Busta and Mariah debut at #3 in Australia
Mariah Carey has scored her biggest Australian hit since 1995's "One Sweet
Day" (#2). This week "I Know What You Want" by Busta Rhymes and Mariah Carey debuts at #3
on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Singles chart. The
track also debuts at #1 on the Urban Singles chart.
Today Mariah's Australian fans are in disbelief. Unlike recent singles,
"Through The Rain" (#15) and "Boy (I Need You)" (#29), "I Know What You
Want" did not have any major promotion. However, there was a crucial
difference between these singles and "I Know What You Want". Airplay. For
the first time in an extremely long time, Mariah was heard on mainstream
radio. What's even more incredible is that the single debuted higher than massive
airplay favourite "Fighter" (#5) by Christina Aguilera.
Demand for the single was unexpected by fans, BMG Australia and retailers
alike. Many stores ran out before the weekend, and instead were left with
excess copies of other more high profile singles. This is by far Busta's
biggest ever hit in Australia.
An Australian re-release of "Charmbracelet" is now more likely than ever.
Meanwhile, "Mariah Carey Greatest Hits" has had a rebirth in recent weeks
thanks to a price reduction by Sony Music. The double CD album is selling
for $19.99 across the country and this week bullets to #23 on the ARIA Urban
Albums chart - over 6 months since it was first released.
