Mariah Carey released her first official single, "Obsessed" on June 16, 2009. It was in support of her 12th studio album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel."
Well since "Obsessed" has not done as well as Island Def Jam had hoped they are now back-peddling. Island has just announced that "Obsessed" is actually just a promo single for the summer to get fans excited for the new album. RIGHT.
Since the track didn't do well, Island and Mariah are now releasing a power ballad (in true Mariah style) that is supposed to echo "Vision of Love" which will now be the official "first" single.
I hate when record labels bull shit. When the chosen "first/lead" single doesn't do well, they always say "oh that track was just a sample/promo for the album, it's not the official single!" Well, if you call is "lead/first" single when it comes out, than it's the "lead/first" single. Just admit it was not the best choice to start a new era.
In other Mariah news, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" has been pushed back twice now. It was to be released on August 25, than September 15, now it is to be released on September 29. We'll see if it's actually released on the 29th.
