So 1997 (114,601) by TJ from Norway I forgot the 25 years release. What happened to her debut album and the vault? I'm confused. (Sunday 27 September 2026; 08:39) this is a reply to message 114,598

So 1997 (114,598) by Jamie from UK I don't think we will get an MC30 for Butterfly as we got a 25th anniversary edition so I don't think the need is there. She definitely needs to do something with the debut and Emotions albums though, I need me some more new unheard songs from that era. (Saturday 26 September 2026; 13:27)

So 1997 (114,600) by nancy from Switzerland I don't think we need another Butterfly reedition because there was her super expensive 25th collectors vinyl edition. I don't have it because I don't want to support that anymore. The package with all pictures etc looks great of course. And you'll notice that it has really the Mariah glamour in it. In order to make more money only a vinyl edition was produced. NO CD edition of course. The same thing for The Emancipation of Mimi and Glitter too. I do not support that anymore. Also the merch of her former era is leaving me disenchanted. The only thing I'll consider to buy is her new stuff. Here for it all of course. (Saturday 26 September 2026; 17:28)

Mariah Christmas in the UK (114,599) by Jamie from UK I'm the same. I made the decision a couple of years ago not to see her live again, which also makes me sad. My family can't believe it but the reason I used to want to go and watch her has gone. I still love her and always will but her performances now are not the Mariah I love. For those that go I hope you have a great time but it's a no from me. (Saturday 26 September 2026; 13:32) this is a reply to message 114,592

Mariah Christmas in the UK (114,592) by Lee from UK I was so close to buying tickets for me and my partner to the Manchester show but I hovered over the "Get These Tickets" button for too long. My sensible brain kicked in and said "Are you really going to spend all of this money to watch Mariah give nothing on stage and lipsync like a mime to pre-recorded vocals?" I then closed my browser and went back to work. I feel sad about it but after paying to see her in Sandringham and feeling disappointed, I do not want to be duped again.

So 1997 (114,597) by TJ from Norway I like to believe that 1997 was yesterday and that Butterfly still has some singles on the top 100's. And then I looked at the calendar. I just realised that we might be very lucky next year if she keeps up the tradition with her 30th anniversary albums. She has expressed her love for that album so many times, that I really do believe she can do some magic with such a release. What do you think? (Friday 25 September 2026; 23:08)

MC Christmas (114,596) by nancy from Switzerland What I saw on her Facebook page, that there is critique of her not singing live, lethargy etc. When someone writes the truth on her side, her management immediately puts another post to overshadow the truth. They not even accept constructive critique. It's too expensive for a non live show. Not even the playback is done correctly anymore because she is so distracted. There are so many videos on YouTube that prove everything. She doesn't move. The only fast move she does is after the shows when she goes to the Dior, LV store in Aspen to spend the money that her fans earned hardly hoping to get an outstanding experience. And you get absolutely nothing. At least her background singers are professional and motivated. (Friday 25 September 2026; 22:14)

23 Weeks (114,595) by Terna from Nigeria Lol, why get worked up? Remember Mariah's AIWFCIY will definitely snatch back that title this very Christmas - a gift that will keep giving long after she's gone (that in itself is such a flex). At this point now I'm over all that chart watching, placement etc. I just enjoy the music and the fact Mariah is still here and still making music just for the love of it, after what that demonic industry has put her through. Just enjoy her accomplishments and vast, satisfying body of work. PS: Just think of it, by the time Mariah accumulates 50+ weeks at #1 with "All I want for Christmas is you", nobody will be able to match, talk less of breaking that record because let's face it, no song is staying at number for a whole year, it's just not happening. Haha. This woman is so blessed. They try so hard to erase her, but she keeps coming back and proving them wrong and we love to see it.

23 Weeks (114,593) by Edward from USA Remember when debuting at #1 on the Hot 100 actually felt like a huge accomplishment? Now Ariana has done it eight times. "One Sweet Day" held the record for 23 years, 4 months and 13 days. It took Mariah 6 years and 5 months to reclaim it, and now, just 8 months and 19 days later, it's broken again. I don't know if you see the trend here. I wouldn't have minded if "Despacito", a worldwide phenomenon, or "A Bar Song (Tipsy)", which was absolutely everywhere in the US, had taken the record. But "Old Town Road" and "Choosin' Texas"? Nah. Sorry. I've always followed the charts, but this is getting so frustrating that I'm probably going to stop paying so much attention. At this point, some of it just doesn't make sense to me anymore. (Friday 25 September 2026; 15:13)

