Mariah Vs. Madonna?

SHARE:

Adjust text size:


Another feud is on the verge of bursting in the classy world of celebrities. We are talking now about a real major (possible) confrontation between Mariah Carey and pop icon Madonna.

Apparently, the older artist (47) is still holding a grudge against the younger one (36) who, a few years ago, said in a televised interview that she, quote, 'grew up' listening to Madonna's music, thus indirectly implying that she is rather old and, maybe, old-fashioned.

Madonna is reported to have laughed 'hysterically' when she heard that Mimi had to cancel some shows because of the lack of interest and of her poor ticket sales at the concerts promoting her latest album. Furthermore, she even asked her representatives to send her an email with all the detailed sales of the 'Butterfly' singer, the 'New York Daily News' reports.

On the other hand, Madonna's spokesperson stated that she has no negative feeling towards Carey and that she definitely isn't interested in details regarding the latter's concerts. One might have also added that she doesn't have to care how other artists are doing, since her tour 'Confessions on the Dance Floor' is about to reach sales of almost $200 million.

Mariah's PR also stood up and defended the diva, saying that she had to cancel a few appearances in smaller cities because of the growing demand from America's largest ones, where she has to add new shows. The spokesperson concluded by stating that 'her tour is selling well', but made no mention as to the fact if Mariah is now upset with Madonna.

Probably we should let ticket sales decide which of the two is the best diva. Dare to venture a guess?

Madonna rules, she has sold more than that mariah. So what is mariah has 18 number 1 singles big deal, madonna has more number one singles on a world wide scale e.g. 13 number singles in the UK and mariah only has 2 in the UK.
One more thing mariah flopped in the early 00's, has madonna ever flopped? NO and she is like nearly 50. Mariah couldn't even make 40 without flopping lol.


Comment #2 by: Zan on 24 Oct 2009, 19:02 UTC reply to this comment

To Josh, Madonna has also been around a longer time than Mariah, and still their sales figures are very close. Mariah's sold more in the United States, and Madonna is based primarily in Britain, so that would explain her greater popularity in that country.

Madonna has flopped numerous times. Go check the sales figures of her early 2000s works. Mariah also doesn't feel the need to "reinvent" her image in a desperate attempt at remaining relevant as Madonna feels the need to. Yet one would still be hard pressed to call Madonna relevant.

Comment #4.1 by: shocked on 17 Feb 2012, 18:05 GMT

lol, madonna is nothing against mariah. she can't sing, she can't dance. she has only some good producers and many desillusionend fans. she acts like she's the strongest and nothing can come to her. people love that. maybe she's only a better role model when it comes to shock people and because of her craziness (that is 100% not real), onlöy for promotion. mariah is, madonna was.

RICARDO D.MARZAN
YOU ARE A LIAR:

IT'S CLEAR THAT YOU ARE SAYING A LOT OF LIES OR ONLY POST FACTS ABOUT MARIAH BUT EXCLUDE LOTS OF FACTS PROVIDING THAT MADONNA ACTUALLY IS THE ONES WHO REALLY BEATS MARIAH CAREY.

ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU POSTED ARE A REAL LIE.

MADONNA SOLD MORE THAN 400 MILLIONS AND MARIAH ONLY 160 MILLIONS DOUH !!!

NOW, YOU JUST TAKE 10 YEARS OF MARIAH AND TAKE ALL THE CAREER OF MADONNA RIGHT ???
WELL, THAT PROVES THAT YOU ARE A FAKER LOL

MADONNA ALREADY WAS THE BIGGEST SELLING FEMALE IN HER FIRST 10 YEARS OF CAREER ALREADY.

AND IF WE PUT MANY ARGUMENTS WITH THEIR NUMBER AS YOU DID (WELL, ACTUALLY YOU JUST WROTE MOST OPINIONS THAN FACTS WHICH MAKE YOUR INFORMATION NOT VALUABLE) MADONNA BEATS MARIAH, SO IT WOULD BE MOS OF THE BATTLES WON BY MADONNA.

ACCEPT IT!!! YOU JUST CAME TO PUT LIES AS A TYPICAL MARIAH FAN.

AND IF MARIAH HAD MORE FANS THAN MADONNA, SHE WOULD SELL OUT HER SHOWS AND HER CONCERTS ARE FLOPS EVERYWHERE.

IT'S CLEAR THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW IT BUT YOU CAN´T ACCEPT IT


I'M SORRY BUT MADONNA IS THE WINNER AND ABOUT THE FANS, MADONNA HAS MUCH MORE FANS EVEN IN AMERICA, ASIA , AUSTRALIA, AFRICA, EUROPE, ETC...... SO STOP SAYING LIES, STOP DREAMING, OPEN YOUR EYES AND BE REALISTIC.

AND IF TRUTH HURTS YOU, I'M SORRY


Comment #7 by: For Ricardo d. Marzan on 01 Apr 2010, 23:04 UTC reply to this comment

First of all, it doesn't really matter which market is bigger than other ones......WHAT is really important is how many sales the artist may have, and believe me that Madonna beats Mariah and not only in Europe, BUT, I guess we should go into parts in order to reply your comment my friend.
First of all, Madonna has much more sales in a smaller continent (Europe) than Mariah Carey in a bigger continent (Asia, or the places that you mentioned to be more specific) or America (US, to be more specific)
Moreover, I have some observations for you my friend:
#1 It's too bad for you saying what you just said about European people JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE YOUR IDOL, it's obvious that you wrote that because of HATE to Madonna and cuz UR JEALOUS, at least that’s what your way of writing seems to be like.

#2 Mariah is not yet the biggest selling female artist in America, she hasn't surpassed Barbra Streisand yet, neither Madonna.

#3 as I said before, America may be the largest market, but that doesn't make an artist the biggest one, I mean....look at those rap and hip hop artists for god's sake!!! They have not a super stardom actually outside some parts of US. Moreover, Europe is not how you are saying and America neither. Europe just has a different way of seeing things and is not of vulgarity, it's just about different ways of thinking. In America, we've been get used to be more close to some kind of things, and it is not bad, is just about culture and different ways of thinking.

