Dallas Austin (111,754) by Bobby A from United States

He collaborated with Madonna on one of her best albums, Bedtime Stories. We know how MC feels about Madonna.

Article: Mariah Carey debuts in Billboard's top 10 (111,753) by Jamie from UK

Very valid point there Bill, 7 is fantastic considering no hit single. I love this album, at this point in her career the music rather than the charts is more important.

Article: Mariah Carey debuts in Billboard's top 10 (111,752) by Bill from the UK

So Mariah, and nobody else for that matter, is not going to sell 10 million copies of an album in 2025. With these "pathetic" numbers she charted at number 7 on the Billboard 200. The album was also not proceeded by any sort of hit single (let's be real here), so to my mind it's done pretty well. I don't see any other legacy artists from her prime time doing similar numbers or, indeed, still putting out new music. Remember Janet Jackson? Whatever happened to her? 10 years since her last album.

Elle magazine (111,751) by Lara from Middle East

I loved that interview. Also nice timing with the new Billboard week, I hope it will get some people to stream her album.

Article: Mariah Carey debuts in Billboard's top 10 (111,750) by Travis from USA

I don't want to come off rude to the Lambily, however, these sales are pathetic and unfortunately lower than her first week sales of Caution. Mariah currently has 14.5 million followers on Instagram, 12.3 million subscribers on YouTube and 20.8 million followers on X and only managed to sell 39,000 physical copies of "Here For It All" plus the lousy streaming numbers that only made up the rest of 51,000 total album units. It's been almost 7 years since she's released a full album and then this disaster happens. I understand that people aren't going to like everything on any album that she releases, but it's all about support for your favorite artist and she's just not receiving that. I honestly wouldn't be surprised now if it was another 7+ years before we even get another album. This is why other countries like Brazil and Japan get more of Mariah than we do in the United States. The lambily needs to do better, please.

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,749) by Bobby A from United States

I think MC is not going allow another man to play her again. It is sad though that so many men have broken her heart. Fathers are the best teachers for showing daughters how to be treated and loved by a man. MC missed out on those formative years with Alfred Roy for sure. I want to see MC happy again.

Dallas Austin (111,748) by T from USA

I would've loved a twelfth track produced and co-written by Atlanta's best Dallas Austin. I wonder why Mariah has never worked with him. He has a long history with LA Reid and is good friends with JD. Strange they never sent Mariah his way.

HFIA classic sounds without the producer tags (111,747) by T from USA

I love how there are absolutely no producer tags at the start of any of the songs. Maybe that's the benefit on not being on a major label forcing you to advertise for producers. It makes the songs sound more timeless. Einstein has that dated producer tag sound.

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,746) by T from USA

She's gaining his musicality through this relationship. Together they made some good songs and they're having fun. I doubt it's that deep. I actually think the same thing she wanted from Eminem before Glitter but he became a bit too obsessed for her.

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,745) by Mimi from UK

True. I guess I was just emotional after listening to HFIA and feeling empathy for Mariah about what she has shared with us about the hard times in her life that I just wanted to save her from a potential heartbreak. I will just pray for her as I tend to do. Mariah is no fool and she will know what to do.

Ewww, he's not cute. Lol. I started to warm up to him a bit after seeing him looking so smitten with Mariah when they performed PTS on Jimmy Fallon, but that quickly faded as I learned more about him. I will just pray for Mariah as I usually do and hope everything works out for her.

New video interview: Mariah Carey, Kelly Rowland, and Ravyn Lenae (111,743) by Mimi from UK

I loved it. It was too short though and I wish they would delve more into the song writing process and treat this sit-down like a masterclass.

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,742) by Mimi from UK

Same. I almost cried feeling sorry for Mariah. I wish I could message Kristoffer Buckle or someone close to her who could give her a heads up. It shouldn't be this hard to get in touch with her people. Anyway, I hope she finds out soon before wasting anymore time with him. I believe he's mostly using her clout and everything that comes with being with someone like Mariah.

