Press Release: Mariah Carey's E=MC2 Album Enters at #1

Mariah Carey's E=MC2 Album Enters at #1, on Career-High First Week Soundscan Sales of 463,000!!!

'TOUCH MY BODY' - HER 18th #1 HIT, AND 79th CAREER WEEK AT #1 - SETS HISTORIC CHART RECORD, SURPASSING ELVIS PRESLEY's 17 #1's, AND TYING HIS ALL-TIME HIGH 79 WEEKS AT #
1

'Bye Bye' is next - impacts at Pop, Rhythmic and Urban radio formats and is #1 most added across the board

APRIL 25th ON ABC TV: Mariah returns to Good Morning America for traffic-stopping live outdoor concert at New York City's Times Square

An unprecedented pre- and post-release campaign -- including appearances on NBC's Saturday Night Live, MTV's The Hills, BET's concert special, FOX's IDOL Gives Back and American Idol, and The Oprah Winfrey Show -- maximized exposure for international superstar Mariah Carey and her current smash hits, the #1 "Touch My Body" and #1 most added "Bye Bye," resulting in a massive #1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart for E=MC2 (in stores April 15th), weighing in with first week Soundscan sales of 463,000 units. E=MC2 also debuts #1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart and #1 on the Top Digital albums chart (Mariah's first-ever #1 digital album debut with over 50,000 scanned!). E=MC2 represents the biggest first week debut of Mariah's career!!!

"Mariah's an inspiration, the true definition of a star," said Antonio 'L.A.' Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group. "She continues to amaze us with every incredible new album she creates. Now Mariah has added another plateau of success to what has become her virtually unapproachable track record on charts around the world. She proves beyond a doubt that with talent, ambition, and sheer force of will, all things are possible."

TV appearances continue this Friday, April 25th on ABC, when Mariah returns to Good Morning America for a live outdoor concert with New York's Times Square as her backdrop. Three years to the month since she first shut down traffic outside GMA's studios on 44th Street to celebrate the release week of The Emancipation Of Mimi, Mariah will once again welcome thousands of fans to the event, slated between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. She then hurries uptown for a guest appearance on Live with Regis & Kelly.

Mariah reached an historic career achievement earlier this month when "Touch My Body" became her 18th #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 - surpassing one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's. "Touch My Body"'s two weeks at the top marked Mariah's 78th and 79th cumulative career weeks at #1, which tied Elvis' long-standing all-time high of 79 weeks at #1, as calculated in Billboard. At the same time, Mariah is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 50 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with the potential to surpass the Beatles' all-time high of 20 #1 hits.

"Touch My Body" took over the #1 spot with an all-time record-setting 286,000 debut week on the Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart. The video, directed by feature filmmaker Brett Ratner, and featuring a cameo by Jack McBrayer (30 Rock's Kenneth Parcell), stays in rotation on VH1, VH1 Soul, BET and 106 & Park, and FUSE; as well as #1 at Yahoo Music Video. "Touch My Body" also topped the AOL video charts for several weeks.

Clear Channel Online played a major part in the Mariah Carey promotion, simultaneously launching "Touch My Body" as it went to radio. The song was played over 400,000 times in one week and debuted at #1 on the On-Demand Chart. Tracks from E=MC2 were also featured in Clear Channel's Sneak Peak promotion a week before the album was released.

"Bye Bye" impacted across-the-board at Pop, Rhythmic, and Urban radio formats on Monday, April 21 and is #1 most added across the board.

Leading up to the release of E=MC2, "Touch My Body" was one of two songs (along with "Migrate") that were performed by Mariah last month on NBC's Saturday Night Live, hosted by Jonah Hill, the show to be re-run on May 3rd. Earlier this month, Mariah gave a special performance of "Touch My Body" and "We Belong Together" after the season premiere of the MTV reality series, "The Hills." The episode set a year-to-date record as the highest rated telecast on cable TV.

On April 9th, Mariah joined an all-star cast for the second annual "IDOL Gives Back" two-hour TV special, a music celebration raising awareness and benefiting various U.S. and international charities. The following Monday, April 14th, Mariah appeared as special guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, chatting with the host and performing "Bye Bye." The next day, as E=MC2 was released, Mariah began a two-night stint on American Idol, serving as musical mentor to that week's finalists on night one, and performing "Bye Bye" on night two.

"Touch My Body" was produced by Mariah Carey, C. "Tricky" Stewart, and fellow Island Def Jam artist The-Dream. Other guest producers joining Mariah on E=MC2 include Jermaine Dupri, DJ Toomp, Stargate, Will I Am, Bryan Michael Cox, Nate "Danjahandz" Hills and James Poyser. The album is executive produced by Mariah Carey and Antonio "LA" Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group.

The 11th studio album of her career, E=MC2 follows-up The Emancipation Of Mimi, Mariah's worldwide 10 million selling #1 album, which generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemporary R&B Album), two #1 singles, and countless more honors during its 18-month stay on the charts. Released April 12, 2005, Mimi was an industry phenomenon for the mega-platinum award-winning superstar. Soundscan's biggest-selling album of the year, it brought total sales of Mariah's albums, singles and videos to over 160 million worldwide, making her the top-selling female recording artist in history.

Bye Bye is a sweet song lyrically though also depressing, but musically though it's pretty, it's very very safe, and she'd be better off releasing Side Effects or For The Record, which most people seem to really like including myself.

I just finished watching the On Demand Comcast Cable stuff for Mariah.

They show her in the studio singing Migrate, Bye Bye, Love Story and a little of I'm That Chick. She looks so cool in shades singing Migrate and it was nice to see how they did the vocal layering for Love Story.

She talks about making singing background vocals to create a 'bed' or wall of sound to work with. Hearing her talk about the album and seeing her record makes me like the album even more.

It's so cool to see that she really enjoys recording and doing all production stuff. She said that her experience as a background singer helps her to create and understand how she wants the backing vocals to go and support or make the bed of a song.

I think she hit the nail on the head of why her songs (at least to me) are so melodic and enjoyable to sing. I also caught a few vocal nuances that I hadn’t picked up on before in the songs. She said something about that sound being something that the fans like in her music so she’s aware that her music has a particular sound for the most part.

I sooo wanted there to be footage of her singing I Wish You Well but there was none. After seeing the effort she put into Bye Bye and even Migrate I can only imagine. (I swear the last 1:20 of that song gets me every time.) She said the electricity of TPain made her want to raise her level on the outro. She did talk about what it’s like to record a song that just has piano though.

I think Benny Medina was around for a minute or two as well. Maybe it will be uploaded to YouTube at some point.

aww i hope it will be uploaded to the tube.

btw, David Foster had some amazing thing to say about her a few days ago:

David Foster: Mariah is hot in every way. You combine that beautiful face with a hot body and great talent and great singing and let's not forget, everybody forgets, she is a great songwriter. Not good, but great. [...]

I worked with her a little bit, not extensively, but I worked with her a little bit. She's a pro, she knows her way around the studio, and a lot of artists, you know, they wanna be a co-producer just because they can be. Mariah really is a co-producer. She's in there for every note, and I applaud her. I think she's amazing.

interview could be streamed at Mariah Daily

Maybe I can learn how to do it. It’s up through the month of May so I have time to figure it out.

I have loved David Foster for many many years. Great quote.
