The TRUE first single was Triumphant and of course the song deserves to flop tragically like it did. Then she went on AI and had a great platform to launch #Beautiful and that didn't go nowhere either. The song's performance was very mediocre (despite HUGE radio payola deal and AI's exposure) and didn't gather enough buzz for the album so it was pushed back. When the next 2 singles didn't do anything, they decided to just put the album out because the label knew it was destined to flop anyway. That's the story. I can't at you trying to spin this into some kind of terrible management when the truth is it's because of her irrelevance, terrible music, terrible music videos, terrible performances |
... yeah which is why Me.I Am Mariah is ranked among the best (R&B) albums of 2014 on several critics lists...The music isn't even the issue with Mariah Carey, it's the lack of professionalism and specifically with MIAM the lack of a rollout plan for the album. Triumphant is a song which was 2 years old when the album dropped and wasn't even on the album, nor did anyone know anyth about the album in 2012. by that logic I know what you want with Busta Rhymes was TEOM's lead single too?
The audacity of Madonna fans to think that huge sales = quality... that's a very sad outlook on music. My only issue is with the article we are supposed to discuss in this thread - which takes a Madonna album and compares it to a Mariah Carey album is its conclusion that Madonna is still at her A-game while Mariah is irrelevant? That is quite reaching in the sense that I would expect a non-expert to have such an opinion, someone who has no idea what is needed to get a hit-era.. i mean a nonpromoted mess, although great music, an era where the artist is nowhere to be seen is hardly a measure to hold RH against, or is it? I mean if Madonna fans get a kick out of that, then the bitterness goes even deeper than i thought.
It's so sad that people cannot enjoy a Madonna album these days without looking left and right for her contemporaries.
And it's not even the lambs or anyone is blinded by their bias, RH will sell twice in its first week than what Mariah's album sold in its lifetime so far. There are reasons for that, especially when we hold Mariah's own catalogue against it: Merry Christmas has sold almost just as much in 2014 worldwide than her new studio album.
Kii at Gaga having spikes during the time Madonna is promoting. Kii at Madonna hardly being higher than her at the end despite all the promo she's doing. You didn't think this through. 
Madonna fans being like, "the audacity and delusion to question Madonna's success" all while questioning and shading Mariah's massive success. Not to mention comparing the two makes no sense. Mariah isn't a popstar so of course she isn't going to sell as much as a popstar in the long run. Logic. The fact that Mariah has sold what she has sold without pop music and gimmicks is amazing!
