Mariah Carey's riding a wave
It's been a good month for Mariah Carey.
When her current single, "Touch My Body," hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 the first week of April, it became her 18th hit to top the charts passing Elvis Presley (who had 17) and putting her second only to The Beatles (who had 20).
Madonna bested a Presley record the same week -- bypassing him for the most Top 10 hits with her 37th, "4 Minutes." But this isn't about her.
Carey also made an appearance on "Oprah" on Monday to beam about how she now makes sure to take a lunch break and sleep six hours a day to maintain her sanity.
That little promotional stop -- coupled with this week's guest stint on "American Idol" -- should ensure that her 10th album, "E=MC2," which bowed Tuesday, will debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart next week.
And you know what? Good for her.
Carey's career has been plagued with so much unevenness.
