HDD UPDATE : Paramore is #1 !!! :)
ITS A STATUS QUO as far as the Female Artist with the Most # 1 Album : Barbra with 8, Madonna with 7 and Mariah with 6.
Must be very frustrating for Sony as they missed #1 by 8,000+- units and very frustrating for Mariah (she shoudnt have moved her release date, then again Michael Jackson would have still pommered her miniscule debut numbers, thus she really had no chance of being #1 at all)
On this Madonna has the very good chance of tying Barbra on Madonnas next release. While Mariah has to await another 2 years to even tie Madonna
The heavens must love Madonna as she even upped 2 notches to #7!! (as she was #9 in the last % tally).
Let us see Billboard tomorrow, am sure it will have the same positioning.
Final HDD tally -
1. PARAMORE 184,547 BRAND NEW EYES
2. BARBRA STREISAND 176,663 LOVE IS THE ANSWER
3. MARIAH CAREY 172,742 MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL
4. BREAKING BENJAMIN 136,036 DEAR AGONY
5. ALICE IN CHAINS 128,473 BLACK GIVES WAY TO BLUE

UK UPDATE : MADONNA ties ELVIS PRESLEY..!!!Madonna matches Elvis’ 11 top-selling albums in UK
Agence France-
LONDON – Madonna secured her 11th No. 1 album in Britain on Sunday when her greatest hits collection "Celebration" shot to the top of the charts -- equaling Elvis Presley's record.
The pop diva's collection of 36 hits spanning her lengthy career knocked Muse's "The Resistance" from the No. 1 position in its debut week, the Official UK Charts Company said.
The singer has now matched Elvis Presley's record of 11 No. 1 albums for a solo artist in Britain, and is four behind The Beatles who hold the all-time record of 15 top-selling albums, according to the company, which compiles the weekly rundown.
Madonna also becomes the most successful female solo artist of all time in Britain with the most weeks at the top of the album charts -- 29 -- the most No. 1 singles -- 13 -- and the most chart doubles for topping the singles and album charts simultaneously - four, the company said.
Madonna and Mariah at the Billboard Album Charts
Let us gear for an exciting battle at the Billboard Album Charts!!
Its going to be great battle of the remaining divas at the Billboard charts as Madonna's "Celebration" cd compilation goes head to head with Mariah's "Memoirs..."
Both cds will be released on Sept. 29 as FINALLY confirmed by HitsDailyDouble...
vs.
this historic week is important to both artist. If Madonna tops the chart, she will tie Barbra S as having the most #1 albums (with eight) by a Female Artist. If Mariah tops the charts, she will tie Madonna for second (with seven) ... but if Miss Barbra tops the chart, then is she by her lone self with 9 #1 albums... INTERESTING!!! :)
