(July 28, 2009)
*Some of the most highly-anticipated albums of the summer have been delayed, including Mariah Carey's "Memoirs of An imperfect Angel," Sean "Diddy" Combs' "Last Train To Paris" and Lil Wayne's proprter rock and roll album "Rebirth," reports Billboard.
"Memoirs," was originally due on Aug 25, but will now be released via Island Def Jam on Sept. 15, according to the Universal Music Group business-to-business Web site. Carey's new single, "Obsessed," is at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.
Diddy said via a video interview with MTV News last week that his project's been delayed partially because it's "Jay-Z time and Drake time -- enjoy those guys. But the 'Train' is coming, baby," he warns. "Get your ticket, you don't want to be left out."
Lil Wayne's label rep confirmed to Billboard.com that his release date has also been moved, although a new date hasn't been scheduled yet. "Rebirth" was last slated for a June 23rd street date.
In addition, Amerie's long-awaited return, "In Love & War," which was originally slated for an Aug. 11 release, will now be available on Sept. 8th. Lead single, "Why R U," reaches No. 62 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart this week.
