Thank you guys for hosting this, it was great re-discovering Mariah's gems.

Hope you guys or someone else does other divas, it's really interesting to find out who loves which song and discovering new songs from our fave divas.

Yeah! My greatest discovery from The Rate would be Almost Home. It put Mariah on a whole new level as far as I'm concerned. And there are songs that I haven't heard yet. I haven't even listened to The Rarities yet. Crazy!

I may jump into the Madonna but:
- I think we should wait until the Artist Survivor is over
- I may be inclined to wait until october 2022, kicking off votes in july, to celebrate Everybody's 40th anniversary

I’m on holiday with poor mobile reception so I’ll have to catch up with the last few pages when I get home but I just want to say thank you to
Leo and bm08 for all your hard work. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the countdown and for me, WBT is a deserving number 1

[bm08]

Here is the top 10 compared to the last countdown:

2015	2021
01. Vision of Love 02. We Belong Together 03. Butterfly 04. All I Want For Christmas Is You 05. Always Be My Baby 06. My All 07. Without You 08. Can't Let Go 09. Hero 10. Anytime You Need A Friend	01. We Belong Together 02. The Roof (Back In Time) 03. Always Be My Baby 04. Fantasy 05. All I Want For Christmas Is You 06. Vision of Love 07. My All 08. Honey 09. #Beautiful 10. Caution

[InfoFromAus]

Oooh - interesting.

Reflecting changing tastes, or perhaps evolving appreciation for some songs.

I would imagine many different people voting - those two lists capture some of Mariah's best songs ever.

Another one with 5 Top100, including lead sinlge #B inside the Top10!!! Lowest ranked single is You're Mine at #143, and highest non-single would be You Don't Know at #48... i wasn't even a promo single, was it?

Only three top100 for such an iconic album! Emotions, the lead single, is the top ranked at what it seems a VERY low position: #24. No non-singles in the top100 seems the explanation of this album at #10...

#209 Joy Ride
#210 One and Only (ft. Twista)
#264 Makin' It Last All Night (What It Do) [ft. Jermaine Dupri]
#311 To the Floor (ft. Nelly)


I am not sure if I am surprised or not about Mimi at #7... For such an iconic moment in her career, I would say I am! With 9 Top100, including the #1 GOAT, it probably is affected by such a large number of songs, and the Platinum edition bringing low scores in... Lowest ranked single is Get Your Number at #147 while highest non.single is Scream Again at #63, as I consider Fly Like a Bird a promo single...

[Leo]

#6



Average: 7.64

#6 Vision of Love
#28 Love Takes Time
#44 Vanishing
#64 I Don't Wanna Cry
#89 Someday
#139 Alone In Love
#144 All In Your Mind
#159 Prisoner
#197 There's Got to Be a Way
#204 Sent from Up Above
#259 You Need Me


Five Top100 with lead single, the one that started it all, at a solid #6! Lowest ranked sintgle is There's Got To... at #197. Vanishing at #44 is the highest ranked non-single!

[Leo]

#5



Average: 7.74

#21 Anytime You Need a Friend
#23 Dreamlover
#37 Without You
#40 Hero
#100 Music Box
#150 Now That I Know
#162 All I've Ever Wanted
#184 Just to Hold You Once Again
#191 Never Forget You
#214 I've Been Thinking About You


This album gets a lot of love, but equally some hate. It is indeed a "safe" album, but that started to pave the path to her R&B inclusion, and consolidated her as a true global star. The top ranked single, and song overall, is Anytime at #21, so no top20 for this and "just" 5 top100. Less number of songs definetly benefits its average! The highest non-single is Music Box at #100.Lowest ranked single is Never Forget You at a distant #191.

#46 Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)
#47 Joy To the World
#124 Hark! The Herald Angels Sing / Gloria (In Excelsis Deo)
#154 Silent Night
#166 Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
#186 Jesus Oh What a Wonderful Child
#200 Jesus Born On This Day
#215 God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen


Amazing performance by a Christmas album! Xmas GOAT at #5 pushes the album up. But also the fact that it scored 5 Top100!!!

[Leo]

#3



Average: 8.00

#10 Giving Me Life (ft. Blood Orange & Slick Rick)
#11 Caution

#71 A No No
#72 GTFO
#80 8th Grade
#99 One Mo' Gen
#183 Portrait
#226 Stay Long Love You (ft. Gunna)


Massive performance by this album, with 8 Top100 out of 10 entries!!! And even more interesting that it top 2 songs, at #10 and #11, are non-singles! Highest ranked single is With You at #53, while the lowest ranked single is GTFO at #72.
