On May 20, Carey used her Twitter page to reveal the title of her 12th album: Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. Its first single “Obsessed” debuted at number 11 and has so far peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it her 40th career entry on that chart. Carey is the eighth woman to amass 40 Hot 100 singles; Aretha Franklin has the most, with 76. The album’s second single will be a cover of Foreigner’s “I Want to Know What Love Is”. “H.A.T.E.U.” will be the third single to be released by Carey and was revealed when she performed at a private V.I.P venue in New York on October 5. The album underperformed in the U.S. debuting at #3 with first week sales of 168,000, considerably less than her previous album E=MC2 which debuted at #1 in 2008 with sales of 463,000 her biggest first week sum ever.
