Carey’s New ‘Loverboy’ Glitters

After reports of being checked into the hospital this week because of “extreme exhaustion,” Mariah Carey may feel a little better knowing that her new single, “Loverboy,” entered the singles chart in the No. 1 position. “Loverboy” is the first single off the forthcoming album, “Glitter,” the soundtrack for a movie of the same title. Carey stars in the film, which chronicles the life of an aspiring pop star. The album will be Carey’s first studio venture with Virgin Records and will be released on Aug. 21.
