Mariah Carey

[InFamous]

BC she was usually nominated:

1991 - 5 nominations
1992 - 2 nominations
1993 - 2 nominations
1994 - 1 nomination
1995 - 2 nominations
1996 - 6 nominations
1998 - 3 nominations
2000 - 1 nomination
2001 - 1 nomination
2006 - 8 nominations
2007 - 2 nominations
2009 - 1 nomination

Why did she get such few noms between 1992 and 1995 ?

I don't mind the picture. It serves it's purpose. I would have preferred if just be the picture and 'The Meaning of Mariah Carey'. Then have the writers on the back and side! Over all its better than I expected it to be! I can't wait to read it!!

How many copies does the New York Times bestseller have?

If you want a realistic shot to become a bestseller, you must sell at least 5,000 – 10,000 copies in one week.


c'mon Lambily. Make it happen

I'm totally getting a copy of this memoir. I never bought a book/memoir from basically any artist in my life, so this is going to be my first. I've always found Mariah's life to be one of the most interesting and I don't mind spending my hard-earned money for this (as I do for her brilliant catalog). Can't wait to get my hands on this!

Same here.

There weren’t as many categories back then, and unfortunately she wasn’t nominated in the general field any of those years from 92 - 95.

The Pop Vocal Album category wasn’t created until the 1995 Grammys. I think had it existed her whole career, she would have undoubtedly been nominated in it for Mariah Carey, Emotions, Music Box, and maybe even Unplugged. She probably would have won it a couple of times too!

Yeah me too! I will try to get a digital copy at least.

The cover is divine. The color scheme is timeless, and her expression is very Daydream-like. Beautiful and alluring

[SpyVsSpy]

That cover looks great mc

[Anderson]

I don't like that cover and title.... but I will order it as usual.. Hopefully there's a Korean version.

[Smokie76]

I love the cover and the title. Really looking forward to buying and reading it

[SpyVsSpy]

I'm convinced that Mottola has more than anything to do with it. I believe that his tactics to get her airplay made the industry insiders jealous. In later years they simply did not care for her anymore.

If anyone else released Caution - as it is - it would have gotten that damn R&B album Grammy.

Grammys is a politics game. If you have friends in the right camps or if you please them enough, you’ll win. It doesn’t bother me anymore that mariah has so few. The fact that some others win with unremarkable releases tells me it’s not worth bothering about.

[musedeva]

They really shaded her in that way?

I don't think they were shading her....or Beyonce...at all....well......errr........anyways...the industry is NOT itself these years at all....

Depends on the week. Sales have been slightly up.

I would say she'd need about 20K. But then with a Fall release, who knows.

Her book should become mandatory in schools... The Meaning of Mariah Carey sounds like an entire new school subject to me. Let's make that happen, y'all.

Sometimes it truly worries me that you have children in your care on a daily basis.
I can just imagine you reading passages from that book to them

Did anyone read this article about Fourth of July?
I don’t think I saw it posted here so here’s a link to the article about the song.

[allygdale]

Adore the cover! It’s a gorgeous shot and perfect for a book

I am sure she will be a best-seller, there will be selective leaks and promo

I want the debut anniversary now though, depriving us during quarantine is so unlike her! We are struggling!

[Imopink1]

Y’all it’s already been almost two years since Caution was released wow. Hopefully we get an album soon

I cannot see her releasing an album until mid 2021 at the very earliest.

[myworld]

I really wish there would have been a cute song to coincide with the book release!

[MsWeiss]

There still might be!
Jessica Simpson released an EP along with her memoir, so you never know, it could still happen! Sept is far enough away that she can line up a song(s?)!

[JeremySpears]

This year would be the perfect time to re-release "The Ballads". Put Angels Cry, The Art of Letting Go & Portrait on there and Boom! 2x Platinum before 2021 has even started.

No one buys compilations albums anymore. There’s no point at all in the streaming era when you can just make a playlist with the songs

Mariah uploaded this to her IG stories and the 2006 V magazine is available to purchase here https://shop.vmagazine.com/collectio...nts-mariah-v39

The 2 worst albums of her carreer

People are lazy. It's much easier to stream an existing compilation instead of bothering to create a playlist.

There is no need for re-releasing it. It sells pretty well on its own in part due to it being more widely available.

I also dont think her label would go through the trouble of trying to secure ballads from other labels (eg. Angel's Cry).

They will tout her Sony catalog more with the release IMO.

Girl nobody wants a compilation album. We want bops.
