OMG we're talking about Madonna? WTFFF.
Anyway, Madonna was always going to get big first week sales - any artist with a strong fanbase will. And she will probably have decent sales while her first
single is out. Whether it will go beyond that will depend on just how good her other singles are. If her next track is subpar then people might realise that
they only like '4Mins' for Justin or Timbaland. I'm not counting her out though.
Mariah seems set to have a series of very strong singles from what we've heard and what the reports have said. The MariahVsMadonna obsessors like Perez
will only focus on the sales early on, but 'TEOM' sold as much as it did because it was on the chart for like, a year. That's what we want. Not a
high debut then quick to fall.
I can already see the drama though. Even if Madonna's album sells well then tanks, her fans are always going to have the WW advantage (especially
considering how much Europe seem to love her). We may as well just accept it. I'm just worried about the music itself and I want Mariah to do well on the
charts. I can do without the comparisons.
