...Dylan once sang, "There's no success like failure," a lyric that finally makes sense when you consider the recent developments in the career of MARIAH CAREY. Dropped from the Virgin record label four months ago because of poor sales, the singer was sent away with a $28 million parting gift. Now her failure is paying off again.

To be fair, its major-label debut, Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz (last week's biggest gainer on the Billboard Top 200 chart), shows none of the crass preoccupation with pimping and cash that dominates rap from the coasts.
