true, each mariah album has sold several millions. but she was losing steam fast before EOM turned it around. her drops in sales are way bigger than just the general decrease in album sales in the industry.

butterfly sold only half of what the previous studio album sold, there was a notable drop in sales from butterfly to rainbow (especially on worldwide sales). and her career hit a low point on charmbracelet (didn't even chart in the top ten other than in Japan & US) which only sold like a 1/4 what the previous studio album sold. I'm leaving out glitter lol
