2008 really does seem to be the year of the Divas; both Mariah Carey and Madonna, this week, have surpassed Elvis Presley in the Billboard chart record books.Securing her 18th #1 with 'Touch My Body' - which shot #15-#1 this week, Mariah Carey now stands solely in 2nd place as the artist with the most #1's on the chart, having been previously tied with Elvis at 17 entries. Carey's tally is second only to The Beatles 20 chart toppers.
Meanwhile, the rocketing of Madonna's latest effort '4 Minutes To Save The World' from #68-#3 has meant the 49 year old has overtaken Presley as the artist with the most Top Ten charting singles - which now stands at 37. {Source}
Congratulations to both ladies, it really is a major achievement in each case. Something tells me Mariah may likely crank out her 19th ,and possibly 20th, chart topper from her forthcoming 'E=MC²' record. I guess time will tell. {Note to Janet's people: What the hell is going on?!}
Any thoughts?