#4: Are you trying to say that Madonna hasn't diamond certification for her albums ?? Excuse me, but she also has diamond certification albums in USA. And when you speak about Europe, come on !! you are not even mentioning all the countries of Europe but let me tell you what I've said before, that doesn't make the importance of an artist.

#5 Speaking about Asia, I know that Madonna hasn’t been so successful as Mariah selling discs in that continent, BUT....when she goes to tour there, she causes much more sensation there than MARIAH...the tickets for confessions tour in Tokyo Dome were sold out in a record breaking time of 5 minutes only. The maximum record of Mariah Carey there was of 31 minutes and MADONNA's maximum record there was 5 minutes! (Record breaking time in ticket’s sales for concerts)

#6 you are sometimes confusing the sizes of the continents and the importance of market, which HAS NOTHING TO DO ONE TO EACH OTHER. And, you are not even supporting what you are saying with real congruency. America is not actually the whole world of discs and hits and that is truth, but you want to convince that it is, but you won’t make it, cuz it isn’t actually .Or, are you trying to prove that it is ??? Well.....read everything you have written and you'll see that you haven't proved it yet.

#7: Madonna's world hits, OF COURSE THEY ARE MORE POPULAR WORLWIDE THAN THE MARIAH SONGS YOU'VE MENTIONED. What you wrote is such a huge lie!! Where are your proves? huh? tell me....and don't show me "arguments" from Mariah web sites made by the lambs like all Mariah fans use to do. Just go and check the charts of Mariah and Madonna worldwide and You'll see that MADONNA'S HITS ARE MUCH MORE POPULAR AND SUCCESSFULL THAN MARIAH'S HITS WORLWIDE, if you don't know well....better don't write ok? And if you come here saying lies, your credibility as a Mariah fan will decrease more and more.

#8: Actually, Mariah Carey is not more successful than Madonna in America and the reason why many of her last songs haven’t been in good chart position there is because Madonna doesn't give promotion to her songs in that country actually, but when she makes tours, the tickets in USA are sold out in record breaking time in giant stadiums. What about Mariah Carey??? She has been struggling to full an arena of 3000 people and she didn't make it!!! Don't you think that if Mariah was a bigger star than Madonna and more successful, people would definitely want to see her in concert and listen her hits live ???
So, why it doesn't happen? it’s easy to answer.....because Mariah is not more successful than Madonna neither in USA, at least not in that sense.
Moreover, haven’t you seen the comment of a user here called Tiffany??? I guess she is the comment 175, or 176……she has relatives who work in those companies; you can't know more than she does for god's sake.

#9: You are lying about GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS , THAT BOOK published in 2000, in 2007 and in 2008 THAT MADONNA IS THE BIGGEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST AND MOST SUCCESSFULL FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIME WORLWIDE because her sales surpass 338’600’000 millions of albums sold
GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS NEVER MENTIONED MARIAH CAREY AS THE BIGGEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST.

#10: Mariah received lots of millennium awards and received millennium award and chopard diamond award, but tell me........SO WHY MAJOR PART OF THE WORLD DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THAT ??? AND FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IT WAS NOT IMPORTANT AND DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF MARIAH CAREY. And most people , believe me, are still considering Madonna as the world's biggest selling female recording artist of history.
Madonna doesn't need to receive those kinds of awards to prove who she really is, that is something that speaks by itself and without those awards, Madonna is considered by the major part of people worlwide as the top selling female and most successfull one. And mariah even though she has those awars, she keeps struggling to be considered as that and she can't yet. That is pure truth. So I guess it's a shame for Mariah.

#11: Madonna was never presented suddenly by someone as you said as the highest selling, that is something that has been known already, that's why she is not even interested to publish it in every place she goes. Because she doesn't need to prove anything else, major part of the world knows already that Madonna is the highest selling female and most successfull recording female artist in history.

#12: The 300 millions are not only estimations, and even though they were, COME ON ! Use common sense: Estimations are almost always approximated to the real sales....I mean....it seems that you're trying to say that Madonna have sold less than 150 millions ??? well...that is false, she has sold more than 380 millions and it was officialy published by Warner Brothers Inc...and not cuz it's her company, is because they counted right, but now sales are higher.
What you are saying about celebrity has nothing to do with sales.

#13:So, don't say lies or try to make up many things that and cover your opinions and your illusions as a "lamb" and try to make them appear as facts, because you haven't still enough fundaments and tools for your arguments. That's why most of Mariah fans are irrelevant, cuz of their lies and come on !!
Just because you wrote this, that doesn't make that major part will believe you. Major part of the world is still considering Madonna as the most successful female in music business worlwide.

# 14: Now, answering to your questions to Madonna fans:
1) -Why Madonna didn’t get more than one and only World Music Award in her entirely career ?
As we’ve said before, Madonna doesn’t need to prove anything with the world music awards, she is still the best selling female and everyone recognizes it , but if you want to know why , Madonna has been focusing since the beginning of her career to another types of records, she actually doesn’t care too much about sales. But, haven’t you noticed that there have been a lot of times when Madonna has rejected some awards and some invitations to some events ?? And according to many sources, Madonna hasn’t replied invitations for world music awards lots of times. I cannot tell you why,cuz there are not so specific sources that say this in an specific way, but she have said that a lot of times


