If we are doing redos as far as releasing previous unreleased songs: Caution, Giving Me Life, Dedicated, Make It Look Good are looking for their revival and campaigns.

In 2010 or 2011, I was catching a ride from a (gay) classmate. I sang along as he started playing "It's a Wrap." He was surprised that I knew the song.
I'm glad that Mariah Carey has embraced her status as a legacy artist.

I am glad they acted on this. IAW is a gem and there's no reason why it shouldnt be a decent r&b hit. I hope they give it to radio as well.

Mariah should just send past album tracks to UAC and grab some hits and build her clout there until new music hits.

I'm happy to have that edited version without the intro. I like the full version, but that intro does drag a little when listening to song outside the context of the whole album.
ETA: Although wait, that cut at 2:36 is tragic....and the removal of those adlibs at the end. Kids in 2023 don't want personality in their songs, got it 😒

I'm glad that Mariah Carey has embraced her status as a legacy artist. Unlike Madonna, I think she actually likes most of her back catalog and her gripes only come from the production choices she was overruled on during her first four albums.

I've said it before, but whew are we lucky that Mariah understands exactly where she is at this point of her career, embraces it and uses it to her advantage.

Annoying everyone who walked past my dorm 10 years ago while I blasted Its A Wrap and tried hitting those notes in the intro is a core memory that I must relive with each listen.

I’m guessing the EP purchases will hurt IAW’s *long-shot* at reaching H100. I’m pretty sure it’s only the individual track sales that count toward H100. Streaming, of course, is different.
I’m glad MC jumped on this fast. Not my favorite *lost* track, but I’d like to see this at least get spins on UAC.

I hate to say it but I feel like IAW would be a huge smash if originally released today by ponytail.

Tonight I pulled out my vinyl of Memoirs to celebrate this little "It's a Wrap" moment. I always forget how much I love the middle of this record - Ribbon through The Impossible (Reprise) is pure fire.

Congratulations to her 2005 hit "We Belong Together" on making it to the '00-'20 Ultimate Quarterfinals. This was her only entry in the tournament, and despite her strongest victory coming by 6 votes, she has shown her later hits have also stood the test of time.

Not my personal favorite but wait till tik tok gets its hand on "thirsty " I can see that being a platform hit.
I personally always thought Memoirs, Elusive Chanteuse and Caution had their bops!

Her back catalog when matched with her 19 #1s is why my favorite is an artist who actually created music. Yours jumps on a track and hopes for the best.

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised it's still growing. This is exciting, since January and February are typically slow months for us Lambs.

700K is really good! Now let's get to a million a day, please, so we can maybe talk about charting. Does anyone know if it's on Spotify's top 200 globally or in the US?

When the EP tracks are combined, it's the highest streamed non-holiday Mariah song ever in a single day on Spotify. A lot of the other tracks from Memoirs (Obsessed, Up Out My Face, HATEU, etc) had their best day, too. She ultimately had 10 songs with over 100k Spotify streams:
