Mariah Carey is not worried about "Old Town Road" (90,418) by B from USA When asked if she's worried about it breaking her record she responded in typical Mariah fashion with a simple "dahling" and when asked if she would jump on an Old Town Road remix she said, "Nobody wants to hear that remix." I don't think that record was that important to her because she shares it with Boys [sic] II Men and it was tied by Dishitpato [sic]. (Thursday 25 July 2019; 17:49)

Re: Fly abandonedly into the rainbow (90,416) (90,417) by Tijl from Belgium Hey Bill, TAAO remake with Westlife was a clever action but limited to the UK. On the continent the original album version was released and had some moderate success in a few countries but for the remains of the singles everything fell flat. And the European tour didn't receive great reviews either. I believe she was very disappointed with the lack of support by Sony and she started to work herself into the ground trying to make the best of it, leading up to the Glitter fiasco.

Re: Fly abandonedly into the rainbow (90,414) (90,416) by Bill from the UK I don't completely agree. Certainly the UK branch did a great move in shoving Westlife onto Against All Odds which scored Mariah a number one record here and boosted sales of Rainbow during its ending run on the chart. The question I would ask is, was Mariah that heavily invested in promoting it, or did she simply want to sever ties and move on with the film and her new label? As people have said, the album is fine but in reality none of the tracks except Heartbreaker held a candle to her prior material, which was all AAA rated. (Thursday 25 July 2019; 13:54)

Re: Old Town Road 16 weeks (90,410) (90,415) by Licia from USA Although I like Old Town Road, I never thought this particular song would break her record, but it did and there's not much we can do about it. It was going to happen eventually. Nonetheless no one can take away all that she's accomplished. I agree Edward about being glad it's been broken. I'd like her to make great music without feeling the pressure to relive former glory. (Thursday 25 July 2019; 12:25)

Re: Fly abandonedly into the rainbow (90,406) (90,414) by Tijl from Belgium The promotion of Rainbow was a mess because of the strained relationship with Sony. Heartbreaker got a strong launch with a very expensive video but after that it went downhill. I saw the first concert of the European leg of the Rainbow tour in Antwerp and in all honesty it was a mess. I really believe she loved the album but the difficult situation with the powers that be had the momentum fading out quickly. After TGIFY none of the other singles received any decent promotion.

Re: Always Be My Maybe (90,411) (90,413) by Tijl from Belgium I started it but found it rather cliché so I haven't finished it. (Thursday 25 July 2019; 10:57)

Re: Obsessed re-enters iTunes chart (90,404) (90,412) by Bill from the UK It was relevant when Glitter was #1. (Thursday 25 July 2019; 06:04)

Always Be My Maybe (90,411) by Tevin from USA Has anyone seen Always be my Maybe yet? (Thursday 25 July 2019; 02:53)

Re: Old Town Road 16 weeks (90,409) (90,410) by Edward from USA To be honest, I want this record to be broken, no more pressure. Records are meant to be broken. It's sad that, with the way things are with streaming and all, a shitty song is about to break it. I guess I made my peace with knowing there's not Mariah second coming, and I'm ok with that. As long as she keeps on making some good music, I'm ok with it. Even though I don't want a shitty song to break the record, I'm happy it's about to be broken. I want "Migrate" to be released as a single soon too, so we won't keep regurgitating the fact it wasn't one on this board ever again. It's time we focus on the "You Don't Know What To Do" should've been a single mantra from now on. (Thursday 25 July 2019; 02:15)

Old Town Road 16 weeks (90,409) by S from England This song has now spent it's 16th week at number 1. It's a threat and I hate to say this - but I think it will spend a 17th too. (Thursday 25 July 2019; 01:46)

Re: Fly abandonedly into the rainbow (90,406) (90,408) by B from USA Agreed. It pales in comparison to Daydream and Butterfly. Heartbreaker, Mariah's Theme, and After Tonight are also my favorite songs from the album. After watching Mariah perform it live I grown found of the original TGIFY (even though I still believe the Make It Last remix is the best version of the song and the reason it became a #1). I also love Petals. It's a decent album, Mariah's never made a bad album. (Thursday 25 July 2019; 00:58)

