Mariah Fails in the U.K.

Filed under: Madonna > Anglophilia > Music Minute > Celebrity Feuds > Mariah Carey

madonnavsmimi__opt11.jpg

Despite spending a considerable amount of time there promoting E=MC2 and doing tons of interviews and chat shows, Mariah Carey's new CD has bombed in England.

The new album failed to meet expectations, underperforming and coming in at #3 this week.

Who beat out Mimi?

The Kooks, whose album came in at #1.

Meanwhile, Madonna has the #1 single in the U.K. now. 4 Minutes marks her 13th #1 single in Great Britain.

Congrats to Madge!

We're sure Mimoo will do better in America. We hope!

    I read that Mariah has acknowledged that Madonna is the superior performer and has even purchased a custom golden rim chair and sent it to Madonna as an offering of her subservience. Attached to the chair was a note from Mariah offering to become Madonna's personal and exclusive 24 hour on call toilet. There was even a "PS" which stated that "Spray shits were welcome!" No word if Madonna has excepted.

    Let's face facts. Mariah was an invention by the studios to suck as much cash from gullible lambs as fast as humanly possible that don't know (and never will) what real talent sounds like. She abandoned and slaughtered her lambs at City Walk. 9 year old girls waiting in line for 16 hours had to be heavily medicated after they found out Mariah had hung their wool out to dry. It wasn't pretty.

    LMAO…look at all the lambs getting their knickers in a twist…she'll be 40 in a couple of years and face the same US radio airplay as Janet, Celine and Madonna….opening UK week of 35,000 sold, for 'apparently' being the biggest selling female artist ever this is a big dissapointment, considering the promo she did in UK…

    How did bomb if it debuted at #3? I'm not exactly a fan of Mariah but i think this a bit harsh. If it failed to reach the top 20 then yeah, i would say it bombed or if it failed to chart at all then yeah it would have bombed but #3 is pretty good for a debut, anyone would think it had charted at #103 judging by this blog!

    And as for Madonna i can't bear to listen to that song because i hate Justin Timberlake so much. Mariah's song is way better anyway!

    211

    Okay, im not trying to be mean but do you really have any room to call Mariah, Mimoo? Shes a perfectly healthy, normal size. Sorry everyone can't be super thin. And dont get me started on Madonna because im still trying to figure out where that fake british accent came from…

  12. por says – reply to this


    212

    jesus, i really can't fuckin stand you, "perez"
    this is the last time i'll ever visit this disgusting hate-filled site.
    debuting at number 3 is a failure?
    well then i guess madonna failed in the U.S. as her single peaked at number 3 while mariah was at number ONE!
    eat shit, you fat fuck.

    214

    Re: jayman – I will take a wild guess and say that the alteration to her accent is because she lives in the Uk, with a British husband, has British in-laws and British staff…she has lived in UK for coming on a decade…and to me she still sounds american with a british twang

    215

    Madonna is a crusty old hag. She needs every electronic gizmo in the studio to make her sound remotely in tune. And '4 minutes' has only been a hit because of that poor man's Michael Jackson impersonator Dustbin Timberfake 'duetting' with her.

  22. Madonna makes Mariah bomb in the UK says – reply to this


    222

    Perez, If Mariah finds this sh.it on youtube…..yewwwwwwtube, she will hunt you down!
    While I wouldn't say that Mimi bombed in the UK, it does show how much of a local star she is. I mean, the way her fans make her out to be, you'd think she would've came in @ #1 in every country like Madonna does.
    But lets look on the bright side, Mariah still has Hello Kitty!

  23. Maddona still cant sing says – reply to this


    223

    Madonna is still crap, she only sells in the UK cus shes now pretending to be British when she aint with her crappy fake British accent.

    I live in the UK and over hear people like crappy music like Madonna, The Kooks, Leona etc. People listen to rubbish music in the UK thats why Madonna's song is number 1, not because it deserves to be but because of over promotion, the Kooks were also number 1 because students love them.

    Mariah's new song Bye Bye is amazing and that will be an international hit. The Voice still wins!

