MARIAH CAREY - NOW, THAT'S WHAT I CALL A HIT RECORD

Hits compilation NOW, THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC 19 has ended hip-hop and R+B's stint at the top of the US album chart by selling more than four times its nearest rival in its debut week.

The latest Now crashed in at the top with an impressive 436,000 sales - almost 350,000 copies more than MARIAH CAREY's THE EMANCIPATION OF MIMI, which extends its run in the Billboard chart's top five to over three-and-a-half months.

Other top 10 debuts are CARLY SIMON's latest collection of standards, MOONLIGHT SERENADE, at seven and gospel singing sisters MARY MARY's self-titled third album, which enters the new chart at number eight.
