MARIAH CAREY - CAREY'S LATEST CHART FEAT CONFIRMED

CAREY'S LATEST CHART FEAT CONFIRMED

LATEST: MARIAH CAREY has sailed to the top of the U.S. album charts to claim her sixth number one.
Early estimates suggested Carey's E=MC2 would debut at the top and topple British star Leona Lewis' Spirit with 475,000 sales, but she fell just short with 463,000.
That was still enough to give the pop diva the highest debut of the year on the Billboard 200 - almost 100,000 more than Jack Johnson's Sleep Through The Static.
Carey scored another U.S. chart feat earlier this month (Apr08) when she broke her chart-topper tie on the singles chart. Her Touch My Body number one was her 18th, giving her second place outright, behind only the Beatles, who have 20 top spots.
Carey was previously tied at 17 with Elvis Presley.
Meanwhile, Lewis' Spirit slips to two with 95,000 units sold and pop sensation Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: The Best of Both Worlds Concert rockets back up the charts from 31 to three, thanks to a sales relaunch.
Country group Lady Antebellum debuts at four with its selftitled album and the NOW 27 compilation rounds out the top five.
