iTunes USA (44,134) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow Chanteuse is number 4 on the US iTunes charts (it was number 3 just a while back). US lambs please do your part and take it to number 1. I am hoping for a #1 debut, but in case that's not possible, our girl at least deserves this album to eventually top the charts.

Lee / Supernatural and creepy voices (44,133) by Edward from USA Lee, if you think that dem babies' voices sound creepy, you haven't really heard creepy baby voices, go to YouTube and you'll hear. I went and revisited the track looking for any indication of creepiness on it, and I didn't find anything remotely creepy, annoying at times, but not creepy. Even when I tried to imagine that it was being played at a funeral placing myself in the mood that you probably were when you were listening to it. Nothing in the lyrics, the tone, the melody conveys sadness, but joy. I don't personally like all the giggling on the track, because it takes away from the actual singing, but dem babies sound just like happy babies. And when Roe says she's a chanteuse, it is to die for. (Tuesday 27 May 2014; 2:46)

Anthony Basco / Elena / Alexis / Bill / B (44,132) by Tarraga from New York City Anthony, Elena and B, I absolutely love E=MC2 too. I don't think that it is filler/light album like some people has said here but I respect everyone's opinion. Actually Anthony we have a very similar top 5. Mine stands as: 1. Charmbracelet 2. Me, I am Mariah 3. Emotions 4. Butterfly 5. E=MC2. I, like you, was blown away by MIAMTEC. Every single song is a masterpiece. I also cried after I listened to Cry. Best opening ever for an album. I also believe that TAOLG is one of the best songs Mariah has ever done. I feel a very special/personal connection whenever I listen to it. Alexis, I also think that Cry could be about her miscarriage. Bill, the same happened to me with Triumphant. I actually love it now. I have added to my MIAMTEC album Triumphant and Almost Home and the album couldn't be more perfect. (Tuesday 27 May 2014; 0:54)

Mariah got me again (44,131) by Licia from USA The other night while I was at work I finally got to sit and listen to the album. I mean really listen to the words. I got to Heavenly and I was a mess. I boo hooed so bad. My coworkers thought I was crazy. I have been a fan since VOL and throughout her career there have only been two other songs that make me cry when I listen and that's FLAB and MSG. Her other songs were sad, but I couldn't relate to them ever. Anyway I just wanted to share my moment of being turned into a blubbering fool by this woman. Do any of you have those moments?

Mariah's journey is not about break up (44,130) by Gilles from Malta It is a journey as Mariah said. So, for me she explained all the emotions that she went through in her sentimental life ex boyfriends till achievement Marriage and Twins. If think it would make sens for all the people who has been in that type of achievement. ex-relationship, marriage, children. Stop thinking about her private life, do not get that far and do not interfere because you will never know or you will encourage media to spread freaky stuff. (Monday 26 May 2014; 23:04)

Clean versions (44,129) by Twisterman from Brazil I also think that a song can be very well produced and have a deep lyric, however, if the song has some words that are not nice (for some), and have the option to get a clean version there is nothing wrong. For example, if there is a version of YDKWTD without Wale in intro, many lambs will like this, but does not mean that we no longer hear the album version bcause he blew the begin.

Opinions (44,128) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales All are fair enough and all are valid. However, just for a different view, I love Supernatural and I almost cried the second and third times I heard it because I could really feel the love MC has for those kids and the love they have for her. It felt like watching a very tender and personal moment and I feel privileged to be privy to that. Just my two cents. (Monday 26 May 2014; 22:42)

Am I the only one who thinks One More Try is about the miscarriage? (44,127) by Alexis from USA The heartbeat at the end (given that they learned the pregnancy was unsuccessful via ultrasound), the "I don't want to learn to ... think that you're mine" being about how scary a new pregnancy is after a miscarriage. Anyone else think this? (Monday 26 May 2014; 22:39)

Lee (44,126) by Elena from The Netherlands Wow, Lee. You kind of ruined the song for me now. I'm horrified by little chilldren in horror movies. I've never for one second thought that Supernatural was sounding creepy. I'm just going to have to pretend I've never read your post when I'm listening to that song now. It's not my gaborite track on the album, but I think it's really cute, MC sings beautiful here and I don't want to skip it. Oh dear, it's very controversial, that post of yours on this board. (Monday 26 May 2014; 22:34)

Lee / Johnny (44,125) by Bill from the UK Lee, it's not really fair to tell somebody to not buy/download a song because they're put off by the obscenities in the lyrics. Plenty of us have children and have to monitor what songs are played or simply don't appreciate that kind if language, whether it comes from the mouth of the rapper du jour or Mary Poppins herself. #Beautiful is a great song. I like the structure, Miguel's caramel vocal tone, the instrumentation, the guitar, the driving beat, the theme, the vocal arrangements, to me it is a fantastic song and one of the freshest sounds Mariah has released in a long time. I'm not going to fold my arms stubbornly and miss out on it, but if there is the option of a clean and explicit version, I can choose the clean. I'm not anti-censorship in the slightest, but my character and background just doesn't appreciate the "n word" being bandied about freely, and I won't be alone in feeling like that, so the choice should always be there.

