Mimi Smacks Down Madge

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

madonna.gif

She's down, but she's not out!

Last week, Madge was on top. This week? Mimi has knocked her down!

Mariah Carey is winning the battle with Madonna.

The numbers are in and Madge's Hard Candy has dropped from its #1 spot debut to #5 in the U.S. album charts in just one week.

Whereas Carey's E=MC2, in its 4th week of release, comes in 4 for the week, despite being out much longer than Hard Candy.

Mimi sold 8,000 more units than Madge this week!

Now, the important part - money talk!

Madonna's first weak sales totaled 280k and week 2 brought in 81k for a two week grand total of 361K.

Yikes!!!

Madonna's drop from week one to week two is 71%!

Mariah Carey's take for week one ALONE of E=MC2 was 463K.

Mimi's first week of sales totally beats Madge's 2 week total by a little over 100K. And she's still selling more than the Queen of Pop.

Carey is on her second single, already, though.

Time for Madonna to Give It 2 Me!

    Re: E – I totally agree with E. And before people start screaming at me, I'm not American—I'm British. But I live in the US and I have to say that America is really where it's at. Yes there are other countries. But say you are trying to make it big and you live in the UK or Australia…where do you go to become a star? The US. Everyone does. Back to the Beatles. If you are English and want to hit it big you don't go to France, or Asia, or Australia to become famous…you come to the US. WHY? Because it's the most important market????? ;)

    Anyone that can be so anti american, like some comments I've read, must just be a pessimistic hater in real life. I mean it's beautiful here. If you haven't been here then don't judge us. Don't put all Americans in one group. There are stupid people everywhere, no matter what country you live in–yes, even yours.

    Madonna only got where she was in the beginning of her career from being so controversial. Mariah got her beginning by being innocent and sweet…..and by actually singing. Madonna sounds like crap as a singer. Hard Candy is HORRIBLE. She sold out. TOTAL. SELL. OUT.

    I cannot believe how bad Madonna has fucked up.
    From an ugly cd cover to ugly costumes and hairdo's for this dreadful cd.
    The producer's she used to USING JT. This has been one miscalculation after the next. No wonder the cd is tanking. Her voice sound Dreadful. Her voice is actually getting worse when it was never very good to begin with. And she is doing the moves we've seen all too many times but now she is a grandma. This is not pretty.
    I'm glad people are seeing her for the greedy pig she is.
    She actually made herself look older not younger with her botched face lift and implants. I am completely shocked that Madonna has totally fucked this all up.
    Hopefully it is a menopause crisis situation.

  5. Madonna Makes Mariah Mentally Unstable says – reply to this


    205

    CALM DOWN PEOPLE, IT'S NOT REALLY THAT BAD PEOPLE……Let me explain.
    .
    First of all, Madonna has done almost no Promotion in the States for this album…..or basically anywhere else really.
    Mariah has been all over the Local press for the past two weeks because of her Marriage Ray J.
    AND THERE IS ONLY AN 8,000 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO ALBUMS!
    Now the Lambs can say all they want about Mariahs Marriage to Tevin Campbell, but EVERYONE KNOWS THIS IS A SHAM MARRIAGE…….If only to try & help both of their images (what friends will do for one another)
    Once Madonna starts properly promoting her album in the states (fingers Crossed) sales should stablize BUT Once Mariah files for Divorce from Montel Jordan it could go either way for Mariah…….Bigger sales from the press about said Divorce from Sisqo or she could declince because of the sham that was her marriage to Omarion.
    But either way, Madonna (as always) wins worldwide because Her album is kicking Mariahs a.ss even with the surprise wedding to Ne-Yo….but then again Mariah is a Local Star.

    Okay - this is stupid. Why create this dumbass competition? I like Mariah - but am not interested in the least in having her 'beat' Madonna…' hating' is just dumb (unless you're running a site that's making you tons of $$…but even then $$ is not everything). I'm just grateful whenever ANYONE comes out with a good song…they are so few and far between these days.

    Re: madge – Maybe Mariah's fans are more honest, car(ey)ing, and devoted enough to spend - what $14-$15? - on an album, whether they by in a store or buy online. I can assure you they have computers or access to them (it's not like tape sales have risen).

