I'm 99% sure I'll be going to the Lovers and Friends festival. I need to see Mimi. I've been waiting for a residency announcement but this is the next best thing.

Quick Team Mariah throw Its A wrap into a big movie or Netflix show to in 15 years get a recurring hit!! I'm joking here you know the bleak pulse girls wait on bated breath waiting to catch me slip so they can "check" dont check for me. Check for your mama! (Or the man you don't have)
The queen of back catalog 😏😏

Here's what I need to happen: Mariah and label (which label though?) release It's A Wrap to all formats. It becomes a hit and another #1 for her. Then her number 1's journey -tying her for #1 all time- starts with a "Vision" and ends with "It's A Wrap". It couldn't be written better. Let's get her on a feature to get a 21st number 1 at some point, just for icing on the cake.

Man do I wish MIAM and Caution were close to Gold. They certainly deserve it especially Caution I can listen to that album all the way through and enjoy that ear candy.

Man do I wish MIAM and Caution were close to Gold. They certainly deserve it especially Caution I can listen to that album all the way through and enjoy that ear candy. MIAM might be close to Gold. It has at least 150k in physical sales. "#Beautiful" is over 2x platinum; I don't know the technical breakdown of how that translates into album sales, but I think it's at least 200k. It would be nice to see Mariah get to 80 million in RIAA album certs, which would take 6 million more. Here's what I think is likely next: E=MC2 - This should be eligible for 2x platinum, so it's a matter of Universal certifying it. (75 million total) MCIIY - I'd think this should be 1x platinum any day now. (75.5 million total) Merry Christmas - This is likely already 9x platinum and will hopefully be Diamond around its 30th anniversary. (77.5 million total) Rainbow - This has to be close to 4x platinum. A viral moment for "Heartbreaker" would help. (78.5 million) Mariah Carey - With a little bit of work, surely this could finally be Diamond! (79.5 million) MIAM - This should be crawling toward Gold. (80 million) Some special vinyl releases for all of her albums are a no brainer to me. Meanwhile "It's A Wrap" cleared 100k Spotify streams yesterday and was among her 10 most streamed songs:

I can't imagine Mariah doing background for...Zara Larsson and that's not even a knock on Zara. From what I recall, she can actually sing.
As for Lovers and Friends, I totally forgot to get tickets and it sold out when I checked. I wasn't expecting the demand to be that high, even with the lineup, based on what I heard from last year. I'm still keeping my eye out for reasonable resale, but between Coachella, Janet, and Madonna, I definitely have my hands full with big shows.

I looove 'It's A Wrap' and I'm happy it's getting its moment, but 100K is a long way off from going viral. Even if it was doing 10x this amount it might still not be charting :/.

Interesting news on the MTV Unplugged re-classification. Does anyone know how or why that came about? Is that the label pushing for it? Or just an RIAA thing? And I assume that means it added 2 million to her overall albums total?

I'm not the biggest fan of MOAIA, but between "Obsessed" (always loved it) killing it on streaming and now "It's a Wrap" pulling in good numbers, I have to admit it's had pretty good staying power (plus "Angels Cry" having loads of Youtube views). Could it even pass E=MC2 with sales + streaming? Either way, I'm glad it's another of her 2000s songs that's getting recognition.

Could it even pass E=MC2 with sales + streaming? Either way, I'm glad it's another of her 2000s songs that's getting recognition. "I Want to Know What Love Is" gets great YouTube streams as well (it will pass 200 million views pretty soon). So, yeah, somewhat randomly the album has endured well. In terms of passing E=MC2, though, it has a lot to make up in physical sales. E=MC2 has double the physical sales (at least) of Memoirs. In the U.S. it would take like 1 billion streams to make up that difference. The streams for "It's a Wrap" aren't U.S. based it seems, nor are the streams for "IWTKWLI," so maybe worldwide Memoirs can catch up, but not in the U.S. (If Universal keeps willing to certify Mariah's stuff as they have been, E=MC2 will get certified 2x platinum whenever they get to it.) It's not necessarily the kind of song that goes viral, but I'd love for "HATEU" to get a moment. I think it's easily one of her best post-Sony ballads. Anyway I agree with this user that Memoirs is full of potential: I just hope this kind of stuff encourages Mariah to get more creative with her set lists if she tours again.

The vocal dynamics, the transitions, the tone…
There has never been a singer like Mariah before her and still none after. One of a kind artist. NO ONE sounds like her.

It has also been gaining on YouTube:
It rises to #10 for her on YouTube USA with 160k views. Considering its global views were 276k, that means the majority of its views are actually coming from the U.S.
Meanwhile "AIWFCIY" is still #2 for her on YouTube USA with 463k views for the past week. It really is just a normal popular song at this point.
Lastly, the AI vocals thing has started with Mariah as well:
I'm ready for CB full vocals (AI edition)!

That AI sounds like an unrested Mariah - dry and hoarse. The GOAT herself would never even put down vocals like that in the studio let alone let them see the light of day.

Thank god Amazon still had copies! The Tokyo Dome is easily her best concert. I wish it was still on YouTube.

NOT OVER 200k!
It is now Mariah's 4th most streamed song behind WBT, Fantasy and Obsessed.
