Article: Mariah Carey's grunge album release date revealed (112,661) by Dove from United States
I'm excited to hear it. I don't think she'll tour it and I'm fine with that.

I don't think she's aiming at going on tour to promote SUE, it's just that the window to profit from it is getting smaller as she comes to the realization that Roe can't be two years older than her.

Article: Mariah Carey's grunge album release date revealed (112,659) by Edward from USA
I think they're just being practical, it's all about timing. Mariah and her team know that her newer music, while good, isn't exactly pulling in new fans. SUD could be her "Ray of Light" moment, that random left-field project that finally shakes up a sound that's been pretty much the same for 20+ years. And on top of that, she's not getting any younger. If there's ever a moment to drop vault material, it's within the next few years.

She still looks amazing, but when the lighting flicker, her age shows, and the industry is ruthless with aging women. Once she hits 60 and the vocal issues get harder to disguise, that window gets even tighter. She'll always have AIWFCIY, obviously, but if she doesn't lose her skyscraper-style stilettos and refresh that tired Christmas show production, even that could start to catch up with her.

I used to be excited about this project, but timing is everything. This can turn out to be a huge mistake. I don't know if anyone wants a grunge album from an artist who looks half asleep, and walks around like they're trying to balance a bucket of water on their head. I love Mc but this could be totally humiliating, especially if she is going to perform any of these songs.

Interesting development. If this is true, I'm looking forward to hearing this and seeing it released with Mariah's 1995 vocals. What a treat that would be. A delayed anniversary present for Daydream.

Serious question (112,656) by Matty from Vancouver Canada
You should read up on JoJo's career (she has a great memoir), her voice was literally owned by the business and wasn't allowed to release music, that's why she turned to acting for a while. She came back with some amazing independent albums (Mad Love is fantastic). But JoJo has a lot of anger towards how she was taken advantage of by a bad group of business men at such a young age. It's really tragic because she would have been one of the greats. They originally signed her to be the next Aaliyah. (Same team as Aaliyah. And they also kept Aaliyah's music in the vault for years after her death.)

Also JoJo re-recorded all her original albums long before Swift so she could make her money back. Swift took that play from JoJo, she didn't invent it even though she gets all the praise for it.

Close call (112,655) by Edward from USA
Talk of the Charts' mid-week predictions show "AIWFCIY" holding the #1 spot by a mere two points for next week. Translation: we need to stream.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Indiana, Brenda has apparently escaped the nursing home swinging her rocking chair, her walker, and anything else she could grab on the way out. She's projected to hobble her way up to #2, and there's a real chance she could snatch the #1 spot from Mimi if we're not careful, the gap is literally two points.

Sadly, "Last Christmas" is projected to drop from #2 to #4. It's performing well on streaming and airplay, but the chances of it hitting #1 this year are fading fast.

In Your Feelings (112,654) by Edward from USA
It's a budget issue. It would have to come out of her own pocket, and since it’s Mariah Carey, just getting her out of the house costs around $100k. Now imagine shooting a whole video, even a low-budget one.

In Your Feelings (112,653) by jaker20 from US
It's doing really well on R&B radio but I doubt that she'll do a video for it when she didn't even do a proper video for Sugar Sweet which is now the most streamed song in the album.

Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to All (112,651) by Dove from United States
I'm watching this Christmas concert from 2022 and I'm on the part where little Monroe sings with Mariah and she is so adorable. I love that Mariah got to be a mom.

I think Rocky and Monroe would be good celebrities. They're Tauruses so they are good with business and aren't super emotional. Taurus people like quality, so we can get kind of snobby. As long as they stay grounded and humble I think they'll do well.

The worst thing to see in famous people are ones who have no concept of what it's like to struggle or ones who have visible contempt for regular people.

I don't follow The Kardashians but of course I know who they are because they're everywhere. I saw a reel/short of Kris yelling at her driver like he was less than human and it turned me off to her. She tries to come off like a kind and good person but a kind and good person wouldn't do that.

Some missionary trips would be beneficial, I think. I can tell in their little faces that they're kind-hearted. I would hate for them to lose that.

I probably won't. I might opt out this year. I honestly don't want to give these people any more of my money. I think I'll be listening to a lot of CDs and reading more books in 2026.

I'm going to have to subscribe to Apple at least for the month. At least I can also watch her other two Christmas concerts that are on there. It would be nice to be able to buy them on DVD though. Or on Amazon video. That's where I have all of her other digital concerts that are available.

Article: "All I Want for Christmas Is You" notches 19th week at No. 1 (112,646) by Travis from USA
Let's go Mariah. Here's to taking back the record you once held, lost, and hopefully gain back again starting with a likely 20th #1 week.

Don't worry, we all talk to ourselves sometimes. Sending yourself a heart reminded of Beyonce's "I'm feeling myself".

Sorry little mistake, with the relax song I meant "Christmas time is in the air again". Such a beautiful, timeless song.

Here For It All Christmas (112,643) by Stacey from USA
I love HFIA. It reminds me of the debut, Emotions, and Music Box. Not in terms of vocals and lyrics, but the simple fact it's just Mariah and the music. No rappers *coughs JD* refusing to shut up. Just MC and the music. When you're so talented, that's all you need.

For females there is none. I just hope she can write for other artists to be a complete songwriter.

Sugar Plum Fairy Interlude (112,641) by MusicfanJ from Germany
I started a bit late with listening to Christmas music, but now Mariah has got/enchanted me again. I still enjoy her deluxe edition from Merry Christmas. The sugar plum intro is so Mariah. The live versions from the church are a true gift. With the albums MC and MC2 I switch them with my mood of the day. I love MC2 but when I listen to Merry Christmas it also brings back memories. It was a better time, that I really miss. Mariah and the album reminds me of that. I'm very thankful for it. Funny side note: I watched the Peanuts movie and thought hey that's Mariah's intro. Lol. I hope you all enjoy the season although it's such a busy one. "Christmas time is here" is perfect for relaxation.

Serious question (112,640) by Lambi from USA
Bobby A, you're too nice. I did the math, if you averaged all of Kelly Clarkson's records. She wrote about 35% of songs on her albums. Objectively, she's nowhere near Mariah's league. MC wrote all of the 11 tracks in her debut. Pretty much kept that same principle in all her records ever since, aside from the occasional covers.

I thought JoJo was going to be Mariah's predecessor, she wrote 11 out the 14 tracks in her debut album. That's impressive for a 13 year old. She was innately prolific. And I thought she was going to keep developing her writing and become a solid writer as an adult, but nothing really much came of her career.

It's actually kind of hard to think of another artist on par with Mariah's level of prolific songwriting and vocal excellence.

Serious question (112,639) by Bobby A from United States
Keith Sweat said nobody. Lol. I think he is right. Celine has never come close in her career because she is not a songwriter. Kelly Clarkson could have been if she didn't start her talk show.

Serious question (112,638) by Lambi from USA
Who is actually Mariah's closest formidable competition in terms of being a complete singer-songwriter? Is there anyone who genuinely matches her combination of vocal prowess and songwriting talent? Who?

History in the making (112,637) by jaker20 from US
It's absolutely crazy to think that Mariah owned the record for 25 years, then lose it and only to take it back. It's just mind-boggling. Also, I think I just replied to myself before this post.
