Mariah's sales appear to be up! Could you imagine being the one person that bought Mariah's "Unplugged"...so last week did like 99 or 100 people buy it? What happened.

Seriously, though, I'm surprised Mariah's numbers haven't shoot up with the new single...This might mean less than impressive numbers when the album comes out.

Cher's is there

jayaredee said:

ah, you're right. but you can never have enough Cher

Tessa said:

Whoa...damn straight!!!!

I believe Cher's GH will continue to sell decently for a long while since it's a definitive hits album that's packaged quite nicely.
