Jae-Ha Kim of the Chicago Sun-Times spoke with Darren Hallowell, product manager at Tower Records on North Clark and Erik Bradley, music director of pop music station WBBM-FM (96.3) about the comeback efforts of Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez. Hallowell says ‘Charmbracelet’ “did way better than we expected.” He explained, “It was weird ’cause no one knew how she’d do. But at our midnight sale [last week], a lot of people showed up to buy her record. And in one week, she has outsold Jennifer Lopez’s [two-week-old] album. Mariah isn’t selling as well as she did at her peak, but she’s doing really well. A lot of people seem to like that she’s returning back to her basics.”
As for J.Lo’s ‘This Is Me… Then’, Cavanah says, “The thing Jennifer has going for her is that she’s all over the place. She’s very in sync with every aspect of her career. She’s on the cover of every magazine. She’s got movies. And her label is doing a great job marketing her. Plus, she has a younger appeal than Mariah or Whitney [Houston].”
Again, these 2 ladies should not be mentioned in the same sentence. One is a singer, songwriter and producing artist the other is pretending to be and has a depth and longevity factor of ice cream in the desert or candy floss in the mouth!
lol jlo’s 2005 album flopped while Mariah’s was the best selling album by a female that year. coldplay and 50 both sold more but they were relatively knew so that’s why.
Jennifer Lopez is awosome
comparing the best selling female artist of all time to a woman who was famous because of her big ass is an insult to Mariah! Mariah is the greatest voice of all time and… wheres J.Lo these days?
