I Only Wanted (36,603) by Lainsky from Philippines This single really stands out from CB album for me. It should have been great if it was released instead of "Boy". (Thursday 25 October 2012; 13:09)

Massage (36,602) by Will from England Wow, they really thought that story through, didn't they? 8-hour massage, I mean c'mon gossipers, think it through a bit before printing it. (Thursday 25 October 2012; 10:24)

M&M (36,601) by Stacey from USA I agree. I hope someday we get to hear that version of Yours ft. JT. It's so frustrating it's under "lock & key". I love to see I Only Wanted getting some love. It's a great song. (Wednesday 24 October 2012; 19:29)

Meriweatherc86 / E=MC2 (36,600) by John from USA I agree 1000%, and I have always maintained your stance. E=MC2 was a fantastic album, better than the (IMO overrated) TEOM. I sometimes feel like E=MC2 was her last chance to have an epic era. She looked amazing (best she had since 1995), the general public was into her, the album had a strong start and first single... but then she fell off the face of the Earth and released "Bye Bye" as the second single. And promotion quickly became nonexistent. Sigh. If only "Migrate" had been released. I hope she has something good up her sleeve for this next album. Sorry to be negative, but it's hard to be an MC fan right now. (Wednesday 24 October 2012; 14:16)

CB Singles (36,599) by M from USA This is my least fav album, although I love "My Saving Grace", "I only wanted". I always liked "The one" way more than "Boy", but the song that never got the life that should have as a single was "Yours" with Justin Timberlake. If only Jive records would have released it like Mariah wanted at the time. (Wednesday 24 October 2012; 4:04)

Charmbracelet 2nd single choice (36,597) by Stacey from USA CB isn't my favorite album, probably in my bottom 3 of least favorites. However, the album does have some stand out songs and The One is one of them (pun intended, lol). That song would have been a better single choice. The song wasn't as soft as Boy, but provided a variety of Mariah's vocals, which is where I think MC is at her best. Plus, there were some great remixes attached to the song that would have helped. All in all, though, I really don't think it matters. That album was never meant to be anything spectacular chart-wise. It was damage control. After the Glitter debacle and breakdown, putting out an album was the best way to get MC on the talkshows telling her side of the story. The purpose of all that promotion from Mall of America to the Today Show, and her appearance on Oprah was to show the public that Mariah was healthy again, back to making good music. The music from that album was more for MC's therapy during her recovery then for the public at large. That said, it did sell over a million copies which was pretty good 10+ years ago. May not be a fav of mine, but I do enjoy The One, I Only Wanted, Irresistible (no rap version), and TTR. (Tuesday 23 October 2012; 23:19)

Stella (36,595) by RibbonB from USA Yes, mother and daughter are stunning with their stunners on. I just love Dem Babies and I'm sure there has got to be a song or two about these little cuties. Sade (Rae Rae's daughter) said on twitter than Roe is far sighted, so it's good her eyes are being corrected early on. (Tuesday 23 October 2012; 21:18)

Mariah and Monroe (36,594) by Stella from Greece I love the new pics of mother and daughter in NY. Roe is absolutely adorable with her pink glasses and cute ensemble. I wonder if Mariah wrote a song about dem babies to put on the album. That would be lovely. (Tuesday 23 October 2012; 18:23)

The One (36,593) by JBfly from USA I totally agree with some of you guys and gals on this song. When I found out that The One was going to be the next single, I immediately called my local radio stations and requested the song, but luck wasn't on my side. Instead we got Boy. Though I liked Boy, it was no near the quality that The One had. This song will remain one of my favorite from Mariah's catalog. I wish that she'll make another song similar to this one. Peace.

E=MC2 (36,592) by clueey23 from USA This was a great album. Great timing. Perfect first single. Touch My Body broke records and became MC's 18th #1. The first week sales were some of MC's best numbers ever. MC made a splash on SNL with TMB and Migrate with T-Pain. And then on Oprah with Bye Bye. But again, single choices messed up the rest of the era. Marriage or not. There was soo much more potential for this album. Singles should've been: 1. Touch My Body 2. Bye Bye on AC and Migrate to every other format 3. I Stay In Love 4. I'll Be Lovin' You Long Time/I'm That Chick 5. Love Story on Urban (Tuesday 23 October 2012; 16:04)

Charmbracelet (36,591) by clueey23 from USA I think "The One" would've stood out more at the time because "Boy" was already huge with Cam'Ron alone. Singles should've been: 1. Through the Rain on Top 40/Pop/AC/Dance and the remix with Kelly Price and Joe on R&B and Urban 2. The One/ The One (remix) 3. Boy 4. I Know What You Want 5. Bringing on The Heartbreak 6. Miss You (Tuesday 23 October 2012; 13:19)

