Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel
Studio Album
Released on September 28, 2009, "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, after selling 168,000 copies.
The album's first single was "Obsessed," released on June 16, 2009. It debuted at number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100, Mariah's highest debut since "My All," in 1998. The song peaked at number seven, becoming Mariah's twenty-seventh top 10 hit, and stayed in the top 40 for twenty weeks.
"I Want To Know What Love Is," a cover of Foreigner's 1984 ballad, was chosen as the album's second single and released on September 15, 2009. The song peaked at number sixty on the US Hot 100 and became a massive hit in Brazil, where it stayed at number one for a record twenty-seven weeks.
"H.A.T.E.U." was the album's third single and released on November 1, 2009. Even though it failed to make an entry on the Billboard Hot 100, the song debuted at number seventy-six on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, making Mariah one of only five female artists to reach fifty career entries in the history of the chart.
Two re-releases were planned for the album: a remix album produced by the Jump Smokers as well as a duets album titled "Angels Advocate," which was confirmed to feature guest appearances by Mary J. Blige, Trey Songz and Ludacris among others. Both projects were later cancelled.
The intended first and second single from "Angels Advocate" were a duet version of "Angels Cry," featuring R&B singer Ne-Yo and "Up Out My Face," featuring rapper Nicki Minaj.