    212

    Plain and simple: Madge released the worst album of her career and Mariah released one of her best. Americans know it and the sales reflect that. And anyone who is trying to say world sales count more, has anyone ever lived in Europe and followed what was on the charts? BORING! Someone on here tried to say the U.S. has vanilla music but the rest of the world is much worse. The reason Mariah outsells Madonna in the U.S. is because she can sing well and does R & B. Basically, Americans are so over Madge's style of music.

    Well, as I expected… Madonna's stay at #1 did not last long. In only her SECOND week, the former Queen of Pop falls from #1 to #5, taking a laughable 71 percent dive in sales. With first week sales of 280k and second week sales of 81k, Madge's total sales for two weeks totals a mere 361k. That is 120k short of what Mariah's "E=MC2" sold in ONE week. Mariah falls to #4 this week, but still manages to outsell Madonna by over 8k. With a whopping 1 million in digital downloads, you would think "4 Minutes" would have "Hard Candy" flying off the shelves. Could it be the only thing "saving" the world, Madge's career, or "4 minutes" is…. Justin Timberlake?

    Amen to the "Dear E and America's" comment. Ignorant dumb fucks. Get over yourselves. You have to big yourselves up to convince yourselves that your better than everyone else CAUSE THE WORLD HATES YOU!!!! Who wants to be American when the rest of the world wants to bomb your asses?

    Re: HEY Z – And the rest of the world is what???… people went to the America because they were looking for something better. If you don't like the US - then you don't like yourself. It's that simple. If you hate an entire country or believe that all people are all the 'same' then you are very closed-minded. In reality, all HUMANS want the same things - basic things like a good job, friends, family…etc. Travel the world and you will find we are all similar. Celebrate real differences - interesting things that make cultures rich. If you just want to hate - it's easy to find everywhere. Grow up and realize it's people with thoughts like your own that keep the whole world fighting.

    Wow, Madonna is ABSOLUTELY REVOLTING IN THAT CLIP.

    Re: HEY Z

    "ON THE WHOLE AMERICANS ARE IGNORANT AND EGOTISTICAL, INSULAR AND ILL EDUCATED."

    I must say, that comment is very much ignorant in itself. You can't blanket statement a whole country. That would be like me saying English people all have bad teeth, and that they are stuck up and rude and have a spot of tea everyday. Now see, I am English—and I know that's not true. English people don't all have bad teeth, that's a bum rap. I find it appalling that a person with any sort of intelligence could judge an entire country. America is not the enemy people. And there are many intelligent, humble, well educated people that live here. I've lived here for 24 years and America rocks!!! Of course I love my home country of England too, but I love it here just a little more. :)

    So let's not judge a whole country by a few people. I mean–come on, that's immature. Any English people here? You have bad teeth? Because that is the first thing people think of with England. And I know that stereotype isn't true. It's offensive to stereotype a whole country.

    Whether you like Americans or not, this is still the country to come to if you want to make it big. :)

    America is fantastic. It's a melting pot of people from ALL over the world. People come here to better themselves and live in a beautiful country. This is a country full of people that will bend over backwards to help their neighbors if a natural disaster occurs, or their house burns down. People give here. Whatever they can. We help out other countries when help is needed. I'm proud to be an American, and for people to try to tout there country as being the best are just stupid. All countries are beautiful. Take pride in your country. Just don't come on here and pull down others. That's just wrong.

    Who cares about the "battle" of Mariah and Madonna? We should celebrate them both as being 2 strong females that have BOTH done their thing.

    Madonna is too old to be wearing the shit she wears and she looks like an exaggerated tranny with all her arteries sticking out all over the place, it's completely ridiculous. There is nothing feminine about her body, it's disgusting looking. Mariah deserves to be on top, she is a beautiful, fresh-faced FEMININE woman with both stellar songwriting skillz and voice….she puts Madonna to shame.

    224

    Some wiser poster rightfully called attention to Madonna's fake cheekbones.
    She has very high, photo-genic cheekbones these days- but if you look at pictures from her younger years- you will find no such cheekbone structure.

    Perez- are you on it? Let's see younger photo- no cheekbones- Recent photo- "beautiful woman" cheekbones.

    225

    does no one else see that that was EXACTLY mariah's plan when she married Nick Cannon? It's just a publicity stunt. She did it just so she could be talked about more and ergo, more popular on the charts.

