Epic RecordsIn the wake of Thanksgiving, Mariah Carey certainly has lots to be thankful for, as her new studio album, Caution, has debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 with sales of 51,000 equivalent album units. Of the 21 albums that Mariah has released in her career, only three have missed the top 10, and those were all compilations, among them 2015’s #1 to Infinity and 2003’s The Remixes.
Right behind Caution at #6 on the tally is the soundtrack to the Queen and Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, which moved up one slot this week after selling 48,000 units. The album, which peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200 two weeks back, features classic Queen studio tracks, updated renditions of some tunes, and a number of rare or previously unreleased concert performances, including songs from the band’s historic set at the 1985 Live Aid festival in London.
This week’s #1 album is Delta, the new release by British alternative rockers Mumford & Sons. The disc sold 214,000 units.
