Elvis is really rolling in his grave right now.
Both Mariah and Madonna have beaten the crap out of him, on the charts this week.
Mariah just got her 18th #1-hit with 'Touch My Body'
Finally surpassing The King.
Making her second only to the Beatles who have 20.
Elvis Presley has 17.
Madonna remains at 4th, with 12.
And Whitney remains at 5th, with 11.
Interestingly, 'Touch My Body' has none of the melismic wailing and dog-whistle notes which she's known for. In its place, is the New Mariah. One that tells a story with a vulnerable whisper here and a sexy coo there.
She quipped
"For me, in my mind the accomplishment is just that much sweeter. In terms of my ethnicity, always feeling like an outsider, always feeling different ... for me it's about saying, 'Thank you Lord, for giving me the faith to believe in myself when other people had written me off."'
Actually, this Black sista is really the Fairest of them All. LMAO
"Touch My Body" is the first single off of Carey's upcoming album "E=MC2," due out April 16.

On a less significant note, Madonna, the perennial rival to the other Miss M, has her messy-and-not-so-nice song '4 Minutes' making it into the Top 5, surpassing the King for the most Top 40 hits with her 37th.
This song, in my opinion doesn't even deserve to be in the Top 100. It stinks. It's a messy arrangement of a melange of sounds.
How in the world she managed to bribe her way in, beats me. Undeserving.
Still, what's achieved is achieved.
Her album 'Hard Candy' is out this month as well.
So three cheers to the 2 Little Miss M's.
