The Ballads is Billboard 200's "Hot Shot Debut"

Mariah Carey's The Ballads is Billboard 200's highest debut, arriving at No. 10

 

Love is in the air and on the Billboard 200 as Mariah Carey's "Ballads" compilation is the chart's Hot Shot Debut at No. 10 with 29,000. It's the diva's 16th charting set and 14th top 10. Released through Columbia/Legacy, the new collection boasts downtempo hits and album cuts. It's the fourth best-of set that Carey has charted, following "#1's" (No. 4 in 1998), "Greatest Hits" (No. 52 in 2001) and "The Remixes" (No. 26 in 2003). You have to figure "Ballads" will keep singing on the chart as we get closer to Valentine's Day, as it seems like a natural gift purchase.

Someone said in another forum that it's Sony having the last laugh by having another BS collection of Mariah's hits going straight into the Top 10 in the US.

MTV says "My Love" is the 1st Single off "MC3"

 

Mariah Carey’s husband, Nick Cannon is directing her next music video…

 

Celebrity couple Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are set to work together on her next single My Love.

 

MTV star Nick is directing MiMi’s debut single from her new album MC3. Auditions for the video were held in North Hollywood on Wednesday with filming set to take place next week.

 

The single My Love features R’n’B hit maker The Dream, who is also at the helm for the new album.

 

Mariah’s next album could be her biggest yet. With The Dream (Beyonce, Madonna, Rihanna) producing hits for the album, he revealed: “I think it’s about just writing an album that includes the focus of all the hits that she’s had. … She can’t take a loss; she has to do everything to the T”.

 

“So it’s basically like we’re trying to make a greatest hits album without using the greatest hits.”

 

Nick and Mariah got married summer 2008 and have been in the public’s eye since!

[LuisMa]

What a ridiculous name. What would the three stand for?

[Nikosn17]

I can't believe this. She has absolutely lost her mind... WTF is that? I like My Love and all but first of all this talentless Nick needs to go away asap and second of all ''My Love'' is not worthy of being a lead single for a Mariah Carey album. She is crazier than during the Glitter era... Edited September 2, 2009 at 08:08 PM by Edwin

[Nikosn17]

Mariah + Nick + baby I guess She'll promote this album through her pregnancy

[LuisMa]

I hope it's not Mariah Carey + 3 hundred pounds she's gained since her last one.

 

Probably it also stands for FLOP number 3: Glitter, Charmbracelet and this one.

[Nikosn17]

 

lmao this thread will become from Mariah's new album to Mariah's new compilation album to Mariah's next new album I think a moderator should re-name the thread to something like ''The Mariah Thread'' or something like that It's not about her new album anymore.

Mariah FLOP albums since 2000 : Glitter, Charmbracelet, E=MC2. MC3 will be her 4th FLOP album in this decade so it should be renamed MC4 as it stands for FLOP number 4.

[Nikosn17]

E=MC2 wasn't a flop, get over it... well I'm not sure about this new album

[GoldenLeaf]

E= MC 2 it's the 16th best selling world wide album of 2008 for now

Now it's the 21th best selling world wide album of 2008. She's not in the Top20 anymore and she even got outsold by Il Divo's ''The Promise'' LOL!

E=MC2 is not even one of the Top20 best selling world wide album of 2008 plus it only sold 1.9 million worldwide despite an heavy promotion. Sorry but that's what I call a FLOP.

[Bradders]

1.9 million is a flop these days?

[Bradders]

My Love the first single from ''MC3'' as if! I'd be surprised if it was even a bonus track.

As for the actual name ''MC3'' ...the person who calls it that is The-Dream as his name for it.

Mariah Carey has denied that she felt snubbed when she was placed with other VIPs at Barack Obama's inauguration.

Reports had emerged that the singer felt that she should have been seated with the Obama family and that she left the event early when she realised that she was not.

But Carey's representative told People that this was not the case.

She said: "When she and Nick arrived in their section, she was surrounded by fans, but unfortunately it caused too much of a ruckus and it became a little unsafe.

"She was then escorted to safety by police."

Carey had previously said that Obama's election had made her "tear up" with emotion.

Of course it is!

 

Look, even Madonna's Hard Candy sold 3.3 millions copies worldwide without any difficulty and it was released after E=MC2.

MDJ Exclusive: Mariah in Manila, Charmbracelet Tour 2003

 

Here is exclusive, never-seen-before footage from a professional recording of Mariah's Charmbracelet World Tour stop in Manila, Philippines on November 16, 2003.

Amazing ! CB tour is really great. Even though she looks awful here, the performances are great... they should have released the Paris show (which they recorded for a DVD) instead of the awful TAOM DVD

omg omg omg i was theeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrreeeeeeee!!!

 

time flies... one of the best nights of my life and THE BEST birthday present i ever had.

 

i don't think she looked awful at all. she was bigger during that era, but she looked ok to me. she perspired a lot during the whole show.

I don't think E=MC2 is a flop. It underperformed. A flop could be Natasha Bedingfield's "Pocketful Of Sunshine" (sadly ), as even with a huge top 5 single and other hits on the charts, it managed only to crack gold.

Third Time's the Charm

For the third time since she left the Columbia label, the imprint has released a collection of Mariah Carey songs. What's different this time is that "The Ballads" (Columbia/Legacy) has landed in the top 10 of The Billboard 200.

 

"The Ballads," which bows at No. 10, is the 14th of Carey's 16 chart albums to reach the top 10. The only two albums that missed this elite tier are those above-mentioned Columbia releases. "Greatest Hits" stopped at No. 52 in December 2001 and "The Remixes" went to No. 26 in November 2003.

 

Carey made her debut on The Billboard 200 the week of June 30, 1990, with an eponymous set. That means we are just 16 months away from the 20-year anniversary of her first appearance on the album chart.

 

"The Ballads" also enters Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, at No. 7. It is the 13th top 10 title for Carey on this survey. "Greatest Hits" (No. 36) and "The Remixes" (No. 25) also missed the upper region on this chart, as did her "MTV Unplugged EP" (No. 16 in July 1992).

Wasn't she supposed to have come back and performed at the Big Dome during the emancipation era? I wonder why it didn't materialize.

seriously? i didn't know that. isn't the Big Dome quite small to hold a massive crowd?

 

i can still remember when she screamed "i love you Manila!" (if i'm not mistaken that was during the Heartbreaker performance), there was this gay standing at my back shouted "chariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!" that was hilarious! and i've seen few local celebrities there (Aga Muhlach & Charlene Gonzales, Richard Gomez and Lucy Tores, Bayani Agbayani and his whole family, Ryan Agoncillo, Nina, Kyla, the ASAP Champions, Zsa Zsa and Karylle, i don't know if Regine was also there. i had no idea.)
