It really sucks that she doesn’t have anything new out while this good media is on her.

Lmfao reminds me of that time some lamb asked Stella on twitter what's her favorite MC song and her reply was: "the 'just let it die with no goodbyes' one". I cant 💀

The word "icon" is overused and should only be reserved for artists like Mariah. I saw Katie Got Bandz is on the Freaky Girl remix by Nicki Minaj, but where will she be next year or even next month?

If only #1's could get to 6x platinum, she'd have platinum certifications at every number from 1 to 11. Oddly satisfying lol. Out of curiosity, would Butterfly have a better shot at getting to 6x platinum? It has been at 5x platinum for quite a while and could benefit with the 25th anniversary. Even if it stays where it is, it's been a great year for Butterfly, and I think it'll continue to earn even more accolades and importance as the years pass.

The only issue is that only a couple of the tracks count toward it in terms of streaming, so it may be slow going to get there even though it’s close. So, stream tf outta “I Still Believe” lmao! Meanwhile Drew Barrymore is going to lose her sh*t if Mariah ever goes on her show:

Butterfly would need some serious streams to pass it.

It's great Mariah has gotten a lot of certs the past few years as other divas aren't so fortunate, but I don't get the randomness of her certs. For instance, "My All" sold 200k more physical/Soundscan singles than "Honey" and their last digital singles totals were basically even, yet "Honey" got a 2x platinum cert and "My All" did not. "I'll Be There" had a bit more Soundscan sales than "Can't Let Go," but "CLG" still sold over 400k physical singles and with digital sales and streams added in is easily Gold. "IBT" was certified Gold but "CLG" was not. "Obsessed" is very likely 4x platinum, but it wasn't certified the other day while "We Belong Together" and "Touch My Body" were. I'm pretty sure Merry Christmas II You should have been certified platinum like Memoirs.

Maybe the other label is waiting until after Christmas to certify the Merry Christmas II album? So hopefully MC II will be certified platinum sometime next year.
As far as the other certs for the singles, maybe there are some pending undisclosed issues with those singles, and they will take care of them at a later date when everything is straightened out.

^ That's sad. Its reviews are really solid, so I guess mainstream audiences just aren't ready for a gay rom-com. Unfortunately that means another one probably won't get greenlit for awhile.
Meanwhile I looked at the stats I have saved, and here is a listing of songs I think should/could get a new RIAA cert:
"My All" Soundscan sales - 1.484 million Digital sales - 83k as of April 2008 On demand streams - 72.5 million as of mid-2020 (=483,000 in sales) Those figures give a 2.05 million total so it's 2x platinum (and has added sales and streams to that total).
"Can't Let Go Soundscan sales - 423,000 Digital sales - 39k as of April 2008 So that's 462,000 total without including streams and missing 14 years of digital sales (not that it would be a ton, but considering how close that is to Gold even 5k sold makes a difference).
"Obsessed" Digital sales as of early 2014 - 1.764 million On-demand streams as of late 2021 - 301 million (=2.01 million sales) So it needs to have sold 236k downloads over the past 8+ years (and less really since it has added streams in 2022 too) to be 4x platinum.
"I Don't Wanna Cry" Soundscan sales - 261,800 Digital sales - 45k as of April 2008 On demand streams - 19.8 million as of mid-2020 (=132,000 sold) That's equal to 438,800 with 14 years of digital sales and 2 years of streams missing. It might not be Gold, but it's at least pretty close.
"Shake It Off" Digital sales - 829,000 as of early 2014 On demand streams as of mid-2020 - 117 million (=780,000 sold) That's equal to 1.6 million sold, so with the additional sales and streams since those totals it has to be close to if not past 2x platinum.

IDWC might be gold eligible now, and if I remember correctly Shake It Off might already be 2x platinum

Is IDWC the only Mariah #1 song that’s not certified yet?

I don't see how MCII is anywhere near platinum. It barely sold past 500K sales-wise, the singles with more streams (OS, CTIITAA) are tag to MC25 now, Extra Festive is deleted so it is only supported by ALS now streaming-wise

I haven't monitored the sales and streaming for MCII. I was just saying if there was a reason for it and the other singles mentioned not being certified yet there must be some unknown reason that we'll never know.

My nieces aren't familiar with her catalogue, but they know the lyrics to and love listening to AIWFCIY, WBT, Fantasy and ABMB. Those are like the standard songs that most non hardcore fans I know listen to from her. They aren't familiar with most of the other songs from the other 90s divas except for IWALY. Believe it or not, there are many people out there they don't realize Mariah has released several albums since TEOM. :)
