"Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" was the follow-up to her multi-platinum-selling album E=MC˛ (released April 15, 2008),
and her worldwide 10 million selling The Emancipation Of Mimi (released April 12, 2005). Both were Soundscan #1 debut albums that made chart history for Mariah in the U.S.
and numerous territories around the globe.
"The Emancipation Of Mimi" generated three Grammy awards, two #1 singles, and countless more honors during its 18-month chart stay.
The album debuted at #1 on first week sales of 404,000 copies, Mariah's highest first week sales total (until "E=MC˛"). Soundscan's biggest-selling album of 2005, Mimi
featured We Belong Together (Grammy winner for Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song) and Don't Forget About Us, Mariah's 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively.
They tied one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's.
Three years later, "E=MC˛" debuted at #1 on first week sales of 463,000 copies, which now stands as the highest first week sales total of Mariah's career. The album's success
brought total sales of Mariah's albums, singles and videos to more than 175 million worldwide, distancing her even further from the pack as the top-selling female recording
artist in history.
