She looks hot 🥵, that brow lift or facelift she got a couple years ago is still distracting for me

I hope she's been secretly recording because I want a new studio album in 2023.

Another beauty peak I’m afraid. I love that for her. Yeah, I agree. I wasn't as keen on her look earlier this year, but I noticed a big difference in her apperance starting with Global Citizens. Since then, she's been topping herself, so this is definitely an Idol/Caution-level beauty peak, which I'm here for! On a different note, it's nice to see her mingling with other celebrities. That's a nice change from around the Memoirs-Stella eras, where she seemed a bit more reclusive.

lol who? Caution is a great album though Scream. X. Jane the Virgin on CW. Wednesday obviously. She’s from Disney originally but I don’t remember the show off the top of my head. She’s great. I love her.

Goes to No. 2 on the Hot 100 this week, with Taylor in front of her. The predictions that Brenda might eclipse her this week proved incorrect, at least this week. She was at No. 3.
Their stats: AIWFCIY: 30.3 million streams 29.8 million airplay 5,000 sales
RATCT: 29.9 million streams 26.2 million airplay 4,000 sales
Someone who's more well-versed than me ... what does one million in airplay equal in terms of streaming numbers? 1,000 in sales?

Billboard changed their formula about a month ago and the chart formula wizards haven't been able to pin down precisely what it is yet. I haven't been keeping up with their attempted guesses so far, though. Under the last formula that I have saved in one of my notes apps, 1 million AI was about the same as 833 sales, 208,333 paid streams, 312,500 free streams, or 416,667 programmed streams; that would put slightly over 10 points' distance between AIWFCIY and RATCT (but it also wouldn't have been a race for #1 at all under that formula, as Anti-Hero would have had a clear 30 points on AIWFCIY). For the chart predictors to think this week was close, either the new formula decreased radio's weight or increased the weight for one or more streaming tiers - either way, 1 million in airplay is 'worth' less than it used to be. That said, most of the chart predictors on Twitter also keep offering the caveat that they have a larger margin of error in the holiday season bc of the Christmas songs. I think they struggle with gauging programmed streams, which aren't normally as much of a factor during the rest of the year but spike heavily when people are asking Alexa to play some holiday songs.

Mariah sounded rough and hoarse during her performance last night but after 30 years,15 albums and 19 #1 hits don't matter to me I expect her to alternate from good days to bad days . In her mid 50s I no longer expect greatness. She is great regardless.

Random, but on the note of that Facetune photo edit:
I am interested in watching (particularly as such a high-profile figure), how Mariah handles the internet's paridagm shift for beauty currently happening (natural, less editing, stripped, raw, embracing personal imperfections etc) given she struggles with aging and strikes me as one who is meticulous about her image. Personally I hope she embraces it. The woman is stunning and I hate she feels the need she has to even edit that photo when her body is undeniably gorgeous as is, but understand with all she has been through and under the immense microscope of judgment she has lived under for decades why she would.
And honestly shame on Facetune for quoting that photo. That feels genuinely disrespectful. The whole point of editing a photo is because you have insecurity about something you don't want to showcase to the world, let alone want the world knowing you're insecure to begin with. Factune just highlighted both blatantly. They knew the criticism and judgement that would draw to her. Promote your brand. Respect your users and give them the respect, or at least the feeling/illusion of anonymity of use.

Thank you for this. The various chart predicting Twitter accounts have Mariah increasing her lead over Brenda and comfortably landing at No. 1 next week. I wonder where the increase is coming from?

#JusticeForCharmie is here!!!! I would greatly appreciate feedback from the Lambily on this episode and the podcast in general. In the intro to this episode, I talk about how Mariah is the primary inspiration behind wanting to launch this show. Episode 11 - Through The Rain

Personally, Charmbracelet will always have the utmost special place in my heart amongst her discography as it was the era that brought me from fan to lamb and looking back now it makes perfect sense to me why. I remember just turning 14, feeling like an outcast and closely following her highly-publicized "breakdown" (which we now know was just exhaustion, but I digress), effectively struggling alongside her. I remember watching her perform "Through The Rain" on several shows, hearing her testimony of survival in interviews, seeing/hearing/feeling myself in her music and story, and really rallying behind her and rooting for her "comeback" so hard. I even randomly remember seeing a media clip about Charmbracelet opening with bigger debut numbers than her last album at the time and being so happy (was only a taste of what was to come for MiMi). Everything about that era is so nostalgic for me. Not to mention: - Her various hour specials that album cycle were some of my all-time favorites - Her touring vocals were some of my all-time favorites - The cycle housed some of my all-time favorite looks of hers It may not be her best album, but it is solid and has earned its place in her legacy. Some of my favs are "Through The Rain", "The One", "Yours", "My Saving Grace", and "Bringing On The Heartbreak". I think it’s just an assumption she used facetune! There is video of this moment… The photo shows warping, so it has been edited, but that's not the main point anyway.

I hope she has her vocals together for these televised moments. Or at least tapped Bey or Celine for tips on how to convincingly lip sync.
