More records fall (104,718) by Bobby A from United States Lol. I didn't catch that she replied to herself. It has been one exhausting week for some of us. The Hot 100 chart news was devastating today. Somebody unearthed Crustella after Tanaka's and MC's breakup announcement to the media. Even I messed up bad this week and had to post my sincere apology. No more relationship analysis from me again. I will never be Dr. Phil. Cheers to the new year. I am ready for 2024.

More records fall (104,717) by Edward from USA Why are you replying to yourself? I think you need a break, it's like you're about to self-combust. (Saturday 30 December 2023; 01:29)

More records fall (104,715) by Lady B from USA Point proven - records falling every darn day and no one replies to celebrate, instead posting endlessly about trivial things and managers from what feels like a lifetime ago, before AIWFCIY hit #1. Sigh. (Saturday 30 December 2023; 00:24)

More records fall (104,716) by Andrew from the UK Have a day off, would you? Pretty sure I posted recently celebrating Mariah's 93-weeks at Number One. Oh wait, that's right, I did. I hope for your sake you're hot, honey. Because with a personality like that, you're gonna need to be. Good luck. (Saturday 30 December 2023; 01:22) this is a reply to message 104,715

More records fall (104,693) by Lady B from USA 93rd week at #1, an all time record. 3rd #1 song with 14+ weeks at #1, an all time record. Bravo. Sometimes I get the feeling people are numb to the all-time greatness in our presence, even on this board. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 05:56)

Tanaka (104,714) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Zac Efron" to play Tanaka. Lol that made my day. Hilarious. (Friday 29 December 2023; 17:16) this is a reply to message 104,710

Tanaka (104,710) by Bobby A from United States The Stella/Mishka storyline during MC's life story would be a screenwriter's goldmine. Meryl Streep and Mayim Bialik could play the dynamic duo. Let's throw in Zac Efron to play Tanaka. (Friday 29 December 2023; 12:05)

Tanaka (104,713) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Y'all know Mariah would pull the "I don't know her" on that era the same way there was zero mention of them in her memoirs. (Friday 29 December 2023; 15:52) this is a reply to message 104,710

Stella (104,712) by Bobby A from United States Do you really think that was the case? I think MC was not making sound business decisions from 2014-2018. She let Stella be too much in her personal life. Those years were very turbulent for MC. The whole James Packer engagement and break-up was a disaster. Crustella was too controlling of a manager for someone as legendary as MC. Whitney would not have given someone like Stella the time of day.

Stella (104,711) by Edward from USA The only good thing about Conturella's reign of terror was the lesbian vibes she brought to the House of Carey. Conturella was so empowered, it was like she was going to hump on Mariah at anytime. It was hot. (Friday 29 December 2023; 13:57)

Tanaka (104,709) by Carlos from Brazil I spilled my coffee when I read Conturella hahaha and then you guys brought up Mishka from the grave. Where is this family? Back to Russia? Stella's era was unbelievable. (Friday 29 December 2023; 11:44)

Tanaka (104,698) by Edward from USA Conturella, is that you? During your reign of terror Mariah made a full of herself. No, thank you. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 12:25)

The streak is over (104,708) by Edward from USA According to "Talk of the Charts" midweek prediction, Brenda will be the first #1 of 2024. They tend to be pretty accurate. Sadly, the streak seems to be over. (Friday 29 December 2023; 03:37)

Tanaka (104,707) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Facts. Stella had literally taken Mariah from a legendary songbird supreme to a controversial and trashy wanna be reality star with porn girl aesthetic. And yes I know Mariah is an adult and should be held accountable for her decisions but let's not forget the people you surround yourself with (especially when they're supposed to be your manager and consultant) can influence the way you act. Now that Mariah had an image refresh she should focus on fresh collaborations, fresh content and fresh approach to marketing herself. I hope Mariah knows how important momentum is. Right after the AIW went to #1 , when she was all over she should have rode that momentum and released fresh material and it would have gotten attention. Instead she just kept focusing on Holidays and talking about projects that never came to fruition. She can't just release something and then months later release a video with no promotion and then abandon an album. Caution was a solid album and had it been promoted well she could have had another hit on her hands. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 23:31) this is a reply to message 104,706

