Touch My Body blowing up Billboard charts
Billboard.com writes: Mariah Carey makes a triumphant return to the charts with her new single "Touch My Body". After less than six days at radio it blasts onto a whopping four airplay charts. "Touch" storms CHR/Top 40 (No. 32), Rhythmic Top 40 (No. 26), Urban (No. 23) and Urban AC (No. 39). By debuting on the CHR/Top 40 chart, Carey takes the lead for most hits in the list's 15-year history: "Touch" is her 26th entry, breaking a tie with Madonna.
Mariah's magic "touch" doesn't end there... With just one day of airplay "Touch My Body" earned enough airplay to jump onto the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at No. 78. "Body" is Carey's 41st song to appear on this survey. Her run began almost 18 years ago with "Vision of Love", which became the first of her 10 R&B No. 1 hits to date. "Touch My Body" previews Carey's 15th album, "E=MC2", due April 15. (MariahCarey.com)
