Mariah's New Album Debuts To Lackluster Sales, Outperformed By Paramore!

Poor Mimoo!

Music industry insiders tell us that Mariah Carey's new album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, is expected to debut next week at #2 on the U.S. album charts - just behind Paramore, who will come in at the #1 spot with their latest offering, Brand New Eyes, which they released on the same day as Mims.

Early sales reports predict that Imperfect Angel will sell in the range of 160,000 - 170,000 copies while Paramore's album is expected to sell 180,000 - 190,000!

As for Madonna and her latest greatest hits album, Celebration, she's projected to sell a between 60,000 - 70,000 copies. And she's barely done any promo!

But back to Mimoo!

In comparison to the release of her last album, E=MC², which debuted with 463,000 copies sold in its first week, Mariah faces an almost 70 percent drop in sales!

Ouch!

Are U planning on buying Mariah's latest turd creation?

Update: Insiders are telling us that it looks like Mariah is neck and neck with Barbra Streisand as both are in the 160,000 range, but projections are putting Mimi in third place at the end of this week.

      MADONNA IS AN UGLY DOG



    5. 105

      all you people who are comparing this with that are fools. get a life.



    6. 106

      Heh. Good. Mariah Carey is an airheaded, pretentious, corporate created PHONY, with absolutely no redeeming qualities. She represents virtually everything wrong with the music industry.



    7. 107

      Mariah might not debut at #1…I guess that's the end of her career for her. She's released 11 prior albums (and that's not including compilations). Only 6 reached #1, so it's not like she's never had an album that didn't reach the top spot. It's kind of sad that you need to call her sales lackluster b/c it doesn't make #1. Gaga's album has yet to reach that spot.



    8. 108

      Mariah should make some real music. Great voice, bad material



    9. 109

      nah. that's what you get when you hired the dream. the songs in the new album suck ass.

      Re: WHORE1
      Whitney Houston also released her album on a Monday, instead of the traditional Tuesday of which most albums are released, which gave her an extra day of tallying her numbers. Even if that wasn't the case for her higher numbers, Whitney has the highest selling soundtrack and that of a female artist with the Bodyguard. Her debut album has sold more than both Mariah's and Madonna's, so she's used to beating them in terms of numbers. As someone else said, though, comparing these artists is silly..people are going to like whomever they like regardless of who outsells who.



    11. 111

      thats cuz paramores album is AMAZING!!!!!
      SERIOUSLY!!!! :D



    12. 112

      its only been out for a day!
      Mariah knows how to get a nuber 1 album! And even it if debuts at 2 or 3 that is still in the top 5 which is pretty good! this album is a lot better then E=MC2 and most of the songs are amazing sung, written and produced!
      I dont really understand how people are calling Mariah fat! I dont know which picture your looking at but I think she look pretty good - its about time we have celebrities who arent stick thin!
      As well as the Madonna fans saying a slut! Ummmmm look at madonna then say whos a slut!



    13. 113

      Re: Moluver – Moluver! Madonna's biggest selling album is "The Immaculate Collection" you stupid fucking idiot! So do not use that as an excuse for her album doing so shit! Madonna is a fucked up old wrinkly hag who is only successful in the country of bad teeth. They love her because looking at her makes them feel better about the way their mouths look. Fair is fair! Mariah is putting out an album of original material and Madonna a greatest hits which has proved her most successful to date. I only had to look for 20 minutes to discover that, and you call yourself a Madogga fan LOL You're full of excuses you loser. Madonna sucks!



    14. 114

      So it is projected to sell 100,000 more copies than Madonna's but there is no flack for Madonna because Perez is trying to friend her even though she avoids him.

      Wow look at all this impressive and unreliable statistics you guys have posted to make Madonna look good with her SALES.

      Yeah Madonna sells, OUT! She would SPIT in your FACE to make more money.

      Art and music is not about how much money you make people. You put this woman on a pedestal and she could care LESS about any of you! Her concert ticket prices should be criminal! I paid over 300 dollars to see Confessions Tour which was great but for Sticky and Sweet the same amount of money got me terrible seats….meanwhile Madonna gets her shiatsu massage backstage.

      Seriously though, Madonna has nothing left to say that is important. She has stepped on everyone to get where she is and even if her album was number one I do not know how that makes her so respectable.



    15. 115

      She can barely keep her eyes open in this interview..especially right before she thinks she's going to say something so profound.



    16. 116

      woohoo GO PARAMORE! flying in there at number one..love you guys!



    17. 117

      Whisperiah's new album SUCKS ASS.