    MARIAH IS LOCAL TALENT SHOW… MADONNA IS INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR. MARIAH CANCELED HALF OF HER CONCERTS DUE TO POOR TICKETS SALES. MARIAH CAN'T TOUCH MADONNA AS AN ACTRESS (GOLDEN GLOBE FOR MADONNA) PERFORMER (RECORD BREAKING TOUR FOR MADONNA) PLUS WHO IS IN THE HALL OF FAME? MADONNA! NOT MARIAH. SHEESH I WISH SOMEONE WOULD SILENCE THESE LAMBS!! OR IS IT GOATS, CHICKENS AND PIGS??? FARM ANIMALS.

    Why did the Kooks beat Mariah and Madonna to the top spot? Because the others are old and passed their best. end of.

    Mariah´s album at number 3 is an amazing chart position, even when she had lot of promo. Kylie did the same amount of promoting in us and could not make it into the 150. You obviously hate Mariah and love Madonna. So now you mention Uk charts because madonna does better than Mariah there??? Uk market is pretty small Perez. Madonna´s Confessions sold 1.7 in the states and Mariah´s Emancipation 5.8 millions. Mariah was number 1 last week with Touch my body, Madonna could only manage to 3 and probably thanks to Justin. When did Madonna last got herself a Number one in the US? ( do not start mentioning number 1 at i-tunes, dance chart, etc, cause that does not count!… Madonna just gets the cheap number 1s!)

    Mariah Carey is an International Superstar and will debut this week in US w/ over half a million in first week sales..RECORD BREAKING !!! She is the BIGGEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST WORLDWIDE OF ALL TIMES !! She is a perennial HIT MAKER and has ALWAYS OUTSOLD MADONKEY !!! OLDONNA on the other hand is a complete HAS BEEN who has NEVER been as sucessful as MC//Mimi has actual talent and sing & write//Vadgeonna has to rely on scandals and still cant sell as she sucks ass !! I have listened to her LEAKED album Hard Candy and it is PURE CRAP and it well sell NO WHERE NEAR Mariah Carey's E=MC2 in the US, the UK or anywhere else around the world…Mimi's album is the BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR…Madges is the WORST !!!

    Re: Kat – its not minority artists its just hip-hop/rnb isnt the dominant music in the uk line it is in america, its mostly bands with minority artists doing nu rave, soul/funk or indie who get recognised in the uk (plain white t's, bloc party, david jordan)

  40. united says – reply to this


    240

    While it is by no means a failure for a CD to come at #3 i think it is also extremely stupid for some Americans to say things like "who cares about the UK or the world, the States is what matters the most"! I mean what an EGO! To disregard the entire world as "nobodies" and say the US is the only important music market in the world. I am talking about the moron who made comment #100 i think and calls himself LAMB (suitable name). Madonna, either you like her or not, is the #1 artist in the entire world, her new single is #1 in the entire world and all of her albums reach extremely high chart positions and many #1 around the world while Mariah only manages to do so in a 2-3 markets if she is lucky. I am really sorry, i don't like comparing the 2 cause they are very different artists but to keep bashing someone as important as Madonna just cause you Americans cannot listen to anything except R&B is foolish!

    Who gives a fuck what goes on the th UK? They can all go kiss their queen's ass and pay their tax money to keep her tea drinking raggedy ass in Buckingham. Watch when Obama wins 08' America will once again reclaim its superiority. As far as music goes America has the biggest market so it's all about who sells more in America, that is why foreign artists try to make it big here. Europe does not know good music. That is why they listen to Madonna. OBAMA 08'

    243

    How the hell is number 3 the a failure!? In England thats a really good position considering the charts are dominated by indie bands over here. Im sure Mariah is really happy with her highest album chart position since Butterfly, and she doesn't need a loser like you to tell her whats good and whats not.

    " UK

    I am amazed that people still think Madonna is good. She is overrated, over produced and over the hill. She hasn't said anything interesting or funny for years. She has never been able to sing and gets by on the freakiness of her malnourished, over-exercised body. She speaks in a fake London accent, looks like a drag queen and pretends to be an intellectual.

    AND NOBODY CARES ANYMORE in the UK except the audience at G.A.Y.
