Mariah Carey

[delapuerta]

She's like this since forever Can you accept that? she's trying to no offense anybody and it's an old pattern she uses to say things between the lines

[SmartIsNewSexy]

I love her but damn she just chats so much waffle... succinct Mariah, succinct!

I felt she waffled in the book too!

This!!! Ugh!

[SmartIsNewSexy]

The quote "Which is difficult to get, not everyone has that to their credit" is now iconic!

I agree with you. Maybe she should put all her concerts on Netflix or Apple TV

That would be a dream!!

I wonder how many streams etc her Merriest Christmas Special gets?

I would have loved a "making of the book" special too. My fantasy is real time footage of her and Michaela talking about the different stories in the Moroccan room, them meeting with the publishers, etc. Similar to the E! documentary during TEOM era.

I do think Michaela should do more interviews. I think she's a great interviewee and clearly has a lot of respect and love for Mariah.

Her interviews were better / clearer in the years before EMC2 imo. Now it’s like watching a different person.
As a fan I do hope she takes these criticisms positively.

[SmartIsNewSexy]

Mariah is going to make $$$$$ from this book.

400k WW???

She em how it’s done MC!

[bm08]

She did not sell 400k WW, not even close.

She did well, we don't need to inflate her numbers to celebrate!

I agree with you, IDK if apart of the physical copies (41k) there is any reliable source about digital and audiobook sales. But 400k seems too much for me too.

The soonest we realise that figure came from stevyy's ranting the better.

^ yes lol
I think he mentioned something about hearing that Mariah's previous book sold 400,000 copies.

I'm like which book? Oh... All I Want For Christmas. ?

She didnt even move that for AIWFCIY

If she did, she would've been a Best Selling Author already

[SpyVsSpy]

Regardless, 41k physical copies in one market alone is pretty good

Yup, digital copy may have also sold on that number plus audible so likely 100k in US alone?

[bm08]

She's a Sunday Times Best Selling Author too now! The book is #7 with 6,940 sold.

I think the placing on the UK list is most impressive. She hardly did any promo there so it does speak to her name reach and a few of the bombshells dropped in the American media penetrating the UK market.
