As we told you days ago….
Mariah Carey has broken records with her newest single, Touch My Body, which has just gone to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart.
The single marks Mooriah's 18th hit song to reach #1, surpassing Elvis Presley's previous record of 17 hits at #1. The only other performers she has left to beat out are the current record holders, The Beatles, with 20 hits at #1.
On the Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart, Touch My Body has netted a record-setting 285,000 debut, while also reaching over 115 million listeners on the Hot 100 Airplay.
Coming up for Mariah, is her new album, E=MC² which hits record stores on April 15th.
And then, like the talented Miss Dolly Parton, Mimi will be a musical mentor to the finalists on American Idol on April 16th. She will also appear on AI's second annual “IDOL Gives Back” two-hour tv special on April 9th.
Also breaking records this week is Madonna with her single 4 Minutes. Madonna has now surpassed Elvis Presley with the most Top 10s in the rock era, with 4 Minutes marking her 37th Top 10 hit.
Madonna's increase in the Hot 100 has been attributed to download sales, making her #2 on the Hot Digital Songs chart.
This is the first time since 2003, when the Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital sales, that the two titles debut simultaneously on the Hot Digital Songs with more than 200,000 downloads each.
America still loves the divas!
