Mariah Carey: Official Topic

[GoldenLeaf]

Mariah's career is as dead as the proverbial dodo.

 

Exactly. That is why she is still breaking records.

Her career is only still alive in the USA and dead in the rest of the world.

It doesn't metter. USA is the biggest market.

 

No it is not, there are artist such as robbie williams and anastacia who dont sell 1 copy in Usa but they have multi platinum albums(4-5 millions world wide)thanks to Europe or Asia for example!

 

Yeah but there are artists who sell more than 5-6 millions only in USA and have multi platinum albums... Mariah, Beyonce...

Asia + Europe = 2 continents, a lot more contries.

sure! so Usa it's as big as Europe talking about market

I didnt say asia+europe i sais "or"

 

BTW:

08 CAREY*MARIAH E=MC2 35,581 -21% TOTAL 967,568

so she needs exactly 32,432 copies next week to reach 1 million!

you're totally right VinnyT!

and E=MC2 will never sells 5 millions in USA alone as it'll hardly reach 1.5 M

[Nikosn17]

Yeah but there are artists who sell more than 5-6 millions only in USA and have multi platinum albums... Mariah, Beyonce...

Those days are gone. 3M in the US nowadays is the biggest an artist can hope for.

yes i agree 100%

 

am... Beyonce sold more than 5 millions with B-day. Mariah sold more than 6 millions with TEOM.

[dj4celine]

I wonder how much Usher's new album would sell in the US with Confessions having sold over 9M there... and yes, Mimi still holds the record for the biggest debut of 2008. I don't think there are anymore big debuts this year other than Whitney (if it would be released as mentioned millions of times in the past 4 years )

Coldplay will probably beat her.

Usher 443k vs 462k mariah

uh-uh .... I predict atleast 2M in the US. But yes, 1.5M for TCh maybe...

 

oh no... here I go again comparing the two albums

am... Beyonce sold more than 5 millions with B-day. Mariah sold more than 6 millions with TEOM.

 

That was two years ago and they both re-released the album and both had huge singles and tours for support. If E=MC2 reaches half of what TEOM sold, I'd be very glad

[Prince Whiskers]

am... Beyonce sold more than 5 millions with B-day. Mariah sold more than 6 millions with TEOM.

I know, Nikos, but year after year , the impact of digital piracy increases DRAMATICALLY. Josh Groban's X'mas album was, I have to say, an aberration. 4M in 3 months!

[dj4celine]

Coldplay will probably beat her.

 

Oh yeah... I forgot about them even though I can't stand them. Thanks

Yup! I couldn't remember the exact numbers so I didn't post. Thanks, Vinny

Whitney who?? lol Her album is slated for the next holiday season but make no mistake about it, the worldwide edition of.....don't club me, you know how Sony thinks ......Complete Best will give it competition.

[VinnyT.]

uh-uh .... I predict atleast 2M in the US. But yes, 1.5M for TCh maybe...

 

yes I think 2 million in Usa for mariah including re-release

1.1 million for TCH including re-release

[Prince Whiskers]

uh-uh .... I predict atleast 2M in the US.

 

At the rate things ARE going....nah.

Oh trust me on that one, Manuel. The "lambs" (I use this word cos Mimi resurrected it) are worse than the "Celine-peeps (as per Chuck Taylor )"/SCFs

 

:mdr:

I agree. It'll took her 8 weeks to reach 1M with all the promo on TV she had in the last weeks so she'll definitely not reach 2M.. maybe 1.3M 1.5M let's see.

Glitter + Charmbracelet = the powah of the Miracle babies

Complete Best From Japan With Lurve will get a lot of boost from Celine announcing that she's taking another hiatus or maybe not coming back at all.

[dj4celine]

Well, only the "lambs" bought those albums with a few exceptions (I still love Charmbracelet and Glitter (the album) )

#1 single, multiple episodes of American Idol, Oprah, front page photos of her wedding....Weird that Carrie Underwood out-debuted this album w/o doing anything.

[Céline's Blues]

So sad to see some Céline's fans hating on Mariah's talent and undeniable success. Céline = FLOP, TCH =flop, the GH released this fall = BIGGEST FLOP OF HER CAREER! WATCH OUT!

 

Mariah = always success. Always.

Going by the sales of their studio albums that came out in this decade (4 each), E=MC2 needs to sell something like 8M copies worldwide to catch up w/ Celine.

 

Cheers to the powah of the Miracle babies!!!!

[Your_Su_Phu]

her career is not dead. stop exaggerating.

[Ray]

I would never listen to this album if someone paid me a million pounds.

 

Well, you are at least interested, as you reply here.

 

 

Mariah announced that I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time will be the official 3rd single off E=MC2.

 

So what happened to the "smash singles" SIL and ITC?

 

I think Stay In Love and I'm That Chick will probably still be future single. Just as Migrate will also probably be a next single. There are just so many great songs on this album. Mariah said she wanted to release an album filled with singles and that's what E=MC² is. There are maybe only two or three songs which are not commercial enough to make it as a single.

 

Loving u long time is a great song to be played on radio all summer long in my opinion! It's also a song that will be embrassed by non-Mariah fans. No high notes, no rapper. Very strong hook.

 

My favorite at the moment is "For the record".

Omg Mariah is starting tour

 

Mariah Carey will make a Fantasy come true for her Irish fans with two huge concerts

at the new Point.

 

The 38-year-old has signed a deal to perform at the Dublin venue as part of a massive tour which will kick off next March. The Hero star will stage two shows at the revamped concert hall and belt out a collection of her biggest hits.

 

A source close to the singer said: "Mariah is desperate to play in Ireland and she can't wait for the live shows. She is very proud of the fact her mum has Ireland roots and she always feels a strong identity with the place. It will be like a homecoming concert for her. She just can't wait to make it happen."

 

An all-star line-up of big names has already been booked for the Point which opens in February. Acts include Sir Paul McCartney, Britney Spears and Tina Turner.

 

Mariah has made a massive comeback with her last album The Emancipation Of Mimi topping the charts around the world. Her tour will also include gigs in London, New York, Cape Town and Sydney.

 

The source added: "Mariah is a massive world-wide star and her album sales in Ireland have been huge. We're in no doubt that the tickets will sell out extremely fast and there will be a massive demand from her fans."

 

"She also wants to spend a few days in Ireland researching her ancestry and having a look around Dublin. This will be her biggest ever tour and she wants to break all the box office records."

 

"By the end of it she will have performed more than 70 dates in some of the biggest venues on the planet."

Do you think she still has the voice can do a real tour? Hope she's not killing her own voice even worse.

Just 4 studio albums for Celine? Thant's a terrible understatement I think.

[Black Kitten]

saying that TEOM topped the charts around the world is just simply untrue. TEOM topped the american charts "only".

 

about the tour, she actually improved a lot, compared to her previous tours, though her voice keeps on getting worse.

[Your_Su_Phu]

ok enough mariah positivity from me after reading that article cos "she wants to break all box office records" ? BAH! with only 70 shows? unless she's planning to charge mucho mucho

 

this is the year of taking chances tour, back of b****!!!!!
