About T from USA :

The potential (93,184) by T from USA
After reading the last few days of messages I think we can all agree that the potential is there. Mariah could have a huge critical and commercial darling if she lessened the control like she did on TEOM and debut. Two albums that she had the guidance of someone else and two of her most outstanding releases in her career. Who would she trust to do this with again? Sylvia Rhone?

Re: The next album (93,165) (93,170) by T from USA
The last time she "revisited" the first so albums while working on a new one was MIAMTEC. According to Nick Cannon. And although I see some aspects in the ballads and the throwback dance tracks I'm not sure she had the best guidance at the time and the execution was slightly off. I do think the right producers would help her craft songs fitting of her beautiful talent. I also think Walter A, salty as he may be, is one of those producers.

The next album (93,164) by T from USA
First off, I loved Caution. And it is a nice addition to her vast discography. However I do think another album in the same vein would have just about the same level of success. I understand that nobody should make music depending on how it will do in the public eye but she still is Mariah Carey. And she still should have some level of success. The only thing I can think of is because we're in the 30th anniversary year maybe she could revisit the debut album as a blue print. I would even have a reunion with Walter A and see what happens. I mean I believe if anyone out there can have Adele like numbers it's still Mariah, with the right songs of course.

Salaam Remi (92,661) by T from USA
I wonder why Mariah has never worked with Salaam Remi. He's helped produced some of the biggest songs plus has worked with artists that she loves and respects; Nas, The Fugees, Doug E Fresh. I hope she's involved with Lee Daniels' new movie in which Salaam Remi is producing the music.

Re: E=MC2 era (92,159) (92,160) by T from USA
I agree. The whole era right down the quick marriage was weird and I don't think she had the right people around her. Loosing Sudack could have made her go off the rails a little bit combined with her feeling like she was untouchable. It stared there and then Obsessed and then Idol and it seemed like the attitude kept escalating. Until her second breakdown on New Years 2016.

Mariah Carey and Max Martin (92,082) by T from USA
It may never happen but wouldn't it be insane if the two biggest catchy pop producers finally combined for one song? I mean, Fantasy meets Opps I Did It Again. Dreamlover meets Blank Space. AIWFCIY meets I Can't Feel My Face. The next song should come from these two super producers.

Boxing Day streaming day (91,974) by T from USA
It is slightly behind in the UK at #2. This is it's big chance getting her a third number one. It really is now or never, as she's thrown everything at the wall. As well as a third week in the USA. Things will fall big time tomorrow so I do think we the lambs need a streaming day on December 26th. It could make all the difference. Don't quit now. One more massive streaming effort.

Mariah against the music (91,960) by T from USA
Remember in 2003 when Madonna teamed up Britney and it gave her career a little jolt? Actually a big jolt because her next studio album was the very successful COADF. I wonder if Mariah duetting with Ariana would possibly be this generations version leading one one last successful mega selling album by MC? Just a thought.

Wally A listed first (91,891) by T from USA
Why in the credits on YouTube for the new video does Walters name appear first in the writers category? Is that Sony’s way of says no he wrote more of it? Or is that just how it was registered at the very beginning?

Re: Please (91,885) (91,890) by T from USA
I think she loves her babies too much to re-record and change them out right. Even when she re-recorded AIWFCIY on MCIIY she basically kept it exactly the same. I would love a jazz album if she worked with the right people. I would also love an album she completely produces herself but I'm not sure that's possible given that she can't play instruments. So someone will always be in the back ready to take some of the credit. Honestly, she's had so many downs that I wouldn't mind her stopping recording right now and end on this super high. People love her, she's seen as a living legend, why jeopardize that now?

Re: Hoping for work on new album in 2020 (91,835) (91,843) by T from USA
I totally agree with Poo Bear. I think the next time out they will come up with even better songs, hard to believe but I really do. However, you can't have another "Butterfly" without Walter A unfortunately. He was right, together they do a certain kind of pop song that hasn't been able to be done without the both of them together. Butterfly benefited by that partnership.

Stream like there's no tomorrow (91,831) by T from USA
Bieber releasing a new single December 24th could ruin Mariah's chance at being the only artist to have a #1 in 4 separate decades. He usually sells 300k in the first few days. AIWFCIY will do 20k so the only chance we have in our control is streaming. Chart week starts today December 20-26. Don't take anything to chance. Stream like there's no tomorrow.

