Mariah Carey's latest album leaks onto the internet

A week before its scheduled release Mariah Carey's latest album, E=MC2 leaked onto the internet.

E=MC2 isn't due out until April 15th but it made its way onto the internet this weekend. The album features production from Jermaine Dupri, B. Cox and DJ Toomp. Additional collaborators include will.i.am, Stargate, Nate "Danjahandz" Hills, James Poyser, C. "Tricky" Stewart and The-Dream.

Mariah recently made Billboard chart history, overtaking Elvis Presley's record for No. 1 hit songs with her hit "Touch My Body." The track earned the songstress her 18th No. 1 single and places her second only to the Beatles for most No. 1 hit songs.

"Touch My Body" also made history in its debut week, with a digital tally of 286,000 downloads. The song scored No. 1 on Hot Digital Songs and even outshone Mariah's Island Def Jam labelmate Rihanna's smash single "Umbrella," which counted a whopping 277,000 downloads.

As of press time there has been no word from Island/Def Jam on how they plan to combat the problem.

E=MC2 hits stores April 15.