Poor Mariah. It's not easy to find love for someone who's as famous and successful like her, especially being a woman. A lot men are insecure about being with women who are more successful, so the men become jealous and resentful even though they're usually the ones approaching these women who are already successful. The same way Nick had a crush on Mariah, but started getting insecure, jealous and resentful of Mariah.

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,741) by Mimi from UK

I'm shocked that someone of Mariah's stature doesn't have a PI. I found out this information about him quite easily and you're telling me Mariah herself or couldn't run a quick Google search about him or something? Lol.

It's shocking honestly. What's the point of leaving boys like Nick and her other previous men just to get with another boy who cheated on his wife throughout the marriage and has according to sidechicks who are with Anderson been cheating on Mariah since the beginning.

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,740) by Stacey from USA

Seriously, right? Mariah is 56 years old. She's lived long enough to make mistakes, get things right, and everything in between. I don't worry about her choices. She's a grown woman. At the end of the day, I wish her the best. But I ain't losing sleep over what happens.

Mariah knows what she is doing. This isn't her first rodeo. If its beneficial for them both why not, I would too. I mean he's lowkey cute. And they seem to work well together. And he's also a performer so that's good for her imo. Go get it mama.

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,738) by Edward from USA

Mariah's probably been with as many men as she has fingers and toes combined, but some folks still insist on treating her like a 14-year old damsel in distress who needs rescuing. Meanwhile, she's a grown, mega-successful, rich, and ridiculously intelligent woman raising teenagers and living her best life. No one trying to "save" little Miss Carey from some evil men could ever walk a mile in her heels, let alone survive her schedule.

Would it be nice if she found a great man to share life with? Sure. But let's not act like she's lost without one. The woman knows exactly what she's doing. When she says, "I'm a bad bitch, but I'm good company," I believe her. The love of her life, whose name we shouldn't mention, has said a thousand times that Mariah is always in control.

At this point, she's earned the right to enjoy some great, no-strings attached, uncomplicated fun between the sheets with whomever she pleases to share her Carey with. She's Mariah effing Carey, she's paid her dues and her taxes.

New video interview: Mariah Carey, Kelly Rowland, and Ravyn Lenae (111,736) by Philipp from Switzerland

Mariah Carey, Kelly Rowland, and Ravyn Lenae are three distinct voices who define R&B today. In the premiere episode of Elle's "Three Generations", the legendary superstar, the global hitmaker, and the trailblazing newcomer sit down for a rare conversation about the journeys that brought them here. Check out the video here.

How can I get a message to Mariah? (111,735) by Bill from the UK

Didn't any of you listen to Mariah's latest album? She's looking for the dangerous type and likes them dangerous. She can easily reel in a sensible, quiet, loyal gentleman who wants to stay out of the limelight and devote himself to her, but he ain't her type. The whole song is her reeling off her terrible ex's, so doubt anything will change. Mariah's no fool and has been burned enough times that she knows what she's getting into. Hopefully she's just in it for companionship and a good time, however temporary they both know it to be.

I have a feeling she's not into deep with him. More like friends with benefits. She might be with him just for the music inspiration. Somehow I feel Mariah is looking for the love but also know the player type and can't be fooled as easily as before.

Ah okay. I also don't trust him at all. As I said before in one post, I was hoping they are just doing music. But then the rumours started, it could be more. Mariah has had enough sorrow in private life. Another cheating man would be the worst. I so wish she would meet at true soul, not another "artist" and playboy.

Mimi needs to hire a PI. No self-respecting person wants to be in a relationship with a cheater.

Maybe MC knows that he could be playing her. I hope one day MC can find a man who will be devoted to her. This video shows MC was so in love with Nick. She hadn't looked that happy in a long long time.

A hit is a hit is a hit (111,730) by T from USA

The bottom line, unless you are the flavor of the month is that the only way to have better than expected album sales is to have a world wide recognized hit. The songs on HFIA are all great, some even say amazing. But there is no world wide recognized hit that made an impact. Mariah's always had hits, the times she didn't were Glitter, Charmbracelet, and Caution. Those are also her lowest sales. So she sold this new album on her name alone, like Taylor Swift.
