Out of the blue I heard A No No on our small local radio station today. Totally unexpected. It sounded great.

Originally posted by MeltAway View PostLove that song! I think Forever could have hit #1 (or Top 3 at least) had the single been released when airplay was peaking at #9. It was common in the mid-late 90's to serve singles to radio but not stores to push album sales. Forever served that purpose promoting Daydream following its three massive #1's (Fantasy, OSD, and ABMB), but if their huge sales were any indication, Forever would have smashed on the Sales charts and would have debuted high on the Hot 100, if not at #1. It was released a full 14 months before Honey. There was time. I think it was a missed opportunity for another #1...
It did so well on radio that I don't understand why they didn't push it as a single making available for chart on the Hot100, where, as you said, it would have debuted very high.
She has had so many potential #1 hits...
The song is amazing, one of her finest ballads

What was her job? What she did for her?
Not sure what her job was. She seemed to be a friend of one of the main people on the show.

Lookin' at the comments seems like Mariah was a character from the show.
Well, that's what I got.

There was a woman on the show named Mariah that got fired or something so everyone is mad in the comments but the lady is talking about Mariah Carey.

The show looks like a hot mess
---
Fantasy inside US iTunes Top 150 at #144.
It have been steady and climbing.
Amazing how TikTok have "resurrected" so many old songs (not the case with Fantasy yet 'cause it didn't have that much of impact but it did with Obsessed).

Otherwhise, O Holy Night, You & I and With You I'm Born Again would've been on my list definitely.
And also her SOTR/IYOK Medley <3

You can notice how powerful actually her voice really was in the undubbed clips.
In the dubbed (DVD) the sound is way too polished and her voice sounds a bit lighter, but here she sounded like an unstoppable beast:
The sheer power combined with that flexibility, damn.
I always say this, but I've never heard such solid column of a voice with that level of agility in non-classical music (I'm talking about this period in particular btw).
That musicianship >>>
Mariah Carey creating ALTERNATIVE CLIMAXES to her songs! (Live)

A version of “We Belong Together” by The Chillest just started playing on my Apple Music and I cannot get over how good the vocal melody is
JD always credited ABMB to Mariah, but like the melody on that song is just as good as the lyrics, same with WBTUKMIX Favourite Members 2021: RayRay being the first member to appear on 20 different voting lists!

Well Mariah was in Japan when it got released to radio and she probably didnt want to have to promote the song in the US when she got back. They probably had a break pencilled in before the next part of the tour.UKMIX Favourite Members 2021: RayRay being the first member to appear on 20 different voting lists!
