Mimi Smacks Down Madge

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!
