5. mariah

mariah pops back onto the radar this week, swooping in for janet to take over snl...i'm actually watching right now as i pack to head to boston. yes, it's true she has no acting skills to speak of, but you have to love her because she is so absurd and totally unashamed! she's getting props for looking mad skinny on tv, but i'm not pleased with these tracks from the album! she had better have a "we belong together" on the b-side!

5. britney

tv also gives britney a boost and her first appearance on the divameter!!! way to go, brit! i'm so pleased she's getting her life together, with her rehearsals on how you met your mother, her un-deranged shopping, and most importantly, clean weaves. and in true diva style, as a result of her, a bunch of people are getting fired from the ucla medical center for snooping in her records. i'm sure she didn't call for it...but only a diva could cause a round of mass firings....way to go!

4. madonna

madonna shoots up a spot this week due to her promo pics for the new single, shot of the album cover, and general hotness. i'm really feeling the new record and can't wait to hear the whole album. unfortunately, i cannot say the same for mariah's upcoming set...let's hope that mimi steps her game up to match madge (sad lamb)!!!

2. beyonce

beyonce was missing last week, and she must have gotten a tip off! she reappeared in top form for this divameter, on the set of her new film. even the dock for "film w/o talent" didn't phase this diva, whose new venture along with yet another film venture this summer, throw her into the spotlight.

2. rihanna

tink shares the second spot with bee this week. she gets bonus points for not being overexposed. i like how she knows how to keep a good balance. promote when you have to promote, then sit your ass down. she also gets mad props for chillin with her boo chris brown. divas only have the best boos! best believe!

1. janet

janet claims the throne, yet again. she gets the biggest boost from her #1 soundscan debut. however, her incredibly strong promo push reminds us all why she is currently the h.d.i.c. i dare you to find a newsstand without her pic on three mag covers....that's just how it's done! but if this flu doesn't subside...don't expect to see her at #1 on april 1!

i'll check you all on tuesday. have to go to boston today! peace xoxo
