Empire State Building Honors Mariah Carey

A few months ago a wrote an entry about the colors of the lights on the Empire State Building. Normally they are white, but several times a week they change to represent a holiday, special event or cause. The ESB even has a dedicated section of its website showing the upcoming lighting schedule and the occasion. This entire weekend the lights have been changed to lavender, pink and white in honor of recording artist and New Yorker Mariah Carey. Ya, Mariah Carey!

Talk about random. Here's a shot from my roof:


Mariah's latest album E=MC2 (where the title came from, the world may never know) is already #1 on the album charts, but the special lighting is in honor of her single "Touch My Body" becoming her 18th track to hit #1 on the singles charts, surpassing Elvis Presley's record. Pretty impressive.

I'm not writing a full review of Mariah's new disc, but I have it and it's pretty good. Check it out.
