Mariah Carey's 'Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel' Soars to Top of the Charts

Mariah Carey might think she's flawed, but to her fans, her new album is perfect. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Carey's "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" soars to No. 1 on the R&B charts, lead by her two singles "Obsessed" and "I Want to Know What Love Is." The album—written and produced entirely Carey, Tricky Stewart and The-Dream—is a welcome comeback for Carey who's last album, "E=MC2," received lackluster reviews and sales. Expect to hear her next single, "H.A.T.E.U.," on radio in the upcoming weeks.

As a special surprise, MiMi fans can use their Blackberry, iPhone or other internet-enabled mobile device to watch her in concert this Saturday. Miss Mariah will be live in Las Vegas and making history once again as the first concert to be simulcast to mobile and other digital devices worldwide.

Get ready to see her perform her staple hits as well as songs from the new CD.

Purchase virtual concert tickets for $9.99 by texting "Mariah" to 313131, through Mariah Carey's official website MariahCarey.com, Facebook or MySpace pages by clicking on the "Mariah Carey Live In Las Vegas" link.—CM
