Madonna & Mariah Tag-Team Elvis’ Records

The digital releases of Mariah Carey’s “Touch My Body” and Madonna’s “4 Minutes” has meant that two records previously set by Elvis Presley are set to leave the proverbial building this coming week. Both songs received enough digital downloads to put Carey on track to collect her 18th No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and score Madonna a comfortable position in the Top 10. That will push Carey to second place among artists with the most No. 1s in the rock era. (The record is held by the Beatles with 20; Carey is currently tied with Elvis Presley.) Madonna’s new track will be her 37th Top 10 hit (beating out Elvis’ previous set record of 36) and put her in the position as the artist with the most Top 10 hits in music history. Your move, Josh Groban.
