Mariah Carey‘s new album may be experiencing “elusive” sales, yet that hasn’t stopped the diva from garnering any face time.

Fresh from launching a new line of Go N’Syde beverages with Kevin Liles (Mimi has a flavor christened “Butterfly”), the songbird took to the streets of New York City yesterday – posing for an impromptu photoshoot.

Like most, we’re perplexed as to why Mimi seems to have halted promo for her ‘Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse’ LP just one week after its release. Still as the age old adage goes, all publicity is good publicity…even if on the street side.

“Dahlings” peep more from the 44-year-old’s “festive” moment below…

Disastrous might be one word to describe the current state of Mariah Carey’s career, now stained in the commercial mess that is new album ‘Me.I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse’ and talk that the icon’s fun in the chart sun has now come to an end.

Unfortunately, while other artists have seen LPs that failed to fly in the US fare better in smaller markets, this week has brought with it further shame for ‘The Chanteuse’, which slipped 40 spots in one week in the United Kingdom..a fortnight after its release.

Find out why the UK arm of her promo machine needs a new line of work below…
