So the fact that Mariah is releasing TMB on the 24th which is a Monday... does that whole day still count for the cut off for the Hot 100 that's coming out on Wednesday night?
When is the cut off time anyway?

New wonderful review of E=MC˛!!!!!!!!!!!
E=MC˛ is a bit disoriented for a Mariah Carey album title, considering she flunked Math back in high school, but, honestly, it fits. E=MC˛, according to Mariah, means Emancipation = Mariah Carey to the second power, and this is definitely Mariah at her best. Confidence, something Mariah is not known for, is all over the disc, an example being the most Hip-Hop sounding track on the whole album, mid-tempo bouncer "Migrate", in which Mariah assures us that yes, her 'jeans really fit'. On flirty first single, "Touch My Body" produced by "Umbrella" hit-makers Tricky Stewart and The-Dream, Mariah shamelessly drawls about 'float[ing] away' with a lover 'on the carribean breeze', as well as being given 'what [she] deserves'. All this is sung over a snap-styled, piano-driven beat which wouldn't sound out of place on the songstress' last album, 2005's mega-hit, Emancipation of Mimi. On the dancehall influenced "C.R.U.I.S.E. Control" featuring a rap by Reggae man of the hour, Damien Marley, Mariah tries her hand at Jamaican platois ('pon dem girls on the block', 'no way man, what you tinkan') which makes for a fun Reggae record that would be perfect for playing on the beach on a hot Summer's day. "I Stay In Love", produced by Bryan Cox, is a strong love song featuring amazing lyrics and vocals. Honestly, I haven't heard Mimi sing this way since Butterfly. The South inspired "Side Effects", produced by Scott Storch, is another Hip-Hop joint in which Mariah confesses to still feeling a bit down on '[her] past mistakes', along with Dirty South rapper Young Jeezy, who fits perfectly on the record. One of my favourites, "I'm That Chick" has CLASSIC written all over it. Mariah moans, groans and swoons about her 'ice-cream' tasting/looking bod on a Stargate produced number, which will have the floors running. "Love Story" is a ballad in the vein of Mariah's earlier work. It's a good song, though it runs a bit short in the lyrical department. The '70s inspired "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" is another hit in the making. It samples "Stay With Me" by Chris DeBarge, which is clearly shown throughout the hook. "Last Kiss", along with "Thanx Fr Nthin'" are the album's weakest links, though they are quite good. Both, are ironically produced by Jermaine Dupri, and both are unironically mid-tempos. Another club banger, "OOC", is a party-starting hit, with Swizz Beats' signature horns all over it. Mariah does a bit of French and Spanish speaking in it. "For The Record", arguably the album's best track, is a ballad about letting go. It is a beautiful song that will speak for itself. Another beautiful track, "Bye Bye", reduced me to tears. It is about losing someone very close to you, and wishing you would've told them you loved them before. 'I wish I told you that I loved you, before you passed away, before you left me all alone, before you went away'. Lastly, a Mariah Carey album wouldn't be a Mariah Carey album without a gospel song, and this album's gospel song is "I Wish You Well". A choir backs up Mariah through the track's final minute, and it includes a lyrical line that sums up the album pretty well: 'It was good while it lasted, I'll never forget it' Overall, E is filled with potential singles here, there and everywhere, which means it would be really tough for the label to pick a single. Mariah has done it again.
