Mariah clearly admits that IDJ didn't have enough money to pay for the Obsessed video the way she wanted it to be here:

http://www.mtv.com/videos/news/421215/mari...html#id=1616922

What a f***** up company... If they don't have money for a music video, how will they pay for the promo? Mariah should leave them for the next album...

If she leaves IDJ it's gonna be a tough choice for a new record company. I would've said do a LiveNation deal, but that'd mean she would have to tour for every album and I doubt she is up for that. But yeah I don't think IDJ cares about her much anymore.

Maybe this has something to do with the fact that E=MC2 and The Ballads have been huge flops. :innocent:

Here we go again. E=MC2 wasn't a HUGE flop by any means. #1 album and #1 single don't mean a huge flop but we've already discussed that like a million times before so think whatever you want.

I think you should not reply to negative comments and just let them be. People think what they like and that's the way it is. Besides, if you reply, you'll add fuel to them because they know you hate it when they post that stuff. Edited July 27, 2009 at 06:32 PM by LuisMa

Believe whatever you want and keep denying the evidence but you perfectly know that E=MC2 was not a ''hit'' in term of sales nor in term of charts success. As far as I know the only places in the world where this album has been #1 were in the Japan, Canada and the U.S. and we all know that IDJ weren't satisfied with the worldwide sales of both E=MC2 & The Ballads so it's not surprising to see that they didn't want to lose money on her ''Obsessed'' music video. :rolleyes: :bye1:

1. The Ballads is a Sony product, and if anyone thought it was going to sell a lot they're crazy

2. E=MC2 might not have done up to expectations, but it was not the huge flop you like to make it out to be. One #1 hit, another single that went to Top 20, I wouldn't call that a flop. I would say many debuting artists would kill for that.

Mariah and IDJ didn't know that JD was going to do this. There is some kind of a scandal now. They won't play the song again. Some fans confirmed to have recorded the song but they won't share it cause the company doesn't want the song to leak. Damn it... Edited July 28, 2009 at 07:14 AM by Nikosn17

July 29, 2009 at 02:38 PM

There is also a rumoured scandal regarding this album. MC and JD seems to have a tiff over the fact that MC didn't use JD's songs in this album except a few and that she employed some other producers for it. I'll have to get the whole tweet that was on twitter about this :blink:

On this week's Digital Sales, Mariah sees a 4% increase:

17 14 CAREY*MARIAH OBSESSED 64018 4 61433 244717

Airplay is up as well:

No. 29 - Mariah Carey (+5.8 million)

So "Obsessed" might appear in the 14-18 region of the Hot 100 tomorrow.

July 29, 2009 at 05:16 PM

July 29, 2009 at 05:18 PM

And the naysayers who said "Obsessed" was ignored from pop radio should think again, as "Obsessed" is at number 40 on Mediabase's CHR reporting panel, and it should rise, as the add dates for the song on pop radio was last Monday.

Mariah Carey Does Vegas Residency!

So is Mariah Carey headed down the path of irrelevancy???

Maybe. Maybe not.

PerezHilton.com has just learned that the singer is scheduled to perform a series of "intimate" engagements at the Pearl theater at the Palms Casino Resort in September and October.

Tickets start at a cool $129 a pop and go up to $254.

A stint in Vegas is appropriately cheesy for the Butterfly Princess!

And she's probably gonna make bank too!

Official Press Release: Mariah at The Palms, Las Vegas

Superstar to perform special engagement at the Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms Casino Resort

With worldwide sales of more than 175 million albums, Mariah Carey - the most successful female recording artist in history - is set to perform the most intimate shows of her career in a special engagement at The Pearl Concert Theater inside the Palms Casino Resort. These performances will take place on Friday, September 11; Saturday, September 12; Friday, October 9 and Saturday October 10, 2009. Show time for each performance is 8 pm.

These once-in-a-lifetime, up-close-and-personal performances at The Pearl are the first of its kind and surround the highly anticipated release of Mariah's latest album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel which features the current hit single "Obsessed." "Obsessed" was written and produced by Mariah, The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, who are responsible for the majority of tracks on the new album. Memoirs is scheduled to arrive on September 15, 2009. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, the 12th studio album of Mariah's career, is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to her RIAA platinum-selling album E=MC² (released April 15, 2008), and her worldwide 10 million selling The Emancipation Of Mimi (released April 12, 2005). Both were Soundscan #1 debut albums that made chart history for Mariah in the U.S. and numerous territories around the globe.

The Emancipation Of Mimi generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemporary R&B Album), two #1 singles and countless more honors during its 18-month chart stay. The album debuted at #1 with first week sales of 404,000 copies, Mariah's highest first week sales total (until E=MC²). Soundscan's biggest-selling album of 2005, Mimi featured "We Belong Together" (Grammy winner for Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song) and "Don't Forget About Us," Mariah's 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively. They tied one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's.

