About Robert-Anthony from United States: I have been a Lamb since 1990. I know Mariah. I love her music. I breathe her music.

Merry Christmas 30 (107,774) by Robert-Anthony from United States Target is selling the vinyl for $99. It will be released on 12/13. (Wednesday 11 December 2024; 02:55) this is a reply to message 107,759

Merry Christmas 30 (107,759) by Jamie from UK The audio quality of the St John The Devine convert is far superior on this release than the deluxe edition. Plus the added bonus of Hero. I wasn't going to purchase but after hearing how much better it was I couldn't resist. (Friday 6 December 2024; 14:20)

So happy (107,772) by Robert-Anthony from United States I think all of the recent Christmas interviews, the 30th anniversary, the concerts, and the pop-up bar have taken AIWFCIY to new levels this holiday season. Plus, people are more excited about Christmas this year. Last year was kind of bleak and people were less enthusiastic about the holiday season.

So happy (107,771) by Edward from USA AIWFCIY is already projected to hold the number one position on the Hot 100 next week. Even though it's still an early prediction, the song seems to be performing really well across streaming, radio, and sales. The competition is tough though, RATCT and LC made huge jumps to their respective top five position on the chart. (Tuesday 10 December 2024; 14:16)

Back at number one (107,768) by Robert-Anthony from United States AIWFCIY is back at #1. Wow. People needed some love and joy in the lives last week. I know I do. (Monday 9 December 2024; 20:35)

Article: Wild fight breaks out between Mariah Carey fans (107,765) by Robert-Anthony from United States Baltimore is one of toughest urban cities to live in the U.S. (Monday 9 December 2024; 18:44) this is a reply to message 107,764

Article: Wild fight breaks out between Mariah Carey fans (107,764) by Libra Lamb from USA This is nuts. Trashy and nutty. (Monday 9 December 2024; 17:06)

Marc Shaiman (107,762) by Robert-Anthony from United States Marc Shaiman's two Christmas songs with MC reminds me how MC can just hum the melody at the piano and any piano player can reproduce exactly what she hummed. I just know that is how Christmas Time Is In The Air Again was created. We need an album just solely produced by Marc Shaiman. (Sunday 8 December 2024; 23:56)

One wish or a possible fact? (107,757) by Robert-Anthony from United States I said it already this week, but only 1 like. Lol. (Friday 6 December 2024; 08:43) this is a reply to message 107,756

One wish or a possible fact? (107,756) by Edward from USA I anticipate that All I Want for Christmas Is You will secure two more weeks at number one this holiday season, while Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree and Last Christmas could each claim one week at the top. This would position AIWFCIY just four weeks away from breaking the record for the most weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. (Thursday 5 December 2024; 19:27)

Could it be possible (107,750) by Robert-Anthony from United States I am predicting that Kendrick Lamar will lose steam this week so MC can be number #1 next week. She will face some tough competition for the #1 spot from Brenda and George as we get closer to Christmas. (Wednesday 4 December 2024; 13:42) this is a reply to message 107,748

Could it be possible (107,748) by Shezz from Pk Mariah is projected to be #1 next week by Talk of the Charts. Will Brenda Lee gain steam and take over in the coming weeks? I love how Hot 100 becomes exciting now every December. Bar Song tied Old Town Road last week for 19 weeks at number 1, then got knocked off my Lamar. If Mariah gets 2-3 weeks at #1 this year, she might be in the running to take that title next year. (Wednesday 4 December 2024; 05:30)

And somewhere on the Billboard charts (107,745) by Robert-Anthony from United States Last Christmas is sitting at #2 on the iTunes chart today because it is the song's 40th anniversary. It will definitely be in top 10 next week on the Hot 100. It would have been so cool if MC had planned to release her cover of Last Christmas this holiday season. She really doesn't release stand alone singles like Usher, Keyshia Cole, Drake, and other artists. (Tuesday 3 December 2024; 23:53) this is a reply to message 107,741

And somewhere on the Billboard charts (107,743) by Robert-Anthony from United States Are Mariah and Brenda going battle this year again for #1? It is looking like it already. (Tuesday 3 December 2024; 20:09) this is a reply to message 107,741

Seriously? (107,736) by Robert-Anthony from United States Right on Mimi. I want any artist of today to even try to have the success that MC has had in her career especially in the 90s. MC ruled the 90s so much so that no other artist had multi-platinum worldwide hit albums and record breaking #1 singles for 10 years without a break. (Monday 2 December 2024; 23:26) this is a reply to message 107,735

