Yikes! It seems Mariah Carey may have jumped the gun when it was initially announced Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel would be out August 25.While it's not been officially noted, the site Rap-Up.com is saying that Mimi's 12th studio album has now been pushed back to a September 15 release date, where it'll compete with albums from Jay-Z and Kid Cudi.
There's speculation that the album isn't fully recorded yet—but I'd wager that it might have something to do with new single "Obsessed" getting a less than squeal-tastic response from radio, despite debuting at #11 on this week's Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Look for the single to drop faster than Katy Perry's panties at a Lollapalooza tailgate party next week, as the lack of support on the airwaves has blocked "Obsessed" from gaining sales momentum at online digital stores such as iTunes.
Maybe Eminem really will have the last laugh?