Three years later, E=MC² debuted at #1 with first week sales of 463,000 copies, which now stands as the highest first week sales total of Mariah's career. The album's success brought total sales of Mariah's albums, singles and videos to more than 175 million worldwide, distancing her even further from the pack as the top-selling female recording artist in history. E=MC² spun off four singles: "Touch My Body," "Bye Bye," "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time," and "I Stay In Love." Of these, "Touch My Body" made history when it became Mariah's 18th #1 Hot 100 hit, thus surpassing Elvis Presley. The track's two weeks at the top also marked Mariah's 78th and 79th cumulative career weeks at #1, which tied Elvis' long-standing all-time high of 79 weeks at #1, as calculated in Billboard.com. At the same time, Mariah is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 50 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with the potential to surpass the Beatles' all-time high of 20 #1 hits.

This event is presented by Andrew Hewitt and Live Nation. The Pearl Box Office is open from noon - 7:00 pm. daily. Doors will open at 7:00 pm. and show time is 8:00 pm.

The Monetization of Mimi: Mariah CD to Have Ads

Aug 1, 2009

- Becky Ebenkamp

As music sales continue to drop like they're not so hot throughout the industry, Island Def Jam Music Group is jamming on a new business model: integrating brands into artists' CD booklets.

The first deal, created for the Mariah Carey release Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel on Sept. 15, is a 34-page co-production with Elle magazine that includes lifestyle ads from Elizabeth Arden, Angel Champagne, Carmen Steffens, Le Métier de Beauté and the Bahamas Board of Tourism. Providing the experiment goes well, the label is eyeing bigger brand deals for booklets of CDs by Rihanna, Bon Jovi, Kanye West and other artists.

http://www.brandweek.com/bw/photos/stylus/100440-Cover_08-03.jpg

The mini magazine contains Mariah-centric editorial ("VIP Access to Her Sexy Love Life," "Amazing Closet," "Recording Rituals") and lifestyle advertising along with lyrics and other CD booklet elements. Elle contributed the editorial and designed the layout.

http://www.brandweek.com/bw/photos/stylus/100441-Mariah.jpg

The booklets were created for the first run of U.S. CDs (1 million) and the first 500,000 overseas, said Jeff Straughn, svp-strategic marketing for Island Def Jam Music Group. It will also be available in a digital format for those who buy music online. A condensed version of the Mariah mag, sans the 14 pages of CD-specific material, will be inserted into 500,000 subscription copies of Elle's October issue, which arrives mid-September.

http://www.brandweek.com/bw/photos/stylus/100442-CD_case.jpg

"The idea was really simple thinking: 'We sell millions of records, so you should advertise with us,'" said Antonio "L.A." Reid, chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group, a unit of Universal Music Group. "My artists have substantial circulation-when you sell 2 million, 5 million, 8 million, that's a lot of eyeballs. Most magazines aren't as successful as those records."

Carey was "very open" to the concept when Reid showed her a mock-up of the booklet in a magazine format that included brand imagery synonymous with her lifestyle. "I wouldn't want to do Mariah Carey and Comet abrasive cleaner," Reid said, laughing. "I wanted things that really reflected her taste."

Reid said the program was unprecedented. Terry Dry, president of Los Angeles-based digital-word-of-mouth marketing agency Fanscape, agreed, saying that the CD booklet advertising is a first, though he wouldn't be surprised if more labels look into doing the same thing: "Hollywood Records [Disney], I know they love to monetize all over the place for something like a Jonas Brothers record. Open any rap record and a couple of inserts will come flying out, usually for a business the artist is a part of. I wouldn't be surprised if 50 Cent had a Vitaminwater thing."

Labels are looking for ways to eke out extra bucks, borrow equity and cut costs anywhere they can today. Year-to-date album sales were down 13.9 percent for the week ending July 19, 2009, compared with the period last year, according to Nielsen SoundScan (227 million units vs. 195.5 million units). Of those 2009 sales, 18.9 percent, or 41.9 million, were digital.

Ad revenues are subsidizing 100 percent of Island Records' costs for the Carey booklet, but label execs also see the alliance as a way to expand distribution at a time when the local music store is becoming as rare as the Beatles' Yesterday and Today LP with the "Butcher" cover.

"We don't have music retailers any more, so a smart consumer products company that understands the value in distributing music is going to restore the vitality of our business," Reid speculated. "If we distribute music properly and if it's done tastefully, it could be a huge profit center for all of us. That is the missing link-we need partnerships."

To underscore the point: At one large retail establishment, partner Elizabeth Arden is allowing the label to cross-promote the release. The CD Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel will be merchandised directly outside Walmart's music aisle with Carey's new signature Arden fragrance, Forever, which has its ad on the booklet's back cover. The CD and scent will also be displayed together in the beauty department.
