Mariah Carey’s ‘Glitter’ Sales Gain 8,374% in U.S. Thanks to #JusticeForGlitter Campaign

Thanks to a fan-driven social media campaign, Mariah Carey’s Glitter album surged 8,374 percent in U.S. album sales in the six days ending Nov. 14, according to preliminary sales reports to Nielsen Music. In the last six days (Nov. 9-14), the album sold 3,000 copies — up from a basically negligible figure in the previous six days (Nov. 3-8).
