From A SOCIALITES LIFE — Mariah Carey knows what’s up. She knows what she’s done, and how awesome her statistics make her, at life. So when a DJ mixed up a few Billboard numbers…well. Click on the jump, to see what happened!
Mariah Carey Likes To Keep The Facts Straight
As we mentioned yesterday, Mariah Carey abruptly ended an interview with a London radio station when the DJ misquoted how many albums she’s sold in her career. Easy there, Billboard Hot 100.
BBC Radio 1 DJ Reggie Yates had the gall to suggest Mariah had only sold 80 million albums worldwide. The queen of the “lambs” didn’t like that.
“Is that the right quote? I don’t know. I have to ask someone I don’t know if that is accurate,” she said. And hung up. Rraow!
Actually, she’s sold 165 albums worldwide but just correct him and laugh about it. Why so touchy? It might be the body shaper. That’s got to bind after awhile.
Mariah recently commented on her reputation as a “diva” (read: insufferable bitch).
“The actual definition is ‘a talented female singer.’ Definition two is ‘a difficult woman who is successful,’ I believe. So I take it as a compliment. I guess I am a diva in many ways! When it comes to certain things, yes, I can be difficult and a little bit rigid about what I want. Am I demanding? I don’t think I’m demanding enough,”
I doubt her employees feel that way. They must have weekly cry sessions and drink heavily.
