Let it go. Madonna is not more successful than Mariah anymore. 

Madame X was a Top 5 worldwide while Caution was a Top 50, demand for Mariah music WW is much lower than Madonna new stuff and saying otherwise is just bad-faith

Demand WW for Madonna concert is way bigger too than Mariah, it's not even comparable, Mariah is more on the size of big theatres while Madonna is somewhere between arenas and stadiums.. No doubt Mariah is a legend and one of the big but Madonna is at a different level, she's part of a small amount of BIG ones

Madonna has more dedicated/bigger fanbase outside US but after week 2 or 3 they are on pair since both left charts instantly.

So all the old classic albums that were big hits are not successful anymore (or remembered) because of their low streaming numbers? :rip:

 

The majority of Mimi's streams are probably coming from the USA. She's not global like Madonna.

 

all old classic albums get great streaming results, except Madonna

Madame X was supported by 2 great young artists from the stream era, Maluma and Anitta.

I agree, releasing an album worse than the other since 2008, she really is on a unique level.

Except you forgot to mention the part about those young artists only being huge in south America.

She wasn't exactly catering to the public either with Nutcracker samples.

That's not true in a lot of cases, and you know it.

Oh, I don't know. Mariah's been releasing dreadful albums since the early 00's, and that's quite a feat.

The US is the third biggest country in the world, and there isn't much diversity when it comes to music

This flagrant lie

This MadonnaxMariah war is actually kinda amusing in the absence of an ongoing Britney/Xtina thread

Actually Rebel Heart was an improvement from MDNA

So Hip hop, R+B and (c)Rap aren't THE domineering genres of music in the US?

No ones making excuses. At the end of the day Madonna reigns supreme, and remains the most influential, iconic and bigger artist of the two due to her worldwide classics, epic tours, and generally being a trailblazer.  She also broke down so many barriers for woman, as well as advocating for the queer community at a time when it wasn't cool.

 

Mariah is known worldwide (mostly) for her Christmas ditty, and there's no shame in that, so embrace it. :foxaylove2:

 

Facts can't be erased, no matter how many daily streaming lists you throw at us.

Mitski, a Japanese artist who is inspired by Mariah

 

 

Anitta, Brazilian artist

Grimes, Canadian artist 

 

 

Leigh-Anne, British artist

 

 

I could spend hours here citing various artists who are influenced by Mariah, from Beyoncé to Ariana Grande, so don't try to summarize her legacy to Christmas.

So TEOM only pulls 500k daily streams?
 

You would think the way the Mariah fans gush about it being such a success that it would perform a lit bit better, don't you think?

 

Look at how all these pop girl albums perform on a daily basis:

 

 

Now compare that to the Emancipation of Mimi.

 

 

 

Are you comparing a 2005 album with albums released in the streaming era? I thought at least our intelligence was level.

Mariah fluctuated and depends on viral tracks on tik tok. There was a time when she got to 4 million streams daily last year and earlier this year... but that has faded. Much like Madonna, Mariah is also on the same level as 2019/20. The  overall catalogue increases are almost non-existant... maybe 3-5% annually which is smaller than the average spotify gain. 

4 million on the 26th, without The Weeknd or Marvel movie, just 100% your own catalog

No, because your post makes no sense. If Madonna had any power in making Popular hit, her latest singles would've been up there with its numbers.

 

Popular is Weeknd's only 27th biggest song on Spotify, it's Madonna's #1 by a mile, and she will never top it with any new or old song. It will remain her biggest song on streaming. 

 

This!

Caution is not only more acclaimed and fan favorite album, but it also charted 1 week longer on B200. MX was saved by tour bundles, without them her first week sales would've been below Caution's. 

Caution also has 4 solo songs over 10m, 3 of them over 20m. MX has ONE song over 10m at 11,7m.

Lowest streamed song on Caution has 5,2m streams while on MX 3,9m That also shows you how much people listened to those 2 albums in full.

 

 

Let it go. Madonna is not more successful than Mariah anymore. 

 

It's funny how Madonna fans want to make MX a commercial success, just because it sold a little more than Caution.

 

At the end of the day, both are within what is expected for two veteran artists with more than 30 years of career.

 

The only difference is the fact that Caution is better than anything by Madonna since 2008.

I'm living for the dragging and the fact that that one Madonna stan has to post pics of a concert while people are entering... and claim it's empty. 

 

I agree... They only used 1 section out of an entire stadium there... which probably still held 8k-10k. 

 

As someone said, Mariah's live entertainment statistics improve actually. Just 8 months ago she finished a 16 dates tour which grossed $30 million in revenue. (It was her biggest tour by revenue in regards to individual show gross). Not too shabby for the Xmas lady. Her current residency show The Celebration of Mimi will end with 24 shows, but twice the gross than the 50-dates residency Infinity from 2015-2017. 

 

Improvement wherever we see. She's about to embark on a 2 concert streak in Brazil and will also return to China for 2 stadium shows later this year. #activ

 

I can concede that Madonna is eons bigger than Mariah in touring and bigger in albums sales and currently even bigger in streaming. I can also concede that Madonna is eons bigger in Europe and South America. 

 

I find it so odd that so many Madonna stans in contrast have to resort to inuendo when discussing Mariah, often claiming the woman never had a hit, is unknown, has never done anything... and still it's so odd that she sold 150 million albums and over 100 million singles worldwide and became one of the top 3 biggest female entities in music in the world. So weird how someone who's always flopped like that and only has bad, unlistenable music... found an audience so big and for decades that she became a trailblazer herself. 

 

But that is so unthinkable for a Madonna fan to admit and I think some lack the capacity to even understand that.

it is easily between Cher's 'Believe' and Tina Turner's 'Private Dancer.' Neither Madonna or Mariah

 

both of those ladies quite literally came from the dead when the world had not been paying attention to them in forever. at least Madonna and Mariah had hits in the 5 or so years beforehand and still had the publicity and machine backing them
