Mariah's 8th Australian gold single
In its fifth week on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) singles chart, "I Know What You Want" by Busta Rhymes and Mariah Carey scores a gold certification. Having spent an entire month at its debut position of No.3, this week for the first time it drops one spot to No.4. New releases by R Kelly and Beyonce debuted in the No.1 and No.2 positions respecitively, so a drop was inevitable.
The gold certification is Mariah's eighth, but only Busta's second. The single is expected to eventually go platinum in the coming weeks, in which case it will be Mariah's eight platinum single and Busta's first! Mariah's last gold was "Loverboy", and last platinum was "Heartbreaker". Busta scored his first gold just last year with "Break Ya Neck".
Meanwhile, the "Charmbracelet" re-release in Australia is still unconfirmed. While Universal inch further away from capitalising on the success of this hit single, Busta's label BMG have re-issued his album at a majorly discounted price. Consequently his album rises to No. 29 on the ARIA Urban chart, and re-enters the HMV chart at No.38. Also on the ARIA Urban chart, Mariah Carey's "Greatest Hits" and "Boy (I Need You)" drop four places each to No.26 and No.35 respectively. (Mariah Downunder Forums)
