Mariah Carey

By spring 2007, she had begun working on her eleventh studio album, E=MC². Asked about the album title and its meaning, Mariah Carey said "Einstein’s theory? Physics? Me? Hello! Of course I’m poking fun." She characterized the project as "Emancipation of Mimi to the second power", saying she was "freer on this album than" any other. Like her previous one, this album mainly concentrates on pop and R&B, but also borrows hip hop, gospel and even reggae ("Cruise Control") elements. Although E=MC²was well received by most critics, some of them criticized it for being "a clone of The Emancipation of Mimi". Bleu Magazine's critic said that the "facsimiles aren't terrible, they're just boring and forgettable at this point". Two weeks before the album's release, on April 2, 2008, "Touch My Body", her first single from the album, became Mariah Carey’s eighteenth number-one single on the Hot 100, pushing her past Elvis Presley into second place for the most number-one singles among all artists in the rock era, according to Billboard magazine's revised methodology (however, their statistician Joel Whitburn still credits Presley with an eighteenth). Mariah Carey is now second only to The Beatles who have twenty number-one singles.
