The Mariah Carey Thread

I heard the album today. It's pretty good, nowhere near as good as TEOM though. Does anyone know where I could get scans/promos of that alum and E=MC2?

true, each mariah album has sold several millions. but she was losing steam fast before EOM turned it around. her drops in sales are way bigger than just the general decrease in album sales in the industry.

butterfly sold only half of what the previous studio album sold, there was a notable drop in sales from butterfly to rainbow (especially on worldwide sales). and her career hit a low point on charmbracelet (didn't even chart in the top ten other than in Japan & US) which only sold like a 1/4 what the previous studio album sold. I'm leaving out glitter lol

I love her and her constant use of the phrase "pink yet lavender."

True, but I think the biggest drop was from Rainbow to Glitter. Her popularity took such a nosedive. But E=MC2 should pass Glitter's total sales sometime soon I'm guessing by the end of next month!

I'm def digging E=MC2 over TEOM any given day

I LOVE migrate is so damn catchy
its been stuck in my head for days now

Looks like we were wrong, MC sold 182k this week, not 176k :

Despite a 61% decline in sales, Mariah Carey's Island Def Jam set "E=MC2" remains atop The Billboard 200 for a second straight week. The album, the diva's sixth No. 1, moved 182,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. British singer Leona Lewis' "Spirit" (Syco/J) follows suit, staying put at No. 2 in its second week with 96,000 and a 1% sales increase.

MC will be on the View soon!:

Mariah will be joining the ladies of The View on Monday, May 5 and the official Mariah Carey fan club, Honey B. Fly is giving one lucky member and a guest a chance to attend the show.

Now I'm reading that Mariah got married to Nick Cannon and that a family member of his has confirmed it. I really thought she'd have a big princess-y wedding if she ever married again, not a surprise wedding in the Bahamas.

I dunno, I read that it's a publicity stunt for her new song which features Nick in the video as her lover.

ummmm i havn't been up to date in this thread and cant really be bothered checking through 14 pages
soo...
yeaaa
ummm
she got married last week or a few days ago to this person who was 11 years younger than her =\
crazy...
it....was a marriage in secret
here is the news report:

"Mariah Carey reportedly married Nick Cannon - an actor and rapper 11 years her junior - in the Bahamas this week after a whirlwind romance.

The New York Post says the pair wed in a secret ceremony attended by family and friends at Carey's house on the island of Eleuthera. The report cited a source close to Carey.

Latina.com, the website for Latina magazine, cited a source close to Cannon as saying the nuptials took place on Wednesday.

In Touch Weekly said Cannon designed a $US2.5 million ($2.6 million) ring for his new bride.

The reports could not be immediately confirmed.

Representatives for Carey and Cannon did not return emails or phone calls for comment.

I won't believe the marriage until I hear more from an official source. They're also reporting she didn't have a pre-nup and she is too smart for that. Plus, Mark Sudack has been her man for a while now...they just adopted a dog together not that long ago.

In a recent interview she spoke about one of her label/management team buying her a new ring for the success of the album.

I have a feeling this might be something to do with that Ashton Kutcher show where celebs trick the paparazzi. Or just has to do with the video they're working on for "Love Story."

Besides, it's just trashy places reporting it...Perez, E! News, the New York Post, etc.

[che0173]

no not really, its not trashy places reporting it...
its ummm......one of the biggest companies in australia
bigpond's home page...
they provide like...home fone, mobiles, internet etc xD
i doubt they'd be making up random rumours

[ian lim]

I wont believe anything about the marriage until Mariah Carey herself confirm it or an official statement comes from her record company. Maybe it is just a gimmick to promote her bye bye single as nick is featured in the video. Right?

Migrate's not even a single though. It's pretty impressive for an album cut to do that well.

[marekcarey]

dissapointing video...

[voltron]

This week's sales will likely be around 87,068, and E=MC2 will come it at #2.

I dont like the concept of the bye bye video. But, i did like Mariah wearing that small white shirt with that jean skirt. She looks so sincere and serious. But i hate the part when she was writing something and "pretend" to cry?? We watched already before during the Mariah's Theme cant take that away video.
