Re: With You Top 10 Urban AC (86,888) (86,892) by B from USA Exactly, darling. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 18:42)

Re: Top R&B albums - back to back #1s (86,889) (86,891) by B from USA With You doesn't looks like a low budget video to me. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 18:41)

"All I Want..." looks like it might hit a new peak (86,890) by B from USA Let's request, stream, and view AIWFCIY ad naseum and get it to #1. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 18:39)

Re: Top R&B albums - back to back #1s (86,886) (86,889) by Edward from USA Most of those folks who are buying "Merry Christmas" are not her fans. They're buying great Christmas music which happens to be Mariah's. That's why the general public is imperative for an album to be commercially successful, unless you have a huge fan base, but sadly Mariah is not popular anymore when it comes to her music, and it is perfectly ok, nobody stays at the top forever. To be honest, this is the first time I haven't felt disappointed because a Mariah album is not doing as we expected commercially, but it's doing so critically, which is more important at this stage in her career. I was watching Ariana's new video and how it broke the record for most views in 24 hours, 54.5 million, and now it has 114 million views in 4 days. I wanted to hate on her, but then I saw a young Mariah in her trying to make it when she was being compared to others, when they said she lacked emotion in her voice. Yes, Mariah has less than 5 million views for low budget video for "With You", but that doesn't make it a bad song or less than some of the most viewed ones. It's good to note that Ariana brings in the money and she has big budgets for her videos just like Mariah when she was popular. I actually think it's liberating not to be checking the charts with anxiety, I'm just letting the music do the talking, for me. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 16:32)

Re: With You Top 10 Urban AC (86,882) (86,888) by enwar00 from usa Slowly but surely. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 16:06)

Re: Top R&B albums - back to back #1s (86,886) (86,887) by B from USA I'm hoping the people buying and streaming her Christmas album also purchase Caution or stream it. Mariah's team should bundle Caution and Merry Christmas together as a holiday special, lol. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 15:56)

Re: Top R&B albums - back to back #1s (86,875) (86,886) by Special K from USA That is crazy. I'm happy for Merry Christmas but then it's like okay, more folks would rather buy an album from Mariah that's more than 20 years old than an album she just released? (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 15:16)

Re: 8th Grade (86,870) (86,885) by Special K from USA Yes I love 8th Grade. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 15:10)

Caution (86,884) by B from USA I think Mariah and her team are going to drop the A No No remix once AIWFCIY enters the Hot 100 Top 10 and she'll resume promoting Caution in January. Before then she'll probably promote Caution while doing her annual Christmas festivities. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 14:29)

Re: Top R&B albums - back to back #1s (86,875) (86,883) by B from USA Tis the season. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 14:26)

Re: With You Top 10 Urban AC (86,865) (86,882) by B from USA But I was lying when I said it was climbing the Adult Contemporary and R&B charts, smh. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 14:03)

Re: Stay Long Love You (86,872) (86,881) by B from USA It sound like a song that could be the song of the summer. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 13:56)

Re: RJ112 (86,868) (86,880) by Licia from USA Now I definitely understand your crush on the Rock. That man is beautiful. I agree with the hubby on Banaka. Lol. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 11:58)

Re: Mariah Carey shelved projects (86,874) (86,879) by Tijl from Belgium I honestly can not imagine Mariah playing Evita. Our girl has many talents, but that is a bridge too far. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 10:39)

Re: Stay Long Love You (86,872) (86,878) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter SLLY is my second favorite after ANN. That's why I was surprised that not many people on this board and UKMix like that song. That song is catchy and sexy and should be a single. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 10:26)

Re: 8th Grade (86,855) (86,877) by Hector from Mexico God bless the studio tricks. 8th Grade became my second favorite after The distance. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 07:30)

Re: For the life of me (86,852) (86,876) by Hector from Mexico Only time will tell. I wouldn't call Caution a success yet. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 07:29)

