The Boy Is Mine (106,617) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Ariana's got another hit coming with this new song. I would've love a collab with Mariah on the original of this song instead of "Yes, and?". Also the video is amazing, I mean stalking the ultimate stalker, Penn Badgley (You and Gossip Girl) and paying homage to Batman/Catwoman universe all in one, iconic. I hope Mariah invests in her music video with concept. Ariana's BIM and We Can't Be Friends music videos both have so much replay value and I love all the homages she does in these videos and previously too in Than You, Next, 34+35 etc.

Article: Mariah surprises with her first career hit on one chart (106,616) by Anonymous from USA

I'm glad to see this too. I've purchased the single and I can't stop streaming it. I do hope it continues to grow. The friends that I've shared it with all loved it and all said it was "different" for her. Positive feedback so far. It's a fantastic song. Now if we can just get an album full of this.

Nice article (106,615) by Anonymous from USA

I can definitely agree here. The lyrics in some songs gave me hope when I was going through stuff at a young age. And still do. MC's music has touched so many lives and will continue to do so. New fans and "Lambs" are born everyday. She's legendary.

I was wondering the same thing too, Matty. All of these different charts these days are so confusing.

Article: Mariah surprises with her first career hit on one chart (106,613) by Matty from Vancouver Canada

What's the difference between the charts "Hot Dance/Electronic song" (Portrait Hopeful Child, as the only charter) and "Club Dance Songs" (Mariah has 17 #1, Triumphant being the most resent)? Thanks for anyone that can break it down for me.

Through The Rain remix (106,612) by Bobby A from United States

No one ever talks about this remix. I love her tone on this remix. When I listen to it, I become so immersed with MC's beautiful tone and how Joe's and Kelly's vocals blend so beautiful with MC's vocals. I always wondered how a Maurice Joshua sped up remix would sound.

Just some Dolly Parton facts (106,611) by Edward from USA

I don't know much about Ms. Parton's music, except for "I Will Always Love You" and "9 to 5", but we can all agree she's the true definition of a Southern belle. She's classy, lovely, just the true epitome of an icon. She has never let her looks overshadow her talent; she proudly embraces her style, and even her iconic girls exude ginormous class.

I loved her in "Steel Magnolias", one of my favorit movies. The cemetery scene was epic.

Just some Dolly Parton facts (106,610) by MusicfanJ from Germany

Dolly is wonderful. Her song "9-5" is my office song lol. I love the lyrics of it.

That she is spending a lot for social projects is something I like too. Plus her humour. A real legend, this lady.

Nice article (106,609) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway

This is a very nice article, and I think we all can agree to this. Mariah's music speaks to me the exact same way, and in some periods of my life, Mariah has been my best friend.

Just some Dolly Parton facts (106,607) by Bobby A from United States

Dolly will release album #50 on November 15th. Her last album was released on November 17, 2023. She began her career in 1955. This lady looks like she is 50 years old right now. Dolly does not slow down. Everyone loves Dolly Parton. This last fact really made me laugh. Her own label is called Butterfly Records. How funny is that?

Sex and drug trafficking is the context for pop culture (106,606) by Geronimo from USA

Sex and drug trafficking is the basic context for popular culture from the military-slave economy of the 17th century Atlantic world to the organized crime-dominated New York speakeasy scene of the early days of "jazz" to the days of hair bands and "gangsta" rap.

Mariah was swimming in sex trafficking and drugs against her will before Tommy, by choice with Tommy, and she was swimming in vice by choice after Tommy.

Meanwhile, ethically serious musicians have always and continue to create better choices and contexts to make a living in music. They have done this, in part, by receiving inherited wealth, by pursuing something more interesting that being a star in a sky erected by moral perverts, and/or by choosing creativity and dignity over being a multi-million dollar slave to colonizers and pimps.

The party animal, the pimp and ho routine, and the insecure, boy-crazy, naughty/innocent air-head tropes all need to go and our tastes must evolve.

