The Mariah Carey Discography Rate - Album Averages

[Wayne]

I like all of those.

Do You Think Of Me has really grown on me since The Rarities was released.

[Thriller]

Make It Happen is bloody brilliant, such a bop. One of my favourites from the first five years of her career.

Never Too Far is that snooze.

[matthew_dixon]

Interesting I seem to be alone these past few sets of results in actually voting some things so bad that they warrant a big fat 0. I don't actually know "Migrate" that well, but from what I recall I really don't rate it. "Shake It Off" is really dull compared to so much of her other work.

[InfoFromAus]

For The Record

Highest Score: 10 (Leo, InfoFromAus, JSparksFan, DNK, RedSimba)

^ taste!

[mattsky]

Some great songs. I have always loved Shake It Off.

[Leo]

#Beautiful (ft. Miguel & Jeezy) [Remix]: a great track, a great remix. It keeps the cool vibes of the orignal song but added some extra flavours. Too low as most of her hot remixes!

Anytime You Need A Friend (Soul Convention Remix) it was such a great discovery from the MC30 series for me! The original is fire and this make sit justice.

Candy Bling kinda low, I like it a lot, smooth.

Got To Be Real (Live) [with Patti Labelle] cant believe this is so high! c'mon... it could have been left out of the Rate and noone would even bother...

All I've Ever Wanted WHAT???!!!! My heart was broken... it's such a touching song! Ok, it's the song I used to hear a lot in my teenage years when I was madly in love with my friend, who 10 years later became my girlfriend and today is my wife! So I may not be objective here, but I listen to this song and I am 15 again looking at her from the outside and melting anytime she would speak to me...

From the Top100 ones:
Do You Think of Me is a great track, it could have easily be part of the album! Its, alongside Everything Fades Away, her b-sides that sould have been part of the era!

Never Too Far is a song I initiatlly loved but with time it adds little to her body of work. Still, it's a powerful ballad and a solid track.

For The Record was a candidate for one of my 11s! I LOVE it. Its her best album track by a mile imo.

Make It Happen is TOO low! It is top20 material imo. And the lyrics are very inspiring and I love she was so open back then.

[Tomer_MC]

I'm surprised at Do U Think of Me... I really love it & always have been but it's very high - cool.

Candy Bling is one of my fav from MOAIA!!

For the Record is a special one for me.

Never Too Far, Shake It Off & Make It Happen are HUGE songs (I thought SIO would be higher)

[nemospence]

Never Too Far displays Mariah's low notes middle notes high notes and whistle notes magnificently. It would be a crime not to include this up in the chart. Besides, when she decided to put this on Spotify, I streamed it hundreds of times.

Anytime You Need a friend will make a non-Mariah fan think twice. She showcases her full voice in the best way possible. Of course the music must be equally good. This is the one. So if someone looks down on Mariah's vocal abilities, this will prove them wrong. I had a new level of amazement in her voice after hearing this. Now Celine has real competition.

[Leo]

sorry for the delay! yesterday there was downtime in the page right when I was free to update this! Expect later today the next set of bubbling under!

How dare you, Leo. Prisoner alone destroys Nokia and Z’s entire catalogues combined.

[mattsky]

Loverboy and Reflections <3

[Leo]

Prisoner alone destroys Nokia entire catalogues combined.

Agree 100% there, Prisoner with a 2 does that for sure.

[Wayne]

Absolutely shocked that Prisoner is so low.

It's a travesty that When I Saw You missed the top 100.

[InfoFromAus]

OMG!

Several crimes have been committed!

The level of hate here. I just can't.

Prisoner is good, but it’s a bit overrated in the lambily tbh

I wouldve liked Loverboy to be higher. Sleigh Ride has a good rating and ranking. Her best Christmas song in a while.

[Goldmoney]

Props to Kween for releasing a dated 90s Karen ballad at a time when vocals didn’t matter anymore on the charts, but Through the Glitter pretty much killed Charmy on arrival. Even internationally where the song did ok, the album still flopped to oblivion.

[nemospence]

The Distance which belongs in my honorable mention, is #55? Hmm. Well I guess there's other song from Caution that ranked higher. I'll be expecting that. Because Caution is my favorite album after Butterfly.

[Leo]

From the bubbling under, I think they are ok where they are. Maybe I'm surprised some are that high in comparison to previously announced songs, but it's ok.

The Distance is a little below my expectations. I was rooting for it to reach Top40 at least, as it's Caution in tis finest form imo.
HATEU is nice. It was announced earlier but had a problem with one vote and it jumped 20 positions thanks to that correction, showing in fact how close they are one another!
With You was very nice but I am surprised it's higher than The Distance... probably being a single benefited it? The song is cute and nice.
Faded is a song that sticks to my head everytime I hear it!!! Yesterday I prepared this post and went to bed. Didn't even listen to it, just post the name and pic and submit, but that was enough for me to wake up today with a "faaaadeeee,,,, faaaded..." in repeat in my head!
Through The Rain is nice but other songs are much better. Surprised it's this high, it belongs more to the 80s (as in the hot100)

[RayRay]

The Distance is way too high. I wonder if it would have been this high if it hadn't been a single.

HATEU is one of my favorite Mariah songs. I also really love the Jump Smokers Remix. And then to think I didn't like the song when I first heard it. It really had to grow on me.

With You is one of my favorite songs of the Caution album. Only Caution itself ranks higher if I had to choose the best songs of the album.

Faded like HATEU this had to grow on me. But when it did, I fell deeply in love with this song. One of my favorites.

Through The Rain has beautiful lyrics and it was nice to see Mariah shine again after the Glitter album. It brought Mariah back high on the charts here and the video is one of my all time favorites. She also did some great tv-performances to promote the song.

[Leo]

The Distance wasn't a single...

[InFamous]

The Distance wasn't a single...

Well, it was a promo single like GTFO and it even had a lyric video.

Official singles - With you, A no no ( originally a promo single, later an official single)
Promo singles - GTFO, The Distance

Anyway I love The Distance and good to see it do well here

[Leo]

I would consider GTFO a single, but not The Distance, it got a lyric video and a Jimmy Fallon presentation but that was it. I don't think that small push would make anyone rate it higher for being a single... With You was probably the only big official single.