    Madonna's "Hard Candy" (Warner Bros.) falls from the top slot to No. 3, moving 94,000 with a 66% slip. "American Idol" star Clay Aiken debuts at No. 4 with "On My Way Here" (RCA), with a slightly less total than "Hard Candy." Aiken's last studio album, 2006's "A Thousand Different Ways," started at No. 2 with the much larger sum of 211,000.

    Mariah Carey's Island Def Jam album "E=MC2" continues its decline 2-5 with 87,000 (-9%), and Leona Lewis' "Spirit" (Syco/J) slips 3-6 with 76,000 (-10%).

    Re: NOEMI – To answer some of your questions: she has 15 albums, 152 concerts, yes she's married, been doing this 18 years.

    Now let's look at Old-Hag-Madge: 11 albums, 336 concerts (including her last tour where it was 60 shows and the highest paid for a FEMALE artist, not "all time" as many people here are incorrectly posting), yes she's married and she's been doing this for 25 years.

    If it weren't for America and it's fearless citizens - Europe would be speaking German. We should never throw it in their faces but it is true. The US and Europe are family and in general we love each other because we are each other. We could not exist without the other. There is a really beautiful union between the US and Europe unlike nasty Mexico which is full of corrupt animals that steal from their own people.

    Mariah may be winning the war in the United States on album sales (AND ONLY IN THE U.S.), but Madonna is winning INTERNATIONALLY!!! 4 Minutes has been Number 1 on the United World Chart for 4 weeks, has sold more copies in the United States and Madonna's Hard Candy sold 802,000 worldwide in its FIRST WEEK compared to Mariah's album which has sold on 1,075,000 copies worldwide since 8 April (OVER A MONTH!!!!) So i think MADONNA SMACKS DOWN MARIAH!!!!

    I don't know where Perez got his info but it kinda doesn't make sense. Madonna haters, please keep in mind that CD downloads via mobile phone are not counted, because of this it is estimated that Madonna sold 200,000 CDs less. Some people were able to download the CD a week earlier. (She made a deal with Verizon in the US, Vodafone in the UK and some other carrier in India.) Remember it is not about numbers to Madonna, but money.

    Actually, according to Billboard.com, Madonna drops to #3 (not #5). She sold 94,000 copies (66% decrease). Mariah's album falls from #2 to #5, selling 87,000 copies (9% decrease).

I AM SICK OF AMERICANS THINKING THE REST OF US REALLY WANT TO BE THEM. I AM SICK OF AMERICANS NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THE REST OF THE WORLD. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO STUDY GEOGRAPHY AFTER GRADE 8 IN AMERICA. I AM SICK OF AMERICA POLICING THE WORLD AND TELLING OTHER COUNTRIES WHO CAN HAVE WEAPONS, WHO CAN'T, WHO CAN HAVE THIS AND THAT, WHEN EXACTLY WERE THEY GIVEN THAT POSITION??? OH WAIT, THEY WEREN'T, THEY JUST TOOK IT. I AM JUST REALLY REALLY SICK OF THEM! AND BEFORE YOU TELL ME TO STOP COMING TO THE SITE, I'M AHEAD OF YOU. I WON'T BE COMING BACK.

    hate to break it to you bud, but Mariah isn't even 40 yet & has has trouble in the past with selling albums & radio in her strongest Market…The US. Remember Glitter, Charmbracelet, Her Greatest Hits & The remix album? Yeah…. neither do we…..but she was in her 30's then…..so for you to say that mariah will have sold more than Madonna by the time Mariah is 50 is Bull & if I remember correctly, Madonna signed a 120 million dollar recording contract for 10 years……..you do the Math.
    and just so you know, Mariahs Marriage to Bow Wow isn't helping her image at the moment & I see a glitter part 2 when all is said & done. This is one DJ who will get paid & write a nice tell all.

    Re: EURe: EU

    I DID get my facts right…she was knocked off the top of the UK album charts after just ONE WEEK by German techno band Scooter who have not had a top 40 UK single in over FIVE YEARS and who have NEVER had a UK number 1 album and who have done little or no promotion of this album whatsoever.

