The two leading ladies of pop music beat the records in the Billboard charts this week, reported Billboard.com.
Mariah Carey bumped Elvis Presley and moved into second place on the list of artists for the most No.1s on the charts. Her single Touch My Body went from 15th to 1st position on the Billboard Hot 100, making it her 18th chart-topper. Carey’s album, E=MC2 might equal the Beatles’ record of 20 songs in first place.
Presley also lost his title for the most songs in the top 10, when Madonna moved past him with her 37th song, 4 Minutes, to hit the top 10. This single, which was in collaboration with Justin Timberlake, was the 68th to hit third place.
Madonna and Carey can attribute some of this success to sales made from downloads.
