Migrate (93,837) by CMC from NY,NY Justice for Migrate. Now is the time. It's such a bizarre crazy time in the world right now, Mariah going number 1 with a (non Christmas) 12 year old song could totally happen. With no new music happening and E=MC2 already at #1 for over 48 hours now, she should do an official Migrate release. I'm sure there's conflicting record label issues but one can fantasize.

Re: On a positive note (93,831) (93,836) by Licia from USA Last Kiss. Sorry I forgot to put which song. Lol I'm mad I missed the shade. It's too much going on with the fighting on this messageboard so I haven't been reading alot of the messages. (Wednesday 29 April 2020; 03:47)

Quick opinion poll (93,835) by T from USA Which post "WBT" ballad is better? "I Stay in Love" or "You're Mine"? And then does it change if you add in "Angels Cry"? (Wednesday 29 April 2020; 02:29)

Mariah vs ? on IG (93,834) by Special K from USA Hey there have been some great musical battles on IG. We had Babyface vs Teddy Riley, Jermaine Dupri vs Dallas Austin, and John P Kee vs Hezekiah Walker. If Mariah were to battle an artist on IG who would you guys pick? I say Janet Jackson or Toni Braxton. (Wednesday 29 April 2020; 02:12)

Last Kiss (93,833) by Special K from USA Wow no Mimi did not sing Last Kiss on IG. She sounded great. Ms. Mariah please continue to be festive about E=MC2 and sing Thanks For Nothing on IG. (Wednesday 29 April 2020; 02:08)

Re: iTunes (93,812) (93,832) by Special K from USA I think it's a mixture of Mariah fans and casual fans who didn't buy the album during its original release. Millions of people right now have a lot of time on their hands and are bored spending time on iTunes. Those Mariah fans and casual fans probably noticed the album was discounted, listened to a few songs and decided to buy the album. Nobody is releasing new albums now. I can see how E=MC2 can hit number 1. (Wednesday 29 April 2020; 02:03)

Re: On a positive note (93,829) (93,831) by RibbonB from USA What did she sing? And I can't believe you missed all that shade from a few posts past. I usually only shade him here for you. (Wednesday 29 April 2020; 01:14)

Surprise (93,830) by RibbonB from USA So Mimi got a little E=MC2 surprise. That's cool. And dem kids will be nine, how fun. Hopefully things will be more normal by the time they hit their teens. I'm so over this pandemic. Hoping we all stay alive and well. (Wednesday 29 April 2020; 01:01)

On a positive note (93,829) by Licia from USA She sang my 2nd favorite song from E=MC2 on IG and she sounded good. I'm a happy lamb. That's all and carry on. See Bill I do like songs. Am I up to like 4 or 5? Lol. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 23:59)

Re: For all you non believers Amazon music (93,821) (93,828) by T from USA What lies? You invented those in your head. You skipped over dozens of articles stating E=MC2 is #1 and focused solely on Showbiz. We all see right through you dude. Meanwhile it's #1 in many Asian countries too now. Go MC.

Article: Mariah 12 year old album shoots to number 1 on iTunes (93,827) by Steven Berning from USA Wait, does Andrew work for Showbiz 411? Haha. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 22:27)

E=MC2 (93,826) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Funny thing is Mariah celebrated the anniversary of TEOM yet she paid E=MC2 anniversary dust. Obviously something is happening, and it is good to see Mariah shining, and we should appreciate this moment for what it is and leave the negativity, conspiracies out of the equation. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 22:12)

Re: For all you non believers Amazon music (93,818) (93,825) by Aliya from Canada I'm pretty sure the people in charge of iTunes, which was developed by Apple, are some of the smartest people in the world. Therefore, I highly doubt that this is a scam, and that some lamb got into the system and made E=MC2 number 1. Remember, she is the best selling female solo artist of all time. This is not so hard to believe, especially since the album is on sale. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 21:57)

Re: E=MC2 (93,804) (93,824) by MusicfanJ from Germany Congratulation MC. That album definitily deserves more recognition. Like you've said it's perfect for the spring and summer. It's indeed an album very uplifting and fun. I hope it stays a while at number one. It has a lot of songs that are very enjoyable for "non-Mariah" listeners. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 21:35)

Article: Mariah 12 year old album shoots to number 1 on iTunes (93,823) by Travis from USA Anything Showbiz 411 has to say goes in one ear and out the other. This is supposedly a scam, so, people aren't allowed to reminisce and stream a past album that's enjoyable which happens to lead to chart success. Sometimes, I don't understand the way people think before they express it into nonsense. Mariah is one of the best selling artists of all time and derserves anything and everything that comes her way. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 21:31)