2) -How much discs (albums and singles) Madonna sold when Mariah won the Millennium Award in 2000,and the Chopard Diamond Award in 2002 ?
By the time Mariah received those awards, Madonna was already known by the major part of the world as the biggest selling female and GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS have published already that she sold more than 338’600’000 million albums sold, with singles counting, but in albums only, she had already more than 200 million albums sold, the rest was of singles.
2) -Why it wasn’t Madonna who get honored by for selling the most albums and singles worldwide ?
I’ve already answered that to you in a certain way…..and there are some sources, which to be honest I don’t trust , is also because Madonna didn’t reply to the invitation of the world music awards. But she was honored By GUINESS, and let me tell you that GUINESS is much more respected and more important than World Music Awards, because even though they are not specialists in music, they are specialists in the biggest and most amazing records of the world and they don’t give awards….they PROVE AND DEMONSTRATE TO THE WORLD REAL FACTS AND REAL IMPRESSIVE RECORDS!!!
Mariah Carey with millennium and diamond award was still irrelevant for millions of people………I mean, go and ask to many people and they won’t even know about those awards of Mariah and the first thing that will come to their minds of who’s the best selling will be Madonna.
And I tell you this, not without tools, cuz if you notice…………….a very validate way to prove the success is making lots of polls to the people, and believe me, in many important web sites of associations of polls, Madonna beats Mariah carey when people are asked who is the top selling female artist ? who do you prefer ?.....Madonna always wins…………and if you don0t believe me, well….I invite you to research it by YOURSELF :D OK ???
4) -Why Madonna did never honored by any best selling female artistAward in her entire career ?
That is not something that is demonstrated by awards, that is demonstrated by FACTS, and proved by real sources of experts in records. Actually that is something of business and it ‘s not so important to receive an award for this, is to be mentioned by the most important source of records (like Guiness, Forbes,etc……)
And as I said before, that is something that comes by itself and is known by itself. That’s why Madonna is still recognized by majorities as the top selling female artist of all time
5) -If it’s true that Madonna sold most discs than Mariah, when Madonna’s sales did catch up with Mariah ‘s ?
Madonna had already millions of albums sold in advantage over Mariah Carey when Mariah started, but even though Mariah or Madonna had the same years of career (which is not) anyway……..Madonna would still on the top and doesn’t need awards to demonstrate that.

Now, you see that awards are not the most relevant or important sources ??
And anyway, Madonna has much more valuable awards than Mariah……go and research them if you want .
6) -When did they exceeds Mariah’s sales ?

I already answered that to you in different ways…………..and of course in this decade Madonna has been beating Mariah.
Also let me tell you that Madonna had much more achievements in 80s decade than Mariah Carey in the 90s, she also received award of artist of the decade and was already the highest selling female. That is pure truth. She surpassed all the female singers of that time.
At the early 90s, Madonna was losing many things because of the scandals of erotic, sex,etc……in the middle of the 90s, Madonna wasn’t making studio albums and at the end of the 90s, she came back and returned to the top and began to sell more than Mariah carey again.
But moreover, how do you want Madonna to receive 2000 millenium award when she wasn’t really working in studio albums for years ??? But anyway……….she was much more wanted than Mariah in that time and was already known as what I’ve said lots of time before (the top selling female) and that millennium of Mariah wasn’t really important actually for the world’s music business, just for her fans and for her obviously.
So, it’s nice that Mariah was honored by those awards. But, Madonna has the most important……..the preference and the support of the majorities all around the world.

Moreover, many people of US mentions it as if it was all America….I know the story of that.
But anyway…….Madonna has much more fans and success than mariah carey in the whole American continent (Canada, parts of US, all Latin America), Europe, Africa and Oceania (even though she never goes to tour there, she has much more success in those places)
The only place where I believe Mariah could be bigger is in Japan and those places of Asia you just mentioned. But at least Madonna has much more sensation when she goes there than Mariah. Madonna tickets in Asia are sold out immediately and more quickly than mariah’s ones.
And in USA, Mariah has no success touring, while Madonna has a record breaking time there selling out big stadiums. If Mariah was more successful or a bigger star, she would do the same or the double, because people would want to listen her 18#1s live, but why that doesn’t happen ??
Moreover, most of 18 #1s of Mariah are not even remembered……..Madonna in the other hand, many of her 36top worldwide songs are classics even in US.

AND I FOUND OUT ANOTHER LIE OF YOURS: “MARIAH CAREY IS THE BEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST OF SINGLES”

THAT IS NOT TRUE!!!!! THAT IS ANOTHER HUGE LIE DUDE
MADONNA IS, AND THAT IS A FACT.
IT SEEMS THAT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU TO WRITE LIES OR TO RELATE THINGS WITH OTHER ONES THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH AND PUT ARGUMENTS THAT HAVE NO CONGRUENCY, BUT ALSO YOU ARE STEALING SOME RECORDS OF MADONNA AND PUTTING THEM TO MARIAH.

CONCLUSION:

I’m sorry Chris, but what you wrote here was not supportive to your arguments, so you have not credibility . You just came to write without analyzing carefully.
I’m sorry But Madonna beats Mariah Carey in all senses.
Actually I’ve nothing against Mariah cuz I know she ‘s a great person and she has made songs that have touched my soul deeply but facts are facts, Mimi loses and that is a fact.

Now, you see that awards are not important if you don’t count with the support of the audience? BECAUSE THE LAST WORD IS TAKEN BYE THE AUDIENCE
Madonna may not have those awards but she counts with the support of much more people than Mariah and has much more audience. That’s why she is still considered by almost everybody as the top selling recording female artist and most successful female and most famous female artist in history of all times.
But I mean, does it really make something important to you ? Why is so important for you that Mariah is the top selling ?? I mean, that is not the most important finally.
Maybe that’s why Mariah fans can’t enjoy a lot her music, they waste their time with hate and lies.
Maybe that’s why Madonna fans can enjoy Madonna much more, because they know that she beats Mariah in everything worldwide and they don’t need to prove it. But at the end of the day, everybody says “well she may be the best seller, but the most important is what she convey to us with her music and shows”
Lambs should do the same

Comment #7.1 by: allen on 29 Apr 2010, 02:35 GMT

The entire european market combined with Latin America hasno match with that of North America... and lets also consider Japan and other asian countries.... its clear who wins...


Comment #8 by: Yun Cetina on 01 Apr 2010, 23:13 UTC reply to this comment

I guess the person who answered to Ricardo D. Marzan is right as well as Alexis

And you forgot to mention that:

Madonna actually also beats mariah carey in US (because of ticket sales) Madonna sells out stadiums, and mariah flops in shows for 3000 people.
When Madonna goes to Asia, she causes much more sensation and attraction to the people more than mariah carey, one proof is that the tickets for her concerts there are sold out in a record breaking time, and mimi cannot do that.