Re: Fly abandonedly into the rainbow (90,406) (90,407) by Stacey from USA That's pretty much what I said, yet you called my thoughts nonsense. What gives, lol. But I digress. Regardless Rainbow has its place in Mariah's evolution as an artist and I'm grateful she released it. While it's not one of my favorite albums, there are songs from that album I love (Heartbreaker, CTTA, After Tonight, Crybaby (an underrated gem), Petals). I might put these songs while I do my dishes. I hate dishes. Life of a mom with kids, I suppose. Carey on. (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 22:46)

Re: Fly abandonedly into the rainbow (90,401) (90,406) by Andrew from London UK I am not denying that it is folklore that Mariah moved to get the job done without interruption. What I am denying is that it is sub par work because she chose to get the job done without interruption. She was proud of Rainbow. She promoted the crap out of it. But whilst it is a good album, it is not good in comparison to its predecessors. (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 21:17)

Temporary Heart (90,405) by Tevin from USA Have any of you listend to the song Temporary Heart by the group PrettyMuch? They used Mariah's ABMB sample for the music. Let me know what you all think. (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 20:24)

Re: Obsessed re-enters iTunes chart (90,399) (90,404) by jaker20 from US That's all good but iTunes is literally irrelevant. No.900 is probably less than 100 downloads or something. iTunes will be discontinued soon. (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 19:04)

Re: Fly abandonedly into the rainbow (90,396) (90,403) by B from USA Are you ok? (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 18:19)

Re: Obsessed re-enters iTunes chart (90,395) (90,402) by We are Lambily from USA Mr grinch, nobody mentioned you. I will give you a call when Mariah dies so you can smile for once. Everything I said is true, who has a better catalogue than Mariah? Michael is a close second. Her songs do climb worldwide whenever someone covers her songs in those music competitions. (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 17:34)

Re: Fly abandonedly into the rainbow (90,396) (90,401) by Tijl from Belgium Mariah's own words on the production of Rainbow: "I love New York. But if I'm there, I want to go out, friends come to the studio, the phone rings constantly. But in Capri, I am in a remote place, and there is no one I can run into. I felt that in Capri I would be able to effectively finish the album on a shorter schedule. And I did. I made it in three months, I was like 'Get me off this label.' I couldn't take it. The situation there [Sony] was becoming increasingly difficult." (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 11:39)

Re: Fly abandonedly into the rainbow (90,396) (90,400) by Stacey from USA Yep. I think she wanted out of Sony so bad that when the Glitter project got delayed, and she had a bunch of songs recorded for it, she saw an opportunity to get another album out quicker than later, and end her run at Sony. But go ahead and think my opinions are nonsense. I'll still sleep at night, lol. (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 09:58)

Re: Obsessed re-enters iTunes chart (90,392) (90,399) by Ronnie from California Obsessed is resurrecting, does this mean any press coverage is gonna bring up Eminem? Perhaps this 5 men thing was meant as a precursor? Her team is actually moving again. (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 06:27)

Re: Obsessed re-enters iTunes chart (90,394) (90,398) by Shezz from Pk Yeah it was used in a Tik Tok video that went viral. I don’t know the back story of the girl in the video but she looked like she was crying throughout the video. Does anybody know? (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 05:38)

Re: Moments With Mimi (90,391) (90,397) by B from USA She's cooking in the next episode so maybe one of the episodes is a songwriting session. (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 02:50)

Re: Fly abandonedly into the rainbow (90,387) (90,396) by Andrew from London UK This is also nonsense. She didn't make shit music to get out of the deal. She didn't sabotage herself. Why tour it and promote it? "I rushed it just to end a contract but please think it's good"? (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 02:28)

Re: Obsessed re-enters iTunes chart (90,394) (90,395) by Andrew from London UK Everything you just said is nonsense. (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 02:25)

Re: Obsessed re-enters iTunes chart (90,392) (90,394) by We are Lambily from USA It’s due to a dance challenge that someone started on Tik tok, a music app. But like I have always said, Mariah has the best catalogue in the business, anytime she sings or anyone else covers her songs, her songs climb immediately worldwide. That’s a testimony to how great her songs really is. In my humble opinion the queen of music. (Tuesday 23 July 2019; 22:32)
