Article: Mariah Carey sets a new record (87,525) by Betty from Canada Even Forbes thinks that MC has a shot for a historic 19th #1, lambs are going to have to go harder in 2019. And maybe continue streaming into the New Year to avoid setting another record? (Thursday 10 January 2019; 13:29)

Re: Caution #1? (87,519) (87,524) by Ricardo Edwards from New Zealand What? I see Ella Mai at Number One. I see Mariah With You at #20 on RnB songs. I just don't see Caution on any chart. I know it must be somewhere if Yawl is saying it is. But actually where? Hahaha. (Wednesday 9 January 2019; 17:52)

Anyone into collecting/working with multitracks? (87,523) by oopargentina from Argentina I've been doing so for a while with Adobe Audition. Just wondering if there's any lamb around to share knowledge about the experience of creating new mixes and so. Love from Argentina. (Wednesday 9 January 2019; 15:52)

Re: R. Kelly (87,520) (87,522) by RibbonB from USA Yeah, our it out there, because people will Google anyway. They say R Kelly's Spotify numbers increased since the Lifetime series, some have speculated that many young watchers really didn't know his music. Same is surely speaking out. There are other podcasts where he goes into even more detail. (Wednesday 9 January 2019; 12:59)

Re: R. Kelly (87,502) (87,521) by Marissa from USA Aww Special K I'm so proud of you for giving up his music. I definitely get it, the man is a musical genius and I think people were relieved that he was acquitted so they could go on listening to the music. I think there's something that happens in people's minds where they see someone never truly being held accountable and they think, "Maybe he's not that bad after all since nothing ever happens to him. I don't want to judge based on rumors" and block it out of their mind. I was never a real fan but It Seems Like You're Ready and Step in the Name of Love were in my library, but are now deleted. I wonder how Mariah feels about all of this. (Wednesday 9 January 2019; 06:37)

Re: R. Kelly (87,517) (87,520) by Special K from USA I love how Nick let's it be known straight up he worked with R Kelly. Jay Z and R Kelly had a huge fall out. When they went on tour together R Kelly had a diva fit and left the stage. That tour was canceled. Wow, straight up the Best of Both World's CD is off the chain. Freaking trash bucket R Kelly. (Wednesday 9 January 2019; 02:50)

Re: Caution #1? (87,518) (87,519) by B from USA It's the R&B Album Sales chart not the chart that tallies views, streams, and sales. (Wednesday 9 January 2019; 01:22)

Caution #1? (87,518) by Ricardo Edwards from New Zealand Um I've read Caution has returned to Number 1 on Top RnB chart. But I can't even see it on any chart. iTunes included. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 23:47)

Re: R. Kelly (87,512) (87,517) by RibbonB from USA Check this out. Most people ignore anything Nick does or says now, but he has done interesting chats on his channel. This one is with Dame Dash about R Kelly and Jay Z. Jay X has had a long association with the "pedo piper". One good thing that can come from this is the downgrading of "pimp culture" in hip hop and Hollywood in general. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 21:31)

Re: R. Kelly (87,508) (87,516) by MusicfanJ from Germany As I said before I have cd's from him from the 90ies. It all started with "I believe I can fly" too. But with all I know now, I will never be able to really enjoy the music again. I will keep the cd's but I won't buy any new music or a featuring. It's really a shame that so many artists think they are above the law. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 19:35)

Re: With You (87,462) (87,515) by B from USA I think you've confused Mariah with Beyonce. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 18:28)

Re: Caution returns to Number One (87,498) (87,514) by B from USA Without any promotion. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 18:14)

Re: R. Kelly (87,508) (87,513) by B from USA So, because he wrote Toni's I Don't Want To I shouldn't listen to it or watch the video on YouTube? (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 18:08)

Re: R. Kelly (87,502) (87,512) by Licia from USA I'm still going to listen to all the music I have of his. I mean if I completely got rid of all his music I'd have to get rid of a lot of other artists music that I love because he's written for and produced for so many of them. It sucks. I haven't paid for music by him since the videotape and even then I still wasn't thinking that the situation was this bad. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 16:10)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shows off a toned figure (87,504) (87,511) by Lee from USA My point exactly. No evidence, but spread around the world anyways. She should have destroyed that witch when she had a chance. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 15:58)

Re: Caution returns to Number One (87,498) (87,510) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I really did not have any expectations for Caution from a charting standpoint at this time in her career with the general attitude in the music industry toward artist over 40 and the hits Mariah has taken for her public image, so this is nice for her. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 14:52)

