July 8, 200718 yr Author 4th: Mariah Carey: 116 Points. Voted for by Skizzo, Davidobowie, Jark, Orlando, Mikal, Callum, Kieran, and Strawberry Bounce; highest position 1st (Kieran) http://us.ent2.yimg.com/musicfinder.yahoo.com/images/yahoo/island/mariahcarey/0701_mariah_carey_a.jpg Mariah Carey is a 36 year old singer and sometime-actress from Long Island, New York. Carey's self-titled debut album, on Columbia records, sold 9x platinum in the US and Carey became the first ever artists to have her first five singles all top the Hot 100. Third record Music Box, released in 1993, was eventually certified Diamond, an incredible achievement for Carey who was still a releatively 'new' artist. Fifth album Day Dream also achieved Diamond certification in 1995, and is her biggest-selling to date, with an estimated 20+ million units sold worldwide. 1997's Butterfly saw Mariah collaberate with names such as Diddy and the result was a more overtly-sexual album in both image and sound. After leaving Columbia in 2001, Carey suffered a breakdown which was much publicized in the press. 2002's Charmbracelet attracted poor reviews and even worse sales, selling just Platinum in the US, and becoming her lowest-selling studio album. It was not until 2005's The Emancipation Of Mimi that Mariah once again became a front runner in the music scene. This album, one of my all-time favourites, contains collaberations with Jermaine Dupri and sold an incredible six million units in the US, and double that worldwide, becoming Mariah's biggest-selling record in 10 years. Now back in the studio with Dupri, her eleventh studio album is expectexd to drop sometime this year, probably in November.
July 8, 200718 yr Author I think Mariah should definitely have been a contender for the top spot. Not many other artists in this chart have released 10 albums. Im not a huge fan but The Emancipation Of Mimi is amazing :wub:
July 8, 200718 yr My predictions were fairly accurate, although I was way off with Destiny's Child being top 5! Nice to see Mary J Blige so high ^_^ Please tell me Justin's not number 1! Edited July 8, 200718 yr by Orlando
July 8, 200718 yr Author Im really glad about Mary J Blige and Kelis being so high tbh ^_^ Though I think Mary J should perhaps be at the top, she's achieved so much in her career B) Top 3 coming tomorrow!
July 8, 200718 yr Aww I'm disappointed Mariah wasn't higher. I guess it's Justin, Beyonce and Rihanna top 3 then. Beyonce SHOULD be #1, but I have a feeling Rihanna has more fans on here than B does.
July 11, 200718 yr Author 3rd: Justin Timberlake: 123 Points. Voted for by Joao Filipe, Unfaithful Jack, Simon, Rooney, Blade 699, Davidobowie, Callum, and Kieran; highest position 1st (Rooney) http://www.frontrowking.com/concerts/justin%20timberlake/justin39.jpg Justin Timberlake is a 26 year old singer, actor and dancer from Tennessee. He rose to prominence ten years ago as the front man of boy band *NSYNC and released his own solo album in 2002. Justified sold 7 million copies world-over and featured the hit singles 'Cry Me A River' and 'Rock Your Body'. Justin took a 3 year break to return the studio and in 2006 emerged with a brand new suit and an equally new album! FutureSex/LoveSounds has matched the incredible success of it's predecessor by shifting 7 million copies worldwide to date, and is still selling. 5 singles have so far been taken from the album; the latest, 'LoveStoned', is on course to make the UK top 10 despite being available only to download. Justin's success looks set to continue, as does the inflation of his already huge ego. Edited July 11, 200718 yr by Just Jark
July 11, 200718 yr Justin :D I have a feeling Rihanna is gonna get #1, she doesn't deserve it though. I'm rooting for Beyonce to win now, and really, she SHOULD because she's produced a lot better tracks than Rihanna has. I think the question is who has more fans on BJ tho, B or Ri Ri?
