kelly what is mariah;s phrase because i love it but i have forgotten it :( she says it when something is hot etc

Hot Tamale. :P

Yesh! That is it!! It's Hot Tamale kelly :P

This whole thread has really annoyed me.

 

All it was the news that the Guiness Book of Records states that Mariah is the now the all-time biggest selling female artist.

 

It's not a 'we all hate Madonna thread'. The two mods of this forum are both big Madonna fans.

Neither of us said 'woo! I'm glad the baby-stealing b**ch is now #2' or anything like that. No other Mariah fans said that either or anything really negative either.

 

I don't understand why everything has to be a competition. It was news about Mariah posted in the Mariah forum. She has broken a record set by an artist who has been making music longer. It doesn't matter that it's Madonna - it could have been Celine, Whitney or Britney - the Mariah fans are just happy that Mariah is breaking records, no matter who used to hold them.

 

I don't understand why that leads to arguments.

Oh and 'Mimi' was the second biggest album of the 2005 worldwide, second only to 'X&Y'. Both records had sold over 8 million worldwide in that calendar year alone.

Also according to Soundscan Mimi has sold 1.9m this year, which takes her total to 10m (well 9.9). So I definately think she has passed the 10m mark.

 

Oh and I agree with everything you said Tim, i've been saying it for ages, some people are really immature for their age. Kalen (who is only what? 15? 16?) understands that it's pathetic and pointless to argue about it, yet someone in their 20's doesn't? Utterly dire.

No, Greenday had 2005's best selling album - It sold 7.986.000 copies according to mediatraffic - They go by sales rather than shipments in 92.5% of the worlds market, so Greenday would've sold over 8.5 million in 2005 when you add the 7.5%.

 

Coldplay are second, 50 Cent is third and Mariah is forth with 6.972.000, so nearly 7.5 million in 2005.

See but these figures don't seem right either. I've read different sales (not shipment) figures from VERY reliable sources like Billboard and MTV. Which had Coldplay at 1 and Mariah at 2 (or in the US alone, Mariah at 1 and 50 Cent at 2).

 

Every site is saying a different thing so I tend to use all the charts as loose guides and not believe one over all others.

Mariah DID have the 2nd best selling album, and she also toppled 50 Cent with about 3 weeks of the year left to spare, those were good times, eh? :lol:

Sorry Josh, I didn't mean you either.

I wonder if Mariah's follow up will be the best selling of 2007 :o

Well, this has all gone a little out of hand really :(

 

What i think the main issue here is, some people dont know what their talking about -_-

 

Madonna has no doubt sold much much more than Mariah, in the UK!

 

I love both artists, but i think Madonna Leads with Albums Sales, whereas Mariah has masses more Single sales :wub:

But what most of you are forgetting is how long Madonna has been singing! She's been singing and releasing stuff a lot more time then Mariah

But she also has less Studio albums, if i remember Correctly :blink:

She has around the same I think, as Madonna has a few soundtracks too, which are counted as her albums.

I think the record was to do with global sales. No-one here would pretend that Mariah has outsold Madonna in the UK - Madonna is I think the fifth best-selling singles artist ever in the UK and Immaculate Collection and True Blue sold over 4 and 2 million copies. The UK is not Mariah's biggest market.

 

That said, this whole thread has got tiresome. So I'm locking it.
