Superstar singer Mariah Carey failed to reach the number one on the Billboard charts this week.  Her new CD titled “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel” didn’t even make the number two position.

Instead, it debuted at number three.  The CD sold 168,000 copies in its first week. 

Barbra Streisand’s “Love is the Answer” occupies the number one position, and Paramore’s new CD “Brand New Eyes” took the number two spot.

Having a CD reach number three is an accomplishment for a new or mediocre artist.  However, it’s considered a disappointment for someone of Mariah’s caliber because most of her albums debut at number one.

Mariah released two singles to support the CD–”Obsessed” and a remake of Foreigner’s “I Want To Know What Love Is.” 

Maybe if she goes on a concert tour and do extra promotion, the CD might have longevity.  The complete Top 10 Billboard Albums chart will be posted later today.