Re: R. Kelly (87,502) (87,509) by Bill from the UK If I remember correctly, at the time he released the (still) amazing Ignition Remix, everyone quickly forgot about all the charges against him. Also get your point about not liking Caution but appreciating it. I never listen to E=MC2 or Memoirs that much, but when I do, I enjoy every single song. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 14:24)

Re: R. Kelly (87,502) (87,508) by Sarah from Netherlands Special K: Hey, I absolutely feel ya on that. When I Believe I Can Fly came out with the Space Jam soundtrack, Step in the Name of Love, the man's musical genius is undeniable. So it's understandable. That said, I do applaud you that in spite of that you no longer want to support him. B: I know what it means. The problem with that is that with supporting his music/art you're putting money directly into his pocket that will allow him to continue doing what he's been doing. So if you're OK with doing that, nobody can stop you, of course. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 10:18)

Re: MC and judging R Kelly (87,494) (87,507) by Sarah from Netherlands Well, you're right about the part where it's sort of scary that a television special can spark all this outrage. But the thing is: it didn't reveal a lot of new things from what I gather (haven't seen it). These things were always a public secret. Is he an anomaly? Good chance he's not. Does that mean we should let it slide and continue to celebrate him as the general public? See, I don't think so. I deleted all his music off my iPod years ago and will call other people out for supporting him. Same as I would for people who still support Weinstein, Woody Allen, Bill Cosby etc. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 07:23)

Re: With You (87,442) (87,506) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Adele's music is more mature, but they can all sound same-y, way more than Mariah's material can. Mariah can go overboard with the eternally 12 shtick at times, but I take that as her still willing to have fun and include less mature songs in an album to keep things more interesting. Don't get me wrong - interesting is not equivalent to childish or shallow, but Mariah is a much more versatile artist who is more willing to experiment. Adele is great, but she has yet to put out an album that actually showcases her creativity. Yes, her formula still works, but she can only make another version of 21 before people start to get tired. 21 and 25 are great, but 19 still makes for a better listen overall because of the variety of music styles present in it. Mariah has done most of timeless stuff in the past. She's still capable of making that type of record today. Of course we wish she'd make more of that than the tracks that pander to the younger generation, but at least she has managed to find a healthy balance between the two types when most artists have trouble experimenting without sounding too desperate or losing their artistic identity in the process. That's why critics aren't complaining about Mariah's output anymore. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 04:51)

Re: R. Kelly (87,489) (87,505) by RibbonB from USA It's very sad how many parents are willing to sell their kids basically. There are lots of unclean hands involved, including law enforcement if he's running an actual sex trafficking ring. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 04:46)

Article: Mariah Carey shows off a toned figure (87,504) by Nikki from usa She didn't have gastric bypass. That was a rumor started by Stella. You'd think most would've caught on to that when Mariah was never out of the public limelight for more than 3 days at a time. That's not a weekend kind of surgery. Mariah had begun working out over a 5 month period than was put on a specific 11 day liquid diet designed for her to melt fat and increase her metabolism in October. Mariah's nutritionist had a brief article about it, but it got swallowed up under all of Stella's "surgery" rumors. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 04:41)

Caution (87,503) by B from USA Is back at #1 on Billboard's R&B Albums chart. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 04:16)

Re: R. Kelly (87,489) (87,502) by Special K from USA "Trash ass". I love it. You know I hate to admit it but I was a huge R. Kelly fan. I gave him a pass about Aaliyah because like you, me and Aaliyah were about the same age so I really didn't care. I never watched the video tape so when Kells was found not guilty of the child pornography charges I just figured "oh well" and still continued to buy his music, etc. I just feel so bad that I supported this man and was seriously a true fan. I got to be honest, I am going through R Kelly withdrawals. I have almost all of his albums. Sorry but alot his songs are good memories for me. It's like I really can't listen to Chocalate Factory no more? Not even Stop Into the 90's or A Woman Scorned? How about the remix to Gotham City? What about the R double album? All those dang hits. I know I sound past pathetic about some trash bucket creep. With that said I promise you I will no longer support R Kelly. I am so sorry that it took me this damn long to realize the truth. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 04:14)

Re: Portrait (87,493) (87,501) by Susana from USA Yes, I remember crying along with her to Fields of Gold at the Olympics. That pure emotion is unbeatable. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 02:25)