Is a total lie that Madonna has only fans in Europe, the real fact is that she has much more fans, success and sales than mariah carey also in Latin America, The rest of American continent, Oceania, Africa and Europe.
Moreover, there is a part of Asia where mariah doesn't even rule. She doesn't own all Asia, she owns maybe the parts of Tokyo, Phillipines, Singapore, etc.....
The Asian part of Rusia, Israel and some other countries are owned by Madonna too :D

**And if you add that the higher importance that Madonna has over mariah in US in tours and really the one who the people really wants, and the sensation that mariah can't achieve in tours also in Tokyo which Madonna do have.


Then there are no battles that Mariah can win like ALL THE FALSE THINGS THAT RICARDO D.MARZAN POSTED.

MADONNA WINS

MARIAH LOSES

SAD FOR MARIAH'S FANS , BUT TRUE

Comment #8.1 by: Meredith on 16 May 2010, 12:15 GMT

TO ALEXIS AND ALL OTHER MADONNA FANS
All that I know about Madonna and Mariah Carey lean on real facts,not on proofless asserts.I’m not start off on music since yesterday or last year.I am musically trendy since my childhood.So I am in a position to know many facts about the evolution of Madonna,Whitney Houston,Mariah Carey,Celine Dion’s respective musical careers.I’m also read a lot about those artists as I am not border in English language texts ,but I read also on French and Spanish languages .I can even read a few of German language texts .I got this privilege over most of you.I am in position to don’t swallow anything at all that some entities claim today whatever how they are named.I am guided by what I known and learned through all my years of finding about those female artists.

You’re stupids and crafties, but not enough for afraid me.There is so much lies and confusions into your falsified arguments.According to your lies,Madonna is the female artist of all records.Sometimes you claim Madonna get over 150 million albums sales on advantage of Mariah,sometimes you claim 200 million on advantage of Mariah and bla bla bla…You just mentioned Guiness book of Records,Forbes,IFPI etc. Usually,you refute all musical authorities like World Music Award, Billboard, Chopard Diamond Award etc. because they supported Mariah.Nevertheless, you try to make Mariah’s fans swallow that Forbes ( who specialized in celebrities fortunes) ,Guiness book of Records (who’s not specialized in music questions ) RIAA (specialized in US sales.According to RIAA,Mariah is the second best-selling female artist at U.S just behind Barbra Streisand, Madonna catch up with her recently at the second place)are right just because they supports Madonna .Unfortunatelly and Paradoxically,all figures sales of Madonna can’t prove that she really sell what you usually claim ( 300 or 380 million albums) in spite of your exaggerated increase of her figures sales.Do you know calculate? How Madonna could sell 380 million with only 22 realeases,while her best selling album sold at 26 million,her second best selling album sold at 22 million and her third 20 million ?And she had only 8 albums reaching and surpassing 10 million units sold ?Just the names of the institutions that you cited (Guiness Book of Record,Forbes,etc..) doesn’t resolve this essential and decisive problem.Moreover,the detailed datas and figure sales (which was published and supervised since their initial sum till today including their sale expansion through the time) are most credible than simple and proofless recent asserts from some institutions .Again,this is while those such institutions claimed that the total album’s sales of another artist (Mariah Carey) whom have a best selling album reaching 30 million,a second approximately 25-27 million and a third 19 million ( with 10 albums surpassing 10 million sales) doesn’t reach 200 million.Does This have a sense?
About Alexis and others,All your arguments favoring Madonna rest on Europe. Europe,Europe and Europe again.However you did’nt stop to say to Mariah’s fans till now again that America and Asia are not the whole world ,then you continue to claim Europe for Madonna,you’re so confused!
You decide which institutions and musical authorities are valid and truthful and which are not credible.And it’s in accordance of your own arguments.You accept a Musical Authority as credible if and only if , it supports your favorite artist Madonna. In the contrary case,you said that this source lie and is not valid.Now you try to be regarded as wiser on this blog.
FACTS_ Already in 1997, Guiness book of records ( French version) was presented Mariah Carey as THE FEMALE ARTIST WITH THE MOST ALBUMS SALES at this decade.In 1998, at the VH1 Divas Live Show ,among Aretha Franklin,Celine Dion,Gloria Estefan and Shania Twain ,Mariah Carey was presented as THE BEST SELLING ARTIST OF 1990 DECADE. In 2001,Mariah Carey total of albums selling was 150 million worldwide and she won THE MILLENIUM AWARD.In 2002, at the prestigious Super Bowls show in U.S debut,she was claimed as the BIGGEST FEMALE RECORDING ARTIST IN HISTORY .In 2003,Mariah got the Chopard Diamond Award for the BEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIMES . There are too much confusions and lies into the facts. We will never be O.K on this point. We can’t always know Who lie and who said the truth,but if we’re really objective and searching for the truth,we must support and base our researches on the past facts for getting some ideas for now. Today,many much websites and biographies are biased and falsify their informations.They try swallow anything to us.Those websites increase exaggerately their favourite artist figures sales and decrease those of the ones they hate. I don’t know why, but many of those blogs and websites hate Mariah Carey in particular and diminish her figures sales ( particularly Wikipedia) .Everyone know that,it’s more than obvious..
If some of us didn’t know the real achievements and fulfillments of Mariah Carey,we would be duped.Fortunatelly,it’s not my case personally.
Finally,nothing in the facts never proved that Madonna sales more albums than Mariah Carey .At opposite,all facts show that Madonna & Mariah Carey sold approximately the same total of albums.The both sold respectively 200 million of albums,perhaps with a slight difference of 2-5 million albums sold.And don’t say that Madonna is more than a singer,that she’s an icon.She’s not the only one.Mariah Carey is an icon too,but unlike Madonna ,Mariah Carey is a vocal icon.Her phenomenal voice is popular worldwide .Her voice influences many artists of today,and she’s also the number one musical influence in Asia.And we’d better specify what kind of icon Madonna is.Madonna is above all a sexual icon,but not especially a musical icon.She symbolize the sexual liberated western woman.Her image get ahead of her music and she’s much more influential by her image than by her music.That’s why Madonna is very popular ,and it’s just her image who influences some artists,not her music.

