Mariah Carey has been hot on the promotional trail for the release of her 12th studio album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel". Unfortunately, promotion didn't help the first week sales of her latest offering. Official figures show that Mariah debuts at #3 this week, with sales of only 170 000. The top spot was occupied by Paramore, followed closely by Barbara Streisand.
In related "Memoirs" news, "H.A.T.E.U." has been chosen as the third single from the album. Also, an official remix project has been announced which will see all the songs being remixed and released as a separate LP. This would explain the lack of features and remixes on the current release. According to Rap-Up, Trey Songz has been enlisted to feature on "Inseparable" and has already recorded his portion of the track.
I really think the remixes concept album is a great idea and as a fan, I'm excited to see what the album will serve up. In saying that, I'm a bit disappointed with a #3 debut and I hope that with further promotion, the release of a new single and some time the album sales will pick up.
