Originally posted by Praise Mariallah All I Want For Christmas ('94) has sold more than any song by Madonna though, so who cares about chart peaks if it's not translating into sales? Music Box sold more than any Madonna album ('93). That's what it means to go "solely by numbers". You act like Mariah doesn't have a bunch of records on her own? That same year (93/94) she got the record for most sold out dates in Asia. You obviously don't know what a "peak" is. Statistically, she had the bigger peak worldwide. Celine, Whitney, Britney, etc all had bigger peaks than Madonna worldwide too numbers wise. Just the way the cookie crumbled

Mariah

Do you have a credible source to support that claim? Cause its sales in the US are around 2.5 million and I can bet the US is the market where that song has sold the most, since that's a common thing when it comes to Mariah's accolades AND Madonna has songs with similar numbers, and bigger ones worldwide.

ANYWAY, Mariah might have the bigger peak in the US, for sure. Worldwide I would say it's definitely Madonna. And when it comes to memorable songs, iconic moments, influence and overall presence in the music industry on a WORLDWIDE scale then we know there's only one winner and it's Madonna.

But really who needs "peaks" when you have the most successful and impressive career EVER by a female? When you are selling out stadiums all around the world +30 years into your career? When you are credited as the most influential and iconic female entertainer EVER?

Definitely not Madonna.

An essay, just to post a compilation effort (not an actual album, crafted from scratch with actual singles and stuff).

You'd have to a special kind of delusional to argue that Madonna was bigger than Mariah anywhere in the 90s. As I said earlier Celine, Whitney, and Britney all had bigger peaks

And cry @ the trying of AIWFC sales. Rolland, sister it's sold 2,000,000 in Japan alone NOT including digital sales. And sold more than 1 million just in the UK (where it is one of the best selling singles of all time, also more than any of your faves). Maybe the 2.5 US figure (I know the US is not apart of the world according to you, but still) you've got in your head is digital sales

The rest of the post is irrelevant to the topic as per usual.

Care to link me to those credible sources? Cause you all mention them nonstop yet you fail to provide the evidence.

It apparently has ~5.8 million certified. I wonder where it has sold the 8.2 million remaining for those claimed 14 million when her strongest markets and the biggest markets overall are already included in the lesser figure. I can't help but to think about stans inflating sales but of course I could be wrong.



You'd have to be a special kind of delusional being to argue that Mariah has ever been bigger than Madonna in the '80s (albums, singles, videos, impact, iconic moments, etc). But of course, you're always up for the challenge.

About AIWFCIY's sales, see my response to the other lamb. Hope you can provide an actual answer with evidence to prove me wrong. The fact that you always have to bring "my other faves" into your responses to me is so pathetic, childish and comical but you do you bae.

Originally posted by YourMadGesty Why are the lambs only focused on chart success? A peak includes GLOBAL massive media coverage, iconography, touring success, etc. Which Madonna had during her peak.

Originally posted by wanderlust mimi is a one hit wonder to me. I only hear her xmas song. she is not very talked about outside of the US and most non english speaking countries. and if you use the xmas receipts, then same can be said about "i got a feeling" or "Gangnam style"
