The Mariah Carey Discography Rate - Album Averages

[Goldmoney]

Burn it with fire

Emancipation has like a million songs anyway so it’s not a fair playing ground. Songs only in the top 100 might have been a better comparison. All that matters is #1.

[Leo]

Emancipation at #6 is a crime tho.

#7

[spiritboy]

I did not do so bad.

[Goldmoney]

Give yourselves a pat on the back.

[Leo]

I’m a bigger stan than both OPs?

lol

but we gain a bunch of lamb points for putting so much effort into running this

I figured the last place would be between Rawiri and Wayne! It didnt seem like skylynx and monarc were giving lower scores

[InfoFromAus]

What an amazing top 2. No surprises there. In fact I think the rankings of the albums aren't overly surprising upon reflection, other than TEOM and Glitter ranking relatively lower than I expected.

Thanks Leo and bm08.

#2 The Roof (Back In Time)
#7 My All
#8 Honey
#14 Breakdown (ft. Krayzie Bone & Wish Bone)
#15 Butterfly
#26 Close My Eyes
#29 Whenever You Call
#39 Outside

#90 Babydoll
#96 Honey (Classic Club Mix)
#173 Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise)
#212 Honey (ft. Da Brat & Jermaine Dupri) [So So Def Mix]



No way we can even question this result... leaving out the dance remixes included in at least the official album I bought back in 1997, ALL the tracks ended up inside the top100!!!! An outstanding 3 Top10 and 5 Top20, This is not only Mariah's more cherished work based on countless times she mentioned it, it's also ukmix lambs favourite too! The Roof was close to steal the spotlight and win the whole thing, Close My eyes is the highest non-single at "6 and Whenever You Call the lowest single at a solid #29. My personal fav, an album I still listen and captivates me, I am glad to name Butterfly Mimi's best ranked album in this amazing rank that bm08 created some months ago.

#3 Always Be My Baby
#4 Fantasy
#25 Underneath the Stars
#38 One Sweet Day (with Boyz II Men)

#78 Looking In
#97 Forever
#118 Long Ago
#130 I Am Free
#140 Open Arms
#151 When I Saw You
#267 Daydream Interlude (Fantasy Sweet Dub Mix)


With 2 Top10 and 7 Top100 entries we find Daydream! This album consolidated Mariah's superstar status globally and contained the 90s song of the decade in the US! Lowest single is Open Arms at #140, while the hisghest non-single is Melt Away at #43!
It's interesting that this only averaged 0.02 more than Caution!

[InfoFromAus]

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.

Very surprised that not one song from Music Box made the top 20.

I sense maybe a bit of bias against the album based on its AC reputation. :( Shame.

[Leo]

Oops yeah!

It’s good that its done that way given just how low some of the remixes were rated. A shame.

Agree! If we consider ALL songs competing from each era, TEOM would be #14, and that is unacceptable lol

[bm08]

These are ALBUM averages, so remixes are not counted. Only songs included in the actual album release, considering official releases. Only remixes couting are the ones included in the actual album, such as Heartbreaker Remix, Honey So So Def, Honey Club, TTR Remix, Daydream Interlude, etc-.

It's amazing to see Caution so high in the averages!

I think the multitude of remixes really impacted some of the album eras.

#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...

A massive 8 top100 entries, but lead single Touch My Body "only" peaks at #32! Lowest ranked single is the ill fated Bye Bye at just #180, although Love Story was kind of a promo single and flopped harder at #266. Highest ranked non-single is the amazing Side Effects!
