Mariah Beats The King

Filed under: Madonna > Music Minute > Mariah Carey

You read it on PerezHilton.com first!

As we told you days ago….

Mariah Carey has broken records with her newest single, Touch My Body, which has just gone to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart.

The single marks Mooriah's 18th hit song to reach #1, surpassing Elvis Presley's previous record of 17 hits at #1. The only other performers she has left to beat out are the current record holders, The Beatles, with 20 hits at #1.

On the Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart, Touch My Body has netted a record-setting 285,000 debut, while also reaching over 115 million listeners on the Hot 100 Airplay.

Coming up for Mariah, is her new album, E=MC² which hits record stores on April 15th.

And then, like the talented Miss Dolly Parton, Mimi will be a musical mentor to the finalists on American Idol on April 16th. She will also appear on AI's second annual “IDOL Gives Back” two-hour tv special on April 9th.

Also breaking records this week is Madonna with her single 4 Minutes. Madonna has now surpassed Elvis Presley with the most Top 10s in the rock era, with 4 Minutes marking her 37th Top 10 hit.

Madonna's increase in the Hot 100 has been attributed to download sales, making her #2 on the Hot Digital Songs chart.

This is the first time since 2003, when the Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital sales, that the two titles debut simultaneously on the Hot Digital Songs with more than 200,000 downloads each.

America still loves the divas!

    REJOICE !! REJOICE!! Mariah is at #1 again..just as expected !! She is now the ONLY artist (not in a Group) to have more #1s THAN ANY OTHER ARTIST !!! and before you know it she will have 4 more #1s and beat the Beattles !! OLDONNA's fans are sooooooooooooooooo jeaolus and embarrassed..once again EGG on their face as Mariah has BEAT Madonna in terms of sales and airplay ONCE AGAIN. Want proof ?? Look at the freakin CHARTS Madge fanatics (aka LOSERs)// MC does not need to dress in a freaking Corsette or Lingerie to sell records (how pathetic and desperate for 50 something Vadgeonna to resort to this but then again this is nothing new for her)//MC has class and she could care less as far as the HATERS are concerned ~!!

    Mariah is the beneficiary of her record company breaking the law by using payola. This is well known within the music industry,but not talked about. Funny how this practice cannot be traced back to Madonna,Janet,Celine or Whiteny.If an ingestagation was done,her record company would be nailed.Resulting in,fines,penalties ect…. Even though she personally was not involved, she still bennfits.18 number one singles.People should not be rewarded for laws that have been broken.

    217

    Its sad this bitch Mariah is suddenly more popular than Elvis and The Beatles. Pathetic. So I guess the greats now are Elvis, Mariah, and The Beatles… eh yeah!

  18. Roadkilled LAMB says – reply to this

    Everyone knows that Carey's former husband (Tommy Mattola) had huge influence with pop radio stations when he was president of Sony music corporation. This resulted in payola (the practice of paying off radio stations to play artists songs) which is supposed to be illegal. Now that she is at Island Def Jam her friend L.A. Reid is doing the same thing. A couple of years ago Sony along with other record labels were caught and fined for payola. This proves that when Carey was with the label she benefited from the actions of her label. Now Island Def Jam must be investigated. The government should go after these people just like they're going after athletes for steroid use. It is cheating, plain and simple and Miss Carey should be exposed for the fraud she and her record labels are perpetrating. Back in the 1990s she was sued in court three times for plagiarism (sampling other people's music without their permission) which she settled out of court for an undisclosed sums. This also proves she is dishonest and she most likely knew about her record labels practice of paying radio stations to play her music.

    221

    MARIAH IS NOT THE BENEFICIARY OF PAYOLA OR ANY $0.99 CENT SINGLES SALES FROM THE 90'S..THAT IS ALL A BUNCH OF BULL CRAP INVENTED BY HATERS SUCHS AS MANDONNA'S INSECURE LOSER FANS !! IF PAYOLA WAS STILL IN PLACE HOW IS "TOUCH BY BODY" SITTING ATOP AT #1 ??! MORONS.MARIAH IS THE QUEEN AND UNDISPUTING BEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST WORLDWIDE OF ALL TIMES. ACCEPT IT !

  22. weaver says – reply to this


    222

    What's all this about payola? She was never implicated in any of that, AND if she somehow WAS involved, then chances are, so was Madonna, to continue the senseless comparison.

    Such hateful comments here, about both artists. People who continue to call Mariah fat- are you nuts? I guess you are unable to come up with anything better to say. Perez, shame on you for continuing to call her Mooriah, idiotic as well as insulting. Grow up.

    Thank God Madonna has Gay fans…usually gay people have money, Can afford a $350.00 concert ticket, can buy albums, expencive clothes like my $600.00 D&G glasses, are more educated and well traveled, plus we take care of our bodies and look better then most straight guys. Oh I forgot to metion we look better in drag then most ladies. Sorry for your ignorance but Mariah's camp is mostly gay but unfortunitly she has a white trash fan base who can not even afford a 100.00 ticket because they keep making kids, can't pay their bills or buy some LV luggage. If you have to look up LV I understand. You uneducated cunt.

    Your right Gay people do have taste which is probably why they like Madonna and she is the QUEEN

    Madonna=Dom Perignon…expensive, taste, better with age.

    Mariah=Asti Spumante…cheap, affordable, white trash

  30. WakTakTen says – reply to this


    230

    The music industry needs to better police itself against fraud, deception and illegal practices.Make sure that when records are broken it is done fair and square.Not through someone using PAYOLA, 99cent single sales, and a record company manipulating numbers,and deceving the public about the acatual number of sales.In the olympics,if someone won a gold medal and it was found out they cheated, they would be required to give the medal back and have their numbers erased.

    237

    Re: MIMI IS THE BEST – you know it is one thing to Idolize Mariah but to show everyone that you are nothing but an ignorant douche bag is another thing , I rest my case Mariah might be the best but her fans are truly ghetto and very uneducated trashy people , I don't think your Idol Mariah won't even agree with you calling out someone a fag or aids infested fag , you know why ???? because I'm sure a bunch of gay guys does her hair and make up , I'm not sure about her outfits though cos usually gay guys have a better taste picking up ensembles lol anyways I just don't think Mariah is as ignorant as her fans and you just proved my point . Grow the fuck up you ignorant bitch. :)
