I just explained it

Of course it didn't "linger"--- nobody cared. Madonna's relevance is/was considered over and her albums sales ceased to matter. A New York Times article even said her career was in its "final stages." It's the same reason why Paul McCartney's sales, whether good or bad, don't matter.

Mariah, on the other hand, still matters to the current pop music environment as we know it. That's why it's a big deal if she flops.

Anyhow, let's stop talking about Madonna in an Eminem thread :lol