Re: Variety - Walter A (91,815) (91,829) by T from USA
She will never go back with him. It could also be pride. I mean her instrument isn't anywhere where it was when she left him.

Re: Walter A. gets really candid (91,808) (91,828) by T from USA
I would like to think with all of Mariah's hard earned work, Tommy and Walter might have helped her get her last ever #1. She should call them both and say thank you.

Re: Lambs rejoice (91,730) (91,736) by T from USA
I know what you mean but how crazy would it be if Old Town Road only got to fifteen weeks and Mariah still held that record too. If only.

Congrats MC (91,720) by T from USA
When people say "yea but it was bound to happen", they mean for like one week during Christmas. Sure, but this is very different. This is a mid-December #1 hit in 2019. If she stays at #1 for three straight weeks then it will also be a long running #1 hit.

#1's world tour (91,719) by T from USA
I'm thinking she should either have a hot single waiting for January or she should capitalize on this by announcing a #1's world tour. (Singing AIWFCIY in July lol.) Let's keep up the streams and the sales because three weeks in a row and a fourth decade would be huge as the rules could change by next year so three weeks might be all we get. Don't quit now.
(Tuesday 17 December 2019; 14:51)
Re: #3 (91,569) (91,574) by T from USA
Juicy Wrld will be #1 next week and possibly the week after. Mariah's big chance will be Christmas week. I wish she could've done it in 2019 and 2020 but it looks like Lady Luck isn't on her side.
(Tuesday 10 December 2019; 02:44)
Re: #3 (91,565) (91,566) by T from USA
She won’t be #1 next week. But there will still be two weeks to try and get it. My feeling is Christmas week, but don’t forget streaming the heck out of it on Boxing Day US lambs. That will be our only chance.

Re: December 26th AIWFCIY lamb streaming party (91,537) (91,539) by T from USA
This is the kind of unfocused strategy that will help it miss the #1 spot. It's never going to happen in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Mariah's team knows this that's why all single shipments are happening on December 20th. Let's take the cue from them and make it happen. My point is Boxing Day on the 26th is where we may loose the top spot so if anything is going to be organized it should be for that day to keep the song up.

December 26th AIWFCIY lamb streaming party (91,535) by T from USA
I think the only (and best) shot for #1 is going to be Christmas week. December 20-26, those seven days. Period. The world shuts down and AIWFCIY takes over. The only day to watch is the 26th. Airplay, sales and streams will die a big death that day so the fans have to commit to a big streaming party or something that day. Like the first anniversary of Caution when we got streams 20% higher on that day alone. Can this be organized? Take nothing for granted she could literally miss the #1 spot by two points.

Re: AIWFCIY is already no.8 on Spotify (91,493) (91,494) by T from USA
Drake or Bieber too.

Re: Get off auto pilot, Mariah - keep creating (91,434) (91,444) by T from USA
I just don't think fans will be happy if she doesn't push herself the way they are used to seeing her do. She's in a different category for some reason. Just releasing music like Smoky Robinson does won't please her fans. Actually the industry as a whole still compares her to her peak times as well as still putting her in the same standards as the much generation of pop stars. So that's why I think one more full blown era with all stops is all she should do. After that test on the legacy, tour the vast catalogue.

Re: Get off auto pilot, Mariah - keep creating (91,427) (91,429) by T from USA
I agree but I do think one last album is all she needs. Her voice isn't what it once used to be and after about 30 years acts start to become more obscure and niche. Also if she doesn't feel like promo or playing the awards game then she will always have quick eras that really don't go anywhere. Caution is a masterpiece but if nobody hears it then did it really matter? I like how she's cementing her legacy, even though it seems a bit early she has been around a long time. And sometimes the market dictates when you become a legacy act. I wish she released more than just two albums this decades but I understand she had kids.

Re: AIWFCIY, 19th #1 (91,425) (91,428) by T from USA
Streaming and buying are the Friday to Thursday. Radio is the Monday to Sunday. So on the week of Christmas radio will only have three days unfortunately (23rd, 24th, 25th) but sales and streaming will have six (20th-25th). It's a long shot but streaming is enough on those six days combined with three heavy days of radio she has a shot. Christmas 2021 is when the week lines up better as Christmas falls on a Thursday (end of the week for both formats). But we can't wait another two years.
