"The Emancipation Of Mimi" notched the best opening sales week of her career. The album debuted at number 1 and moved 404,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The new album finds Mariah's broad range of musical talents on full display, as every one of its 14 songs bears her signature as writer and co-producer. Carey continues to work with today's top R&B and hip-hop producers, such as the Neptunes, who lend their signature production style to two tracks: 'To The Floor (featuring Nelly)' and 'Say Somethin' (featuring Snoop Dogg)'. The album's other featured guest is Twista, who shows up on 'One And Only'. The first single, 'It's Like That', is one of four songs co-produced by Mariah and Jermaine Dupri, along with 'Get Your Number', 'Shake It Off', and 'We Belong Together'. Fellow Def Jam artist Kanye West collaborates with Mariah on 'Stay The Night'. On other tracks she works with Scram Jones ('Your Girl'), Mahogany ('When I Feel It') and James Poyser ('Mine Again'). Three tracks are co-written and co-produced by Mariah and James "Big Jim" Wright (of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis' Flyte Tyme Productions), including 'I wish you knew', 'Circles', and 'Fly Like A Bird'." "The Emancipation Of Mimi" has sold an estimate 9.2 million copies worldwide to date (February 2006), and has received certifications in many countries: 20x Platinum and 12x Gold. --
