Mariah shatters audience record
The sky's the limit for performer and songwriter Mariah Carey - who has become
the first artist to break the 200 million one-week BDS Hot 100 audience barrier
with We Belong Together (with 202.1 million listens), breaking her own BDS Hot
100 audience record (of 192.3 million, two weeks ago), it was announced today
by Antonio "L.A." Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group.
We Belong Together, shattered yet another record as the single gathered the largest
one-day audience total ever in BDS history yesterday - 32.8 million. At the same
time, Mariah's still-new Island Def Jam album, The Emancipation Of Mimi, certified
RIAA double-platinum, stays in the top 5 for a 10th consecutive week (#5 up to #4
bullet), after peaking at #1 twice, in April and again in June.
Mariah, who lit up the MTV Movie Awards 2 weeks ago, will perform in London's Hyde
Park on July 2nd as part of the lineup of Live 8: The Long Walk To Justice. The
once-in-a-lifetime all-star event, organized by Sir Bob Geldof on the 20th
anniversary of the Live Aid concerts, will present concerts in London, Cornwall,
Berlin, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Johannesburg, and Philadelphia on the eve of the
international G8 Summit in Edinburgh, Scotland. Further information is available
at www.live8live.com.
Two nights later, back in the USA, Mariah will be the exclusive headliner for NBC
television's Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular, the country's largest
Fourth of July fireworks extravaganza, beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET. For the first
time ever, the annual one-hour special will feature just one musical performer,
as Mariah celebrates the nation's 229th birthday. Her half-hour set will include
We Belong Together, America The Beautiful, Shake It Off, and some surprises.
We Belong Together - already named the biggest single in the history of both Mariah
and the Island Def Jam Music Group - secured her place as the #1 most successful
female artist of all time when it became her 16th song to top the Billboard Hot 100.
This positions Mariah as the only active artist with the potential to surpass the
Beatles (with 20 #1's) and Elvis Presley (18 #1's) in the modern era. (With 66 total
weeks of #1 hits since 1990, Mariah also ranks 2nd only to Elvis, with 80 weeks.) We
Belong Together is also Mariah's 5th #1 at the Mainstream Top 40 format, the most
by any artist on that chart; and moves from #3 up to #2 on the Digital Songs chart,
with 43,970 scans.
Last week, We Belong Together, written by Mariah and co-produced by her with Jermaine
Dupri, became the first song to top 1 million BDS spins in a week at Yahoo's LaunchCast
online radio. In addition, for a 4th week in a row, it stays #1 at Yahoo! on both its
Music Video Plays chart and LaunchCast Plays chart, also an all-time record at Yahoo!
Music. At AOL Music, the track has been in the #1 position for 9 consecutive weeks on
the AOL Song Chart and is also #1 on the overall AOL Radio chart.
The next single from Mimi is Shake It Off, written by Mariah and co-produced by her
with Jermaine Dupri. This week, Mariah is filming the video for the single, directed
by Jake Nava.
