Patient Zero (114,615) by TJ from Norway There's some kind of monkey business around Taylor's career. I think it is much easier to manipulate numbers and popularity these days than before. All her songs are the same, a big snore-fest if you ask me. (Thursday 1 October 2026; 11:58) this is a reply to message 114,605

Patient Zero (114,605) by Edward from USA Taylor's "Patient Zero" is expected to debut at #1 on the Hot 100 next week, knocking "Choosin' Texas" out of the top spot. That means "AIWFCIY" would only need to spend two weeks at #1 this holiday season to reclaim the record. Taylor would move to 16 #1s, putting her just three away from tying Mariah. Four more and she ties the Beatles, and five more would give her the all-time record. With Taylor's popularity at its peak, that's probably where this is headed. So I think it's best that we all hold hands, gather around the campfire, and mourn the 19 #1's record now. That way, when it actually happens, maybe it won't hurt quite as much. The one record I'm not so sure Taylor can touch, though, is most cumulative weeks at #1. Mariah is at 101 weeks, while Rihanna is the closest at 60, and Taylor is currently at 49. That's still a pretty big gap. And just like that, the charts are getting somewhat interesting again. (Tuesday 29 September 2026; 03:30)

So 1997 (114,601) by TJ from Norway I forgot the 25 years release. What happened to her debut album and the vault? I'm confused. (Sunday 27 September 2026; 08:39) this is a reply to message 114,598

So 1997 (114,598) by Jamie from UK I don't think we will get an MC30 for Butterfly as we got a 25th anniversary edition so I don't think the need is there. She definitely needs to do something with the debut and Emotions albums though, I need me some more new unheard songs from that era. (Saturday 26 September 2026; 13:27)

So 1997 (114,597) by TJ from Norway I like to believe that 1997 was yesterday and that Butterfly still has some singles on the top 100's. And then I looked at the calendar. I just realised that we might be very lucky next year if she keeps up the tradition with her 30th anniversary albums. She has expressed her love for that album so many times, that I really do believe she can do some magic with such a release. What do you think? (Friday 25 September 2026; 23:08)

23 Weeks (114,594) by TJ from Norway Today's number ones don't count. It's rubbish. Todays sales numbers don't count either. Periode. (Friday 25 September 2026; 18:24) this is a reply to message 114,593

23 Weeks (114,593) by Edward from USA Remember when debuting at #1 on the Hot 100 actually felt like a huge accomplishment? Now Ariana has done it eight times. "One Sweet Day" held the record for 23 years, 4 months and 13 days. It took Mariah 6 years and 5 months to reclaim it, and now, just 8 months and 19 days later, it's broken again. I don't know if you see the trend here. I wouldn't have minded if "Despacito", a worldwide phenomenon, or "A Bar Song (Tipsy)", which was absolutely everywhere in the US, had taken the record. But "Old Town Road" and "Choosin' Texas"? Nah. Sorry. I've always followed the charts, but this is getting so frustrating that I'm probably going to stop paying so much attention. At this point, some of it just doesn't make sense to me anymore. (Friday 25 September 2026; 15:13)

23 Weeks (114,590) by TJ from Norway What's funny is that it seems like no one have heard of her, she has less monthly listeners on Spotify than Mariah and still does this. It's like Taylor Swift. The same amount of listeners as Lady Gaga, but everything she touches turns into gold. (Friday 25 September 2026; 07:38) this is a reply to message 114,587

23 Weeks (114,587) by Edward from USA I'm a little bitter about "Choosin' Texas" taking over AIWFCIY's 22-week record. The frustrating part is that the song closest to overtaking it is still pretty far behind in overall points, so "Choosin' Texas" could possibly rack up another two or three weeks at #1. If that happens, even if "AIWFCIY" manages to score four more weeks at #1, it would only match it or beat it by one week. And that's assuming "AIWFCIY" doesn't start deflating by then.

Wonderful idea (114,562) by TJ from Norway Fantastic. I just love those names. What about Dream Brother? (Friday 18 September 2026; 07:28) this is a reply to message 114,560

Wonderful idea (114,560) by Bill from the UK Eddie, you are onto something. The signs have been there for years, how did we not notice Mariah was gradually heading in this direction? I feel like such a fool. The curly brown hair to the blonde wigs. The impressive diva voice to the more simplistic and straight forward approach. The steady enlargement of her bust. As one country superstar sadly leaves us, another emerges from her cocoon. What will the album be called? Butterbean? Hay Dream? Merry Christmas y'all? We await with baited breath.

