12/23/2006: "Mariah sold 349,045 albums this year."

Roughly 30,000 albums per month

About 1000 per day

Nearly 40 per hour

On average a Mariah Carey album was bought every 1.5 minutes in 2006, not including The Emancipation of Mimi

Mariah's total Soundscan, BMG and pre-Soundscan sales total 56.52 million to date. Mariah could be over 60 million if other record club sales figures were released publicly.

Thanks to HolidayGuy and Marc for the Soundscan figure. cool eh?
