I hate the commercial that they play on the radio for this; it's such a tease. I'm always thinking that they are about to play YDKWTD in full than the album promo kicks in.

MIAM truely remains my first to third fave MC album, tying Butterfly and Emotions. Nothing else comes close. Even 1 month later I'm obsessed. FYI 1 month isn't that long Also are you from Spain?

Wait...there's promo? Wot. It plays a shortened intro to YDKWTD and as the song kicks in they start promoting the album while the instrumental plays in the background.

Any word on promo for that "Butterfly" inspired drink. I thought there was going to be a multimillion ad campaign behind it.

I don't know if it was going to be "multimillion," but there are supposed to be ads. It's been on sale for few weeks or so at Duane Reed and Walgreens stores, I think?

it's so sad that nobody promotes this album, not her label nor Mariah herself. This album is perfect and it will always remain in my heart as the album which saved me in 2014.

I've heard some commercials on the radio here in NYC for her new album in which they play You Don't Know What To Do for about a minute so that's nice. In the commercial they call YDKWTD the new single. It's about time there was some promotion for this album. I'm so disappointed in Mariah for not promoting this album. She really let her fans down. The album is just okay in my opinion. It's no TEOM, Daydream, etc. It's a big let down.

Didn't either JD or Mariah hint there was a big plan in place for the album? I'm not getting my hopes up at this point, but it would be nice if JD and Mariah surprised us in a good way.

according to metacritic, this album is her most critically acclaimed album EVER (since the birth of metacritc of course)

That's a fitting title for her best album EVER.

Metacritic has collected only 14 reviews thus far, so it's not a big sampling (same goes for some of her other albums there). I'd be surprised if it fared as well as Emancipation in year-end lists- but, if critics don't pay much mind to the album's poor commercial performance, maybe it could.

The album drops 46-70 on the Billboard 200 in its fifth week.

I'd be surprised if it fared as well as Emancipation in year-end lists- but, if critics don't pay much mind to the album's poor commercial performance, maybe it could. It's funny because TEOM didn't get as good of reviews initially, but sources like Rolling Stone changed their tune on it once it was successful. MIAM has been a critical success. I wish more reviews were counted because it would help its score. Reviews from sources like Vibe, Slate, USA Today, and Idolator were strong but are not counted. Technically Memoirs has a higher metacritic score by 1 point. That's funny, too, since a lot of critics said MIAM is an improvement over that album. That kind of crap is why critics shouldn't matter so much to people. Can we talk about how funny Mariah is from 1:25-2:05 in this interview? The talk of her on bumper cars kills me.

I just saw her Macy's 4th of July 'America The Beautiful' from 2013 and she was actually slimmer and looked YOUNGER then the same performance in 2005. It's such a shame that 2013 wasn't her year to shine, everything was lined up perfectly. The only thing that was missing was Mariah...

She was very present in 2013, it's just that she pushed the album release back.

You Don't Know What To Do is the best uptempo track of 2014 so far.

She begins strong and finishes even stronger. I'm to the point with being so in love with it that Wale's verses actually adds to the song's energy for me. I've spent many a nights dancing way too hard to it in my living room.

I've spent many a nights dancing way too hard to it in my living room. I have like 5 versions of it and each one makes me want to get on the dancefloor and let loose. Aside from his vocals in the intro, Wale does give the song that extra oomph.

I hope they still release the YDKWTD and "Meteorite" remixes they commissioned. I need some killer remixes!
Bring me some Kaskade, MK, Dave Aude, John Dahlback and Ralphi please...

I hope the kiddies are bringing her as much joy as these pictures suggest, because it's not looking like a certain someone is.
"Make it Look Good" is seriously threatening to become my favorite from the album.