23 Weeks (114,590) by TJ from Norway What's funny is that it seems like no one have heard of her, she has less monthly listeners on Spotify than Mariah and still does this. It's like Taylor Swift. The same amount of listeners as Lady Gaga, but everything she touches turns into gold. (Friday 25 September 2026; 07:38)

23 Weeks (114,591) by Lainsky from Philippines Oh dear, this is sad, really sad. While I have doubts, let's hope AIWFCIY still has its magic to break its own record. (Friday 25 September 2026; 09:12) this is a reply to message 114,587

23 Weeks (114,587) by Edward from USA I'm a little bitter about "Choosin' Texas" taking over AIWFCIY's 22-week record. The frustrating part is that the song closest to overtaking it is still pretty far behind in overall points, so "Choosin' Texas" could possibly rack up another two or three weeks at #1. If that happens, even if "AIWFCIY" manages to score four more weeks at #1, it would only match it or beat it by one week. And that's assuming "AIWFCIY" doesn't start deflating by then.

23 Weeks / Christmas (114,584) by Belinda Vasquez from USA In response to "You can't expect for her to always be super cheerful like those [censored] singers who just smile all the time, on and off stage." - If I am paying tickets with my hard earned money, it is completely acceptable for me to want to see a good performance. So yes, I do accept some degree of that. Would you spend your hard earned money on a brand new car that has scratches because it shows that the car is resilient? LMAO I don't expect somebody to have a smile on for the duration of the entire performance, but I absolutely expect some effort. Do not attempt to tell me or anybody else spending their money that we aren't allowed to have expectations. (Thursday 24 September 2026; 17:11)

We all have our stages when you love people and days when you want to run over everyone while behind the wheel. Let's focus on Glitter celebration and upcoming Christmas time.

23 Weeks / Christmas (114,578) by BFF from US I don't really mind Mariah's legacy being Christmas, but the sense of desperation and lack of joy are what really bothers me. There was such a huge shift between her performances in 2019/20 and when she started up again in 2022. She seemed genuinely energized during the Caution Tour in 2019, The Butterfly Returns residency from 2018-20, and the holiday shows during those years. It felt like she was recovering from those awful 2014-17 Stella years and getting back on track. But now she's lip syncing nearly the entire show and has this pained/detached look on her face so much of the time. She just really seems unhappy, and things appeared this way even before her mom and sister died. I would rather that she not perform at all if it makes her miserable.

Article: Mariah Carey's "All My Life" remixed By Channel Tres (114,582) by Lainsky from Philippines It's nice. Without a doubt, Mariah is the queen of remixes, not just Christmas, if I may add. Lol. However, I still prefer the OG version on the album. It should have been a single back then. (Thursday 24 September 2026; 05:58)

23 Weeks / Christmas (114,581) by Lainsky from Philippines Same sentiments here. I hate it when people recognize Mariah only during Christmas. It sucks, but oh well, I guess we just have to accept it and choose to enjoy what she's putting out there for support. At least we can still get to enjoy her entire discography. Her music and everything that goes around it is her legacy. We are her lambs, aren't we? Merry Christmas. (Thursday 24 September 2026; 05:44) this is a reply to message 114,574

23 Weeks / Christmas (114,574) by Randy from USA This Choosin Texas song ain't it. I love country music but I've heard better. It's interesting how it took a long time for songs to break the 13 week record set by Elvis. Then MC came with the 16 week record. Took awhile for Despacito to come along and tie it but now it seems like every few years we have another contender reaching the near 20 week mark. In a time of low attention spans, I don't think Billboard is calculating the most popular song in the country anymore. I'd never heard of the song until last week. I made myself listen to it. I'm not bitter about MC's record being broken. She broke others' records. I am more upset of the quality of music staying number one for 5 months. Whatever. Oh and about Christmas. I warned y'all this (MCs legacy being Christmas) would happen in 2019 and y'all said I was being dramatic. (Wednesday 23 September 2026; 13:46)

23 Weeks / Christmas (114,579) by Bobby A from United States Lamb, Dimitri dahhling on Instagram brought up interesting point. He said that MC has been setting the bar for the longest weeks at number one for decades. Ella Langley's dominance will fade here in about 4 weeks when Morgan Wallen's new song, Last Thing I Need or Taylor's surprise single dethrones her. MC will set the bar again for 28 weeks total potentially at number one this holiday season. MC will keep setting the bar until another artist beats her record again. Ella's reign is just another heartbreak country song that just made it into a brokenhearted lover's ear and wallet. (Wednesday 23 September 2026; 23:18) this is a reply to message 114,574
