Bytes for Mariah Carey - release: Rainbow
Mariah Carey is the biggest selling female artist of the decade with over 115 million records sold worldwide. In Australia, Mariah has sold over 3.3 million records. Mariah has earned 29 Platinum album awards, and her total Australian retail sales add up to over $69 million in over-the-counter-sales! Just in time for Christmas, Mariah returns with a sensational new studio album, Rainbow. Featuring the premiere hit single, 'Heartbreaker', the album is a rainbow spectrum of pop, RnB and stunning ballads.
'Heartbreaker' is currently a multi format #1 smash hit in the US and racing up the charts here. The 'Heartbreaker' video is everywhere and her poularity is again on the rise. Since Mariah claimed the status of 'diva for the 90s' almost ten years ago, a whole new generation is discovering Mariah. The good news is there's something for everyone on 'Rainbow'. Fans of earlier hits such as 'Hero' or 'Vision Of Love' will love 'Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)'. 'Thank God I Found You' (featuring Joe & 98 Degrees) is a monster ballad in the vein of the Boyz II Men duet 'One Sweet Day'. Newfound fans will welcome 'Heartbreaker', 'How Much' (featuring Usher) and 'X-Girlfriend'.
Mariah has broken numerous records with this single in the US - she enjoyed her biggest ever first week sales for a single with 'Heartbreaker'. With a # 1 debut, Mariah also broke her own record of the most # 1 single debuts for a female artist (14 in total!)
Mariah has written or co-written nearly every track on Rainbow. Legendary songwriter Diane Warren has also contributed tracks. Album producers include DJ Clue, Mariah and David Foster. The album features an array of steller artists, including 98 Degrees, Usher, Missy Elliott and Snoop Dogg. Are you ready to colour your world Mariah? (Sony Music Australia)