    18. 118

      i think mariah's new will do good i mean i love all of her cds old and new her lambs will buy it



    19. 119

      Mariah's new cd is good, I downloaded it free on a blog, but my goodness, the woman is desperate! I don't like purchasing anything of hers anymore becuz she doesnt deserve all the #1's and sales she gets because she discounts everything and kisses all her dumb lambs asses. She is pathetic to me as a person and DESPERATE as they get. My fave song is HATEU. I bought Madonna and Paramore's cd today. I needed to update my Madonna classics so the greatest hits was perfect for me! I loved going back to into the groove right up to hung up and feeling all those good feelings I remember listening to Madonna growing up and even still today.



    20. 120

      Back to the looney bin for porky Mooriah b/c this album is a real stinker. Hagdonna's Greatest Hits is a real dud too. How many Greatest Hits is she gonna release? Ugly old skank.



    21. 121

      Mariah's sales really aren't that bad though are they Perez? You're a moron. You're gossip reports are so unfounded and based on crappy opinion. I do not think this Memoirs album is anywhere near the quality of stuff she has done in the past, but she has done pretty well with those figures. So shut just shut your pie hole Perez!



    22. 122

      i bought it and i like it! ( the cd i mean)



    23. 123

      Re: bcuz I said so! – THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I SAID WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT… THE BEST SINCE BUTTERFLY. I'M GLAD SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY LISTENED TO THE CD HAS SOMETHING VALID TO SAY!!!



    24. 124

      HAHA, SOUNDS LIKE I NEED TO BUY BABS STRIESAND AND PARAMORE'S ALBUM. WHO THE HELL WANTS TO BUY #3??? THIRD AINT A WINNER IN MY BOOK. JUST SAYIN.



    25. 125

      sh shout mor tht singng



    26. 126

      Re: Madonna_#1fan_4ever! – lol don't be mad MC is still scoring hits unlike old turkey claws in your avatar, have you seen her recent pictures? her hands look the claws on an uncooked turkey! gobble gobble bitch! haha!



    27. 127

      I am a huge Mariah fan.. I think this is her best cd since Butterfly.. YES better than Mimi. Trust me if Obsessed is doing as well as it is.. the album will do GREAT overall.. because I'd say Obsessed is the weakest song on the cd.



    28. 128

      Re: madonna is shit – Madonna has actually sold more than 200 million worldwide and Mariah 165-170. Where are you getting your numbers??? Think about it…Mariah only has hits in the US.

      I'm not even a fan of either one and I know this! LOL

    29. Melme says – reply to this


      129

      Go Paramore! :)



    30. 130

      Re: madman1983
      Well, according the RIAA, she's only sold 62 million in the US alone, so the remaining 100 or so million had to be sold somewhere else in the world.



    31. 131

      paramores album really isnt that great…



    32. 132

      Haha - Had it been the other way around, the headline would have been all about how Madonna crushed Mariah. I love how you turned the fact that Mariah trounced Madonna into a negative.



    33. 133

      Oh please… Madonna please sing, u aint have the voice like Mimi!!!
      If "Memoirs" have a lackluster sales, well so as Paramore… It's not bout the artist, but more so the trend of music sales happenin' now… Lambs will not let this happen, we'll make sure we made all of our efforts to make it #1 next week, anyways, Sales count is until Sunday… C'mon we can make this happen…



    34. 134

      mariah's "Emotions" sold 129,000 in the 1st week and went on to sell 4 million and now it has sold over 10,000,000 copies
      "music box" sold 174,000 in the 1st week and sold 25,000,000 and now has sold 32,000,000 copies and one of is the best selling albums world wide and her biggest selling album
      "merry christmas" ONLY sold a weak ass 45,000 but in the 6th week sold 500,000. 3rd best selling christmas album
      anyway to conclude mariah had a huge opening week but is still one of the best selling artist. memories might flop AND it may not. oh well she still has her millions baby!

      "hard candy 282 000 , memoirs 170 000 lol woriah is shit in us"
      Yeah, and you forgot to mention, E=MC2 beat Hard Candy's opening week sales as well. Since you like stats and competition, here's some for you:

      Biggest albums by female artists worldwide:
      Whitney Houston–The Bodyguard Soundtrack–42 million
      Shania Twain–Come on Over–39 m
      Alanis Morissette–Jagged Little Pill–33 m
      Celine Dion–Falling Into You–32 m
      Mariah Carey–Music Box–32 m
      Celine Dion–Let's Talk About Love–31 m
      Britney Spears–Baby One More Time–25 m
      Mariah Carey–Daydream–25 m
      Whitney Houston–Whitney Houston 25 m
      Madonna–True Blue–she ONLY sold 24 million…haha…that's NOTHING!

      Re: Sistersandme – Maybe buy it and then comment on it. This album is Amazing and different. SUCK IT



    48. 148

      "Insiders" are telling you? All anyone has to do is go to hitsdailydouble.com and look at the mounting sales chart - anyone can be an "insider"! Right now, the chart shows Paramore at 1, Streisand at 2 (several thousand units ahead of…), Mariah at 3.
