No Surprise Here

Filed under: Music Minute > Mariah Carey

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!

      "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

    66. Frankie G says – reply to this


      66

      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.

      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.

      I hate Mariah.

      The kooks are the best band to ever hit the Earth and they DESERVE their number one spot because they make good music. You don't see them plastered all over the TV and the media to gain attention, People acctually like them for their musical talent.

      …Unlike some other celebrities out there…

      85

      Why do you hate on Mariah so much???? Didn't go #1 in Britian - who cares. I heard Leona Lewis' album sucked..let that beyotch go #1 in England. She might be her own video ho…but Mariah's been around for a long time, can sing her ass off AND she writes her own shit. Her lasr album was huge and her best ever as far as I'm concerned and I haven't been a fan of 'ol chipmunk cheeks for years. Madonna or Leona Lewis could shit in a bowl and you'd hype it up like it was the 2nd coming.

      Mariah spent less then 3 days in the UK promoting and was only on 2 shows and did a couple radio interviews and a signing a week and a half before the album came out. She hardly bombed and this is her best opening week sales in the UK. Stop mentioning Madonna, it's so irrelevant.

      I have her album and think it's great. Mariah is one of the very few talented
      artists out there who actually can sing and Perez is just jealous of her and that's why his fat ass hates on her.

      Not surprizing, since the sacrificial lambs bought 10 copies each.
      Good for Mimi though, her lambs are keeping her
      money rolling in, so she can treat them like shit and she can buy even
      bigger boobs.

      Look at the haters saying the album is bad when they havent even heard it!

      Its a brilliant album that shows Mariah's vocal versatility, nearly every song on the album is a potential single, theyre all hits! Its just brilliant, I listen to it everyday and I looove it! Go Mimi

      500.000 sales first week and thats with the release of the worst song on the album TMB, watch when she releases Bye Bye, Loving you longtime and Wish you well the sales will be incredible! Those songs are AMAZING!!! This album with go 10x platinum because its that great!!!!
