Madge Rulez
Filed under: Madonna > Music Minute
It feels like Christmas!
Madonna's new album, Hard Candy, drops TODAY, bbs!
And, in true Madonna style, she's already conquered a key area in the 'new' music business machine — digital sales.
Madge's 4 Minutes has become the second single ever to have digital sales exceeding one million units in five weeks. Rihanna's Umbrella was the first.
As of today, digital sales of 4 Minutes are l,004,482 units.
Mariah must be pissed!

she looks like Joan Allen on a bad day
Madonna will crush her worldwide….in sales, talent, tours, and memoriblilia. Mariah fans are white trash who barely have money to pay their bills. Just like Confessions sold more then her last album worldwide and wasn't it Mariah who could not sell out concerts for 30.00 a ticket. LOL.
Madonna's new CD is fucking AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mariahs new stuff SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! Thats why its bombing in digital sales, Touch My Body is one of the worst songs ever. SHE SUCKS!! MADONNA RULES THE WORLD!!!
HARD CANDY IS SIMPLY AMAZING. (And I was skeptical.) Imagine what she will do next without Warner breathing down her neck! I can't wait!!!
Madonna is a DIVA. Mariah wants to be a DIVA. Sorry Marish but when this is all through….singles, tours, albums worldwide…Madonna is going to crush you and her record company will have millions more. Good luck in the U.S because we don't care about you any where else in the world.
oh my God, it's Shirley from Eastenders!
Lets be serious…Listen to both albums…Maraih's is not that good…sorry. Madonna's is one of her best albums ever. Mariah does not have a chance to sell more record's. People don't like her in the world. In the U.s people barely like her and are over her Diva attitude. Remember that one time last week when you lipsynched Touch My Body which is a God awful song. Your album sucks Mariah. Maybe you can re-release it 5 times to sell more you you did the last time. Cunt.
She looks like Rhonda (Leslie Easterbrook) from "Laverne and Shirley"!
i love madonna but this record is god awful,, i tried to get myself to like it and to buy it but im sorry im going to pass, this is the first record of madonna i didnt buy…. its not as bad as mariahs record both seem to be losing touch with it… madonna has forgotten she is the leader in this business everyone has copied her for 26 years now she is trying to rent a rapper like mariah has done from the start… kayne west??? give me a break
Mariah's music sucks. She sold out to be "R&B/Hip Hop" and all of her music sounds the same. She has an amazing voice (even though she looks like a fat Cowardly Lion) but wastes it by singing ghetto shit music. Madonna all the way in my opinion.
Madonna has sold over a million coppies of 4 minutes and Mariah is about 700,000. Madonn's 4 minites is number one all over the world. Can someone please tell me how that song got to #1 in the U.S and Madonna's did not. The U.S are not trend setters anymore and am dissapointed. Look at fashion, food, wine, music, vodka. The best are not in the U.S and this just goes to show in music we are not either for letting that garbage be at #1.
Hard Candy is one of the funnest party albums I have ever heard!!!!!!!!!! Keep doing it Madonna!
MC MC 4 life luv her she can shun me or 4get her words i'm not in her league AS 4 madge couldn't care less 4 the satan worshipper only used black magic 2 gain those sells. Mariah is on JESUS's and my team
I love it! cannot stop listening! I love you Madonna! And for all the whores talking shit, grow up! You obviously cannot realize talent when you here it! kudos to Pharrell and Timberland for their work too.
Re: areyoukidding – ur a looney if u think fat ass cow mariah has more money than madonna!!! all these comms are so fucking funny…mariah will never touvh madonna and for all the pple talkin about madonna's age..lets see mariah 10 yrs frm now wen she's 50 and see if she'll have a career with her delusions of being eternally 12..what a wacko!!!
Isn't she talking about her last 4 minutes? Is that why it sells so good?
DID WE ALL FORGET THAT MARIAH'S SONG WENT #1 WITH NO HELP FROM ANY JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE OR TIMBERLAND? 4 MINUTES CANT EVEN ACCOMPLISH THIS WITH THREE ENTERTAINMENT HEAVY WEIGHTS!
