As Apple calls on record labels to rethink their album-pushing strategies, Universal Music may be forced to do just that today, as Mariah Carey‘s forthcoming LP faces more commercial woes…months ahead of its release.

For, after hoping its ‘lead’ single would go a long way to generate momentum for the project, the cut – ‘You’re Mine (Eternal)‘- continues to slip and slide down the iTunes tally with reckless abandon.

Despite premiering to favourable reviews, Mariah Carey‘s ‘You’re Mine (Eternal)’ has been wallowing in the mire since its release two weeks.

Indeed, the track had been taking colossal drops daily on the iTunes charts – crashing out of the top 1000 last week.

And while ‘Mine’ managed a #88 debut on the Billboard Hot 100, it only did so largely due to streams of its accompanying music video.

The singer’s ever-loyal Lambs needn’t fret, though. At least not as much. For the track has rebounded. Somewhat.

Are sales of Mariah Carey‘s forthcoming LP doomed?

If the quality of singles ‘Beautiful’ and ‘You’re Mine’ are anything to go by, the answer to that uncomfortable question is no.

Alas, as many a ‘music head’ will know all too well, the quality of one’s music means very little on a commercial front, if the consumer simply isn’t into it.

It’s for this reason, Camp Carey may have a problem on its hands today, now that her brand new single has slipped, tripped and dipped out of iTunes USA less than a week after its release.

In a testament to their global pull, Little Mix‘s new album ‘Salute’ marched its way to the top of iTunes US — hours before they’d given their first Stateside performance in support of it.

Preceded by single ‘Move, the LP (which is the group’s second) arrived on American shores today following top 5 success in the UK – where it was released last November.