    I wasn't talking about her single….and, tbh, you can top the singles chart on a mere 17,500 sales per week on average so it's not that big a deal really.

    As for any of my other comments, they were my personal opinon. I do like Madonna but I don't find her music as inventive or as trend-leading as it once was. I saw her in concert on her last tour and found it very generic having already seen dvds of the couple of tours before it and nowhere near as exciting to watch as, say, The Blonde Ambition Tour which was stunning and exciting.

    That's not to say I think Mariah is better than Madonna because she's not….she's been permenantly bland and devoid of anything of interest throughout her entire career.

    However, I will conceed that Mariah is extremely popular too….which means that if Mariah outsells Madonna it's not as big a deal as when a reletively unknown German techno group do. That, to me, is a bigger sign of an artist needing to buck up their ideas, go back to the drawing board and do something trend-setting and amazing again.

    Give me a break. Madonna is STILL and always will be the Queen of Pop. Even she has said it's not a numbers game and who can sell the most, etc. This discussion should be revisted when Mariah hits 50…if she's still making music at that time. Some one needs to restrain her hands when she sings…bet she won't hit those high notes at that time!

    Re: Jay – Dickwad, of course someone will say "it's not a numbers game" when they're losing here in the United States. EVERYONE IN THE RIGHT MIND knows it really is a numbers game. Someone can have the sound of a freakin' angel but if they don't sell chit here in the US, it doesn't mean crap. So it's 100% for sure a numbers game.

    And don't say Madonna is big overseas so the US doesn't matter because there are MANY MANY artists who did big numbers outside the US but flopped here… we haven't heard from there here in the US again.

    Madonna has accomplished way more than Mariah Carey in her whole life! Hello! That's why she's called the Queen of Pop! Mariah may have better vocals, but Madonna has contributed alot to the Pop and fashion world. You got people around the world copying her. Ayumi Hamasaki copies her! Mariah may be outselling Madge now with her new album, but Madge will surely pass MC in the following weeks. And I'm sure Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Tour will be highly successful.

    Re: Madonna
    "And don't say Madonna is big overseas so the US doesn't matter because there are MANY MANY artists who did big numbers outside the US but flopped here… we haven't heard from there here in the US again."
    .
    You idiots have been writing Madonna off for years yet She just scored her 4th consecutive #1 of the decade….7th overall. You Idiots said she would never have another top 10 hit again in the states yet there she is in the top 10….and don't say it's the Justin & Tim collaboration or else Duran Duran would have done better with their album which also included production Justin & Tim.
    and if the states were all that Matter………..WHY ISN'T MARIAH SIGNING BIG RECORDING CONTRACTS LIKE MADONNAS 120Million Dollar deal?
    Mariah does have more #1's than Madonna in America (even though she did buy them) so according to the LAMB Theory……Mariah should have record Execs banging her door down…Right?
    But No, her biggest pay day came from Her label at the time (Virgin) to LEAVE! You think maybe they realized what she was all about….PAYOLA?
    When you Lambs count up Mariah album sales, you include the #'s from outside the states too, right? Is it because THEY DO MATTER? So it would be safe to say that since Mariah is a Local Star, you have to say they don't matter?
    Food for Thought.

    I LOVE that 95% of the comments are in favor of Mariah. She has shifted herself into an R&B/hip-hop format and doesn't rely on overrated reinvention to make people pay attention to her. As for her recent marriage…nobody who doesn't already like her music is going to buy her album off of curiosity toward all the gossip…meaning, the gossip sells magazines not CDs. Madonna jumped into Mariah's territory and the results are hideous..the CD is horrible and her vocals are weak and she didn't promote her weak shit…Madonna could still have it if she would have just stuck with pop. Mariah's promotion is SMART…she's sampling her good and GUESS WHAT?? PEOPLE SEEM TO LIKE WHAT THE HEAR! Imagine that, a singer who actually sells herself through her SONGS!

    Ok Perez

    You need to post a retraction. Yes, Madonna had a large sales drop from week to week, but she did not fall behind Pariah.

    According to Billboard, Madonna's "Hard Candy" (Warner Bros.) falls from the top slot to No. 3, moving 94,000 with a 66% slip. Mariah sold less than that this week. Overall, pretty weak showing for both females. So, your post should be considered bullshit.
