Mariah Carey makes history by tying the Beatles with 18 number one singles. Her new single Touch My Body off of E=MC2 entered lower on the singles charts in late February but climbed its way to the top by April. As a follow up to the critically successful Emancipation of Mimi, E=MC2 has alot to live up to but seems to be receiving mostly positive reviews. Nice to see an artist that doesn't have to use sex to sell records but still insists on it.
Phantom Planet, known mostly for the song California that opened the show The O.C., finally release their follow up to 2004's self-titled release with Raise The Dead. Reportedly a concept album, Raise The Dead leaves behind the dirty garage-rock sound of Phantom Planet and returns to the more fan friendly sounds of The Guest. A good move depending on how much you liked that second record.
