Carey signed a deal with EMI-Vi= rgin records earlier in the year for a reported amount of between $80 milli= on and $118 million -- depending on whether she produced four or five album= s for the label. Another reported term of the deal between Carey and Virg= in was that she receive a $20 million advance for each album, $6 million fo= r production of music videos and $1.5 million to promote four singles.