All of you HATERS need to get with the program. There was a lag on itunes, and Maddy's sales didn't show up until this afternoon. She's a #1 (deluxe version) and #9 (regular version) and #1 on Amazon.
Oh and the reason '4 Minutes' can't get to number one (according to Billboard, who actually KNOW what they are talking about) is that radio play is about 60% (or more) of the equasion. The fact that Maddy got to #3 on sales ALONE, pretty much says it all. Madonna sells music and Mariah BUYS airplay. That's how Mariah gets to #1. Billboard is so out of touch with how the music industry works these days. No one listens to radio, they listen to their ipods. They need to get with the program and put Madonna at #1 for her single, where she belongs. C'mon, Mariah whored herself out to American Idol (and her buddy Randy Jackson helped her plug her album).
Maddy doesn't need American Idol to get sales. She'll do it the good, old fashioned way, by EARNING it. Get over it HATERS, Madonna rules the world!
Re: GRANNY –
Hey Granny, Are you going to sit there and try to tell me that
Mariah has never had guest artists on her records and that none of them
went to #1??? Boys 2 Men springs to mind, for one. Please, Mariah
has been guesting with other artists for YEARS. This is the FIRST time Madonna has had guest artists on her album, so shut the fuck up.
Granny,
Get real. Are you going to sit there and tell me that Mariah has never
scored a number #1 by working with other artists???? Give me a fricking
break. How about Boys 2 Men and the other artists Mariah worked with on
her many albums. This is the FIRST time Madonna has had a guest on her record and released one of the songs (which was her record company's call, not hers…) with another artist on it. Shut the hell up.
Madonna can have the biggest sales in the world, but she can't sing worth shit. I don't think Mariah gives a shit if Madonna sells better or whatever. a lot of the songs on Hard Candy sound straight out of a frickin video game.
At the end of the day, Mariah is still the more respected artist (as a musician/songwriter/singer). Yes, Madonna is respected but more for being a performer. I know some of you will say Mariah's songs can be corny, but when Madonna rapped that "I take a Double Shot-ay, I drink a cafe latte…" you have to admit that was just pure silliness.
MARIAH has no reason to be pissed u FUCKTARD….she has ALWAYS sold more than Vadge//Mandonna cannot and will not sell as much as Mariah's album//AS ALWAYS Mariah will sell more as she has WAY MORE FANS than that Crypt Keeper….lets see if Vadge can come anywhere near Mimi's first week sales of over 463,000 in US alone…I THINK NOT !!!
FUCK MADONNA!!!!
I listened to the samples and they sounded blah
I'M GETTING ROBYN
Her CD sounds much better
Thanks, Perez for introducing me to Robin — LOVE HER!!!!!!!

I love Madonna, I bought Hard Candy this afternoon…I am disappointed by it & I think Pharrell's beats are weak on the album. But I do really like track 11.
Re: Manhattaniterbiter –
why are you angry? MADONNA ALSO BROKE ELVIS's RECORD THAT SAME WEEK IF YOU REMEMBER, LOOK IT UP, MADONNA IS ALSO IN THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME AND GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS FOR THE MOST $ EARNED WITH ANY TOUR(CONFESSIONS TOUR) LOOK IT UP, NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO CURSE AT SOMEONE!!!
GO MADONNA!!
I think it's sad how many people attack Madonna for her age, like that matters at all. Everyone gets old, people! I am not a huge Madonna fan but Hard Candy is her best album in many years and I wouldn't be surprised if she has at least a couple of more big hits from it, which I'm sure will drive the haters on here absolutely crazy.
She rules indeed. There's no room for haters
)
who cares? LMAO
BBS = British Broadcasting System?
She's sportin old lady body, ewww! The dipped out pelvis, squishy legs…looks like she has depends on under there too.
madonna's new music SUX SUX SUX. haha, is that what you call singing because on most of the songs it sounds like someone is strangling a goose. madonna, you've always sucked as a singer. you rarely sing live. and when you do you sound like garbage. getting inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame just proves how deep in the pockets you are of corporate america. go back to england with your crappy music where the "world" can enjoy you at number one. have you ever looked at britain's number one singles? NO FUCKING TASTE.
HATERS SUCK!!! Keep posting comments about someone you could supposedly care less about…you're totally *rolls eyes* fooling us.