Seriously? (107,735) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The key word/phrase is "majority of her success". So not all of her success is contained in the 90s. The list isn't for "who peaked in the 21st century". Mariah wasn't irrelevant in the 21st century. She had a second song of the decade, she had multiple #1s, she broke multiple records including becoming the the artist with the most #1's, she is probably the only artist who ended and started multiple years at the #1 position, 7 top 5 albums , 11 top 20 singles, multiple accolades and other stuff I can remember at this point of time. Also AIW single handedly is responsible for how now more and more artists make Christmas albums early on into their careers. And what do you mean she's not a pop star? Of course she is. Pop isn't only bubblegum pop, it's any artist/music that has been popular at a certain point of time, Billboard named her the greatest popstar of 1991. Anyways all of this to say I'm not saying she should top the list, could have been one of the honourable mentions. (Monday 2 December 2024; 22:10)

Billboard 100 (107,731) by Robert-Anthony from United States Yes, Popvortex uses iTunes and Amazon to compile their charts. They never stopped using their data even when streaming data became such a huge thing. By the way, where can I find Spotify and other streaming charts? They never show up when I do a Google search for "Top" anything. (Sunday 1 December 2024; 00:43) this is a reply to message 107,728

Billboard 100 (107,728) by Edward from USA I didn't even know iTunes was still around or a relevant indicator on anything pertaining the charts. (Friday 29 November 2024; 17:04)

Billboard 100 (107,727) by Robert-Anthony from United States The top 20 holiday songs on iTunes is very interesting today. Of course, MC is #1 and numerous new songs from some popular artists. (Friday 29 November 2024; 16:39) this is a reply to message 107,725

Billboard 100 (107,725) by Edward from USA A song could reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, yet rank only number 10 on the Holiday Chart. This happens because each chart reflects different aspects of a song's performance and caters to specific audiences. The Hot 100 reflects overall popularity across all genres, combining metrics like streaming, radio airplay, and sales from a broad audience. In contrast, the Holiday 100 Chart focuses solely on the song's performance within the holiday genre. It factors in specialized radio airplay, genre-specific streaming, and sales data relevant to that category. So, a song might dominate the mainstream charts due to widespread appeal, but its performance within a specific genre may be weaker in comparison resulting in a lower ranking on that genre specific chart.

Crave Records (107,722) by Robert-Anthony from United States You are right, Jamie. This video tells it all. I hope MC and Lee Daniel start filming The Meaning of Mariah Carey next year. It would be cool if her life story was told on film in 2025. (Thursday 28 November 2024; 00:58) this is a reply to message 107,714

Crave Records (107,714) by Jamie from UK Wasn't it because Tommy gave that to her? (Tuesday 26 November 2024; 08:58)

Billboards top artists for the 21st century (107,721) by Robert-Anthony from United States I saw the list and shook my head that MC wasn't on the list. MC has accomplished so much during her career. She doesn't need a magazine or award show to celebrate her already successful career. 2025 is going to be her 2005 all over again. I just know it. (Thursday 28 November 2024; 00:09) this is a reply to message 107,719

Billboards top artists for the 21st century (107,719) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Sad to see Mariah not on the list. Even though her major chunk of success was in the 90s, she's had huge moments in the 2000s and has cemented her legacy by continuing to be relevant and selling out tours almost 35 years into her. Her impact on the music industry is unparalleled. (Wednesday 27 November 2024; 20:13)

Billboard 100 (107,716) by Robert-Anthony from United States The battle for the #1 spot for multiple weeks may be tough this year. Next week will determine how AIW will perform for the holiday season and the potential contender for the #1 spot. (Tuesday 26 November 2024; 19:38) this is a reply to message 107,715

Billboard 100 (107,715) by Edward from USA These are the only Christmas songs on the Billboard Hot 100 so far. All re-entry but Last Christmas. 16. All I Want for Christmas Is You 23. Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree 24. Last Christmas 47. It's the Most Wonderful Time in the World 48. A Holly Jolly Christmas (Tuesday 26 November 2024; 13:04)

Crave Records (107,712) by Robert-Anthony from United States Why did MC's label collapse and never had anymore new artists signed to the label? The label's existence was quietly closed without a word from MC or Columbia. (Monday 25 November 2024; 23:45)

MC 30th anniversary edition (107,708) by Robert-Anthony from United States This is what I found out about the December 6th presave. The St. Johns concert will be released digitally and on vinyl remastered as apart of Merry Christmas 30th Anniversary with the live version of Hero from St. Johns concert as a bonus. (Monday 25 November 2024; 12:08) this is a reply to message 107,706

MC 30th anniversary edition (107,706) by Shezz from Pk Spotify has a pre save for December 6th. I don't want to get too excited but since this is on Spotify it can't be just a new cover. Fingers crossed for a bonus track at least. (Monday 25 November 2024; 07:14)

Merry Christmas deluxe (107,704) by Robert-Anthony from United States The deluxe version of Merry Christmas is going to be perfect for the Christmas party that I am planning. People are buying it on Amazon as if it was released this year. Four hundred people purchased in the past month. (Monday 25 November 2024; 04:38)

