Platinum Records and Huge Hits

While I was ranting to my mother about not know what to write about she told me about this article she read in the Sunday Parade paper.

When I say Platinum Records and Huge Hits a few names come to mind like… The Beatles, The King- Elvis Presly, Earth Wind and Fire, Frank Sinatra and….. Mariah Carey?

Well I dont know how many of you use AOL radio but Mariah Carey has her own channel…

The article in Parade magazine is an interview with Mariah Carey. Mariah Carey was discovered at the age of 18 with an amazing 8-octave singing range so its no wonder she has sold more than 160 million records worldwide and charted 17 No. 1 singles—tied with Elvis Presley and three fewer than the Beatles. Carey is currently signed with Island/Def records and has made an incredible comeback with her multiplatinum album The Emancipation of Mimi. Mariah Carey isnt my favorite singers every but how could you not love Heartbreaker or Always be my baby or Shake it off. Lets face it… Mariah Carey isnt going anywhere for a long time.  For more on the article about Mariah Carey Click here!

I didnt realize how many people are actually on the platinum list. Its amazing… you forget about some people sometimes so just to recape about how awesome music is… you can find the top selling artists of all time here.

As for new music… I think we should all take a look at what music was… and appreciate where the music of today has come from… So…. I think we should all pick an artist from ”The Most Awesome Musicians Ever” list. Enjoy!

  1. I looked at the list of the top selling albums. Some I could believe but I never thought Mariah Carey would be on the list next to Elvis!!

    Personally I love Mariah’s voice and I still cannot get over the fact that she has an 8 octave voice. It’s incredible.

  2. I’m sorry but I am not a big fan of Mariah Carey. “Touch my Body” just doesn’t strike me as worthy of any platinum artist.

    However, this is an awesome list and I was surprised by a few of the names on there