Singing live (114,557) by TJ from Norway I went to see Alison Moyet this evening and enjoyed a concert where at least 99% of the performances was live. It was so much fun watching this 65 years old woman sing and move around on stage like a 30 years old. She started out 9 years before MC and seems to still enjoy what she is doing. A black skirt, a black shirt and flat shoes. Noe costume changes, no dancers and so on. One strong voice, and a hell of a show. I was thinking that this is how MC should do it.

The new album (114,527) by TJ from Norway I originally wrote the same abouts the boring so called RnB, but deleted it. So nice to see that others have the balls to say it out loud. (Sunday 6 September 2026; 21:16) this is a reply to message 114,524

The new album (114,524) by Bill from the UK If Mariah is indeed releasing new music, please, please, please for the love of God and all that is holy do something different from the usual tired, boring R&B she's been pedalling since 1997. A jazz album, a covers album, a gospel album, a concept album, just anything other than "y'all know who this is", staccato sung ballads, and guest rappers. Please. (Sunday 6 September 2026; 12:14)

Article: Gorgeous Mariah Carey looks absolutely radiant (114,523) by TJ from Norway When are we to expect the new album? I'm so ambivalent about this news. On one hand she might make something I love, but I'm so afraid it will be another disaster. (Sunday 6 September 2026; 09:22) this is a reply to message 114,520

Article: Gorgeous Mariah Carey looks absolutely radiant (114,520) by Bobby A from United States Today we found out via personal trainer Terrance Michael Boston's Instagram why MC has been looking a lot thinner and gorgeous lately. Someone is preparing for a new album for sure. (Sunday 6 September 2026; 01:28)

Article: Mariah Carey confirms new music (114,512) by TJ from Norway Sadly enough it's an album that I can't listen to. (Tuesday 1 September 2026; 22:47) this is a reply to message 114,509

Article: Mariah Carey confirms new music (114,509) by Bobby A from United States I don't think MC cares anymore about industry recognitions at this point. She just wants to release new music for the Lambs. That glow and innocence on her face when she played HFIA in the U.K. last year said it all about how much MC enjoys creating new music for us. (Monday 31 August 2026; 23:03)

Glitter and Daydream (114,472) by TJ from Norway But why don't they release the same music in both formats? (Monday 24 August 2026; 18:31) this is a reply to message 114,466

Glitter and Daydream (114,466) by Tevin from USA I'm so happy that vinyls are popular again. I have a wall full of records in my apartment. I'm still waiting for my Daydream anniversary vinyl to arrive. I understand why many people love cds, but if I had to choose I'd prefer a vinyl record over a cd. (Monday 24 August 2026; 05:43)

Glitter and Daydream (114,455) by TJ from Norway Me too, and I want the Madison Square Garden concert released on the cd version. (Sunday 23 August 2026; 10:12) this is a reply to message 114,451

Glitter and Daydream (114,451) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I only buy CDs. (Sunday 23 August 2026; 02:19)

Glitter and Daydream (114,449) by TJ from Norway I don't understand why the CD releases are less attractive than the LP. Let's start a petition. (Saturday 22 August 2026; 20:59)

Eva Langley (114,390) by TJ from Norway I'm not sure if this topic has been up for a discussion earlier, but 17 weeks at number one on the Billboard top 100? I have never heard the name before today. How about you? (Thursday 13 August 2026; 17:25)

Messy message, no real topic (114,335) by TJ from Norway When I first read about the Christmas shows in the UK, I was excited like: "Manchester, here I come", but after a couple of minutes I got to think about her Christmas concert in Norway some years ago, and it is probably the same show this time as well. I had an all American joyful Christmas party experience back in 2018 and now it's time to let some other enjoy it. I've found my inner peace and realized that I just have to enjoy what have been, and be thankful for all that she did for me and the rest of the fans trough the 90's and so many years after her first album. The Beatles are still releasing old records with a lot of bonus materials, and that seems to be Mariah's plan as well, and I love it. She could have made the Daydream bonus disc more interesting (and added the concert), but it was nice to listen to the live songs. The plan for tomorrow is to listen to Madonna's latest album. I used to love her music, and she has written so many good songs. Strong lyrics. I think I got to go back to work soon. This vacation have made my brain soft. Enjoy the rest of the summer. (Thursday 30 July 2026; 21:52)

Soulless (114,291) by TJ from Norway I'm not sure if Mariah want that kind of friends. I guess no one is prepared for the life changes that celebrities goes through, but after almost 40 years it should be moments where you reflect over what kind of person you want to be. (Saturday 25 July 2026; 13:07) this is a reply to message 114,287