Tanaka (104,706) by Bobby A from United States Right. She doesn't need Stella back. What MC needs is a songwriter/producer partner like Jack Antonoff or Ilya. Both of them have done wonders for Taylor's and Ariana's careers. He or she has to understand MC as the legendary artist that she is today. I would love to see Robert Glasper or James Poyser become her songwriting partners. If she wants any Grammy nominations or awards in 2024, she is going to have to step out of her comfort zone. A duet with Howard Hewett or Peabo Bryson would set the R&B world on fire and garner her the recognition from the Grammy committee that she has never received. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 22:21)

Tanaka (104,703) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Y'all must really be trolling because when Stella was in charge of Mariah's business Mariah's image was down in the gutters. It took years for RocNation to build her back up to the legend status that she truly should have been all along. Stella really had her going around LA in her damn bodysuits and put her in a reality show that was a through and through mess. Also not y'all out here missing a thief who stole from Mariah. Bye. Mariah doesn't need Stella's chunky highlighter and cheap leather jackets in her world. I'd rather her not be "relevant". (Thursday 28 December 2023; 19:35)

Tanaka (104,705) by MusicfanJ from Germany To quote Mariah: I don't know her. Seriously that time with Stella was a nightmare. Something I want to forget. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 22:17) this is a reply to message 104,703

Tanaka (104,704) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Not Stella coming back to get her 2 minutes of frame. Lord I shudder at the thought of the time Mishka had control of Mariah's socials. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 19:38) this is a reply to message 104,701

Tanaka (104,701) by Dennis from Miami, FL Who's Maria though? You may conjure Stella by leaving loads of highlighter, rouge and lipstick overnight near the chimney. It will lure Mama Bear. Vernite Stellu bleat. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 14:04)

We need an uptempo song (104,700) by Bobby A from United States Sitting here thinking that music this year was really boring. No one released anything exciting. For the first time in years, there was not a song of summer. I am hoping MC and Ariana Grande give us great uptempo jams for this summer.

We need an uptempo song (104,686) by MusicfanJ from Germany Cool response from Adele. I like her even more that she doesn't feel the need to do a trend for some kids. I get sick if I just hear the word Tik Tok. Lol. I hope Mariah will do her thing without that stupid app too. Good music is needed, nothing more. The best thing about a certain age and mature is that you don't have to follow all stupid trends. A grown-up is above those things. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 15:54)

Tanaka (104,699) by Edward from USA There were also rumors that Mariah had said she wanted to be skinny like kids in Somalia. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 12:43) this is a reply to message 104,692

Tanaka (104,692) by Chris from United States So, weren't there some whispers about Tanaka having charges against him for some sort of scam he was trying to pull off, using Mariah's name? Whatever happened to all of that? Was that untrue? Did I miss something? Maybe this has something to do with that mess. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 05:10)

Mariah and Brenda (104,690) by Edward from USA According to Talk of the Charts, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" are once again in a dead heat for the number one on the next Hot 100 with Rockin' having a slight edge. Stream guys. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 01:50)

Tanaka (104,696) by Andrew from the UK You ought to retract the apology. You simply misspoke. Nobody thinks you are so "stupid" as to think *all* straight men want to procreate. But it is true to say that *generally speaking* men seek to have children by the time they are 40 - as male fertility begins to decline aged 40 and onwards. Similarly, women seek to have children by their early 30's for the same reason. There's rather a lot of literature on this. Whilst not all straight men want - or even have - children, respectfully, most do, else the global population would likely be in a rapid decline (something it is due to do within our lifetimes). So, whilst we will never know what ended the Tanaka relationship, the fact that he is more likely than not to want children, and that Mariah has likely gone through the menopause (or is doing so at the moment), is not a bad proposition. Don't kowtow to any person that calls you stupid. Stand up for yourself. (Unless it's me, of course.) It's certainly not you that has the Dunce Hat on this week. Can you guess who has?

Tanaka (104,679) by Bobby A from United States To everyone on the board and Eric, I apologize for my ignorant comments. I was out of line.

Tanaka (104,673) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Bryan released a statement confirming what we've all probably already knew at this point that they broke up. This was one of her longest relationship and even though at first I didn't ship them (I thought it was Stella's influence and also that Mariah was in a vulnerable state and needed that confidence boost of dating someone hot and young) but over the years they seemed really happy. I never saw Bryan try to use his relation with Mariah to be more relevant/famous. Their relation seemed quite strong because Stella tried to break them up but eventually got fired. The breakup probably happened earlier in the year because Mariah was saying last Christmas was a very bad time for her. Rumor is that they separated because Bryan wanted a family but Mariah didn't (and I don't blame her, her pregnancy was difficult and I'm sure her priorities are different as she already has 2 kids).