I watched the video. I'm no vocal coach or expert by any means but what they said makes sense though. Very interesting. It's all I'm gonna say about it.

The-Dream (106,604) by BFF from United States

Sex trafficking, misogyny, violence, etc. were baked into the image projected by many popular R&B and hip-hop artists - both male and female - in the 1990s and 2000s. It's hardly surprising that these types of accusations would be brought against the likes of R. Kelly, The-Dream, Sean Combs, etc. They pretty much told the public directly in their songs, albums, videos, et cetera what they were about. People were either not paying attention or decided that the behavior was permissible.

It's pretty rich at this point that Mariah has told this story of "escaping" from controlling men like Tommy but then went on to work with people engaged in far worse than anything Tommy has ever done. She could not have known the extent but she could see clear as day the type of image that these people were projecting.

The-Dream (106,603) by MusicfanJ from Germany

It's really disgusting. But I don't think it's just because of the money and fame. A bad character stays a bad character, the same with a good one, with or without money. But if a bad person gets fame it's easier to treat other people wrong for sure. I won't listen to the songs like before. It spoils my joy while listening.

I hope MC won't work again with him, there are better producers out there anyway.

BMA (106,602) by Tevin from USA

Have you all ever heard of a YouTube channel called Black Music Archive? I used to watch his videos all the time, but the lambs are going in on him for his video he dropped yesterday. Him and his "experts" basically used the entire video to bash Mariah calling her whistle register a party trick. SMH.

The-Dream (106,601) by Bobby A from United States

I guess MC won't be working with The-Dream anymore after these allegations. I don't understand why music producers like R.Kelly, Sean "Diddy" Combs", and The-Dream allow fame and money to overtake their moral judgement to use and mistreat women in such horrific ways. No heart emoji today.

Made For Me remix (106,600) by Brandon from USA

@Anthony, the problem is that people love the original and a remix really wasn't necessary. MC could definitely benefit from a high profile duet like Usher or CB but it needs to be an original song and not a remix to a song past its prime. "Yes And" was past its prime and people really didn't care for the original which is why it didn't work. Had MC and AG released the remix as the official version first, it might have caught steam, but most people already moved on when it came out. She needs to move more strategically because unfortunately ageism is affecting her and she hasn't been consistently releasing music to stay in the public eye.

My All So So Def (106,599) by Brandon from USA

I wish MC would start incorporating this version into her show. This version had the energy and the vocals that could really add to the show.

Made For Me remix (106,598) by Bobby A from United States

Well, the remix has gotten absolutely little to no airplay during the past two weeks. I just don't understand why. I believe at this point MC will never receive radio airplay except at Christmas time. I used to think that a duet with Usher or Chris Brown could get MC back on pop and urban radio. However, now I think that a duet with Usher and Breezy would not be played either.

Mariah concert in Brasil (106,596) by Carlos from Brazil

I am really happy to share with you guys that I got my tickets for the Mariah concert in Brasil. I didn't got the tickets for Rock in Rio but for her solo concert which is even better. Who is coming? It appears to be selling fast.

Rainbow25 (106,595) by Edward from USA

Mariah should release a Rainbow remix everyday during Pride Month. At the end of Pride Month, she should shock us all and release a physical CD containing the best of those 30 remixes bundled up with a Mariah Barbie doll, with the head tilted to the right of course, It would be so epic and festive. Can you imagine if the Rainbow remixes were titled Rainbow Extensions 1, 2, 3 and so on? People would go crazy. It would definitely be her next number one.
(Tuesday 4 June 2024; 05:42)

Rainbow25 (106,594) by Bobby A from United States

I don't really know, but I am preducting that MC will release the remix one week before the NYC Pride Festival on June 30th. This way it will have the biggest impact during her home city's Pride Festival.

Rainbow25 (106,593) by Anonymous from USA

I think the Rainbow remix should definitely be released during the month of Pride, like yesterday, the album probably in November when everyone's hearing AIWFCIY played everywhere. Please Mariah release the Rainbow remix already. It's June 3rd.