I'm a huge fan of mariah carey n I am proud to be a lamb. But, we have to face it at least once guys and be objective.
I'm afarid Alexis is right at certain point (but I disagree on his rude way of saying things obviously ¬¬)
Mariah is actually not the best selling female artist, neither in US. I know perfectly well that Madonna is the top selling recording artist of all time in all the world and I respect the place where she is, even though the other lambs say the opposite, we know that this won't change.
But at least, Mariah Carey can sing very well, she has a precious voice which was a gift of God, she is an exellent writer that has made songs that can touch the souls of a person so deeply......so who cares if she isn't the biggest selling or the highest importance as Madonna has ?? I'm sure that Madonna won't never be able to sing songs like Emotions, Dreamlover, Love takes time and much more.
Ok, maybe Madonna has more number ones outside US and is pretty good because I agree that is more important to have success all around the world than only in US, BUT!!! that doesn't change that mariah carey has made such beautiful songs than nobody else can do, so I don't care if Madonna beats Mariah in sales, success, popularity, etc...... (I know that she actually beats Mariah in those senses) but that is not important for me, I have enough with the precious voice of Mariah Carey, her beautiful songs, her personality and her strength as a human being that has been inspiring us (the lambs)


LAMBS 4 LIFE !!! :D:D:D

Here are some simple things that ought to settle this:

1. Both are good songwriters
2. Both have very impressive chart records
3. Mariah has a 100-octave voice while people say that Madonna's a crappy singing voice


Despite being the same for #s 1 and 2, and #3 being very true, Madonna still sold millions of records that equaled or even exceeded Mariah's (depending on who's fans you talk to).

I guess Madge beats Mimi hands down. (And we haven't even talked about the tours yet)


Comment #11 by: Muzicx44 on 08 Apr 2010, 11:01 UTC reply to this comment

This is just my own simple preference,,,

Madonna obviously beats Mariah when it comes to selling records and stadiums
BUT
Mariah obviously wipes Madonna's face on solid floor talking about vocal ability and songwriting skills.
AND
For me, what matters to me is the GIFT GIFT GIFT...
TO BE ADDED
Both record sales have only slight gap,,,but huge gap of years of selling.
WHEREIN
Talking about GIFT,,,Mariah obviously reigns by a light years,,,

Mariah is Much better than Madonna.She sold more than 200 million albums in just 20 years and with 18 releases,Madonna sold the same in 27 years,with 22 releases.Mariah Carey is a vocal icon (therefore a musical icon).However ,Madonna is a sexual icon so, not specially a musical icon She just inspire people by her clothing style and her eccentricities.Mariah Carey's voice is the top among the bests.Till today,her voice still unbeattable.Her recent release I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS prove that her voice stay very beautiful,sensual,powerful,versatilerumors and toneful .It prove that all the rumors claiming that Mariah voice was declined lies .Mariah prove the opposite.Mariah is not only the best selling female artist of all times,she's the best female singer of all times.

OK, TO SETTLE ALL THIS DISPUTES ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS THIS. GO TO RIAA.COM(RECORDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) THEY AWARDED MADONNA THE POP/ROCK SELLING ARTIST OF THE CENTURY, AND SHE IS AHEAD OF MARIAH IN RECORD SALES AND BEHIND STRAISAND. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SINGLE SALES, MADONNA IS WAY AHEAD WITH 33MILLION SINGLES SOLD IN THE US. IF YOU ADD THE ALBUMS/SINGLES SALES THAT'S 97MILLION RECORDS IN THE US. WAY AHEAD OF MARIAH & STRAISAND. AS FOR WORLD RECORD FIGURES, JUST GO TO THE UNITED WORLD CHART, WHICH IS THE OFFICIAL RECORD SALES WORLD TRACKING COMPANY, THEY USE BILLBOARD, THE IFPI, RIAA AND NEILSON-SOUNDSCAN FOR THEIR OFFICIAL SALES, http://www.unitedworldchart.de, THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE THE 1950'S AND THEY HAVE A LIST OF THE TOP SELLING ACTS OF ALL TIME, IN THE RECORD CATEGORY THERE IS ONLY ONE FEMALE SINGER LISTED, AT #5 IS MADONNA, BEHIND THE BEATLES, ELVIS, MICHAEL JACKSON AND PINK FLOYD, NO MARIAH CAREY OR BARBRA STRAISAND OR CELINE DION. AND THE FINAL PROOF IS THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS, WHICH TRACKS EVERY RECORD AND SINGLE, AND THE ARTIST LISTED AS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FEMALE SINGER OF ALL TIME FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS IS MADONNA. I KNOW YOU GUYS WANNA BELIEVE OTHERWISE, BUT THE PROOF IS THERE, THESE ARE THE LEADING ENTITIES IN THE WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO ALBUM & SINGLE SALES, THEY DON'T LIE OR SHOW FAVORITISM!


Comment #14 by: Markus on 18 Jun 2010, 14:27 UTC reply to this comment

Madonna is recognized by the guinnes Book of World Records as the Most Successful Female Recording Artist Of All Time. That means she is greatness in selling albums, singles, tours. She is also recognized now as the Queen Of Pop. And she is recognized by MTV as the Artist of the Millennium....Madonna's record breaking number one singles/albums can only be compared to the likes of The Beatles, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson who have all Worldwide appeal on the Charts worldwide.

Mariah Carey doesnt seem to appeal in the European countries cause as for their latest albums released Celebration and Memoir's of an Imperfect Angel, Madonna's Celebration album is now certified platinum in Denmark,Europe, Finland, France, Ireland, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Sweden, UK. and Gold in the USA, Argentina, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, and Poland...while Mariah's Memoir's Of an Imperfect Angel is certified Gold only in the USA and Brazil, Silver in the UK and Platinum in South Korea. Ouch!

