About Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands: Mariah fan since 1993.

Re: Caution 93k (89,073) (89,076) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "[Caution] is doing far better than anyone here or at Epic ever thought it would." Not true. I thought it would sell way over 100k. I think the album and singles underperformed. The album was only for three weeks in the Billboard 200 and none of the singles even entered the Billboard Hot 100. (Tuesday 9 April 2019; 09:45)

Re: MC fan collection Germany (88,964) (88,982) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I'm sorry, but that was also the time I stopped collecting articles from newspapers and magazines. Maybe someone else here might be interested. (Wednesday 3 April 2019; 22:13)

Happy birthday (88,813) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Happy birthday Mariah! Enjoy the day with your family, friends and fans. (Wednesday 27 March 2019; 00:40)

Re: 40 million on YouTube views for Caution (88,658) (88,659) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Well, you asked for it. I compared Caution to Charmbracelet and here are the results: 1) Charmbracelet sold over 3 million copies worldwide, Caution less than 200.000. 2) Charmbracelet had two (minor) hit singles: "Through The Rain" (a top 10 hit in 7 countries) and "Boy (I Need You)" (no. 17 in the UK). Caution had zero hit singles. According to Wikipedia, "With You" and "A No No" did not chart anywhere in the world ("With You" only reached top 10 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, it did not enter the Hop 100). So in comparison, Charmbracelet performed 15x better than Caution. (Sunday 17 March 2019; 15:44)

Re: Have lunch with Mariah's former manager (88,488) (88,493) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Have fun in Norway, but that's not where I live. (Tuesday 12 March 2019; 00:22)

Re: The singles this era (88,364) (88,371) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Jay-Z and Beyoncé's joint album has only sold 50,000 copies worldwide." Not true. "Everything Is Love" sold 500,000 copies in the USA alone, not worldwide. "Caution" sold 85,000 copies in the USA. There were albums of Mariah which sold more copies in a single day.

Re: The singles this era (88,349) (88,353) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands You've already mentioned Caution has sold 191,000 copies worldwide, like it's something to be proud of. Instead I would call Caution a big flop worldwide. Music Box sold 28 millions copies worldwide and 600,000 copies in the Netherlands alone. (Thursday 7 March 2019; 09:53)

Re: With You (87,394) (87,397) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I know you're trying to see the positive, but With You is a big flop. It never entered Billboard's Hot 100, and the only country where it entered the regular charts is Hungary. No 8 on Billboard's Adult R&B Songs is not impressive, nor 12 weeks on that chart (Queen Naija is 19 weeks on the chart and is currently at No 1; H.E.R. is 38 weeks on the chart and is currently at No 5).

Re: Jaker20 (87,136) (87,138) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Walter is trying to get attention more than anything because no one is knocking on his door to work with him." Really? After he and Mariah split, he worked with Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Luciano Pavarotti, Kenny G, Ricky Martin, Daryl Hall, Lara Fabian, Tina Arena, Josh Groban, Lionel Richie, Jessica Simpson, Destiny's Child, Michael Bolton, Babyface, Santana, Earth Wind & Fire, Gladys Knight, Leona Lewis, Brian McKnight, Jordin Sparks, Idina Menzel, and many, many others. I would say he is extremely successful. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 14:35)

Re: Question about Glitter (87,089) (87,094) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Here are the chart positions: Billboard Digital Albums: #15 Billboard Top Album Sales: #43 Billboard Soundtrack Albums: #14 It did not re-enter the Billboard 200 album chart. (Monday 17 December 2018; 15:14)

Re: Mariah, Jimmy Fallon and the Roots (87,054) (87,059) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands How can it be from 2016 if the YouTube video was published in 2012? See also: Mariah and Jimmy Fallon in a fun rendition of "All I Want" (Sunday 16 December 2018; 14:08)

Billboard 200 album chart (86,976) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Finally Billboard published the album chart for the week of 8 December. There is good news and bad news. The good news is that Merry Christmas is at No 19 (up 31). The bad news is that Caution is at No 55 (down 50!) in its second week. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 09:59)

Re: New Rolling Stone article (86,408) (86,409) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands People who know me, will know I get mad because of this message. This website also has a news section. (Thursday 22 November 2018; 15:56)

Re: Multiple copies (86,145) (86,146) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Why do you want to but multiple copies of the same album? So that Mariah gets even richer than she already is? Or so that she debuts higher on the Billboard Hot 100? I thought you all said you didn't care about the charts anymore. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 21:46)

Re: All I want for my birthday is to see Mariah Carey (85,886) (85,887) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I'm sorry, that message should've never been posted. There are a lot of nasty messages, and sometimes one gets through. My apologies. (Tuesday 13 November 2018; 18:32)

Re: Current iTunes Top 100 albums (85,857) (85,861) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Caution is at #198? Are there 200 albums in a top 100? (Monday 12 November 2018; 19:55)

Re: Detroit and surrounding areas (85,620) (85,621) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands It's funny that you turn an innocent message from Chris into bashing Andrew. I think everyone already knows you have a crush on him. (Monday 5 November 2018; 00:38)

New name for message board (85,391) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I'm thinking of renaming this message board "B's Mariah Carey Messageboard". What do think of this name? (Sunday 28 October 2018; 15:07)

Re: World tour (85,198) (85,199) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Could it be that's she's only touring the USA because you get a copy of Caution for free when you buy a ticket? This way she will debut higher on the Billboard album chart. Copies given away to foreign fans won't count. (Monday 22 October 2018; 20:51)

Re: Album cover (84,934) (84,935) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I don't think this is the album cover. The caption reads: "You guys can pre-save my new album Caution now and help unlock my album art." (Tuesday 16 October 2018; 13:56)

Re: So sad (84,863) (84,870) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I owe Anthony an apology. Andrew's message shouldn't be allowed and I already removed it. I'm so sorry. (Sunday 14 October 2018; 23:39)

Re: BT (84,499) (84,512) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Welcome RhondaC to the MCArchives family. Just like most families, we have a grumpy nephew, some fanatic uncles and loving aunts. I hope you will like it here. (Sunday 7 October 2018; 23:46)

Article: Mariah Carey on date night with boyfriend Bryan Tanaka (84,033) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Am I the only one who is ashamed when I see that Mariah can not walk alone? (Wednesday 26 September 2018; 15:44)

Re: New release (83,590) (83,593) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Great. So that means it's time for the fake track-lists. (Tuesday 4 September 2018; 17:51)