MADONNA ROCKS & YOU BITCHES WISH YOU COULD BE 1/1000 as important as her. SUCK IT SUCKERS!!!
Time to dance babes!
.
I thought Gwen Stefani was FIRST digital sales exceeding one million units with Hollaback girl !!??

Re: dll –
yes bitch and thats because E=MC2 dropped a dozen days ago wich gives it more popularity and stuff… just wait one or two weeks and you'll tell me hows the iTunes chard ok?

MADGE IS THE QUEEN AND NO ONE'S GONNA EVER TAKE HER CROWN
hmm…someone seems to be biting off of peaches.
well lambs gess what ? lol looks like madonna is number one on US itunes albums charts hummmmm also check all the other contries she almost one all over the world charts for itunes . well gess she will be really kicking the shit out of poor mariah now lol E-mc Who? Madonna the one and only true Queen Give it to meeeeeee
ummmm dll madonna is number one on the itunes chart
When are you Mariah fans gonna get it?
The Billboard Hot 100 is not based solely on sales. 49% radio, 49% sales and 2% votes. Yes, Mariah has more Billboard Hot 100 #1's, but more people actually BUY Madonna singles. Madonna has sold more singles and albums than Mariah and she has more #1 Albums than Mariah (which is based on sales). The Emancipation Of Mimi did very well, but Madonna has still sold 250 Million records worldwide. Mariah is not even close!
Madonna is also much bigger around the world.
Check the facts.
Oh please, she is totally copying Goldfrapp in this pic.
AND WHAT??? T'S NOT EVEN THAT GREAT/GOOD

God, I can't stand this arrogant skank!!! I wish she would FUCK OFF because I think having to tolerate hearing and looking at this bitch for 25+ years is waaaaay more than I need. Please, don't buy her cd or watch her vids or encourage her in any way!!!
The new album is AMAZING!!!! Madonna is GOD!!!!!
Get your facts straight…When it comes to who has more money…
Mariah has about $200 million…while Madge has about $350 million…the sad part is that a big chunk of Mariah's money came from her settlement after being FIRED from her last record label after Glitter!! LOL Also, Madge will easily go up to having Half a BILLION dollars from her LiveNation Deal next year…so mariah will NEVER catch up to Madonna moneywise. Let's clear that up right now.
Also, 4 Minutes has definitively outsold Touch My Body in single sales OVERALL in the US and in the REST of the WORLD….and….YES, Mariah has fantastic AIRPLAY which is why she had another #1 song….but that doesn't mean anything…you could be #1 in airplay and #23 in sales and STILL be #1 on the HOT 100….all that means is that her record label has Clear Channel in their pocket…that's nothing new, it's all corporations…you're an idiot if you actually think that radio playlists are controlled by the people. Yes, you can request a song you HEAR to increase it's play in your area…BUT the shit they play for you has been preselected. If radio wasn't corporately owned neither Mariah NOR Madonna would be on the charts much, because ALL music, independent or not, would have an equal chance.
Also, Madonna's airplay doesn't match her sales because her label Warner Bros. has more diversified interests (movies, etc.) so they don't really buy into the whole "indirectly buying artists' initial airplay"…they let the public speak for themselves with their own MONEY!!! So as it stands now Mariah will make about $180,000 from "Touch My Body" alone, but Madonna will make atleast $300,000 from "4 Minutes".
Mariah gets her 18th #1?? GREAT! I like her too……I hope she gets 25 #1s and totally breaks the record because unfortunately for Mariah that's all she's gonna have. She's just a good singer/songwriter with not much else to offer….sorry to say but Mariah will NEVER be an icon like Elvis, Madonna, MJ, the Beatles, or even Marilyn Monroe…..so getting the most #1s is really the only way I see people remembering her in 60-70 years after she and madonna are dead. But this is also true of Celine and Whitney….neither of them will reach ICON status either…they will just be remembered as some women that used to sing really good.
The Queen ? Queen of bad taste ? I think people can be original without being unapropriate. Queen, you have two legs. One is on your right side, the other the left side. Now, try to keep them together when you sit on a chair, lady !
