Billboard: E=MC² Hot Shot DebutMariah Carey makes for one heck of a hot shot this week as her album "E=MC2" earns Hot Shot Debut awards on three major charts: The Billboard 200, The Billboard Hot 100 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. On the big chart, Carey checks into the penthouse suite to claim her sixth No. 1 with sales of 463,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the best one-week tally of her career and also the best sales week of 2008 thus far. With this triumph, Carey ties Madonna and Janet Jackson for second-most No. 1 albums by a female artist. The three trail only Barbra Streisand, who has eight.
Carey also lands at the summit of Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. This is Carey's 15th charting effort on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
Carey's performance of "Bye Bye" on the April 16 edition of "American Idol" helps propel the track to a No. 23 debut on the Hot 100, as does a healthy serving of digital sales. The song moved 60,000 downloads this week, earning it the No. 11 spot on Hot Digital Songs.

Patricia Gay, the woman who recently helped Mariah Carey drop two dress sizes, has been enlisted to tone up Leona in preparation for her next music video.
An inside source told press, “Some of her team think she needs to be a bit sexier if she wants to have the longevity of female artists like Mariah, Janet Jackson or Madonna. They think that having Leona train with Patricia would be a treat for her because she adores Mariah. She will go to Patricia’s base in the Caribbean for some intensive sessions and then Patricia will visit her regularly to continue the project.”
