A lot of people seem to be very confident she is going to outsell her last album or even her last two albums. There have been some big Christmas releases in the past few years but it seems like most of those albums were released by artists who were selling very well with regular albums too. How often is it that an artist has a Christmas album come out and sell much better than their regular albums? That seems like more the exception than the rule Ok,I'll do this for you, Bojangles, and the rest. Mariah's going to flop how about that. It'll be the lowest selling Christmas album ever. It'll be lower than the Chipmunk's Christmas opus how about that? She should just pack it up, and keep trying to get pregnant. Just leave it all behind. I mean why not when we have Katy Perry and Rhianna. Who get played on radio non stop, but can't sell an album to save their lives. Well that was dramatic

I'm actually beginning to feel more confident about this album musically. I thought it was the worst idea in the world six months ago but now I'm looking forward to it, even if I'm still not entirely certain it'll even come out. Ok,I'll do this for you, Bojangles, and the rest. Mariah's going to flop how about that. It'll be the lowest selling Christmas album ever. It'll be lower than the Chipmunk's Christmas opus how about that? She should just pack it up, and keep trying to get pregnant. Just leave it all behind. I mean why not when we have Katy Perry and Rhianna. Who get played on radio non stop, but can't sell an album to save their lives. It always baffles me when people flip out like this. Nobody's saying the album's going to be the lowest selling ever. Just because we're saying it's not going to be huge or outsell E=MC² doesn't mean we want her to quit music forever. Do you really think that's what we mean? Really? This thread has gone a long time without arguments and with just level-headed fans as regulars. Even though we don't all always agree, the discussions about this album and it's potential have been mature and well rounded. There's no need for your drama in here. Grow up. That was in reference to the VH1 video with him as a talking head.

I'm certainly looking forward to hearing the album. If she can pen another "All I Want For Christmas Is You" or "Where Are You Christmas?" I'll be in heaven (no joke when I say they are two of my top four favorite Christmas songs ever). "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home" (Mariah's version) is another classic. <3

I wish she'd continue on the path she started with "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" and remake THIS SONG:

Haha. Great song. I do hope she does something different with her new mix of "All I Want for Christmas is You." I hope she turns it into an acoustic ballad, I think that'd be pretty cool. The song wouldn't have to be adjusted too much to do that. I just hope she doesn't do a dance remix or something like that.

I'm really hoping we get at least one big camp dance remix out of this project. I'm thinking Freemasons rather than David Guetta.

Ok,I'll do this for you, Bojangles, and the rest. Mariah's going to flop how about that. It'll be the lowest selling Christmas album ever. It'll be lower than the Chipmunk's Christmas opus how about that? She should just pack it up, and keep trying to get pregnant. Just leave it all behind. I mean why not when we have Katy Perry and Rhianna. Who get played on radio non stop, but can't sell an album to save their lives. Well that was dramatic Drama queen indeed. I know I did not say her album would flop. Another poster said they don't think Susan Boyle's album will be competition for her on the charts and that her time has come and gone, and I simply stated I disagreed with that. Susan's album will most definately be competition and will definately sell. Those old people will go out in droves to buy it.

For what it's worth, it does seem as if Mariah is thinking "outside the box" so to speak, on this one. She's working with a broadway producer, for one. I think there may still be a few bits of information to come regarding this project...and to whomever said they doubt it'll even come out....well....why would they bother announcing it then?

That was me. I haven't been following the whole thing as closely as I would a normal Mariah studio album, but it seems to me there's a lack of concrete information for something that would need to be in stores next month.

OH GOD I want it to be around T'giving already so I can start to blare Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) and AIWFCIY on repeat! Such classics which NEVER seem to burn on me, probz because I only listen to them for about a month and ahalf each year.
Also, she MUST cover that Darlene Love song!!! It is just EXACTLY what she can hit out of the ballpark.

They're releasing it in early November. Mariah has been quoted talking about Marc Shaiman and their collaborations. Her manager has discussed how they're going to market it via the Home Shopping Network, we have song titles for some songs and know a new mix of AIWFCIY on the way. How much more news do you need? haha. It's not like they're going to release a Christmas single in September.

I thought I read somewhere that the remix of AIWFCIY was going to be that awful 'Mariah's New Dance Mix' version released in 2009...? I could be wrong though...

It does'nt matter when Jessica's album came out it's still a christmas album, which u said don't do well, which is simply not true. Most christmas albums start to rechart during the holiday season, and others do quite well. Susan has nothing to do with Mariah. Mariah is a huge star and will hold her own. So that has no merit. I can't stand when people act like it's just room for one person. We are talking about Mariah here. Alot of people will be still selling well with Susan. Just like the original AIWFCIY, if the song is amazing people will support it period. You have to readjust your view of Mariah in the current state of the industry. She's such a huge star who barely cracked 500k with a new studio album, a top 10 hit 1st single and loads of promotion. The problem isn't about there being room for just one person, but room for Mariah at all at this point. Yes the singles and promo were mishandled, after Obsessed' it was all over the place, there were remixes on the album that should have replaces regular songs, and there should have been other single choices besides the ones that were released, well one of them anyway. Theres always room for Mariah she's a superstar. Every album does'nt do what the previous one has.

guys sorry i'm saying that but i think that Taylor Swift will spant all season time at No-1 at Billboard Top 200 albums chart. Think that in a month Mine will work along with her second single and also let me remind you what happened with Fearless ... I hope Mariah 's album peak at No 2 selling 1,5-2 mil i'll be satisfied

Jennifer Lopez is now official for American Idol so that would basically rule Mariah out. Good. It might be a step up for Jennifer but it would be a step down for Mariah

It might be a step up for Jennifer but it would be a step down for Mariah As a longtime Mariah fan, I was excited when it was said (by Nick...I think) that she wanted the spot. Then reality set in. Mariah being in AI would diminsh her recording career. Yeah, her sales are not what they once were, but c'mon..180 million plus in album sales. She's in a two-woman category (Madonna being the other). Let JLO have AI. Mariah still has hundreds of songs to write, produce and record.