So in the tally of a wikipedia list Madonna has sold like 250 million while Mariah only has 175 Million. Madonna takes a break from music and focused on other Art (Film). And with her huge deal with Live Nation we'll expect new material from the Pop Queen. As for Mariah, she recently won Best Supporting Actress Award from God knows what it is....and with her recent tanked albums Emc2 and Memoirs,w eher does she fit in now?

Okay so the bottomline is Madonna is The Queen. Mariah is still just second best.


Comment #15 by: john on 21 Jun 2010, 07:16 UTC reply to this comment

LET'S STICK TO THE FACTS:

1. Madonna charted first in the last quarter of 1983, only about 7 years earlier than Mariah, so the discrepancy of their record sales isn't really wide. but Madonna has the most top 10 singles in billboard history, Mariah has to beat the Beatles first in the most no. 1 singles.

2. Madonna grossed $408 M in her recent STicky and Sweet tour, the biggest concert sales in history. Mariah can only fill-up a bar in a second-hand joint in Las Vegas.

3. Madonna sung two songs that won the Oscars and is a certified Golden Globe Best Actress. Mariah had to bitch against Whitney in " When You Believe" to be noticed and despite recognition in "Precious," was tragically eclipsed by Mo'Nique.

4. There is a book called Madonna-pedia, a bear named after her, and a course called Madonna Studies offered in major universities. Mariah had to wear tacky butteflies and fake boobs to get attention.

5. Madonna's name appeared in Time, Rolling Stone, Guiness book of world Records and in almost all listings about transforming the world. Mariah can only wish herself well.

6. billboard has already recognized Madonna as the All-Time Hot 100 Artist, next to Beatles. Even elvis Presley and elton John can only make an amicable curtsey to her highness. Mariah is the perennial lady-in-waiting.

So please, do yourself a favor, lambs! Compare your idol with Celine, Whitney or Beyonce.

Madonna is all a league of her own!

COMMENT ON RICARDO MARZAN'S POST

MADONNA is incomparable to the greatest singer of all time MARIAH CAREY why? so read the following:

(#1.)
MADONNA: takes long 30 years to become biggest selling female artist.
MARIAH CAREY: takes only 10 years to become biggest selling artist of the new mellenium over all artist.
(winner: MARIAH CAREY)

- Madonna is the biggest female music artist of the 80's with 7 number 1 singles, if there would be no michaEl jackson at that time she would've become the biggest of the 80's so she settled 2nd to MJ. It took Madonna like only 7 years to become the biggest selling female artist, not 30 years as you claim you idiot! and by 2010, Guinness still states her as the Biggest, Most Successful Female Music Artist of All Time, a feat that your idol mariah can never achieve in her dwindling 25 year career.

GUINNESS - reliable source
RIAA - reliable source

THE REAL WINNER --- MADONNA


(#2.)
MADONNA: has over 200 million record sold worldwide but in long time 30 years
MARIAH CAREY: has also over 200 million record worldwide in only 19 years,madonna has 11 years more than MARIAH CAREY but this 11 years is more enough to break MADONNA record.
(winner: MARIAH CAREY)

- i'm sorry fool, but mariahdaily, a mariah carey site states that your idol has only sold like 175 million on both albums and singles combined, what the hell is that 200 million? delusional fool! and to clear this up, Guinness as of 2010 declared that Madonna has sold 200 million albums worldwide, excluding her singles sales amounting to 80-100 mllion worldwide, so that could accumulate to almost 300 mllion on her 30 year career! And what was the recent update on her latest album releases? the greatest hits album of Madonna was ecertified platinum in like 13 countries, while mariah's Memoirs has like South korea platinum and only silver or whatever platinum in the US? arguably the lowest album... and eventually the end of her pathetic comeback.

again...300 million versus 175 million

THE TRUE WINNER ----- MADONNA


(#3.)
MADONNA: has only 12 no. 1 hit in the billboard hot 100 but in a long time 30 years
MARIAH CAREY: has incredible 18 no. 1 hit in billboard hot 100 and most of any other artist in only 18 years except the beatles with 20 no. 1 hit.
(winner: MARIAH CAREY)


HAHAHA! Madonna may have only 12 number 1 singles in the US Billboard but she is US Billboards Biggest Singles Artist with 37 top ten, and she's only behind mariah carey when it comes to number 1's in America, How about we take a look of them both in the UK Charts? Madonna has like 13 number 1's and mariah with only a poor two number 1's? and she's not even second to the Pop Queen! We may want to recognize that The Beatles, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson have huge number 1 singles on both the US Charts and the UK Charts. The only artist who could match this is of course, MADONNA.

THE BIGGER WINNER --- MADONNA


(#4.)
MADONNA: has guinness world record for selling over 200 million record but remember in a long time 30 years.
MARIAH CAREY: has also guinness world record for holding the highest note by a human in 2003
(we have a tie)


- YOU ARE DELUSIONAL! Guinness has already stated that they dont have any record for high hitting note1 And if ever there would a record that title will be given to GEORGIA BROWN, not mariah!


-THE LEGIT WINNER ==== MADONNA
(who also holds the Guinness record for highest paid female singer, and top grossing tour of all time for a female vocalist.



(#5.)
MADONNA: has a voice to sing but she can only hit low key G#2 and high key E6 she has only 3.6 octave vocal range.
MARIAH CAREY: has angelic voice and she can hit bass range with low key E2,F2 and hit coluratura sfogato range with high key G#7,C#8,E8. she has incredible 5.1 to 6 octoves vocal range and prove by guinness and MARIAH CAREY vocal coach.
(winner: MARIAH CAREY)


Yakitty yak yak blah blah blah, Mariah can sing, Madonna can sing.
madonna can dance, mariah can't dance! talent-wise Madonna can sing while dancing. mariah needs to stay still to belt.

