First came the emancipation, then came energy and power, and now come MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL, the new album by interna­tional superstar Mariah Carey, scheduled to arrive on August 25th. The first new single pick from MEMOIRS is "Obsessed," which blasts out to radio today, Tuesday, June 16th. The video for "Obsessed" will be directed by Brett Ratner. "Obsessed" was written and produced by Mariah, The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, who are responsible for the majority of tracks on the new album. MEMOIRS was executive-produced by Antonio "L.A." Reid.
MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL, the 12th studio album of Mariah's career, is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to her RIAA platinum-selling album E=MC² (released April 15, 2008), and her worldwide 10 million selling The Emancipation Of Mimi (released April 12, 2005). Both were Soundscan #1 debut albums that made chart history for Mariah in the U.S. and numerous territories around the globe.
The Emancipation Of Mimi generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemp­orary R&B Album), two #1 singles, and countless more honors during its 18-month chart stay. The album debuted at #1 on first week sales of 404,000 copies, Mariah's highest first week sales total (until E=MC²). Soundscan's biggest-selling album of 2005, Mimi featured "We Belong Together" (Grammy winner for Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song) and "Don't Forget About Us," Mariah's 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively. They tied one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's.
Three years later, E=MC² debuted at #1 on first week sales of 463,000 copies, which now stands as the highest first week sales total of Mariah's career. The album's success brought total sales of Mariah's albums, singles and videos to more than 160 million worldwide, distancing her even further from the pack as the top-selling female recording artist in history.
E=MC² spun off four singles: "Touch My Body," "Bye Bye," "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time," and "I Stay In Love." Of these, "Touch My Body" made history when it became Mariah's 18th #1 Hot 100 hit, thus surpassing Elvis Presley. "Touch My Body"'s two weeks at the top also 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.com. 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.

"Bye Bye" is a song written by American singer Mariah Carey, Johnta Austin and Mikkel S. Eriksen, and Tor Erik Hermansen for Carey's eleventh studio album, E=MC². It was produced by Carey and Stargate, and was released as the second single from the album.
MTV stated that although the song appears to be about her deceased father, Carey "extends this song about death to be for anybody 'who just lost somebody' they truly care about and those who lost someone they hate, you still end up either feeling gulity or missing them". Carey believed that by making "Bye Bye" more open, "everybody could kind of be healed by the song and have their own experience listening to it".
The song premiered on radio April 7, 2008 and has been played on various radio stations in the United States, according to Mediabase. The single became available to download at iTunes on April 14, 2008.
Carey first performed "Bye Bye" on T4 4Music and performed it again live on April 14, 2008, the single's digital release date, on The Oprah Winfrey Show and then again, two days later, on the result show of American Idol season 7 on April 16. Carey performed the song on Good Morning America on April 25, 2008.
The single officially went for adds on April 22, 2008 on Mainstream and Rhythm/Crossover stations.
There are currently two official remixes for "Bye Bye", the first features Jay Z, while the second is assisted by Akon and Lil Wayne.
The song was nominated for R&B Track award at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards.
In some european countries (like The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Swiss) the song was never released, instead "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time", was sent to radio stations in July 2008 as the official 2nd single from the album.

"Touch My Body" is a song co-written by American singer Mariah Carey, Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, Crystal "Cri$tyle" Johnson and Terius "The-Dream" Nash for Carey's eleventh studio album, E=MC², and is the first single from the album. The single was produced by Carey, Stewart, and Nash. The song is Carey's eighteenth number one single on the Billboard Hot 100.

"I Stay in Love" is a song written by Mariah Carey, Bryan-Michael Cox, WyldCard, and Roderick Hollingsworth for Carey's eleventh studio album, E=MC². Produced by Carey and Cox, it was released as the album's fourth and final single. The song was performed at the American Music Awards on November 23, 2008. Although the single has reached number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, it failed to chart in the Billboard Hot 100, which prompted Island Def Jam to cancel any further singles from the album.

