About Horacio from United States: Fan since 1999 :)

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,726) by Horacio from United States I think Mariah excels when she looks classy. This is evident in the following single covers: Dreamlover, Without You, Fantasy, Always Be My Baby, Honey, My All/Breakdown, We Belong Together, Fly Like A Bird (Sunday 14 May 2023; 15:54) this is a reply to message 102,725

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,725) by TJ from Norway Dreamlover has always been on top of the list. Joy To The World is probably the second one, and one of those singles cover that people don't remember. (Sunday 14 May 2023; 08:16)

Biggest non #1 hit after 33 years (102,385) by Horacio from United States I forgot to include Endless Love - that has been getting decent replays on Spotify. I didn't include Can't Let Go because its Spotify numbers have been bleak, even thought it's one her most beautiful songs. (Friday 24 March 2023; 01:12) this is a reply to message 102,383

Biggest non #1 hit after 33 years (102,383) by Edward from USA These songs were #2, but they are better than many of her number ones. 1. Endless Love 2. Can't Let Go 3. Without You 4. Shake It Off It's good we can create our own version of #1's. Some of the best tracks would be excluded from Greatest Hits CDs forcing people to buy the whole album from which the track came from. Then there was the beautify of buying the tracks individually, so that trick didn't make sense anymore. I haven't ever played Infinity as part of her #1's. (Thursday 23 March 2023; 16:48)

Biggest non #1 hit after 33 years (102,376) by Horacio from United States Which MC single that did not reach #1 on Billboard Hot 100 has had the best longevity since its release? I think Spotify numbers in the last few years help determine modern reception and enjoyment in the general public. Contenders: Without You Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Oh Holy Night When You Believe I Know What You Want It's Like That Shake It Off Obsessed #Beautiful (Thursday 23 March 2023; 00:25)

Big Energy remix - Spotify chart (100,048) by Horacio from United States While I’m happy the song is doing well on iTunes, the some seems DOA on streaming it didn’t even debut on the top 200 over at Spotify yesterday. (Tuesday 29 March 2022; 17:21)

Re: MTV Unplugged EP - 30th anniversary (99,979) (100,031) by Horacio from United States I'll ask again since no one answered. Is MTV Unplugged the best selling live album by a female artist? (Monday 28 March 2022; 17:58)

MTV Unplugged EP - 30th anniversary (99,979) by Horacio from United States Certified at 4x RIAA and with 7 million copies worldwide, is this the best selling female live album of all time? I know there are other high-profile live albums that have sold better, ie Garth Brooks Double Live with 14 million copies, but I can't find a definite list anywhere, but from what I can conclude looking at other high-selling female artists, Mariah Carey should have the record for Best Selling Live Album of All Time by a Female Artist with MTV Unplugged. Icon. Anyone have data to support this feat? (Friday 25 March 2022; 22:35)

Mariah Carey 1990 debut in Spotify (99,504) by Horacio from United States Does anyone have access to the streaming numbers for each individual song from the debut album? I wanna see how close we are to getting that 10x Platinum (Diamond) RIAA certification. If Mariah Carey (1990) and Merry Christmas both become Diamond, Mariah would be the only female artist with 4 Diamond RIAA-certified albums. (Saturday 22 January 2022; 13:34)

Re: Recounting the first bought album experience (97,684) (97,691) by Horacio from United States The first album I heard was Butterfly because it was part of my father’s massive CD collection; I was 13 years old. It was mid-1999. Second time I had heard of Mariah (I was an immigrant from a non-English speaking country). My first CD that I purchased from MC was #1s. I was astonished that this woman had so many no. 1 hits. I was hooked. I purchased Rainbow in November 1999, and from then on worked my way backwards Daydream > Music Box > MTV > Emotions > Mariah Carey. I can’t recall when exactly I purchased Merry Christmas, but I know for sure I already owned it by December 2000. (Friday 26 March 2021; 18:11)

Merry Christmas top 5 on Billboard 200 (97,078) by Horacio from United States In case no one had noticed, "Merry Christmas" was #5 on this week's Billboard 200. It spends its 99th week on the chart. Go Mariah. (Friday 1 January 2021; 23:19)

Merry Christmas and AIWFC RIAA certifications (96,955) by Horacio from United States Both Merry Christmas and "All I Want For Christmas" have been certified 8x Platinum in the US by the RIAA. In doing so, MC's first Christmas albums surpasses The Emancipation of Mimi to become Mariah's 4th highest certified album in the US. Merry Christmas' previous RIAA certification was 6x platinum. Current top 5 standings: Daydream - 10x Platinum Music Box - 10x Platinum Mariah Carey - 9x Platinum Merry Christmas - 8x Platinum The Emancipation of Mimi - 6x Platinum (Wednesday 16 December 2020; 15:01)

Oh Santa! fun Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson (96,665) by Horacio from United States Billboard just confirmed that the Apple+ Christmas special will have a soundtrack that "is stuffed full of brand new interpretations", according to a statement, and will drop on the same day as an exclusive to Apple Music, then December 11 on other platforms. Grande and Hudson will join forces with Carey on the lead single and music video for "Oh Santa!", which will drop December 4 across all streaming platforms. (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 20:33)

The Rarities, Part 2 (96,155) by Horacio from United States If Mariah were to release a sequel to The Rarities, I would hope she releases the following (almost confirmed in existence) unreleased songs: Hypnotized (from the demo tape) Do You Ever Wonder (from the demo tape) Into The Light Breaking The Chains (from Emotions era) Anything Can Happen (rumored from Glitter era) The Wedding Song (from Charmbracelet era) Reach for the Sky (from Charmbracelet era) Alive (from Charmbracelet era) Yours with Justin Timberlake Fly Like a Bird (Kanye West remix) More Than Just Friends (remix) with Alicia Keys Skydiving (final version) Panic in the City (from Me... I Am Mariah era) (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 09:55)

Re: Billboard week of 12.28 (91,752) (91,759) by Horacio from United States Andrew, it’s not about agreeing or not. Billboard stated that if the song is #1 for 3 weeks, that third week counts as the first #1 of 2020. So again, for Billboard, if the song stays at #1 for 3 weeks, it will have been a #1 for both 2019 and 2020. (Wednesday 18 December 2019; 19:37)

Re: Billboard week of 12.28 (91,732) (91,734) by Horacio from United States According to Billboard, if she stays at #1 for 3 weeks (the last week being the charts dated January 4, 2020), then she will have the record of having a #1 every decade for 4 consecutive decades. (Wednesday 18 December 2019; 03:02)

Re: The next 13 days including December 26 (91,634) (91,640) by Horacio from United States You say it seems it’s going to go #2 - what exactly are you basing this information on? Opinion, or do you have the link? (Saturday 14 December 2019; 23:07)

Heartbreaker - 20th anniversary (90,550) by Horacio from United States For things like Instagram Stories and social media, when are we celebrating the 20th anniversary of Heartbreaker? August 16 (radio impact) or September 21 (single release)? (Tuesday 6 August 2019; 02:14)
