Listen to clips of the entire album HERE!

"I'm That Chick", "Lovin' You Long Time" and "O.O.C." sound like the best of the bunch from those clips.

Hmm, I don't agree. The ones I mentioned sound *nothing* like WBT.

Migrate is seriously one of the most boring songs ever. And the chorus is WEAK.

Mariah tops Elvis? It's nothing to get all shook up about

By Randy Lewis, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
April 5, 2008

Elvis Presley fans are a hunka-hunka burning mad after this week's shocking revelation that Mariah Carey has surpassed the King on the list of all-time No. 1 hit makers.

With her latest single, "Touch My Body," topping Billboard's Hot 100 as of Wednesday, Carey's career total of No. 1 singles has hit 18, one more than Elvis. You'd think Western democracy had collapsed overnight.

My advice? Get over it.

I grew up loving Elvis' music. I was born the same year he first set foot in Sam Phillips' Sun studio in Memphis, and my first memory of music is that of a teenage neighbor belting out "You ain't nuthin' but a hound dog!" in 1956, when I was 3.

But this brouhaha? It's only numbers. Besides, Carey isn't even No. 1 on the all-time list. She's still behind the Beatles, who scored 20 No. 1 hits from 1963 to 1970. We haven't heard this much racket over who's No. 2 since Florida in 2000.

It took Elvis from 1956 to 1969, almost twice as long as the Beatles, to rack up all his chart-toppers, although 16 of those came in just the six years from 1956 to 1962. His final No. 1 came straggling in in 1969, with "Suspicious Minds."

Carey, on the other hand, has taken 18 years to reach the top of the heap 18 times. A No. 1 single per year, on average, is no easy feat, and she clearly deserves credit for maintaining such a lengthy hold on pop audiences' affections.

Those who wish to cling desperately to numerical supremacy can take comfort in the fact that Presley still holds a comfortable lead on the list of Top 500 artists for albums and singles, as compiled by researcher Joel Whitburn. On his sliding scale, in which musicians get points for each recording that reaches No. 1, 2, etc., Elvis tops both. In the most recent editions of his Record Research books from Billboard's charts, Elvis has 9,406 points on the singles list. Carey is No. 5 with 4,295 points. On the album ranking, Elvis racked up 17,309 points, ahead of Frank Sinatra (13,313), the Beatles (13,231) and all others. Carey was No. 91, behind the Lettermen, Billy Vaughn and Journey.

Still, it's only numbers. Carey's latest accomplishment doesn't change one iota the seismic impact Elvis had, and continues to have, on pop culture.

How many times he sold more records or got more radio airplay than any other act during his lifetime is impressive. The real measure of what made Elvis so great is how many other musicians since have seductively swayed their hips, playfully sneered an upper lip or refused to be bound within the confines of rock, blues, country, R&B or any single musical genre.

That number is incalculable.

Gary Bryan, the morning DJ at oldies station KRTH-FM (101.1), notes that, "while Mariah is a terrific singer, and this is a great accomplishment, you can't quantify someone's place in music history by chart statistics. Some people reflect their time, and some define their times. Mariah is a reflection of her time. . . . Elvis, on the other hand, defined his time, much as the Beatles later did. Mariah doesn't have that kind of iconic stature."

Need proof?

Ever seen a velvet Mariah painting? Me neither. Are horny couples racing to Vegas chapels to be wed by Mariah impersonators? I thought not. And I guarantee that 40 years from now, no singer will ever quip "Thankyou . . . thankyouverymuch" after a song and make people think of Carey.

So, Elvis fans, worry not. The King's place in history is secure, even if Carey manages to score another 18 No. 1 hits.

If that happens, she'd overtake the Beatles, in which case . . . forget everything I just said.

For someone who has sold so many records and had so many hits it's amazing how few of her songs I can even remember.

She is the fat, female Westlife

Rolling Stone review

3 out of 5

Mariah Carey embraces her extremes: She's either grinding out R&B-hop or singing syrupy ballads, talking dirty or cuddling with a Hello Kitty. Her tenth studio album is no different: It starts in a club and ends in a church. Carey tries on reggae with Damian Marley's scorching "Cruise Control" cameo, conjures a text-message title for Swizz Beatz's flute-loopy "O.O.C." ("out of control") and dials cool Seventies soul with "I'm That Chick" (where she compares herself to ice cream, Tupac and a blunt). She sounds the freshest when she fires up her Tommy Mottola resentment on the bumpy, Young Jeezy-assisted "Side Effects" and lives the high life on Danja's hard-hitting head-nodder, "Migrate," which dabs her vocal with Auto-Tune. But nearly every song confines Carey to four-note verses, offering little room for her glorious range, and the six ballads are drenched in yearbook-quote lyrics that never quite work themselves into the froth of The Emancipation of Mimi. Yet 2008's Mimi is also about redemption, and she brings it on the closer, "I Wish You Well," proving all she needs is a piano and a few Bible verses to save somebody - most likely herself.

"I'm That Chick", "Lovin' You Long Time" and "O.O.C." sound like the best of the bunch from those clips.

This is even worse than "TEOM". "Glitter" was her last decent album.

Some bitch in Brazil supposedly has the album and has already leaked a 35 second clip of one of the songs.
