Welcome to ATRL Bill!
I wanted to ask you why you think Mariah Carey's #Beautiful underperformed despite its stellar start? Is it because of ageism? Most artists past 40 these days are struggling to get a hit. #Beautiful was a beautiful, breezy, summery song and I can say that most of us were shocked with how it fizzled out quickly like that on the radio but staying stable on streaming and downloads for awhile after.
And, most of us do know that you don't exactly LOVE Mariah's music but is there something you can tell about the upcoming album? Do you know when the album is probably getting released? What about the second single, is it any good? When will it come? What do you think of the music (if you've heard some of them)? Do you think it has a chance of bringing quality music back to the music industry or can we expect it to flop & fade into obscurity? Personally, I believe that she should've kept the original release date of 7/22. I think the album could've succeeded more that way but I'm all for the new release date if the album brings good quality music.