WINNER --- nah let's give this to mariah, anyway.

(#6.)
MADONNA: has 7 grammy won
MARIAH CAREY: has 5 grammy won and world music award won with 16 award most of any artist followed by michael jackson with 14 awards
(winner: MARIAH CAREY


MADONNA has like 20 MTV Video Music Awards, Mariah zero, Madonna has the best actress trophy at the golden globes with 2 academy award as a solo singer on a motion picture Dick Tracy and Evita. mariah zero. Madonna has been awarded by that WMA awards time and again, maybe you should look up to this fool!

WINNER BY A NOSE - MADONNA!



(#7.)
MADONNA: has a lot of fans in europe
MARIAH CAREY: has lot of fans in asia,america,australia etc. and even the smallest continent the europe.why because in only 19 years MARIAH CAREY has over 200 million record worldwide than MADONNA 30 long time years.
(winner: MARIAH CAREY)


MADONNA'S CONCERTS IN THE USA ALL SOLD OUT, MARIAH CANT EVEN FILL A SMALL STADIUM! ACTUALLY ALL OF MADONNA'S CONCERTS WORLDWIDE HAVE SOLD OUT, ASK KELLY RIPA, RANDY JACKSON, AND JENNIFER LOPEZ WHO ALL GRACED HER TOURS IN THE USA! MADONNA IS RECOGNIZED BY KATY PERRY, LADY GAGA, BRITNEY SPEARS, CHRISTINA AGUILLERA, RIHANNA, MILEY CYRUS, FERGIE, M.I.A., ADAM LAMBERT, THE SPICE GIRLS, JLO, KE$HA.... ALL AMERICAN ARTISTS.

NOW LET'S ASK LEONA LEWIS ABOUT MARIAH? LET'S ASK CHRISTINA ABOUT MARIAH? THEY ALL USED TO ADMIRE HER BUT NOW THEY HATE HER CAUSE MARIAH'S JERK DIVA!

WINNER AND POPULAR --- MADONNA



(#8.)
MADONNA: songs and even her 12 no. 1 hit was not remembered and played today.
MARIAH CAREY: songs and no. 1 hit are always remembered and played anytime anywhere i go,and even a child knows the song of MARIAH CAREY specially hero,my all,always be my baby,one sweet day,we belong together etc.
(winner: MARIAH CAREY)


MADONNA'S HIT SONG VOGUE WAS FEATURED IN THE HIT MOVIE "THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA", HER SONGS WERE REMADE BY THE FAMOUS TV SHOW "GLEE". RIHANNA DID A RENDITION OF HER "VOGUE" IN FASHION AWARDS JUST LATELY, ELTON JOHN SANG MATERIAL GIRL AND LIKE A VIRGIN ON HIS TOUR JUST RECENTLY, JOSS STONE REMADE MADONNA'S RAY OF LIGHT. JAY-Z DID A RENDITION OF JUSTIFY MY LOVE TO JUSTIFY MY THUG,

SO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MADONNA'S SONGS NOT GETTING REMEMBERED AND PLAYED TODAY DORK!

AND CORRECTION, I DONT RECALL ANY MARIAH CAREY SONGS STILL BEING PLAYED TODAY. LIKE WHAT SONGS DID SHE SANG THAT ACTUALLY IS ABOUT FASHION, RELIGION, POLITICS? NONE. ALL HIGH SCHOOL CRAP.

CLEAR WINNER -- MADONNA




(#9.)
MADONNA: almost of her song are about material and sex
MARIAH CAREY: almost of her song are inspirable,and her gospel song spread the greatness of our GOD,she writes all her songs deep from his heart and inspire other singer and being their no. 1 influence in music specially in asia.
(winner: MARIAH CAREY)


-Honey, Madonna's songs like LIVE TO TELL, PAPA DONT PREACH, LIKE A PRAYER, RAY OF LIGHT, FROZEN, VOGUE, HEY YOU, PROMISE TO TRY,OH FATHER, CHERISH, EXPRESS YOURSELF.... ARE NOT ABOUT SEX AND MATERIALISM! IT'S CLEAR YOURE STUPID AND PATHETICALLY DROWNED ON MARIAH'S WORLD OF NUTS.


HUGE WINNER -- MADONNA




(#10.)
MADONNA: is the queen of pop,but she always hate MARIAH CAREY why cause she cant realize her self that shes incomparable to MARIAH CAREY
MARIAH CAREY: is the queen of RnB and the most beautifull voice in the history prove by the MTV 22 greatest voice countdown,MARIAH CAREY always loves his/her fans always and forever,MARIAH CAREY has a golden heart helping people suffering through his charity,GOD BLESS US...
(winner: MARIAH CAREY)


- Honey, sorry to pop your bubble but there is no recognition for Queen of RnB, sorry but it's true, but the Pop Queen title is definitely tied to MADONNA, proof that she gave a speech dedication to the Pop King MJ on the VMA's last year.


MADONNA: 0 wins and 1 tie
MARIAH CAREY 9 wins and 1 tie

MADONNA-
POP QUEEN
MTV-VMA ARTIST OF THE MILLNNIUM
MTV QUEEN AS "MADGESTY"
GUINNESS WORLD RECORD MOST SUCCESSFUL FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIME
QUEEN OF REINVENTION
SEXIEST MUSICAL ARTIST OF ALL TIME
BEST ACTRESS GOLDEN GLOBE



its clear that MARIAH CAREY is incomparable to MADONNA




CAUSE MADONNA IS THE QUEEN. mariah is a nobody in comparison.


