Touch My Body, that’s the title of Mariah Carey’s new single taken off her follow-up to the mega-selling album, “The Emancipation Of Mimi”. The forthcoming album is called “E=MC2” and is set to release on April 15th. I think the new single could easily earn her another #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 Single chart but would it remain there for weeks? Personally, it sounds to me like a fast version of her previous hit, Always Be My Baby, but of course, in a different style. After listening to it a few times, I find the midtempo melody quite repetitive and it might not appeal to many who expected something more upbeat.

With 17 No. 1. Billboard Hot 100 singles, Carey is currently tied with Elvis Presley. With “E=MC2“, she may top the Beatles’ record of 20.
