Carey collects her 17th top 10 album as "Me. I Am Mariah . . . The Elusive Chanteuse" enters at No. 3 with 58,000. The debut of “Elusive” is Carey's smallest opening for a non-holiday studio effort since SoundScan started tracking sales in 1991. "Chanteuse" was tentatively earmarked for a release in March 2013, but was then pushed to July 23, then to May 6, 2014 and finally May 27.
The promotion for the new set started back in August 2012 with the release of the single "Triumphant (Get 'Em)," a song which does not appear on "Chanteuse." The new album's most recently charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 was "You're Mine (Eternal)," which spent one week on the list, peaking at No. 88.