Comment #17 by: markus on 04 Jul 2010, 22:00 UTC reply to this comment

A FORUM ON THE UNITED WORLD CHARTS.....RELIABLE ENOUGH TO BELIEVE

well what you said does make sense, afterall in 2008 year end, e=mc2 was listed with 1.9mil, but i dont think it sold enough to bring it to 2.5mil yet, so probably 2.2 to 2.3mil i guess.

and yes i calculated madonna's too (i started calculating artists' sales because i wanted to compare both of them anyway lol)


1980s: 71,000,000
- Madonna: 9,000,000
- Like A Virgin: 20,000,000
- True Blue: 21,000,000
- Who's That Girl: 4,500,000
- You Can Dance: 4,500,000
- Like A Prayer: 12,000,000

1990s: 70,500,000
- I'm Breathless: 5,500,000
- The Immaculate Collection: 25,000,000
- Erotica: 5,500,000
- Bedtime Stories: 6,500,000
- Something to Remember: 7,000,000
- Evita: 6,500,000
- Ray Of Light: 15,000,000

2000s: 37,300,000
- Music: 11,000,000
- GHV2: 6,000,000
- American Life: 3,500,000
- Remixed & Revisited: 1,000,000
- Confessions On A Dance Floor: 8,500,000
- I’m Going To Tell You A Secret: 1,000,000
- The Confessions Tour: 1,300,000
- Hard Candy: 3,500,000
- Celebration: 1,500,000

2010s: 400,000
- Sticky & Sweet Tour: 400,000 (thus far)

Total: 179,700,000

as for singles, i calculated up till celebration (revolver not included), its about 118million.

therefore adding up both album and single sales, would give around 298 million, which is roughly on track with the leaked ifpi top selling artists list in 2005 before confessions on a dance floor was released. i can't find the link anymore. they placed her at 4th position behind the beatles, michael jackson and elvis presley, with sales of 275 million. plus all albums from confessions and after, its already over 290 million. adding in singles sales, it would be slightly over 300 million.

guinness slightly deviates from calculated album sales. in 2001 madonna is listed as selling 120 million album in the records book. adding her sales thereafter, it would be around 160 million albums sold by now, an 18 mil difference from mine, but tallying her singles sales too, should also be around 290 million records sold.

so there you have it, madonna's sales is in the range of 280 to 310 million, distancing herself a 100 million in sales away from mariah carey. madonna, the true best selling female artist of all time.

i dont think mariah carey fans can turn this around, the difference is too huge and def jam agrees mariah only sold 175 million. all they can harp on now is mariah being given the best selling female artist of the millenium at the world music award in 2000, which is actually because madonna didnt reply to wma's letter, so they gave it to the next most deserving artist.

as for other artists, the only ones i calculated are (album sales only): britney spears 70 million, celine dion 160 million, michael jackson 205 million

Mariah Carey sold 232 million records (180 million albums sold plus 52 million videos,singles ect.) for only almost 2 decades

Mariah Carey use jesus greatness did though the lyric of her some many song and her unmeasured undeafeted incredible godess and angelic vocal talent from above and a greatfull mind to write and compose music to reach this 200+ million records

Madonna sold 257 million records worldwide (200 million albums sold plus 57 million videos,singles etc.) for a long time 3 decades, madonna did not sold 275 or 300 millions records (no female artist sold that records)

Madonna use her ancient pupularity,dark influence,large ass/vagina hole,plastic boobs and experemented body fuck by 500 men,sexual and verginity lyrics/song to reach this 200+ million records.

I'm sorry for madonna fans but this is the fact and the truth.

What the hell are talking about, are you sick about today and fast music, you are the only person behind your liar guinness record claimed that madonna sold 380 million record, oh my gosh what the fuck are saying, even Michael Jackson didnt surpass 380 million, guinness made a mistake of 200%, even you travel from fast to future no female artist sold that 380 million record, madonna sold 200+ million records only, why dont you count all of her 25 album million sold and they only 200+ million than your claiming with your liar guinness world record, and i think you dont know how to count a number that why you overprice you ancient idol.

yes madonna is the biggest selling female artist in the earth and mariah carey is only second but their records is very close together,but when in terms of singing,composing,songwriting,vocal influence,helping other people suffering,love to the fans,awards,god fearing etc. madonna is not the second,third,100th or 1000th to mariah carey because she is the bad example to us human.

please log to mariahdaily and see that defjam has announced mariah Carey's total albums/songles sold has amassed 175 million only. Madonna on the other hand according to Guinness has amassed 300 million albums/singles combined.

I'm sorry lambs but madonna is really way ahead than Mariah.

If Madonna's voice is crappy compared to mariah then how the hell did she manage to have 12 number 1 songs on the Charts? I mean even the biggest vocal belter like Patti labelle couldnt even catch with that and if music videos of Madonna were the reasons i cant even recall Live To tell, Who's That Girl, This used to be my playground as good videos, i mean those suck yet she totals 12 number 1 singles? Bottomline is Madonna's voice is toitally unique and amazing. she's a not belter but she definitely is a Singer.

heres a fact ..
in the 90s Mariah sold 130 albums sold worldwide.. and that was for only a decade .. according to XFactor mariah sold more than 200m worldwide(2008)..

so its a clear fact that mariah is the Artist Of The 90s

if we base on the sales Madonna wins.
if we base on the talents Mariah wins.

and the most important thing is
Madonna is an album seller
Mariah is a singer-songwriter .

tnx

Madonna is the clear winner all the way. talentwise Madonna edges mariah, how come? Madonna can dance and writes music beyond high school years like most crappy mushy songs of mariah.... actingwise? Mariah cant even act good on her music videos, while Madonna just earned recognition on the VMAs with 3 best female videos, a feat that mariah can only dream of, Madonna was also a Best Actress in the Golden Globe. and had performed in the Academy Award (and winning on it as well), a feat that mariah can never achieve.... saleswise? Guinnes as of 2010 has stated that Madonna is still the most successful female music artist of all time with a MASSIVE 300 million records sold worldwide (if you dont believe then google the site for Guinness and Madonna) and mariah according to her record label DEFJAM she has sold 175 million records worldwide as of 2010. the difference of 125 million is very hard to catch up to... a record that mariah can never do in 25 year career.

your wrong mariah has sold 250 million records, as stated by her main fan website, mariah daily and alot more. and how can you trust your own label when madonnas reportedly let out she sold over 350 million records when shes only sold 300???

so who is the biggest seller? its mariah