Supernatural (44,124) by Lee from UK This may sound controversial but to me this song is quite sinister. The voices of Roc and Roe gave me chills but not the good kind. I feel like I am in a horror movie when I listen to this song. I have tried to get over this by listening to it a number of times on a loop but now I am left feeling like this is a song that would be played at a child's funeral, especially the last minute or so. It really gives me the terror goosebumps. (Monday 26 May 2014; 20:58)

Deflated (44,123) by Lee from UK There are only 2 songs I actually enjoy on this album. Make it Look Good and #Beautiful. I enjoy It's A Wrap and Betcha Gon Know but as we know, they were not meant for this album. It just feels like an album full of fillers instead of an album full of singles. I had high expectations of this album but it has fallen short for me. I had high hopes for One More Try but it just didn't take me anywhere. (Monday 26 May 2014; 20:54)

The highest MIAMTEC has placed on UK iTunes today is at #7 (44,122) by JC from UK I had great joy when I woke up this morning and saw the album already downloaded and ready for a listen on my iTunes. To be completely, I almost forgot about it, but I guess that just because it was early haha. Anyway, I really like One More Try but the only thing that's keeping me from it is emotion. I'm really not feeling the emotion in her voice. Also, anyone else noticed how Cry. is the only track to have her vocals be a bit "rough"? I agree with the album showing a glimpse of Mariah and Nick's marriage. A fan asked her on twitter whether there are any songs on the album about Nick and she answered with "always keep the inspirations behind my songs vague". I don't think this album is very subtle at all. (Monday 26 May 2014; 20:50)

Johnny (44,121) by Lee from UK I don't understand your dilemma. Why not listen to the songs the way they were written and meant to be heard? If you don't want to listen to the swear words then just skip those songs. I don't understand the point in having swear words covered up in songs (especially if you as a listener know what the word being covered up is supposed to be). Knowing the word and not hearing it, is the same as hearing it as you know what it is. If for some reason that makes you uncomfortable then don't download those songs. I am against censorship of any kind. I think a warning should be given that explicit lyrics are present and then you as an adult should make the informed decision as to whether or not you are going to listen to it.

Jelly (44,120) by enwar00 from usa I feel like the only person who hasn't heard the album yet. Today is going to drag, but thankfully it's hot in Phoenix so I can swim and have some Coronas to get my mind off the wait. Enough about me, I'm glad so many of you are enjoying MIAMTEC. It's def calmed the board down huh. (Monday 26 May 2014; 20:37)

MIAM clean/explicit and Nick (44,119) by Bill from the UK I have a Spotify account so have been streaming the album for most of the day. I haven't seen the clean version on the iTunes UK store, so I'm holding out purchasing the album until such a time. I actually cancelled my pre-order, because as somebody said here, the older I get, the more I find the cursing somewhat immature and offensive. I get it's a culture thing but Mariah is a good enough songwriter to not fill her lyrics with curse words. Not sure who she's trying to impress lol. Anyway, as for the album being about Nick, I doubt she'd be so brazen as to cuss out her husband on her new album, especially as she writes in the notes how her family is a "treasure", that was so lovely to read. She has truly been blessed with her twins and a husband who is clearly besotted with her. (Monday 26 May 2014; 20:20)

Johnny (44,118) by enwar00 from usa I'm having the same problems, not sure which version to get tomorrow. I already have TAOLG but don't mind having the MOAIA tracks on there, though not necessary. Decided against the Target one in spite of the cool cover lol. At least we have all day to decide. (Monday 26 May 2014; 20:19)

E=MC2 (44,117) by B from USA I love this album. Side Effects, For The Record, I'm That Chick, Cruise Control. It's a great album from a woman at the top of her game. She sounds so confident on this album. (Monday 26 May 2014; 20:04)

Well it's a wrap (44,116) by Danny Cedar from uk I am pretty sure now the entire album is telling us whats going on between Mariah and Nick, if you listen to the lyrics of each song. And she has said previously it's a journey. Even to how the album is sequenced and the reasons The Wrap and Betcha Gon Know are included and the parts with Mary at the beginning, Mariah has never been so subtle. Also One More Try is very appropriate. I'm obvously speculating but I wouldn't be surprised taking into account Mariah's childhood they are keeping up appearances for dem babies and this is her outlet. Might be wrong. (Monday 26 May 2014; 19:35)

Help get the word out (44,115) by T from USA Use social media the way it's meant to be used. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, do it all. Upload pictures and statuses. Remind people and purchase a few extra copies (on separate receipts) to help encourage a #1 debut. Go Mariah. This album is her best in years. (Monday 26 May 2014; 19:25)

Mastered for iTunes (44,114) by Gilbert from USA Hey guys, maybe someone here might know. Why is it that the deluxe version on items for Mariah's new album state "mastered for iTunes" but not with the standard versions. Is there a difference? (Monday 26 May 2014; 19:08)

Clean version or explicit version? (44,113) by Johnny from United States I'm having trouble deciding which version to pre-order. I just switched my iTunes account over to the UK store to listen to the explicit version's snippets. I really don't like the use of the "n" world in "Money" and I don't like the "f" word in "#Beautiful" and "YDKWTD". It's weird but the older I get the less I want to hear that kind of cursing in my music. I'm also still not sure to go deluxe or not. I already have "The Art of Letting Go" that I plan on adding to the album. I listened to the two remixes and I'm just not sure if it's worth it. What do you guys think? (Monday 26 May 2014; 18:03)

#9 iTunes UK (44,112) by David from UK Not a bad start on the first day. I couldn't wait for the CD to arrive tomorrow so had to download it soon as I woke up. As always Mariah has delivered, this album is deffo one of her best. (Monday 26 May 2014; 16:58)

#11 UK / Amazon UK (44,111) by Holly from UK I've just been checking up on the chart positions and MIAM is currently outside the Top 10 in the UK at #11, however it is only release day and I'm sure it will climb. Amazon UK now have a 7-11 day wait on the UK deluxe edition. This is great news as it shows it's selling. (Monday 26 May 2014; 16:09)

Promotion (44,110) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Besides the World Music Awards, is Mariah doing anything in the US this week to promote her album? (Monday 26 May 2014; 15:38)
