Next album: Gospel Jazz Soul (91,417) by T from USA I hope she takes a real live musical route with her next album. Songs in the vein of The Wind, Vanishing, My Saving Grace and Fly Like A Bird. I think she should produce the whole album by herself and show everyone how far her talents go. Keep it to eleven songs to mirror her debut and simply call the album "Mariah". The Grammys and the industry as a whole would die. I loved "Caution" but I don't want anything current of the moment from her next. Forget charts or sales. It's probably her last album on her contract anyway. I want something so timeless. Something so organic. Something so different than her other albums but still so true to who she is as an artist.

Grammy snub? (91,416) by Brad from USA Hi all. I hope everyone is well and being good to others. As for the Grammy issue, I think we have to keep in mind that Mariah has stated in recent interviews that she doesn't care about them. Yes, in 1996 after the Daydream snub, given her nominations, I am sure she cared and felt hurt and I always felt that night at the Grammy's was a turning point in her career and life. And it pretty much was. She left Tommy shortly after and things changed from there. Caution is a wondrous album. We should hold onto it. I am not sure how many more like it she will or can make. It seems the Grammy's do not reward people who stay in their lane and do it well for decades. Rather, they seem to want people that push boundaries and expand music's composite. I get and respect that. It seems if Mariah wants Grammy prowess she will need to throw all norms to the wind and come from a place with her music that she never has in order to show an artist that is far reaching in scope, ability, vision, experiment, risk and persuasion. I am not sure Mariah is hungry in that way any longer or can afford to be given the people who are reliant upon her. I hope she goes for it but we will see and must enjoy what she produces nonetheless. God bless her and us all. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 21:10)

Re: Re: Grammy Award nominations (91,397) (91,406) (91,415) by jaker20 from US Lol. This nominations list is garbage. Hilarious. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 20:27)

Grammys, who cares? (91,414) by Stacey from USA Are we really surprised she was shut out? Daydream was denied, having the top single of the year (OSD). Fantasy debuts at #1. Then comes along TOEM ten years later, and she has the top single again (WBT), #1 selling album of 2005, and is denied again. Oh sure she won three awards in the R&B categories, but ones that weren't even televised. This after a much publicized breakdown, subpar sales of Charmbracelet, many counted MC out. She came back with a bang. And now she has the chance to get another #1 hit 25 years after its release. MC is pure talent. But she doesn't play the game to get the nods, doesn't play politics to get the nominations. Who cares about the Grammys? Her numbers and accomplishments (see Billboard's article) don't lie. Now let's get AIWFCIY to #1. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 20:21)

Article: Mariah Carey shows off her whistle register (91,413) by Betty from Canada I didn't realize until a lamb friend told me to listen really carefully near the end of of her song Sugar Plum Fairy because she sings in her whistle register "Merry Christmas" and it's simply amazing. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 19:46)

Re: Snubbed again (91,407) (91,412) by The Real Deal from USA Do you really think the Grammy's would consider her after she went on a major entertainment news show and said that the Grammy's were boring? No matter how good of an album Caution is, she pissed off alot of Recording Academy voters with her interview where she said the Grammy's are boring and that nobody watches them anymore, and then proceeded to say that the Grammy's punished her for having the #1 song of the year. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 19:44)

AIWFCIY, 19th #1 (91,411) by Robby from Chicago USA I did my fair share of helping this song to finally reach #1 spot in BB100 this year. Bought 50 CDs (re-released album) for myself and for Christmas gifts to family and friends, stream (Spotify) the song at least for an hour on my way to work and another hour on my way home, watch the video every Saturday and Sunday, posted her SJTD concert in my social media accounts. So is there something else that I'm missing here? Oh well, if it doesn't get to #1 then there is nothing else I can do. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 19:05)

Grammy 2020 (91,410) by Robby from Chicago USA What do we do expect? What could we possibly expect? I get it that it is nice to be recognized, much more winning it, as it is more of a validation of the quality of your work. But we all are aware how Grammy people have treated Mariah in the past and I don't think that will change at all, not in this lifetime. We should just accept it, and I believe Mariah did, and settle on the 5 wins that she had. Of course we all wanted her to win again but until then, we all just can hope and believe that somewhere in a parallel universe, she is like Beyonce or Adele. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 18:49)

Re: Pure sales (91,403) (91,409) by TJ from Norway That's what I'm thinking too. She was selling like crazy in that period. Didn't she? (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 18:06)

