Re: Slick Rick (86,991) (86,997) by Licia from USA I was wondering that as well. I read somewhere that she sampled La Di Da Di for It's Like That, but I don't think that's true because the original song and ILT have no similarities to me. (Wednesday 12 December 2018; 09:19)

Hilarious article (86,996) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago I love this hilarious article - the writer is not taking things too seriously, but still manages to spin a whole other perspective while making it fun. (Wednesday 12 December 2018; 03:37)

Re: Caution's commercial performance (86,989) (86,995) by RibbonB from USA I find Caution the song to be boring and repetutive. The other two songs are great potential singles. I think she hopes this coming Caution tour will keep people interested. (Wednesday 12 December 2018; 02:46)

Re: Andrew (86,969) (86,994) by G.G. from USA Why? Why, would you summon a demon like that? (Wednesday 12 December 2018; 01:44)

Re: One Child live was perfect (86,978) (86,993) by Hector from Mexico I love the Christmas in Washington performance (2010). (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 23:14)

Some sales perspective (86,992) by Matt from Australia I just read a Rolling Stone article that says Miley's last album debuted at number 5 on Billboard and sold 45,000 in its first week. It hasn't even gone gold yet. Meanwhile her previous album, Bangerz, debuted at number 1 with 270,000 its first week. In short, many people's expectations for Mariah need a serious adjustment. Then you will realize how successful she still is. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 21:38)

Slick Rick (86,991) by Billy from Greece In several interviews Mariah mentioned that she had sampled Slick Rick prior to their collaboration. What song was she referring to? (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 21:29)

A Christmas Melody (86,990) by Hector from Mexico I must confess that I like that movie. Yes, it is corny as hell but I find it enjoyable. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 21:25)

Re: Caution's commercial performance (86,979) (86,989) by B from USA I don't think she's going to let this era end as a disappointment. I really hope she releases Caution, 8th Grade, and Giving Me Life as singles, those songs deserve to be heard. This album is in my top five, easily. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 21:19)

Re: AIWFCIY #7 (86,970) (86,988) by Hector from Mexico God knows this song deserves to be #1 (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 21:05)

Beacon 2014 (86,987) by Billy from Greece I don't think I had realized back then the quality of the vocals she delivered. Wow. Her singing "Hero" is where I'm at right now. Wow. Thank God for this woman. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 16:52)

Re: Caution album (86,985) (86,986) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I agree. But then again, people are pretty tired of Mariah after Christmas. I have noticed that radio channels that ususlly play Mariah's back catalogue, have a long break after New Year, and don't play her before April. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 16:00)

Re: Caution album (86,982) (86,985) by Shezz from Pk Makes sense for them to do that but it also shows a bit of bad planning to launch the album 2 weeks before her very busy Christmas season. I guess she was stuck because of her Asia tour. Best thing would have been to have a single or 2 out this year and just launch the album with a bang in the new year - hot off her Christmas popularity. Makes much more sense than shelving this "solid body of work" (I see you up there). I'm just praying the A No No remix doesnt get abandoned in all this. Though I do believe Mariah will support this album as soon as she can after all the work she's put in it. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 15:36)

Re: Billboard 200 album chart (86,983) (86,984) by MusicfanJ from Germany Deedre that's right. It's really a nice little movie for the Christmas time. It has a good message and humor (the Christmas decoration from the neighbor). Of course I love the original version with Mariah's narration. But even with the synchro it's enjoyable. How nice from your mom to buy it for you. Merry Christmas. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 15:25)

Re: Billboard 200 album chart (86,977) (86,983) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Musician, my mom just bought me a copy of the All I Want For Christmas Is You animated movie as she knows I love Mariah. She did a really good job on the project. It's a sweet movie for Christmas time. Enjoyable for all not just kids. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 14:56)

Re: Caution album (86,974) (86,982) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I read somewhere that the label has put the promotion of "Caution" on a hiatus until January, since people are so focused on her Christmas material now. They will continue promoting the album after New Year. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 14:19)

AIWFCIY at no. 7 (86,981) by darrian liu from taiwan Y'all this could actually reach no. 1 this year. It debuted in November. November (all caps). Then it went on to reach the top 10, at its highest peak thus far, and we're barely even have 2 weeks in December. Ari's Thank U, Next is definitely a pretty strong no. 1 (congrats to her, a no. 1 is difficult to get, not everybody has that) with the video being a massive hit, but with AIWFCIY continuing to gain in all metrics, plus the massive streaming numbers it will get in the days approaching Christmas and Christmas itself, it truly does have a chance. Y'all in the US, please stream, stream, stream. Don't forget that paid streams are weighted more than free streams. But at this rate, a top 5 placement is definitely guaranteed. I would even say that a top 3 is a guarantee, especially with the rest of the top 10 being quite weak. Let's go lambs. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 13:42)

Re: Caution album (86,974) (86,980) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines In today's music scene, I don't believe the strike-while-the-iron-is-hot mentality works that well anymore for this generation's most popular mainstream artists, let alone legends like Mariah. I think they should let AIWFCIY have its moment to shine first, especially now that it has just reached a new peak and we have at least two tracking weeks more before it falls out once again. Hopefully she hits the top 5 by then, and the press it would receive would be a great bed of positivity to release. Right after that, riding on that high, then they drop the A No No remix. It may not buoy the album back up, but at least it could be a hit thanks to Cardi's huge streaming pull. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 13:38)

Caution's commercial performance (86,979) by darrian liu from taiwan On one side I'm bummed that the public didn't embrace the album as much as I wanted to, but on the other, I'm just happy Mariah released an inspired, cohesive body of work. Caution is already in my list of favorite albums, and I'm glad that even though she didn't achieve commercial success with this one, she got the critical acclaim that she gets way too little in her career. I'd rather have her release 3 flop albums that are critical successes than 3 huge albums with dud songs. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 13:30)

One Child live was perfect (86,978) by Sheila from United States Just when you think it's all smoke and mirrors, she does an acoustic One Child snippet and sounds perfect. I love her snippets. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 11:48)

Re: Billboard 200 album chart (86,976) (86,977) by MusicfanJ from Germany I think it's not a surprise. I'm pretty sure her Christmas album will get even higher next week. Everywhere I go, I hear "AIWFCIY". With the strong streaming of it and downloads Mariah could get another present before Christmas night. This song is truly an everlasting gem. That a 24-year old Mariah wrote it makes it even more special. I even watched the animated kids movie yesterday. It was fun watching it. Little animated MC and Jack, too cute. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 10:26)

Billboard 200 album chart (86,976) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Finally Billboard published the album chart for the week of 8 December. There is good news and bad news. The good news is that Merry Christmas is at No 19 (up 31). The bad news is that Caution is at No 55 (down 50!) in its second week. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 09:59)

Re: 8th Grade (86,971) (86,975) by Bobby A from United States This jam should have been the official first single instead of With You. What was her team thinking? Has anybody heard the song on vinyl yet? You can really hear MC's pretty alto soprano tone very clearly like you were in the studio with her. Listening closely for the stacking of her vocals and ad libs. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 05:49)

Caution album (86,974) by Bobby A from United States MC just dropped one of the best albums of her career and I feel the whole album is about to fade into oblivion. Am I the only one feeling this way? Where is the A No No remix? I hope that I am worrying for nothing. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 05:43)

Re: Nottingham concert (86,972) (86,973) by Bill from the UK Thanks for the review. Unfortunately I couldn't afford tickets so really keen to hear what the UK lambs thought of the concert. Sounds like you had a great night. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 00:48)
