Mariah beat Madonna ! or the other way around …

Madonna and Mariah Carey are set to slug it out this week on U.S. iTunes, as both the pop dames’ lead singles off each of their forthcoming LPs became available.
Mariah got the upper hand, as “Touch My Body” was thrown onto the online music store sometime Monday afternoon (along with pre-orders of E=MC²), while Madge’s “4 Minutes” went up shortly before midnight, as did pre-orders of Hard Candy.

Mariah’s new song reached number 1 on iTunes while Madonna’s song reached #10.

Congrats Mariah !
Mariah Carey touch body

Here is what a so called expert said about this, but in my world if you are #1 you won !

You cannot really compare Madonna’s song with Mariah’s because….

- If you look at the complete iTunes singles chart, Madonna is in there 3 times with the same song. All together, she would be much higher than #10. Mariah is only on there once.

- Carey’s song has been on the radio for more than a month while Madonna’s only a week. It is expected that Touch My Body will have a strong first week and go down while Madonna’s will gain airplay and rise on iTunes.

- Madonna’s was available Tuesday while Mariah’s Monday.

- Madonna’s song is #1 on Amazon downloads.

- Also, look at the complete album chart on iTunes, Madonna is also there twice (#3, #22) with the same album, which counted as one, would probably take her higher than #3.

He might be right though !