E=MC2 resurgence (93,822) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines If this teaches us anything, it's that Mariah, despite having a core fanbase that has dwindled steadily throughout the years, somehow has managed to maintain a loyal fanbase that's more media-savvy in their approach of showing their support compared to fanbases of other legacy acts that dominated the 90's, such as Celine, Janet, Madonna and Toni. A search through YouTube would reveal more fan or critic content on Mariah's material than any of her 90's peers. Her US fans may not support her albums as much as the former 3 in terms of making a splash in first week sales (and a #1 debut is still a legit bragging right), but I'd much prefer Mariah's success to be of the viral type. She's the only star of her magnitude from that decade that I know of whose antics are, for better or worse, the most meme-able. More importantly, she's the only one whose social media fan movements actually translate into actual sales and chart success, and for her older, mostly forgotten albums for that matter - an even bigger achievement in a world where streaming is king. Digital album sales, especially at this weird time where there are fewer new releases to compete with, may ultimately be insignificant in the grander scheme of things (to their credit, this is probably the only sensible one of the all the mind-numbing arguments pressed Madonna stans are making on comment sections on this news), but truthfully, any of those other artists I have mentioned would be lucky to have any of their past (and less popular) releases to just randomly find their way back to the top 10 of even just the iTunes albums chart off of any reason. Most other legends only experience these types of sales boosts after a hugely popular tribute event or, well, after they die. For some, it may only cause a spike in sales of individual songs and not so much for full albums. But Mariah's enjoying this now (for 2 of her most overlooked releases) and regularly every Mariah season (aka Christmas). That's more than enough cause for celebration. It's also a testament to the consistency of Mariah's output. Yes, she does have subpar releases, but the disparity in quality between her best and her worst isn't as glaringly obvious as that of other artists. I couldn't imagine this resurgence ever happening to any of Madonna's post-Music albums save for Confessions, any of Celine's post-2002 albums, any of Toni's efforts after The Heat, or any of Janet's pre-Control or 2006-2008 output. Migrate or Cruise Control still should have been singles (probably waiting for a TikTok celeb to discover them), but E=MC2 is #1, so let's enjoy that while it lasts. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 21:03)

Re: For all you non believers Amazon music (93,818) (93,821) by Andrew from the United Kingdom For the purposes of this board, I care about two things: Mariah and truth. Conversely, I despise two things: idiots and lies. Sorry 'bout dat. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 20:29)

Re: iTunes (93,814) (93,820) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I was, but ultimately opted to question why they passionately shade Mariah's discount-boosted sales while curiously don't do the same for the newer, more current artists today who discount their albums way more often and even at lower prices than Mariah's current promo. Never got any response from them, although they were too quick to reply to other lambs who defended Mariah by insulting them. So transparent. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 20:22)

Re: iTunes (93,810) (93,819) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I check the iTunes top 100 rnb songs charts for many countries regularly to see if Mariah is charted. She is on the Brazilian charts all the time, but for the US, UK, Australia etc. she is [rarely] charted. Only once in a while you can find Mariah on the rnb charts. On the same charts you'll always find at least three Whitney Houston songs. This makes me a bit worried for Mariah's longevity. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 19:33)

Re: For all you non believers Amazon music (93,817) (93,818) by T from USA Do you question every artists #1 position or only Mariah's? (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 19:17)

Re: For all you non believers Amazon music (93,815) (93,817) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I do not believe anybody here said there was a conspiracy. I asked if anyone could rebut the claims made by Showbiz411 as to the veracity of the unlikely rise of an album previously not selling anything to number one on iTunes. That people are now buying it on Amazon Music does not seem, on the face of it, to do that. "Post hoc ergo propter hoc" comes to mind. To be clear, let me write it in simpler Engish for you as I believe historically you have struggled: I am pleased that Mariah is at Number 1 on iTunes; I would like the claims of wrongdoing shown to be wrong. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 18:46)

Re: iTunes (93,812) (93,816) by Bill from the UK I would hope Charmbracelet is next to be shown some love. It came and went with a bit of a whimper, but there are some brilliant songs buried on that set. Lyrically, I rate it second to Butterfly. Vocally, I do appreciate the approach she took to the record, but I do have to be in the right mood for it. But tracks like Through the Rain, The One, My Saving Grace, Subtle Invitation, and I Only Wanted really shine. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 17:57)

For all you non believers Amazon music (93,815) by T from USA E=MC2 is up to #159 on the album sales chart (from #14,630) for a sales increase of 9,101%. And it's currently #3 on their pop dance album chart and #2 on their Soul chart. Is this a conspiracy too? (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 16:59)

Re: iTunes (93,812) (93,814) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Do let the Madonna stans know that if you idolise a total bitch, the chances are that you either are one or are very much on your way to becoming one. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 16:12)

Re: iTunes (93,810) (93,813) by Nicole from US At this point I don't want to know why and all that. Just very happy this happened. $4.99 for a lot of songs must have had a lot of people curious about the album in general. Twitter got everything amped up. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 15:44)
