Images purporting to show Saudi Arabian versions of Mariah Carey’s album covers have recently appeared on the web. Mediabum.com says that “Because of the laws over there her album covers had to be touched up to be made less sexy.” Maybe. It sounds like something that would be done in Saudi Arabia. However, the lack of a clear source for these images makes me suspicious. They could equally well have been created by somebody playing around with photoshop. (And why is there no arabic script on these Saudi Arabian covers?) (And incidentally, I just read that Mariah Carey has 17 Number One singles, tying the number that Elvis had. This is odd because I’m unable to name a single song by her. With 17 #1 songs, I figured I’d know at least one of them.)

saned added these pithy words on They do indeed touch up album covers to hide skin showing. I recall having a Tina Turner CD aaages and ages ago from when we used to live in Saudi and it looked like someone just had a black marker and coloured in her legs, cleavage etc. lol
Mariah Carey has indeed had 17 no.1 singles in the US. The most recent one being We Belong Together.
