Madonna and Carrie Underwood in the steel cage!

Categories: American Idol, Madonna, Music

14426__cu_lTime goes by. So slowly. Time goes by. So slowly.

So slowly. So slowly. So slowly. So slowly. So slowly. So slowly. So slowly. So slowly. So slowly. So slowly. So slowly. So slowly. So slowly.

Oh, sorry, PopWatchers, I was just gettin’ into the groove listening to Madonna’s new Confessions on a Dancefloor, while simultaneously stressing out, wondering if Madge will debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s album chart this week. To get there, she’ll have to outsell American Idol Carrie Underwood’s Some Hearts, and let me just say, if there’s any justice in the music world, then gosh darn it, she will.

Then again, I really believed America was gonna do the right thing last May and crown Bo Bice as the rightful Season 4 champ over the Oklahoma farm girl, and you saw how that ended up.

Who do you think will triumph in this battle of the divas? The 22-year-old countrified Idol or the controversial pop star who’s old enough to be her mother? Weigh in now. Results (gulp) tomorrow.

    My $$ is on Madonna :)
    ( do international sales count?? I know M has it hands down for sure then! )

  • Wade

    Madonna is a DEFINITE shoo in for #1! No competition, sorry Ms. Underwood, you can hit it back to the farm and milk those cows! lol

  • William

    Madonna will probably sell ~50K more albums than Carrie. But I think that’ll change next week.

  • Jai

    Sales charts are in. Madonna beats Carrie 344k to 303k. Week 2 will be the big determinant. I wish Madonna would hurry up and release “Sorry” so she can kick Carrie’s butt back to Oklahoma.

  • Mario

    ooooh! –
    hmmmm… I think I will have to spend my whole paycheck buying CD gifts this year – guess whose..;).. LOL — at least this week anyway.. :)

  • stiffy

    But wait, Mariah released an album on Nov. 15th too! She could out sell them both…or does her ‘Ultimate Collection’ count on this survey? I’m so confused?

  • Jai

    Mariah came in at 4th with around 183k just 1k off Kenny Chesney in 3rd. She’s one top-selling bi-atch!

  • cm

    well if any1 has learned anything over the years,,whether they be madonba fans or not,,,mariah fans…whitney fans…rock fans..pop haters…any1..ANYONE…never..NEVER bet against MADONNA cuz YOU WILL LOSE!

  • Marty

    Madonna eneterd the charts at NUMBER 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Selling 350k…..

  • Ryan Quale

    I think it’s been preliminarily confirmed that Madonna CLEANED HOUSE with the likes of Carrie “cookie-cutter-country-star” Underwood. Thank God.

  • jon

    Madonna is one of the great artist of our time. She will be no. 1. She has way too many fan out there. Also I think all the singles out there needs to meet other singles on http://www.singlesPalace.com . This cool place is free to join and free to use to meet all the singles out there. Oh yeah im gonna go to their site and meet some chicks there and buy Madonna cd too.

  • Carlos A.

    Ok, Jon (poster below) WTF, hahaha, if u wanna spam just spam dont come up with that lame post, hahaha, BEST!!!
    Anyway, it seems that Jesus didn’t feel like taking the wheel, hahahaha.
    Madonna is opening in the place she deserves, Number freaking 1, with 344,066 counted so far BUT that number does not include all the AMAZON.COM or ITUNES where she has been number one for the whole weak with 3 diferent versions of COAD, so we can expect maybe a couple of thousands added to that number.
    Madonna just kicked butt :o )

  • Scott

    You have to give Carrie credit if she is that close at number 2. Not to say that she doesn’t pale in comparison to the mighty Madonna (whose CD I bought day one), but, I think Carrie’s sales can be commended. I agree with the post that said next week will be the true test though. I imagine Carrie falling quicker than Madonna, who I hope will stay at number one.

  • Christina

    Well Madonna should of won the battle considering she’s an icon. It would of been embarrasing if she didn’t. Carrie had the biggest debut by a new country artist though and is the darling of the country music scene so I don’t thin she will be heading back to the farm in Oklahoma anytime soon. As for Bo Bice being the rightful winner. Wait til you hear his new material. Everything you knew from Bo on AI is gone and his material is pure crap. It sounds like Clive Davis tied him to a chair and forced him to sing this stuff.

  • Carlos A.

    Of course that Carrie sold a lot, i mean, if from the AI factory and it has to sell a lot by default and please, u are not gonna tell me that with that name of a single she wasn’t going for the middle America folks. That was just tooooooo easy.
    Anyway, Madonna is on top, yay, lol

  • jason

    nov 15th was a great day for me with madonna, carrie, mariah and alanis morissette’s greatest hits coming out. i bought all 4, i’m just glad chicks rule this week. there’s room for everyone in my CD collection, but like when mariah entered at # 1 with “emancipation”, i’m glad to see madonna at #1 because both women were counted out after their last cd’s but this year they both kicked a$$!!! chicks rule

  • claudenorth

    I had no idea that Carrie Underwood’s cd came out the same day as Madonna’s…

  • Jai

    Also, it’s Carrie’s first CD. First CDs are always big because there is novelty involved; she was also an AI winner, not that it guarantees success, but it’s one of the two extremes. Ashanti came out with half a million on her first CD and dipped with her second and flopped with her third. Ashlee is facing a similar scenario. This is Madonna’s 14th CD. Not only can she release new material and fare well, she can still take on newcomers too.
    Carrie’s CD had to come out this week to take advantage of the CMAs. She couldn’t have come out last week or she would have been trampled by Kenny “is-he-or-isn’t-he” Chesney. We’ll see if her CD has the same longevity as Kelly.

