About Edward from USA:

Tanaka (104,699) by Edward from USA There were also rumors that Mariah had said she wanted to be skinny like kids in Somalia. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 12:43) this is a reply to message 104,692

Tanaka (104,692) by Chris from United States So, weren't there some whispers about Tanaka having charges against him for some sort of scam he was trying to pull off, using Mariah's name? Whatever happened to all of that? Was that untrue? Did I miss something? Maybe this has something to do with that mess. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 05:10)

Tanaka (104,698) by Edward from USA Conturella, is that you? During your reign of terror Mariah made a full of herself. No, thank you. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 12:25) this is a reply to message 104,694

Tanaka (104,694) by Giovanni from USA I so miss Stella. Maria [sic] needs Stella. Bring back Stella. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 06:39)

Mariah and Brenda (104,690) by Edward from USA According to Talk of the Charts, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" are once again in a dead heat for the number one on the next Hot 100 with Rockin' having a slight edge. Stream guys. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 01:50)

Tanaka (104,688) by Edward from USA Eric, why the shade towards Andrew when he didn't have anything to do with the post you were replying to? Just curious. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 17:20) this is a reply to message 104,675

Tanaka (104,675) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "No straight man is going to stay with a woman who has no desire to give him any children." This is the most stupid thing I've read in a long time. And that also includes messages from Andrew. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 00:54)

Tanaka (104,681) by Edward from USA She didn't hide it, but she never acknowledged it either. He was clearly into her and she probably loved having a good/sane man by her side for a change. A man like Tanaka would eventually want something deeper than playing house but Mariah wasn't into him like. He was always like a walking aide for her, at least that's the way we saw him all the time. He says they parted ways amicably which implies there wasn't a huge fight or any shady situation going on. I wish him well. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 11:58) this is a reply to message 104,677

Tanaka (104,677) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While it's true Mariah never made any statements about their relation I don't think she hid it. She had posted cute couple photos of themselves together a lot on social media including Valentine's Day and other romantic stuff. So she never hid it. It could be that after 7 years together the relationship ran its course and they decided to split due to wanting different things in life. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 01:46)

Tanaka (104,676) by Edward from USA I don't think it has anything to do with kids. Probably he proposed to Mariah and she said no. We all deep down knew that relationship wasn't going anywhere. During their 8-year relationship, Mariah never acknowledged having a relationship with him, not even once. If I were him, I would've exited left many years ago. After three year, if there's not any kind of commitment, one should keep it moving. I think that's what he did. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 01:34) this is a reply to message 104,675

Merry Christmas to all (104,668) by Edward from USA Nah, I was just asking. (Tuesday 26 December 2023; 13:20) this is a reply to message 104,661

Merry Christmas to all (104,661) by enwar00 from usa A golden shower. Did you have one today? (Monday 25 December 2023; 23:33)

Charts (104,667) by Edward from USA That's if Brenda doesn't snatch a week or two next year. AIWFCIY needs five more weeks to break the record. She would have to also remain at #1 week too. (Tuesday 26 December 2023; 13:17) this is a reply to message 104,666

Charts (104,666) by Dennis from Underneath the Stars Unless Billboard changes the cart rules, AIWFCIY may beat Old Town Road record next year. (Tuesday 26 December 2023; 09:59)

Charts (104,663) by Edward from USA She's number one for a second week. And most likely next week too. (Tuesday 26 December 2023; 01:08) this is a reply to message 104,662

Charts (104,662) by Tameka walker from United states What is Mariah's chart position for Christmas this week? (Tuesday 26 December 2023; 00:11)

Merry Christmas to all (104,659) by Edward from USA That'll be a boost for next week position on Billboard. Record: the only song that has been the first and last number one of the year five years in a row. Sorry. I've been splashing heavily, Mariah told me to do it. Question? What is it called when you shower in gold? I can't seem to remember. (Monday 25 December 2023; 20:34) this is a reply to message 104,658

Merry Christmas To All (104,658) by Robert-Anthony from United States Don't forget to catch last year's Christmas special tonight at 8pm Eastern on CBS. (Monday 25 December 2023; 20:04)

