And yeah, congrats to Mariah on the sales. I know I bought my copy. She'll obviously get number one this week. Bye Bye's really growing on me too. The entire album is just one big grower. |
His name is Trey Lorenz and he's been with her since the very beginning of her career in 1990. You guys might remember him from the "I'll Be There" live performance on MTV Unplugged which became a single.
I think Mariah stuff in general seems to really grow on people. That's probably why this album might have the largest first-week sales of her career. She's always had huge-selling albums, but they never had very big first weeks because they were growers. Most of her stuff is like that for me too, seems okay at first and after a few weeks I am in love. I remember the underwhelmed feelings that I (and the world) had for TMB, but now it's such a huge hit and I love it too.
