Mariah Carey’s new studio album Here for It All crowns four Billboard album charts (dated Oct. 11), including Top Album Sales, and gives the diva her 19th top 10 on the overall Billboard 200 as it arrives at No. 7.

Here for It All launches with nearly 47,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending Oct. 2, according to Luminate, with traditional album sales comprising 39,000 of that sum. In addition to its No. 1 bow on Top Album Sales, the set also leads Top Current Album Sales, Top R&B Albums and Independent Albums. Here for It All (released via Mariah/gamma.) is Carey’s first independently released project after a career within the major system. It’s also her 16th studio album and first studio set since 2018’s Caution.

On the Billboard 200, Carey achieves her 19th top 10 as Here for It All enters at No. 7. Carey becomes only the third woman with at least one new top 10-charted album in the 1990s, 2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s, following Madonna and Shania Twain. Carey made her debut in 1990 with her self-titled release, and it was the first of her nine top 10s in the ‘90s. She then logged six top 10s in the 2000s, three in the ‘10s and now Here for It All in the ‘20s.