Top R&B albums - back to back #1s (86,875) by enwar00 from usa Mariah replaced herself on this chart this week. Caution debuted at #1 last week, and Merry Christmas is #1 for the first time this week. Crazy right. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 07:13)

Re: Mariah Carey shelved projects (86,849) (86,874) by DivergentIntel from United States Yes. Angels Advocate is definitely one shelved project that we know about. Angels Advocate is said to not have been released because Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel album underperformed or did not do as well she hoped it would have or should have supposedly. It is also very likely that the Angels Advocate remix album was not released last minute or shelved because of complications with miscarriages and her trying to get pregnant. Notice that she and Nick Cannon tried to get pregnant from the beginning of her marriage and how much of an ordeal she had to deal with and go through just to give birth to Roc and Roe. There are other shelved projects that Mariah Carey has spoken about or ideas presented that never went through. Mariah Carey was supposed to release some sort of VHS or DVD of Daydream tour to be released in December 1996 or January 1997 in Japan or possibly the USA or worldwide even, but some speculate that such was not released at last minute because it is alleged that Mariah Carey walked out on Tommy Mottola on just shortly before Christmas 1996. 1996 I believe would have been a good year for Mariah Carey to release Evita had she starred in it. Fall 1996 release date for the movie and soundtrack would have been perfect for Mariah Carey. I also believe if Mariah Carey had released an urban influenced or hip hop influenced remixes album in 1996, it would have been a good move, or something to hold or glue fans until she released her 1997 Butterfly album. I think if Mariah Carey released a Christmas album every 2 years in the 90s, that would have been a good career move too. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 06:37)

Re: 8th Grade (86,867) (86,873) by Dove from United States I know that's probably not what it's about. It's just what it makes me think of. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 05:01)

Stay Long Love You (86,872) by Robert-Anthony from United States Anybody digging Stay Long Love You now like me? This my jam number 2 now. Kind of reminds me of a sped up Joy Ride. I am just wondering if Caution is going to give us a different perspective on vinyl. Vinyl always brings out a more studio live recording sound than CD or mp3. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 02:28)

One Mo' Gen and Portrait (86,871) by anonymous from UK One Mo' Gen just seems to get better each and every time I hear it. I loved it from first listen but now it's fast becoming one of my fav MC album tracks ever. I don't know what it is about it that has hooked me so much, but wow. It's actually delicious, if audio can be described as such. Maybe I just need to get laid? Ahem, anyway, moving on. Portrait is still my fav on the album. Narrowly pushing past One Mo' Gen. Again, not sure why, but it feels kinda sweeping and epic, like a true old school MC song, in the way only she can do old school. Or perhaps not old school, but timeless. The strings are stirring and whereas with her precious introspective songs I felt the pain, this one I can hear or feel (or both) a stoic determination and steadfastness I've not heard from MC before. This whole album, it's almost like I can tell she's in a good place, emotionally and spiritually. I don't feel an emotional dumping, if I can be so ineloquent. I feel more like I'm hearing stories and experiences, as opposed to having using music to expunge herself of hard feelings. In a nutshell, MC is telling us about things, calmly relating, instead of unloading and damn the consequences. Caution as an album is just gorgeous. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 02:17)

Re: 8th Grade (86,869) (86,870) by Robert-Anthony from United States Special K this is my jam. As far as I am concerned, the best song on Caution. The vocals are perfect. Reminds me of a high school crush on someone and they are not paying you any attention. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 01:49)

Re: 8th Grade (86,860) (86,869) by Special K from USA Whatever. No just kidding. If Terna likes it, then I like it. Not. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 01:21)

RJ112 (86,868) by Special K from USA I posted a new pic just for you. To be honest I won't lie my hubby thinks Bryan looks like a little boy. He said I come home to a 16 ounce Tbone steak every night while Mariah goes home to a 2 ounce sirloin. Usually we get into it about me crushing on Dwayne Johnson while he throws Gina Torres up my face. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 01:17)