Soulless (114,287) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes people are the most dangerous people. They will never "help" you. A good friend is always honest and is trying to help because he/she really cares. The same with critics. Critics can help, of course they must be fair and motivating. But if something is wrong and everyone keeps applauding and smiling (mostly fake) that's dangerous. It happend to many legends. I hope Mariah has at least one person (a grown-up) who is honest and cares for her. A real friend. Not just an employee who will say yes to everything because of the money. (Friday 24 July 2026; 21:19)

Soulless (114,275) by TJ from Norway I got the same feeling. You just put it into words. Thank you. (Thursday 23 July 2026; 06:35) this is a reply to message 114,273

Soulless (114,273) by Jamie from UK I don't even think it's medicated as such I think it's something more neurological, the funny facial expressions it's like something is seriously wrong, like dementia or something along those lines. (Wednesday 22 July 2026; 20:18)

Daydream 30 - reflections (114,234) by TJ from Norway At one point, it will be [too] late. We, the fans will be so old that we don't understand the technology anymore. (Sunday 19 July 2026; 07:14) this is a reply to message 114,232

Daydream 30 - reflections (114,232) by Lighty from China Maybe they are saving the whole Rotterdam concert for the 35th/40th anniversary of Daydream. Who knows? (Sunday 19 July 2026; 02:48)

Article: Mariah is giving "Daydream" fans the ultimate surprise (114,219) by TJ from Norway When they mentioned One Night, I thought it was The Rarities I was reading about. (Saturday 18 July 2026; 01:08)

I could never forget about Daydream (114,151) by TJ from Norway Five times yes. I hope she reads your message, in case she needs to do some changes. (Monday 13 July 2026; 11:04) this is a reply to message 114,149

I could never forget about Daydream (114,149) by Bill from the UK I hope the album gets a high-res remaster, as it's her only Sony album (not including Unplugged) to have not received that treatment. It should obviously have the Chick album on it with Mariah's vocals, some select remixes, some more unearthed b-sides as I'm sure there's more than what appeared on The Rarities, and to top it all off, the audio of the London leg of the Daydream Tour, for which I was an attendee. (Monday 13 July 2026; 08:07)

I could never forget about Daydream (114,150) by TJ from Norway That makes me sad. Daydream with a new remix album, with updated remixes would be nice (ala what Madonna did this year when she re-released one of her earlier work). I just hope it's not old remixes that you find on all the cd-singles from the 90's. (Monday 13 July 2026; 10:25) this is a reply to message 114,140

I could never forget about Daydream (114,140) by Lighty from China Oh Mariah replied on Instagram "I want Chick out too but let Daydream have its moment dahhlings." So that's it. (Sunday 12 July 2026; 12:41)

Daydream 30 (114,142) by TJ from Norway Since it's a year on overtime, I hope it's filled with that secret album. But Daydream 30 and Glitter 25 this autumn? Maybe Glitter is put in the freezer for the next 5 years. (Sunday 12 July 2026; 14:11) this is a reply to message 114,138

Daydream 30 (114,138) by Stacey from USA Oh my gosh, I am freaking out, lol. I love the tease MC gave us. (Sunday 12 July 2026; 10:30)

The greatest female artist of all time snub (114,112) by TJ from Norway When they started claiming that, she wasn't the greatest female artist of all time. Both Nana Mouskori and Barbra Streisand (and I also guess Madonna) had sold more albums at the time, but MC was in the wind at the moment. (Tuesday 7 July 2026; 17:46) this is a reply to message 114,109

The greatest female artist of all time snub (114,109) by Bobby A from United States Why doesn't the music industry recognize MC more as the greatest female artist of all time? We all know that she has definitely earned the title. I think the music industry doesn't want to recognize her as the versatile artist that she is because it would cause an uproar among Whitney Houston's fanbase and stir up the whole debate of MC being the female artist who started the trend of merging pop, R&B and hip hop together. (Tuesday 7 July 2026; 03:50)

Wedding (114,105) by TJ from Norway Do you think or know if Mariah was invited to TS wedding? (Sunday 5 July 2026; 15:27)

MC in the studio (114,086) by TJ from Norway How accurate was your crystal ball before the release of MC16? (Friday 3 July 2026; 02:12) this is a reply to message 114,074

MC in the studio (114,074) by Bobby A from United States What if MC releases next year her best first single since Honey? Her vocals on the song have that buttery tone with the vocal layering and adlibs that she has been known for. This is what I foresee in the future. MC wants to make her return to the top again. MC17 just may be the album that will get her that Robin Roberts' interview to promote the new album. (Thursday 2 July 2026; 03:24)