She wants to save the world ? She should start to not put her voice and face in. Too much of a good thing became a bad thing. Too much sugar in the candy (books, films, scandals, music, etc, me, me, me, me, me, me, only me).
This album is a joke. Don't buy that. Your brain will not sign tick-tock but nut-nut.
Madonna is boring. She should get fat and stay at home with her baby boy now instead of making a fool of her 50-year-old-self! The world is over her, perhaps she should join us!
MADONNA'S NEW CD IS EXCELLENT!!! BEST ALBUM OF 2008!! MARIAH WHO??
madonna is the best artist on earth.shes an icon .mariah never will be an icon.a legend.sorry.madonna news album is so good,everybody is dancing and loves the album.mariah is crap.she is so ugly.looks like a fucking plastic doll
ughhhh… mimi is a psycho closeted lesbo diva…. MADONNAS #1…
Re: True Queen of London – Reply to #255
LMFAO! Thats exactly typical moomoo
fan - JEALOUSY!! Madonna has a smokin hot body even at age 50 and your much photoshopped moomoo is demented, once obese yet still fat. Waawaawaa
i just cannot get over how bad this picture is……i can't believe she used this picture….skinny legs wide open……bad 80's hairdo…….what the fuck……
wow! a million units in five weeks! great! but where's the number one single and album?? ooops! she doesn't have one! u suck perez! go and kill yourself! much good that would do for mankind!
yes yes madonna is the best and fuck the rest.madonna is number one in the world.always.number one in europe fuckers.
yes yes madonna is the best and fuck the rest.madonna is number one in the world.always.number one in europe fuckers. and lets talk serious madonna is so fucking hot.i wonder if i could be her husband.
Mariah has maybe two good songs on her album. What a surprise, it sounds exactly like every other album she comes out with. Madonna's album is amazing..every song is good and it is allready #1 all over the world. Mariah went to #1 in the U.S only. People don't care about her anywhere else. Madonna will sell more singles, albums, memorabilia worldwide. I also hope Mariah goes on tour again this year, so I can laugh when she can't sell out big venues and Madonna beats her last tour and has the highest grossing tour again. Mariah, you can loose all the waight you want, pay radio to play your music, re-release your album 5 times to get more sales, but you can never beat the Queen.
i love hard candy!!!!!!! this album rocks! people say she changed but not at all. if anything i think the album is ver old school madonna. it has an 80's/ club retro feel with a splash of some hip hop. it's a great dance record. to me it sounds like she is going back to her roots with her first album "madonna".
Face it, nothing memorable has really come out of this woman's body of work since the late 80's or early 90's. She was bad ass with attitude but she took it way too far and people got sick of it because the shock days were over in Hollywood. Yeah I get her personal life has changed and when that happens everything around you changes but her appeal is nothing like it used to be. She made it to the top and made a fortune so now she can record anything she wants and how she wants but the music is foregetable and vapid.
I admire her will to keep going but blah, I'm more interested in my own evolution and life than watching or listening to someone else's. She does get points for artistry, marketing, etc. and puts on one hell of a show. I've seen her in concert twice and her live shows put her CD's to shame.
She is a paradox in and of herself though. One interview she says she doesn't care what people think of her music or whether or not they like it then in the next she says she only wants to make music that people will listen to. Um conflict?
Mariah is surely pissed, probably because her single didn't stau longer at #1, not because od Madonna.
Madonna's fans are so fuckin jealous of Maria's success.
Get over it!
Re: Lisa – This probably comes from someone who can't distinguish good from bad…
2 good songs?
Clean up ur fuckin ears
Re: James – Not true. Mariah sucks too. She's a sell out too. And talk about vapid music.
MADONNA HAS MORE MONEY THAN MARIAH…FYI, SHE TOPPED FORBES LIST OF THE RICHEST ARTISTS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. LAST YEAR…BEAT THAT! AND MARIAH'S CONCERT EARNINGS ARE NOWHERE NEAR MADONNA'S…MADONNA WILL AND ALWAYS REIGN SUPREME
madonna rules and is the best at her game the best she slaps mariah down there is no one better then her no one lets see mariah do as well as madonna are be as talented as long as madonna
More more more! Madonna will rule this year's charts!
