Mariah Carey’s a Chart Topper

Kicking off the launch of her new album on the season premiere of The Hills, Mariah Carey is back on top of the music charts. Touch My Body, the smash hit single on the new album titled E=MC2, has landed at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Carey’s latest single is her 18th career chart topper, and jumps her past rock and roll legend Elvis Presley, who has 17 #1 singles. With Presley behind her now, Carey is potentially on her way to surpass the Beatles’ all-time high of 20 #1 hits.

With all of the buzz surrounding the new single, it’s almost a guarantee that the new album will fly off the shelves when it hits stores on April 15th. Pre-orders are already underway for E=MC2, and iTunes users who make the early purchase can instantly download the hit single.

Just in case you’ve been stranded on an island for the past couple weeks, Carey will be keeping her promotional tour rolling up until the release of the album. On April 9th, Mariah will join an all-star cast for the second annual “IDOL Gives Back” two-hour television special, and she will appear as a special guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show just a day before the album’s release.
