It’s weird they have it counted that way. Doesn’t make sense. The value of a single shouldn’t be the same as an album. The funny thing is they treat genres differently. Like, I noticed the “Latin” certifications are valued much lower. Latin certification levels are much lower than the general ones since their general sales are much lower. Gold is 30,000 and Platinum is 60,000 (used to be 50,000 and 100,000) instead of 500,000 and 1,000,000. Anyway that stat that was shared was from a Mariah fan account, no? Fans come up with all sort of random stats/rankings/etc. It’s real though. They combined the albums plus singles and she ranks 5th. Katy just passed her with new certs. Like you mentioned, it’s still super impressive Mariah is up on the list though.

I know it's based on real certs; my point is it isn't a stat the RIAA seems to be keeping up with. As I said before, fans can use real data to come up with any random stats/rankings they want.

I think neither side is incorrect in what they are saying but what is being missed here is being WOKE publicly doesn't mean one cant be woke privately and with friends and people they know. For all yall know Mariah could have been speaking to her people about what she now shares on social media I didn't talk about politics on Pulse till Donald Trump, however I always watched and kept up since 2001. I debated people I know but I didn't discuss on Pulse or with strangers . That doesn't mean I was less woke or less aware. The right word choice is I'm glad she is more outspoken which is a fact but saying she is more woke isn't correct This, exactly! Coco spot on as usual!

I'm talking about the one right above that, where she says she doesn't want to offend anyone, that she's just an entertainer, that she's not a political analyst, that talking about politics is her going into a tangent, that of course she has her opinions but it's difficult for her to express them. That video. I'm not really seeing what you're seeing in that one either. Based on the comments she made, she said she was a fan of Hillary and wanted to abstain (laughing) when asked about Trump.. which coming from Mariah, you know exactly what that means. As far as I can recall, she's never directly commented on Trump.. she spoke out against specific policies he championed or in support of candidates who ran against him. Mariah is not someone who tends to focus on and dwell on the negative anyway. Mariah's "woke" comments have been on social media, her making the comments when she wants on her own terms about issues she wants to talk about vs. these videos which are interviewers putting Mariah on the spot to answer a political question (and Mariah's been in the game long enough to know that they're trying to get something edgy out of her so they can use it as a headline). She said she's an entertainer, not a political analyst. I don't see the way she speaks about issues now as being incongruent with what she said in that video. Totally agreed. I didn’t comment on the videos posted because what is there to say that isn’t obvious? She made it perfectly clear to me what her thoughts are without saying anything is the perfect way that she always does - with pure class. Also she makes it very clear what her thoughts are re: women’s rights in that video. I’m not seeing how she didn’t. If anything Mariah seemed annoyed that she had to talk about garbage that doesn’t affect her in the middle of a promotional tour. I’d be annoyed to. She quickly addressed it, quickly said her peace and wanted to move on. Kudos to her. I do get the point being made, I really do, but to say that Mariah hasn’t been involved in discussions or conversations about things like this in the past just isn’t true. What also should be noted is that she is older now, and the older you get the less of a fuck you give lol

The sexism runs deep. A woman flying someone on a commercial scheduled flight (which would be making that flight regardless) is deemed worse than a man flying his own personal jet whenever and wherever he wants. Sure, 2009.

The People’s Queen. He wanted a pic with MC. She’s so sweet. I’m sure she helped him out.

Here are some partial clips. I notice a big change in her speaking voice even. Come on vocals!

I love 'Lead The Way' but I played it in front of my partner and he went "well she really does like to go on, doesn't she?"
Yes, she do. Who else can?

This is so exciting! Shame I missed this moment, though - these clips seem to suggest such a nice and chill vibe, and I feel so happy for the fans who got the chance to interact with her!

Was there literally not a bts photo of a set in her house where someone said they were filming a new remix for "Obsessed" like she did for "We Belong Together"? Could have sworn I saw something like that in this thread a while back.

Here it is unless it was a joke, but it didn't read that way: Her stay-at-home makeup artist Ana posted this on IG last night: Filming "Obsessed (Mimi's Late Night Easter Mix)" for the lambily!

I was being snarky there lmao. She was NOT doing an "Obsessed" Easter (!!!) mix. 😂 On that note, Kris posted the other day he would be working on something all night and he was at Mariah's. Based on that and what she was not allowed to say on the #LamiblyLounge, I'm thinking she's shooting something more than a one-song performance. That's only a hunch though.
