Re: Rank first singles (full length studio albums only) (67,318) (67,324) by Bill from the UK I have to agree, Glitter was packaged and promoted like any other Mariah album with singles, music videos, remixes etc. The difference between Glitter and, say, The Bodyguard is that the latter had music from other artists who contributed and other soundtracks usually have score music included too. Even "Lillie's Blues" didn't make Glitter. There's also no "Music from the Motion Picture" prefix. A lot of fans say it's the best selling soundtrack of the year, rather than a rather ill-received career low point (by comparison to her previous decade of success). Personally though I enjoy the album and always include it in rankings and other lists. (Monday 17 October 2016; 16:16)

Sia is over 40 and radio loves her (67,323) by Sheila from United States Sia has no issue getting radio play over 40 years old, do you think it's because she's "anti" with playing into the young/model look that the older divas try? (Monday 17 October 2016; 15:57)

Re: Mad Love (67,311) (67,322) by Edouard from France It is so good, such a great artist. I love her dedication to music, something she shares with Mariah. (Monday 17 October 2016; 14:29)

Re: Rank first singles (full length studio albums only) (67,312) (67,318) by Andrew from UK Once again you are seemingly disingenuous. "Glitter" may be the soundtrack to the film of the same name, but it is, also, a fully-fledged Mariah Carey studio album: it seems designed that it was anything but and the two are not mutually exclusive. The album (and project) was much of a failure so are you distancing Mariah from it? I have a sneaking suspicion that if the album has been a runaway success you wouldn't be claiming what you are.

Re: All I want for Christmas is a #1 (67,309) (67,317) by darrian liu from taiwan I would say that the download/streaming day would have to be download/streaming weeks. From the past charts, it's clear that AIWFCIY is the strongest in the third week of December to the first week of January. Therefore, I think it would be best for the streaming/downloads week to be at the fourth week of December, that's where the peak activity is. Combined with the GP buying and streaming the song, it would propel the song to top 10. I hope Stella realizes the potential of AIWFCIY and come up with a hell of a promotional plan.

Tidal (67,316) by SM from Citizen of the World I use Tidal and iTunes and I always wondered why "Charm" and "Glitter" are not available on Tidal, any thoughts why? (Monday 17 October 2016; 0:33)

Make It Happen remix (67,313) by Bill from the UK Hi all. I stumbled across this great fan made remix of Make It Happen using her live vocals. Thought you all would want to hear it too. (Sunday 16 October 2016; 19:08)

Re: Rank first singles (full length studio albums only) (67,304) (67,312) by B from USA Loverboy isn't the lead single from a Mariah Carey studio album. Glitter is a soundtrack album. When I take that into consideration the features make more sense. She's the featured artist on the songs despite being given top billing. Don't Stop with Mystikal is a perfect example of this.

Mad Love (67,311) by Terna from Nigeria JoJo's new album is a killer. Check it out and support her she's the real deal. There's a shift of attention from gimmicky artist back to singers with the gift and talent that speaks for itself and that's a good thing for our diva Mariah. Fave songs include: Music, Edibles, I Can Only feat. Alessia cara, Rise Up, [censored] Apologies, Fab and Clovers. You'll be pleasantly surprised. (Sunday 16 October 2016; 16:19)

Re: Madonna is Billboard's 2016 Woman of the Year (67,305) (67,310) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah B dahlin you know how that would sound, just listen to her discography. I am also surprised when Mariah says "Rihanna is talented". Like girl quit playing. (Sunday 16 October 2016; 15:58)

All I want for Christmas is a #1 (67,309) by Musti from UK I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I've been thinking that maybe we should organise a download/stream day for AIWFCIY during its peak week in December. I think we can all agree that this is the one song in her catalogue that was made for the top spot. Last year's new peak of #11 speaks volumes, closer to the top 10 than any of singles since Obsessed. #1 might be a tough target but honestly I don't think top 10 or even top 5 would be difficult for this song if it had a little push. If Stella is serious about being M's manager, a solid promotional campaign for AIWFCIY should already be in the works. Focusing on this song would satisfy the record label too, since this song is really one of Mariah's very few strong sale revenues left (which is why she did SSFT in the first place).

Re: Madonna is Billboard's 2016 Woman of the Year (67,305) (67,308) by Musti from UK I'm on the floor. It's true though. I can't imagine their voices blending on any note or key. But it would be buzz galore. (Sunday 16 October 2016; 15:30)

Re: Madonna is Billboard's 2016 Woman of the Year (67,290) (67,305) by B from USA I don't get it either. She's an autotuned sexbot with no vocal talent. I mean I'm not sure how that would sound. (Sunday 16 October 2016; 14:43)

Bill and Mirage (67,303) by Randy from USA That's interesting that you both picked #Beautiful as the first single from MIAMTEC. I said YME because #Beautiful was released so prematurely. But I guess you guys are right. Sort of. (Sunday 16 October 2016; 10:44)

There's no comparison (67,299) by Marissa from USA I wish comparing Mariah to anyone would stop. There is a reason why she's considered one of the top three singers who has ever lived, and that's because she's incomparable. Again, I think the fact that Mariah always wants to be seen as young puts her in a situation where she is never viewed as a legend and always compared to these younger singers as if her career just started 5 years ago. How often do you see people comparing Barbra Streisand to Ariana Grande as if they are equals? Patti Labelle to Rihanna? Chaka Khan to Beyonce? It doesn't happen because we know that those women have all earned the right to not be compared to others. My philosophy is that once you have achieved at least 10 years of success in a given industry, the petty comparisons should end because you're in a different stratosphere than people who just came out. It gets tiresome when people/the media are constantly trying to make Mariah hustle to prove that she's a legend and not in the same category as 20 and 30 year olds. (Sunday 16 October 2016; 7:26)

Rihanna's talent (67,297) by Ty from USA I agree with most of these comments but Rihanna's talent is sex appeal, marketing and great songs. Diamonds is perfection, right? She can't sing a lick but videos and fashion and marketing she has down. (Sunday 16 October 2016; 2:21)