Merry Christmas cassette (107,703) by Robert-Anthony from United States It is available now in your local vinyl stores and eBay. The sound is just like the cd and vinyl. (Saturday 23 November 2024; 23:21)

Hot 100 (107,699) by Robert-Anthony from United States I think Edward said last year that Last Christmas could battle AIW for the #1 spot this year. Maybe Sony/Legacy has started something behind the scenes that we haven't found out about yet. LC will be 40 years old on December 3rd. (Friday 22 November 2024; 19:35) this is a reply to message 107,698

Hot 100 (107,698) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Yes, that is very strange. New rule is that an old song has to chart 25 or higher on the Hot 100 to be included on the chart, so how Last Christmas can chart at 38, I have no idea. (Friday 22 November 2024; 15:05)

New album title? (107,691) by Robert-Anthony from United States It could simply be called MC. We knew her first as Mariah Carey, then Mimi, and has always been respectfully called by Jermaine Dupri MC. Her emancipation would be complete with her next album called MC. (Thursday 21 November 2024; 22:31) this is a reply to message 107,689

New album title? (107,689) by Libra Lamb from USA For Mariah's next album, assuming it's Emancipation of Mimi Part 3, what would be the appropriate title and do you think she already has a name for it and what could it be? The (fill in the blank) of Mimi? I don't want it to be like a farewell title because I want more albums after. How about The Proclamation of Mimi, reminding everyone she is an icon. I know it's obviously Emancipation Proclamation speech but I think it could work. (Thursday 21 November 2024; 21:24)

New music? (107,682) by Robert-Anthony from United States I know that was wrong of Chris Brown to do that to Rihanna, but she has forgiven him. The industry has forgiven him. You can't deny his talent and popularity that makes his songs so popular on the R&B charts. To conclude, I think MC just hasn't been approached by Chris Brown to collaborate. I hope it happens in 2025. (Thursday 21 November 2024; 14:33) this is a reply to message 107,679

New music? (107,679) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No to Chris Brown for me. Also rumor has it Mariah refused to sit with him at an event after he assaulted Rihanna. We don't need her associating with another known abuser. If Mariah really wants to go out of her comfort zone I would love to see a duet with Post Malone or Zayn or Harry Styles. Hell why not a sexy song with Sabrina Carpenter. Nonsense is a very Ariana-Mariah type song. Mariah, Ariana and Sabrina on a song would be lethal. (Thursday 21 November 2024; 04:27)

New music? (107,676) by Robert-Anthony from United States A Breezy duet for Valentine's day would set the internet on fire. Their voices would sound so good together on a hot passionate R&B love song. Their duet would be looked at as being creative and stepping out of their comfort zone. I just feel it would be a number #1 song on multiple charts. Who wouldn't love a Breezy and Mimi duet? Mimi needs a song to get the public's attention in 2025. Babyface, Daryl Simmons, Antonio Dixon, Muni Long, and Tank should co-write the song with Breezy and Mimi. (Wednesday 20 November 2024; 22:15) this is a reply to message 107,673

New music? (107,673) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States Why does she need to be creative when the lambs eat up the mediocrity she puts out? Look at the recycled setlist and the basic merch on Amazon. (Wednesday 20 November 2024; 13:02)

New music? (107,658) by Robert-Anthony from United States I believe you are right, Mimi. Based upon the Billboard Hot 100 chart a year ago, AIW made it annual debut at #17. It is no where to be found on this week's chart dated November 16, 2024. It will be interesting if it doesn't make it to number one this year or who her competition will be battling her for the number one spot. Jason Kelce's Maybe It's Christmas is currently sitting at number #1 on iTunes and MC is number #3. (Sunday 17 November 2024; 14:22) this is a reply to message 107,656

New music? (107,656) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If it isn't it'll be due to the oversaturation. AIW was an organic hit because of its timeless feel. But in the last few years there's been so much saturation with AIW, with Mariah fully embracing the Christmas lady persona. I get it that holidays are where the money's at but I wish she didn't push it so much. (Sunday 17 November 2024; 03:33)

New music? (107,655) by Robert-Anthony from United States She is truly being the elusive chanteuse with the Lambs. By the way, I have a funny feeling AIWFCIY won't be as popular this holiday season. (Saturday 16 November 2024; 23:38) this is a reply to message 107,654

New music? (107,654) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter To be honest, if Mariah wasn't reserving this year for something big for this anniversary, what was stopping her from finishing her other projects like MC16, TBL, etc. I get she was doing shows, but they weren't so intense that she didn't have time to finish her projects. I was thinking she's avoiding releases this year to focus on the anniversary. Even the Netflix special I thought it's a documentary turns out it's just a taping of her show.
