Divas are heading our way

Two of the world's biggest music divas will be heading to Australia this year on the back of their latest album releases. Mariah Carey, who has racked up 17 number-one hits in the US alone and has sold more than 150 million CDs and DVDs worldwide, is preparing to release her album That Chick in April. Meanwhile, the release of the Janet Jackson album Discipline is imminent.

"We definitely want to get them out here at some point during the year," says a rep from their US record label who flew to Australia to unveil five tracks from each album. Insider had a private preview of tracks from both albums - two of the year's most anticipated releases.

Jackson's first single from her 10th studio album is Feedback, a cracking pop track. Another, Tonight, is up-tempo dance, so think Rihanna's Don't Stop The Music. Others include the pumping Rock With You and the curiously titled The Greatest Ex.

Carey's sound is more polished than Jackson's, and there's no doubt her album will get plenty of radio and television airplay. Timing is everything in this game, so Carey is yet to set an exact date for the release. The expected drop in April will be around the time Madonna's latest album is due.

Although Carey's lyrics leave little to the imagination, there's no denying she has an amazing voice. Stand-out tunes include Love You Long Time, Touch My Body and I'm That Chick That You Want.
