Has it passed 4 million sold yet?

4.2 million.

Congrats Mariah !

I predict that if she is to win multiple Grammys in February, she'll end up at 7x Platinum or more by mid-2006.

That's amazing!!

Wow that's a lot! Congrats Mimi.

Well she can still release "One and Only" or I'll slaughter her

That can push this album to 6 million since after all, it IS a #1 hit

Mariah's hasn't won a grammy since 1991, and I doubt she'll get one (or several for that matter) anytime soon. But then again, you never know! :P

Congrats. You have to give credit where credit is due.

Thats the same thing some people say days before the nom were out, some say grammys will not nominate her and look now

I predict she will have to win at least 3 grammys

Yes, but Mariah should have gotten lots of grammys throughout her career and never got any. She would absolutely deserve atleast one grammy for TEOM, but atleast I wouldn't be surprised if she yet again doesn't get any.

wow, well done mariah. thats great. i guess it was worth re-releasing EOM again!

i thought the rerelease of EOM had a DVD of the first 3 singles. Mine didnt have one. Oh well... yay for the noms!

Then you bought the wrong one....

You were supose to buy the "Ultra Platinum Deluxe Edition w/ DVD", not the DVD-less "Ultra Platinum Edition". It features 4 videos, "It's Like That","We Belong Together","Shake It Off'', and "Get Your Number". Plus a DVD Key to access the "Don't Forget About US" video and a never-before seen interview "Mariah Carey: In Her Own Words."

The Morales Say Something Remix was leaked yesterday, so it may is the next single.
I Predicted for her, 3,8-4,2 millions for this album in USA when the album was released.

That leaked in the summer. 102.7 here in NYC plays it on occasion. David Morales remixed it back in December when "Say Somethin" was planned as the first single off TEOM, but of course "It's Like That" was released in it's place.

Mine Again, Get Your Number, and Circles should all be released as singles in the US.

7 Singles isn't that crazy when you look at these sales.

yay mc♥

I hope she releases another single. I'm so proud of her tho, she's done amazing things with this album a lot of people thought couldn't be done!
