Mariah Carey - 24 years into her career with a PLATINUM Single (#Beautiful)

[UNNAMI]

also, I will be saying over and over - Celine Dion selling more despite not being big in America, ofc she's big but she has better markets for her albums and still, she was selling more. America is the biggest ale let's be honest, the only market for Mariah

[Jet]

I'm not surprised

[PoisonPill]

This is just sad. Time for Mariah to hang it up. She has failed to progress as an artist since the late '90s. I know she's Obsessed with maintaining her "integrity" and not caving to trends, but plenty of artists have preserved their core artistry while progressing and developing their sound. With her voice, she could have aged gracefully and had a career like Barbra or Celine and still get platinum albums. But she decided to keep prancing around in lingerie, singing about how hot she is, desperately trying to be one of the girls like Rihanna and Beyonce.

Celine's last album sold like 100k 1st week just in Canada and it opened big in France too.

Mariah is not gonna even cross 90k WORLDWIDE.

Half of that came from ticket bundling and let's not forget she just came off the Superbowl. Madonnas promo was insane.

Gurl please. MDNA sold like 740k 1st week worldwide even though the lead single underperformed by Madonna standards. The ticket thing was only in the US and it wasn't even 15% of the total 1st week US sales. Plus, her tickets are super expensive so it's not like you could get the album with a 50 buck ticket. It cost a lot of money.

The superbowl means nothing outside of the US. She did no promo apart from that and it was like 2 months before the album release.

Plus, she is 56 years old. Not 44-45 like Mariah.

Albums sales suck right now. Doesn't take away everything she has accomplished.

Bingo. Mariah still slays all of our faves so y'all can continue to drag her, but it doesn't take away from the fact that she's still not doing half bad for being 23 years into her career.

[Walk_Away21]

I can't believe this

I hate how people are so quick to jump on hate bandwagons. I really like the album. I mean I can't believe each album has sold and now less than 1/10th of those people are buying her new album. It's insane. I mean just nine years ago this happened.

This. 750k worldwide with one underperforming single (still went top 10 though and was #1 on iTunes for like 2 hours, which is more than I thought she'd be) and Mariah can't sell 100k worldwide? She needs a new strategy.

[BreatheGaga]

Her attitude suck so she doesnt deserve anything else tbh.

[Jeiboy]

Memoirs = Glitter
MIAMTEC = Charmbracelet

HER NEW ALBUM in NEW LABEL = Emancipation

I aint worried. Its just the cycle of Mariah taking into effect

[LadyDiana]

This. I can't @ people are still stanning for numbers and charts
I just love the music, not the bling

[RidersDX]

It's a shame, it's a great album. She's loaded with money anyway so I'm sure she'll continue to put out music.
