Mariah Carey just made it official — she will NOT be back at the “American Idol” judges’ table for a second season … just as everyone expected.

Mariah’s PR people announced her exit … before further confirming rumors that ‘AI’ producers want to make a clean sweep for next season.

As we previously reported … ‘Idol’ is extremely interested in bringing back Jennifer Lopez to judge next season — and keeping Mariah and J.Lo would clearly be a bad fit … and a pricey one at that.

No official word yet on Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj — but Randy Jackson already announced he won’t be back.