Enwar/Charmbracelet (36,590) by Licia from USA I was so ticked off when they switched the single choice from The One to Boy. I like Boy, but The One is high on my list of favorites from CB. I can't say rather one would have done better than the other. The One was a better choice for me. (Tuesday 23 October 2012; 12:13)

Charmbracelet second single (36,589) by enwar00 from usa What would've been the better second single, The One or Boy? (Tuesday 23 October 2012; 9:11)

Mariah (36,588) by Jay lynch from Australia Does anyone know if Mariah checks the messages the lambs leave here on the MCArchives message board? (Tuesday 23 October 2012; 3:02)

Walter A (36,587) by Jay lynch from Australia Hello lambs. Does anyone know if Mariah is still working with Walter A on the new up coming album coming out in early 2013? (Tuesday 23 October 2012; 2:59)

Nick and Mariah's candy room (36,586) by Stacey from USA Oh my, be careful MC. I've lost 60 lbs in just over a year and even I have to watch the candy or work out more to even out what I've eaten. So hard. Twix and 3 Musketeers are so hard to resist, lol. Stephen, totally true. I wish more MC fans had that "maturity". Thank you. (Tuesday 23 October 2012; 0:13)

Fashion Police (36,585) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Did anyone see Fashion Police on tv this week? It was a 1992 special, and they counted down the top 5 looks of 1992, and Mariah Carey was the number 1 must see look of 1992. They crowned her best dressed of the week for her 1992 AMAs outfit. They normally shade Mariah hard on Fashion Police, but they cheered her throughout. I can only assume it was a high five being thrown at her because of the whole Minaj incident. They still shaded her a little, but they do that with everyone on Fashion Police. Mariah looked banging btw. It was a sexy little number too. Not one of her high necked Tommy M requests. (Monday 22 October 2012; 22:41)

Stacey (36,584) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom This is true. It's called maturity. No two people have the same opinion on everything at any one time. (Monday 22 October 2012; 22:09)

Stephen (36,583) by Stacey from USA Almost? I'll take it, lol. I'm glad we can chat, disagree, and still leave as friends. (Monday 22 October 2012; 21:12)

Fly Like A Bird Or maybe do a b-side album or Remixes II. (Monday 22 October 2012; 19:44)

MOAIA/new album (36,581) by Jenny from USA I thought Memoirs was a solid album, it might've not had the smash singles everyone wanted, but it was good music which lacks today in radio. I don't know why everyone is so up in arms about a picture of Mariah and the Dream. He is the VP of A&R at Def Jam, so he's obviously overseeing what Mariah has come up with at least. As far as the new album is concerned, I think Mariah knows that this album will make or break her. The stage is set for another comeback. I hope the first single is a big ballad. If the ballad becomes a smash, then we are in for another EOM era . The new single probably won't come out till around January to fall in place with AI, so for now I'm just patiently waiting; I have faith in our girl. (Monday 22 October 2012; 19:14)

I loved MOAIA (36,580) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I am often surprised to hear people say they think the songs on the album all sound the same. For me, it was my favorite release since Butterfly, and that's saying a lot since there's something to love IMO about all her albums. I am still disappointed it wasn't given more promotion and backing from the label. No problem with me to colab with The Dream again. (Monday 22 October 2012; 17:04)

G.H. part II (36,579) by Badr from USA I think it would be nice to combine hits with fan favorites: 1 Loverboy 2 Never Too Far 3 Through The Rain 4 Bringin' On The Heartbreak 5 I Know What You Want 6 It's Like That 7 We Belong Together 8 Shake It Off 9 Don't Forget About Us 10 Fly Like A Bird 11 Touch My Body 12 Bye Bye 13 Migrate 14 Side Effects 15 I Stay In Love (Remix) 16 Obsessed 17 I Want To Know What Love Is 18 H.A.T.E.U. 19 Angels Cry (Remix Feat. Ne Yo) (Monday 22 October 2012; 2:10)

Instead of Greatest Hits (36,578) by Will from England Why not create our own version of the "The Very Best Of" list, for the 2000s. Mine would be: 1) I Only Wanted 2) Never Too Far 3) Boy (I Need You) 4) Say Somethin' 5) Angels Cry 6) Sunflowers for Alfred Roy 7) Circles 8) Side Effects 9) Standing O 10) Triumphant (Vintage Throwback Mix) 11) Lead The Way 12) H.A.T.E.U 13) There Goes My Heart 14) I'm That Chick 15) Migrate 16) Reflections 17) I Wish You Well I tried to use songs that non-fans would not know, rather than go with the usual suspects.
