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.
