Mariah, Madonna, Leona Make Billboard Chart History

2008 has turned out to be a great year for these 3 ladies; Mariah, Madonna and Leona. Not only their albums and current singles are doing great in the charts, but all of them are now/ soon-to-be record holders in the Billboard chart history.

According to Billboard.com:

Two leading ladies, Mariah Carey and Madonna, leapfrog over Elvis Presley in the Billboard charts record book this week. As expected, Mariah Carey moves past Elvis Presley and into sole possession of second place for most No. 1s in the rock era, as “Touch My Body” soars 15-1 on the Billboard Hot 100 to become her 18th chart-topper. With her album “E=MC2″ yet to hit retail, Carey might equal the Beatles’ record of 20 No. 1s before her set runs its course.

Presley will also be nudged from his standing as the artist with the most top 10s in the rock era, as Madonna surpasses him with her 37th top 10, “4 Minutes.” The track, which features Justin Timberlake, clocks a 68-3 jump. Previous to the establishment of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958, the industry standard chart was the Best Sellers in Stores tally, where Presley scored his first 12 top 10s.

Elvis Presley might just roll from his grave to do a comeback! :D

On the other hand, X-Factor champ Leona Lewis is set to debut at no. 1 on the US album chart this week, the first British woman in history to achieve this feat.

It was the first time a British female solo artist had topped the chart since Kim Wilde went to No. 1 in 1987 with a cover of the Supremes’ “You Keep Me Hangin’ On.”

Charice Pempengco in OPRAH

After her successful stint in Paul O’Grady Show in London, Charice is back in the Philippines to finish her debut album under Star Records. Her album will be then launched abroad before releasing it to the Philippines. With that being said, the album should be very well produced and should contain original material to sell. But it’s still quite a bummer that she refused some international offers for Star Records, isn’t it?

But the BIGGER news is, Charice will be on Oprah this coming May! You probably know it by now but she will be featured on the said show along with nine other talented kids. The episode is titled: The World’s Smartest Kids!”

Another to-watch-out-for!

Watch the Oprah teaser here:

Uhmh… based on the 2 seconds clip showing Charice, let me guess the song she sang: You’ll Never Walk Alone. She sang I Have Nothing.
