Same old song
Mariah Carey reaches back for her 49th career entry on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, as "I Want to Know What Love Is" arrives as the list's Hot Shot Debut at No. 64. Foreigner's original version of the ballad reached No. 85 on the chart, and No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, in 1985.
The second single from "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel", due September 29, adds to the singer's catalog of covers. Carey peaked at No. 11 on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs with her update of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" in 1992. In 1994, her remake with Luther Vandross of Lionel Richie and Diana Ross' "Endless Love" reached No. 7 on the chart. In 1999, Carey rose to No. 3 on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs with her take on "I Still Believe", originally a No. 13 Hot 100 hit by her former employer, Brenda K. Starr. (Billboard's Chart Beat)