How the mighty have fallen (91,408) by Terna from Nigeria Going through the Grammys nominations list, I just felt like I was going through nominations for a much lesser award like Teen Choice Awards. Lol. It doesn't feel serious at all. Where's the quality? The serious artists and the obscure ones who are really good but don't get the platform. And as usual our chanteuse was paid dust, not like she was checking for them anyways. She'll "prolly" go bowling. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 16:40)

Snubbed again (91,407) by Nicole from US Caution was hailed by critics as return to form. It was well-received by critics, one of her best. And yet, these Grammy people did not give a single nomination. They now decided on who's in and current. What a joke. Please get your 19th number one Mariah. Your legacy will surely live on. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 15:25)

Re: Grammy Award nominations (91,397) (91,406) by SM from Citizen of the World I am shocked at the list of nominations, I don't even know more than half of them. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 15:08)

Grammy nominations (91,405) by Chicago Lamb from USA Very sad Mariah wasn't recognized this year. Caution is a great album, With You is a beautifully crafted song. I'm a little disappointed but the universe can make up for it with AIWFC #1. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 14:57)

Re: Grammy Award nominations (91,397) (91,404) by Salmon skin roll from Unagi I'll bet all the money in my pocket against all the money in your pocket that the only Grammy nomination she gets is when she has grandchildren and Dem Grandkids nominate her for Grammy of the Year. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 03:44)

Re: Pure sales (91,395) (91,403) by Salmon skin roll from Unagi That makes sense. So it's done quarterly. Cool. So according to this Mariah only got to 1 million per quarter by the end of 1993. That makes no sense. Am I missing something again? (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 03:41)

Pure sales (91,402) by Nikki from usa Always interesting, but at the end of the day we're not talking sales, we're talking certifications which are paid for by record companies. Literally. The whole reason systems like Soundscan were invented were due to number gouging for the sake of PR. Many earlier artists numbers were over certified. Sony didn't bother with certification for MC outside the US and Japan. Yet, she was announced as a billion dollar seller in all of Asia. Mariah's main influence is in the US which is also where the majority of her promo went. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 02:35)

Re: AIWFIY Hot 100 Chart entry last year (91,396) (91,401) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada If anything deserves to be her 19th #1 it's this. It's a classic. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 02:19)

Re: AIWFIY Hot 100 Chart entry last year (91,396) (91,400) by jaker20 from US It is moving too fast. This is the first time it's entered top 40 before Thanksgiving. Prepare your streaming devices on December. Maybe we should schedule a streaming party? Does anyone know the peak Christmas tracking week this year? (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 00:36)

Re: AIWFIY Hot 100 Chart entry last year (91,396) (91,399) by Keneth Garcia Bayani from Philippines Lower but 2 weeks earlier than last year based on that article. (Tuesday 19 November 2019; 22:56)

2020 hope (91,398) by Will from Australia If it happens and MC gets her 19th No.1 with AIWFCIY this year, I hope they are planning to capitalize on the news it will generate by promoting a new single from a upcoming 2020 album or drop her book in January or something please. Just don't let the moment pass with the decorations coming down you know. (Tuesday 19 November 2019; 22:46)

Grammy Award nominations (91,397) by SM from Citizen of the World Less than 24 hours away, let's all keep our fingers crossed for "Caution". I really want to see Album of the Year. (Tuesday 19 November 2019; 20:23)

Re: AIWFIY Hot 100 Chart entry last year (91,390) (91,396) by Stacey from USA I read an article today AIWFCIY has entered the Hot 100 chart at #39. (Tuesday 19 November 2019; 17:56)

Re: Pure sales (91,392) (91,395) by Norman from USA It goes by quarters in a year. The sales fluctuate over time as some sell more and some sell less. (Tuesday 19 November 2019; 10:32)

Re: Pure sales (91,387) (91,394) by Norman from USA Well, apparently I need to visit my optometrist. Smdh. Babs was right in front of me the whole time. And I could've sworn I read it was only US sales that it tracked, but it's definitely worldwide sales. That's a huge difference and the key factor. I'd like to see a US only chart. It's still impressive Mariah stayed in the top 5 and 10 for the 2000s. (Tuesday 19 November 2019; 06:58)

Re: Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (Live at St. John The Divine) (91,389) (91,393) by enwar00 from usa Hey Billy. Yes I noticed that too. So agile. Effortless. I assume that's why some argue this was her vocal peak or whatever. I love how playful she was with the kids and audience. She definitely seems herself here and to be having a good time. So glad we have these performances now, I like how natural they are especually in comparison to some of the DVDs. (Tuesday 19 November 2019; 06:38)