MC (104,653) by Edward from USA In the US Santa used to say: Hoe Hoe Hoe. That was before cancel culture of course. Merry Christmas to you all. (Monday 25 December 2023; 14:35) this is a reply to message 104,651

MC (104,651) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Merry Christmas to all. Ho ho ho. (Monday 25 December 2023; 13:20)

Last Christmas number one (104,640) by Edward from USA Last Christmas deserves to be #1 here in the US too. Merry Christmas. (Sunday 24 December 2023; 17:55) this is a reply to message 104,638

Last Christmas number one (104,638) by MusicfanJ from Germany I heard that "Last Christmas" is number one in the UK. I always loved it. It's played a lot here in Germany. I grew up with this Christmas song. Anyway I wish you all Merry Christmas. I hope you have joyful and peaceful days. (Sunday 24 December 2023; 15:07)

Clarity (104,637) by Edward from USA Merry Christmas has gone from 5x Platinum to 9x Platinum in just four years. It has sold about 300K this Christmas season so far. Caution is not even close to reach gold status and Mariah Carey is stuck at 9x Platinum since the late 90's. I would say Merry Christmas is loved by most. (Sunday 24 December 2023; 13:26) this is a reply to message 104,636

Clarity (104,636) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Do you think Merry Christmas is Mariah's most globally adored album, because of its clarity? I personally like MCII more than MCI, however I have been listening to MCI recently on vinyl, and I feel like the production on MCI allows Mariah's voice to be clear and admired and takes a beat to breath. What other Mariah albums are as vocally forward as Merry Christmas? I would suggest Emotions, Emancipation, Caution. Those are the most vocally clear albums in my opinion. Thoughts? (Sunday 24 December 2023; 03:34)

Billboard Hot 100 12/30/2023 (104,625) by Edward from USA The numbers are in: Mariah stays at #1 for another week and it will most likely be the first #1 of 2024. She's 8 points ahead of Brenda Lee. (Saturday 23 December 2023; 01:24)

Happy Birthday, Randy (104,602) by Edward from USA Happy Birthday Randy. I hope you get a bottle of wine and a good copy of Right to Dream and enjoy. (Wednesday 20 December 2023; 23:57) this is a reply to message 104,601

Happy Birthday, Randy (104,601) by Andrew from the UK Everyone wish Randy a Happy Birthday. It's his 32nd, would you believe? That's right. It's his 32nd anniversary of when he was 12. Happy Birthday, Randy. (Wednesday 20 December 2023; 23:22)

Mariah is back at #1 (104,586) by Edward from USA According to Billboard, Mariah is back at #1. (Monday 18 December 2023; 19:27)

My All (Kanye's arrangement) (104,585) by Edward from USA I agree. The voice came out effortlessly and clean. I hope she delivers some good vocals on her next album. (Monday 18 December 2023; 14:12) this is a reply to message 104,581

My All (Kanye's arrangement) (104,581) by Jamie from UK The bit where she sings in the interview setting, she sounds great like she used to in interviews and also very composed and not saying "dahling" every two seconds. I approve. (Monday 18 December 2023; 00:25)

AIWFCIY back at #1 (104,570) by Edward from USA Mariah is way ahead of Brenda in airplay, way ahead. As we get closer to Christmas, AIWFCIY is gaining more momentum. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 02:17) this is a reply to message 104,569

AIWFCIY back at #1 (104,569) by enwar00 from usa I just read on Talk of the Charts that AIWFCIY is predicted to be back at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 next week, overtaking Brenda Lee again. Suddenly things seem a little brighter again. Mimi back at #1 where she belongs. It's still a prediction as Billboard doesn't release the official top 10 until Monday. But hopefully it will be, and for the next 3 weeks. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 01:43)

Another close call (104,521) by Edward from USA Brenda is back at number one, but not for such a huge margin: these are the numbers. RATCT: 41.3 million streams (up 18%), 20.5 million radio airplay (down 1%) and 6,000 downloads (up 109%) AIWFCIY: 38.5 million streamsn(up 19%), 24.1 million radio and airplay (up 12%) and 5,000 downloads/sales (up 29%) While RATCT has 2.9 million streams more than AIFCIY, the latter has 3.6 millions radio airplay more than RATCT. Brenda airplay is already decreasing while Mariah's keep going up. AIWFCIY will definitely be number one by Christmas day. Brenda's numbers will deflate faster after Christmas.

