No Surprise Here

Filed under: Music Minute > Mariah Carey

mimmi__opt11.jpg

Mariah has the #1 album in America this week, despite failing to come in at the top spot in the U.K. She only came in at #3, behind the Kooks in first place..

Though official numbers won't come in until Wednesday night, it's projected that Carey's E=MC2 debuted to a pretty massive approximately 475,000 copies sold.

The album had been projected to sell around 500,000 units.

Congrats, Mimi!

Let's see how well Madonna does her first week!

    I love mariah but this has to be one of her worst cds just ahead of through the rain. To much hype n not enough real tracks on it!! She's gonna need to do hella remixes to fix this mielda!!!!

  25. Danny says – reply to this
    25

    Good for Her! The Album is one of the most flawlessly put together records Ive heard in YEARS!

    You can HATE, but the album really is good, its not one of those records you can just play and bop to, you HAVE to sit and read along with the lyrics — the stories are there to be told….and if you are going to critique, you MUST read through the lyrics with the song and then talk…but NOT til then — the album is a GEM!

    I DOWNLOADED E=MC2 AND I HONESTLY HAVE TO SAY IT IS THE WORST ALBUM I HAVE EVER HEARD. IT'S JUST BLAND AS EVERY SINGLE SONG SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE NEXT. YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE PRETTY RETARDED AND TONE DEAF TO ENJOY HOW BORING IT IS. I WOULD RESENT GIVING MY MONEY TO THIS MONKEY FACED SAUSAGE LEGGED BITCH WHO TREATS HER FANS LIKE SHIT.

    If I'm not mistaken, this will be Mariah Carey's best first-week (in terms of album sales). Half a million copies sold in its first week, that's impressive — the album is already Gold! Congratulations, Mariah! I'm more into rock music, so I've never bought a Mariah Carey album, but after hearing "Touch My Body" I decided to buy the album on iTunes and I must say… it's fantastic!

    Perez, you are pitiful. You cannot stand Mariah's moe popular in USA than grandma. Take your pills, you need them. Mariah was/is/will be always more successful than the old madge.

    "She only came in at #3, behind the Kooks in first place.."

    Ok, i'd like to point out the number 3 does not come after the number 1.
    So, i hear you cry, who is at number 2? well in fact it is Leona… but Perez cant mention her anymore, i think that whole "dead to me" thing is starting to look a bit stupid, im sorry but come on, you a drop in the ocean in terms of promotions and marketing Perez

    Debuting at number 3 on sales of 34,769, E=MC² is Mariah Carey's highest charting album since 1997 in the UK, when Butterfly fluttered to number two on first week sales of 28,758.

    weren't you doggin' on her big time like a week ago?? and now you are all like "congrats MIMI" after she proved you wrong. you are OOC. if you kiss anyone's ass it should be mariah-i used to be a madge fan but nowadays she is so out of touch-at least mimi keeps it real-love you mariah!

    This album is INSANELY GOOD. I loved her previus album but I love this one more. There is only one song I kind of dont like, but it's bc it is too slow.

    I dont understand why in this website it is all about Mariah v. Madonna. Isn't their music kind of different?

    Why all the hatred against Mariah?

    Congrats to Mariah, her biggest selling first week ever. Although a bit underwhelming?

    And for madonna, I think her album is miles better, so I don't care how it does in sales. It probably won't sell as much in the first week in the US, but rule the rest of the world. It will be a big hit, whatever which way.
