Number One Spot Too Far For Mariah Carey

October 2. 2009

Glitter (2001)	"Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" (2009)

Hits Daily Double has announced, the band Paramore, extended their lead for the number one spot on the Billboard charts next week, besting Mariah Carey "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" by 30,000 copies.

Carey's latest flop is reminiscent of the career tanking bomb that was "Glitter" spawning the song "Never Too Far"

Currently, Paramore, who has done work for the "Twilight" movie soundtrack, is projected to sell 190,000 copies for the week. Carey is projected to sell 160,000. Her last CD "E=MC2" sold more than double that amount during its first week of release.

The new numbers are reminiscent of the flop that was her 2001 "Glitter" album, which sold 110,000 copies in the first week of release and sent her to the psych ward after a suicide attempt.

Contrary to what some might think, her falling sales, has nothing to do with her turning 40 soon. People aren’t supporting Carey for other reasons.

The lackluster, unoriginal "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" has bred imperfect sales, making it one of her worst selling albums to date.

Looks like Mariah is joining Madonna on the musical scrap heap, as the latter is on track to sell between 60-67,000 copies this week.
