[Armani?]

Shocked Emancipation of MiMi was only a 2 week #1 Album when it had two #1's and a lot of top 10's 💀

[Mariya Takeuchi]

It's wild how few and far between they are  

[Frozen99]

are other mariah's albums not considered r&b?

And is still the #19 all-time female album because of how long it stayed at the top of the charts. It stayed in the top 20 for 31 consecutive weeks before returning with the deluxe edition.

She’ll probably still tie them. Especially if she releases the deluxe & physicals soon

I love Charmbible. It suffered from being post-Glitter, sadly.

 

Rainbow was blocked by Rage Against the Machine   The second week it was behind Faith Hill by 13k copies.

It's so frustrating because had she released both albums in August/September like she did with her previous ones, both could've debuted at #1. Charmbracelet sold well in its first week (240k+) but had to compete with Shania and Tim McGraw.

[cityfolk]

the fact that Jhene, Summer, and Kehlani all got blocked at #2 within a year or so of each other in 2019-2020
