The Mariah Carey Discography Rate - Album Averages

[Tomer_MC]

I just love almost everything she puts out. almost.

BGK is so high wow... the one that got a way along with Migrate.

FLAB is phenomenal. such powerful message, lyrics, vocals. I wish one day Mariah would sing it live and give it justice. it's way too messy with all the lipping parts jumping around...

EFA is hunting and beautiful. I am very moved by it. happy to see it ranked in the top 20!

[mattsky]

Great songs! There is something special about Betcha Gon' Know. FLB is splendid.

[nemospence]

BGK is a tad weak and uninteresting. Surprised it found its way inside top 20.

FLAB- One of my top picks, gone-The unpredictability of this ranking! This song is best played inside the car, when you're on the road.

EFA has got some potential to grow on you. But it needs a proper music video to make it known to the the public.

[SholasBoy]

Thanks for posting that clip of Fly, it got me in the feels like the first time I heard it on the album!

[InfoFromAus]

I am so surprised that Betcha Gon' Know has made the top 20.

I did give it a 10 - I think there's something special about it - Mariah's vocals, the imagery through the lyrics, the mood of the song, it's great.

The average being 9 is a surprise - it's a bit of an unheralded track.

We enter the top 20 and say goodbye to three gems!

I love "everything fades away". I L.O.V.E it.

True, Everything Fades Away is the best song on the album, though.

slay, nippian, it's also my fave track from the album. it's so depressing and dark. <3

UKMIX Fan Comments:

"Betcha Gon' Know" is a riveting soap opera

Betcha Gon' Know: One of my all time favorite Mariah songs. Especially the Jumpsmokers Remix is fire.

Yes to BGK as a single. I used to listen to that song on repeat and imagine the video
Wasted opportunities

[nemospence]

I just finished listening to the remaining tweny songs. Here are my Top Ten Picks.

• Always Be My Baby
• Butterfly
• Fly Like a Bird
• Heartbreaker
• Honey
• Lead The Way
• My All
• Vision of Love
• We Belong Together
• When You Believe

[bm08]

Hate to ask - but at the end of this countdown, is it possible to get a summary of votes? Like, which songs got the most 11s, the most 10s etc?

Yeah! I think Leo and I can do some analysis at the end, including album averages. Etc

[nemospence]

Dreamlover is always nice to hear on shuffle.

It's Like That is edgy. If someone hears Mariah for the first with this one, he/she will definitely crave for more of her music. Welcome to Mariah's world.

Anytime You Need a Friend barely missing Top 20 is beyond me. If I could write Mariah a letter, I would tell her: "Thank You Mariah for writing a song about friendship. You don't know how much meaningful this song is right now when many people are in distress and need someone to talk to. And the way you sang its encouraging lyrics would give initial dose of antidepressant to lonely hearts."

Firstly - ATYNAF - listening to it last night in the car and I was thinking to myself - that has to be in the top 20.
It's a legendary song that is loved by fans.
It's epic - brilliant vocals, choir, belts, runs, and a beautiful melody.

And it comes in at #21? * insert crying emoji *

Rawiri James killed it. I thought he didn’t like her pop songs tho? Ain’t nothing pop about it except that it was on a lite pop album.

Caution having two songs left in the top 20 is surprising as well!!

[Goldmoney]

Everything Fades Away the best song on that crap AC album?

[bm08]

This is my first time seeing the top 20 and...wow

I agree that When You Believe being top 20 is...too high! Top 40 maybe!

O Holy Night is quite high too. That's a real surprise! Betcha Gon Know...I cant believe it at all...like top 20? How?! I'm surprised VOL, Caution made it so high too.

Some are expected though... WBT, Fantasy, Honey, My All...

[Goldmoney]

I was thinking O Holy Night and Giving Me Life but I was sure they were gone already.

I would switch out 1/2 tbh.

[Thriller]

Some random stuff made the top end, but the worst result is the sickly When You Believe being so high.
