responsible for any credibility you ever had.
he said OVER 80 Million u idiot
Re: TryResearch –
I think you need to read your Wikipedia research in a little more depth and perhaps look up what Germanic means. No English person thinks they're more superior because our language is named after our country, even if it did originate there and is therefore aptly named. Get your facts straight before posting pathetic comments about things you clearly have no knowledge of. So get over YOURself you sad little Mariah Carey fan.
He said 'over' 80 million not 'only' get YOUR facts straight Perez
still number 1 on itunes,hater..touch my body video is also in first..xiz da shit perez….
oh god, mariah "darling" we dont say that in england.
but radio one is HOT, so she is forgiven.
her video is cringe.
Love me so MiMi!
I think you need to check your hearing. Not only did he say "Over" not "Only"…but she never "countered 160 million." She just went to check and didn't sound upset.
Can you stop the bullshit about Mariah?
