Glitter reaches #1 in Japanese album charts

Sony Japan are very pleased to announce that Mariah Carey's album "Glitter" has reached #1 in its first week on the Original Confidence album chart (August 27th chart; based on results from August 13th -19th). The album was released on August. 18th, and this will be Mariah's 5th album to reach #1 on this chart which is more than any other international female artist ever, and also rivals Simon & Garfunkel's record set in 1972. It is also the first international soundtrack ever to achieve the #1 position, which is another record-setting accomplishment. Mariah Carey is unquestionably one of the most successful international female singers of all time.

Mariah has sent us the following message upon hearing the wonderful achievement; "I am enormously grateful to my Japanese fans and to Sony Japan. I have worked so hard for this and it is an amazing moment for me. Your loyalty and support continues to provide me with great inspiration. I can't even express how much this means to me as an artist and as an individual, especially at this moment in my life. I can't thank you enough and I look forward to seeing you all in Japan. Aishitemasu!"