Daydream is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey. Released on October 3, 1995 by Columbia Records, the album leaned towards the hip hop and Contemporary R&B genres in comparison to her previous albums, Music Box (1993) and Merry Christmas (1994). Throughout the project, Carey collaborated with Walter Afanasieff, with whom she wrote and produced most of her two previous albums. With Daydream, Carey took more control over the musical direction as well as the album's composition. Carey said she considered Daydream the beginning of her musical and vocal transformation, a change that became more obvious in her 1997 release, Butterfly. During the album's production, Carey endured many creative differences with her label, Columbia Records and husband, Tommy Mottola.
On Daydream, Carey collaborated with Jermaine Dupri for the first time, and co-wrote and produced a song with Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, with whom she had collaborated on Music Box. It was also the first time she had worked with Boyz II Men, an R&B group consisting of four male vocalists. Together, they wrote the concept and lyrics for "One Sweet Day", a song that Carey co-produced with Afanasieff. With his assistance and the addition of a few contemporary producers, she was able to make a subtle transition into the R&B market. Daydream was nominated for six Grammy Awards at the 38th annual ceremony, during which Carey performed live. Due to the album's critical and commercial success, critics believed Carey would be one of the nights big winners. However, to her dismay, she was completely shut out, causing the subject to become very public and controversial.
Six singles were released from the album. "Fantasy", the album's lead single, topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks, and became the second best-selling single of 1995 in the United States. The song topped the charts in Australia, Canada and New Zealand and became a top-five hit in Finland, France and the United Kingdom. "One Sweet Day" was the second single released from Daydream. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for sixteen weeks and became the longest-running number one single in US history, a record it still holds. It also topped the charts in Canada and New Zealand and peaked within the top five in Australia, France, Ireland and The Netherlands. Jointly the singles from Daydream spent a combined six months at the top of the Hot 100. To promote Daydream, Carey embarked on the short but successful, Daydream World Tour, visiting Japan and Europe.
Daydream became Carey's highest reviewed album at the time. Critics universally praised her matured lyrics and songwriting, as well as her musical direction. Alongside very favorable ratings, the album became a large worldwide commercial success. Daydream debuted at number one in over eight different countries, and in the top five in almost every major music market. The album became Carey's second album to be certified ten-times platinum (diamond) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipments of over ten million copies in the United States. Aside from its success in the US, the album became the third best-selling album in Japan by a non-Asian artist, with over 2.1 million copies sold. Daydream remains one of the best-selling albums of all time, with sales of over 25 million copies worldwide.

Mariah Carey 2008年最新专辑《E=MC²》，也是她的第11张录音室大碟。
E=MC² 是爱因斯坦的著名理论，也就是质量和能量之间转化的公式，当然Mariah Carey采用这个作为专辑名称也是有寓意的。“E”代表Emancipation(呼应上一张专辑《The Emancipation of Mimi》)，即释放、解放；“MC”就是Mariah Carey的首字母缩写，E=MC²于是就有了另一个含义。
其中《Touch My Body》也成为Mariah Carey的第18支冠军单曲，这一成绩超过了“猫王”埃尔维斯·普莱斯利（Elvis Presley），她因此成为仅次于披头士乐队的艺人。闻听喜讯后的Mariah Carey在接受美联社采访时表示：“我从不认为自己是那种既革命了音乐又改变了世界的人。这是一个完全不同的时代纪元……我只是很开心，很感激。”披头士仍以20首冠军单曲领先所有歌手。
《Touch My Body》不但登上公告牌的冠军，还在发行的第一周就以28.6万的下载量稳坐数字下载榜的头名。Mariah Carey说她很感激自己能跻身猫王、披头士等伟大歌手之列，因为这不只是她个人的成功，而且对女歌手和少数派而言都意义重大。她说：“我所在流派在音乐界总有种局外人的感觉，谢谢上苍，在我遭到否定的时候给了我自信的信念。”

《玛丽亚凯莉Mariah Carey：爱的相对论E=MC2》玛丽亚·凯莉以全球累积超过1亿6千万张的专辑/单曲/音乐录像带DVD销售以及来自美国唱片工会所颁发的81张白金唱片销售认证，成为跨越20世纪与 21世纪流行乐坛最畅销的超级天后，她以包括"Don't Forget About Us"、"We Belong Together"、"One Sweet Day"、"Hero"、"Dreamlover"…等18首冠军曲成为史上拥有最多首冠军曲的歌手，累计冠军在位周数多达77周！生涯囊括5座格莱美奖、8座全美音乐奖、Billboard杂志的跨世代艺人奖与世界音乐奖所颁发的千禧年最畅销女艺人大奖在内的一长串音乐大奖礼赞，她自出道以来就持续不断的立下难以被超越的当代流行音乐里程碑。

The Emancipation of Mimi is the tenth studio album by American pop/R&B singer Mariah Carey. It was released by Island Records on April 4, 2005, and in North America on April 12, 2005 (see 2005 in music). The album focuses on several R&B-related genres, ranging from 1970s retro soul to quiet storm, gospel, and others. It received generally positive reviews and won a Grammy Award in 2006 for "Best Contemporary R&B Album". After debuting at number one with Carey's highest first-week sales during that time, it became the biggest selling album of 2005 in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. The Emancipation of Mimi has been certified six times platinum by the RIAA, and it is Carey's best-selling album in the U.S. since Daydream (1995). In August 2006, Def Jam reported that the album had sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.