MC, Ariana and JHud (104,518) by Edward from USA JHud was on her bad side. (Tuesday 12 December 2023; 03:03) this is a reply to message 104,515

MC, Ariana and JHud (104,515) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I too was thinking why is she not giving JHud the time of the day because Jenny was doing the most and Mariah just treated her like background noise while only looking at Ariana. It was a missed opportunity to he really iconic. But I really wonder why Mariah has become so rigid. In a new instagram post of her backstage singing AIW with her team and walking around everyone's jumping and having fun and she is just so stiff. I hope it's not a health issue then I'll feel bad for saying it but it's been really prominent. (Tuesday 12 December 2023; 01:46)

MC, Ariana and JHud (104,511) by Edward from USA She's working on the film adaptation of Wicked: the musical. It's a two-part adaptation. She was already exhausted of releasing music and touring so frequently and admitted to have been on antidepressants. It's a good thing she's focusing on one thing at a time. (Monday 11 December 2023; 22:54) this is a reply to message 104,510

MC, Ariana and JHud (104,510) by Zachariah from Croatia Never noticed that she (Ariana) was not performing. Did someting happened to her? (Monday 11 December 2023; 22:13)

MC, Ariana and JHud (104,509) by Edward from USA It was just a missed opportunity at having an iconic performance. Sorry but that whistle note was awful. (Monday 11 December 2023; 22:13) this is a reply to message 104,507

MC, Ariana and JHud (104,507) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Not sure if anyone discussed this yet (didn't get to catch up) but when I heard she brought out Ariana (who's been in hiding for years) I was super excited. Side note I think Mariah and Ariana should collaborate on a non Christmas song along the lines of "Touch my body", their voices complement each other. Ok back to the topic, why was Mariah so stiff? Like Ariana was skipping around dancing and enjoying, JHud was moving around but Mariah just looked like she was pinned to one location and wouldn't move. I see this a lot in her appearances. This was an upbeat song and you'd think they'd probably even try to recreate the video choreo, or if there wasn't enough time just walk around. But she was locked in position and looked like she was reading off instructions on a monitor or something. Mariah girl you've been performing to sold out shows for a while now you'd think she'd have more control over her stage presence. (Monday 11 December 2023; 21:52)

Congratulations (104,502) by Edward from USA Sorry, only lesbians and gays on MCArchives. Eric is straight, that's why he's the webmaster. You're welcome to stay though, we're very inclusive and only argue on Thursdays. (Monday 11 December 2023; 15:18) this is a reply to message 104,501

Congratulations (104,501) by Zachariah from Croatia Of course she will get to number one. She looks better than ever, she sounds amazing (I don't understand why some people say she is lip syncing when clearly she is singing live) and she will be number one for Christmas. Btw, I have to ask - are there any straight people here or I am the only straight guy here? (Monday 11 December 2023; 08:48)

News (104,500) by Edward from USA Those singles won't do much on Christmas. (Monday 11 December 2023; 00:54) this is a reply to message 104,498

News (104,498) by Robert-Anthony from United States Yes. She may make it to number one, but it is going to be tough this year because of Tate McRae and Nicki Minaj current singles. (Sunday 10 December 2023; 23:02)

News (104,495) by Edward from USA Mariah was dominating on airplay and sales last when RATCT hit number one, now she's only ahead on radio airplay. I don't think she'll dethrone Brenda just yet. At this point, the figures Talkofthecharts has are very accurate. (Sunday 10 December 2023; 17:32) this is a reply to message 104,494

News (104,494) by Nicole from US Talk of the charts said it's close again. As of morning of December 10 Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" are looking to closely compete for #1 again on next week's Billboard Hot 100 (December 23rd chart), as the former begins to accelerate faster on streaming.