  • O_ssie

    Carrie deserved #1. Its a shame that she wasnt handeld as well as Madonna\
    I mean Maddona’s song was the intro theme to CSI:Miami and CSI:New york like 2weeks ago.. and had a music video come out like 2-3 weeks before the debut
    CArrie still doesnt have a video released to the public..
    Carie deserves better :(

  • Ro

    Carrie is a million miles better than Madonna.
    Madonna is a joke, with little to no talen, I might add.
    NO idea how/why she is so big. But that’s another story.
    Madonna isn’t even comparable to the awesomeness that is Carrie.
    How can you even compare their voices?
    Madonna doesn’t even come close, vocally.
    It’s shame that Madonna beat Carrie.
    But in a world where crap singers like Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan are chart toppers, what do you expect?

  • John

    Carrie is a whiny, picthy, boring singer.

  • Carlie

    “Madonna is one of the great artist of our time.”
    Hahahaha good one! People, this is Carrie’s first cd, and might I add that her video isn’t even out yet which would help a lot. It also seems to me that none of you know anything about country music. Figures.

  • kay

    madonna’s good but heck CARRIES BETTER!!! I wish Carrie would have more publicity before though…cause if she did she would have kicked madonna’s butt!!! it wouldnt have been close…shes just been getting to all her publicity the comming week and more too come…

  • India

    Oh boo hoo! Carrie doesn’t have a video out yet! You know why? Becuase her handlers probably cant figure out what to do with her, since all she knows how to do is rock back and forth and stare at the lens with her deer-headlights blankness.

  • greg

    Carrie who? will be the question this time next year! Whereas Madonna the icon will be celebrating another number 1 album in another 10 years! Artists come and go, but Madonna stays! Always will!!! Deal with it haters :-)

  • NCaine

    I’m so sick of Madonna…she is what, 46 years old and humping the stage everywhere she goes in nasty crotch-hugging spandex outfits! I don’t want to see that! No one in their right mind should want to see that, or her gross camel toe all the time. STOP! Put some clothes on and make actual music…you know, songs that have lyrics and a chorus, instead of crappy techno songs where you sound like a computer that get old after you listen to them for 2 weeks. Yeah Hung Up was fun, but now that I’ve gotten over it and listened to the rest of the Cd, I’m bored. I won’t buy it…I did however buy Carrie’s Cd and its the best post-idol debut Cd that’s been made. Carrie will be a huge hit because the country world already is in love with her and she has crossover appeal too. And to everyone that is deluding themselves and thinking that Bo Bice should have won, or that he will do better than Carrie, i doubt 300,000+ people are going to rush out and buy his Cd…i sure wont.

  • eddie

    Carrie is boring as hell…I saw her on tour this summer…thats when I took a bathroom break. Madonna put her in her place. I’ll bet 10 years from now Carrie will be a soccer mom driving an SUV, and Madonna will still be producing hits.

  • fredric

    Nice to see that Madonna and her cameltoe still have some power. Now if we can get her to have more #1 singles to oust Mariah off that throne…

  • Mario

    LOL -
    The haters kill me.. I love it when things blow up in their face. I guess JESUS wasn’t interested in taking the wheel this time, probably grooving to Confessions on a Dancefloor; after all, he does like confessions doesn’t he? :)
    Come on, Confess… Madonna still kicks butt!

  • Bite Me

    Why the heck would you want to buy a Cd from a like 45-year-old slut?!?! Madonna WILL probably out sell Carrie, but, atleast Carrie doesn’t sound like a computer with a virus!! LMAO!! I crack myself up…
    But, Madonna does have some good songs. Carrie has only been “famous” for like, 7 months and look how well she’s doing!! I want to see one of y’all to go up and sing in front of hunderds of thousands of people! I want to know how you would feel if someone said that you were so stupid that you should TRY to walk in a straight line and that an ambulance would be waiting for you!! People have said that about Carrie!! I’m not saying that people haven’t said anything bad about Madonna, but it’s really low to have a prejudice for people just beacause they come from the south or mid-west!
    Now, hmmm… Carrie has been #1 on multiple charts for many different genres. Madonna has only been on the like, the “alternative” chart!
    Atleast us carebears are not obbsessed with lets-cut-off-my-circulation pants! And we don’t wear black leather corsets with our chests hang over!!
    If you have a strong opinion against mine, than BITE ME!!
