Geek alert: UK singles ranking (92,314) by Bill from the UK Hi all. You know I love me some lists. And you know I love me some stats. And you know I love being a geek and an excel database here and there. Please see below an excerpt from my Mariah excel, which lists all her UK singles in order of chart position. Why do I find things like this so interesting? Lol. Interestingly, both Breakdown and The Roof managed to chart (at the back end) despite not being released in the UK. The Roof was withdrawn from sale and so the import versions of the two singles did make an impact. Makes you wonder how well they would have fared, had they been released officially. The mind boggles. Position - Year - Title 01 - 1994 - Without You 01 - 2000 - Against All Odds 02 - 1992 - I'll Be There 02 - 1994 - All I Want for Christmas Is You 02 - 2005 - We Belong Together 03 - 1994 - Endless Love 03 - 1996 - Always Be My Baby 03 - 1997 - Honey 03 - 2003 - I Know What You Want 04 - 1995 - Fantasy 04 - 1996 - Open Arms 04 - 1998 - My All 04 - 1998 - When You Believe 04 - 2005 - It's Like That 05 - 1999 - Heartbreaker 05 - 2008 - Touch My Body 06 - 1995 - One Sweet Day 07 - 1993 - Hero 08 - 1994 - Anytime You Need a Friend 08 - 2002 - Through the Rain 09 - 1990 - Vision of Love 09 - 1993 - Dreamlover 09 - 2005 - Get Your Number/Shake It Off 10 - 2000 - Thank God I Found You 11 - 2005 - Don't Forget About Us 12 - 2001 - Loverboy 16 - 1999 - I Still Believe 17 - 1991 - Emotions 17 - 1992 - Make It Happen 17 - 2003 - Boy (I Need You) 19 - 2009 - I Want to Know What Love Is 20 - 1992 - Can't Let Go 22 - 1997 - Butterfly 22 - 2013 - Beautiful 27 - 2006 - Say Somethin' 30 - 2008 - Bye Bye 32 - 2001 - Never Too Far/Don't Stop 37 - 1990 - Love Takes Time 38 - 1991 - Someday 52 - 2009 - Obsessed 54 - 1991 - There's Got to Be a Way 81 - 2010 - Angels Cry 84 - 2008 - I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time 87 - 1998 - The Roof (import) 87 - 2014 - You're Mine (Eternal) 90 - 2013 - The Art of Letting Go 95 - 2008 - I Stay In Love 98 - 1998 - Breakdown (import) I'm sorry.

Re: Charmbracelet singles (92,298) (92,313) by Will from Australia Charmbracelet is hands down my least favourite album so I'd release Through The Rain and move on. When I listen to all the tracks and try imagine them on the radio I just struggle to. If I had to, I'd have released Through The Rain, Bringing On The Heartbreak and then The One. Now before you all come after me with your pitchforks, I do love a few other songs from the album but don't think they're single worthy. (Monday 13 January 2020; 21:08)

Re: Charmbracelet singles (92,310) (92,312) by Bill from the UK Charm Girl haha, love it. Yes I've no idea why The One was axed when it was seemingly received so positively by fans and critics in their reviews. Interesting that several of the responses have Yours. Great song, and agree, if the JT version had been released I think that would have been really successful. (Monday 13 January 2020; 18:46)

Re: Charmbracelet singles (92,301) (92,311) by Musti from UK I like the idea of Lullaby being remixed, perhaps with resung and stronger vocals aimed at the radio. But I'd rather have this as a hidden gem on the album than a commercialized number. My single choices would've been: 1) Through the Rain - appropriate, all things considered 2) You Got Me - another Migrate situation 3) The One - unique 4) Irresistible - slow burner, good way to end the CB era (Monday 13 January 2020; 16:24)

Re: Charmbracelet singles (92,306) (92,310) by Licia from USA Ok Charm Girl is in the building. Lol. My choices are: 1. The One 2. My Saving Grace 3. Yours 4. BOTH 5. You Had Your Chance My picks aren't for which songs would have been hits (although I think The One and Yours with Justin Timberlake might have had a chance). These are just songs I really love. Yes Bill I'm stilled pissed that they chose Boy over The One. Throughout the years before CB came out I never cared or got upset over the single choices, but that was a crap move on so many levels. I wanted to fight team Mariah that day. Lol. (Monday 13 January 2020; 16:07)

Re: Things have definitely taken a turn (92,282) (92,308) by We are Lambily from USA I love your positive attitude, we need more of that (Monday 13 January 2020; 07:20)

Re: The memoir (92,284) (92,307) by We are Lambily from USA A person upbringing is essential to a true artist artistry. Most artists have been through a lot and that's why we connect with them. People like Dua Lipa and most pop artists just makes us happy. But a lot of us go through stuff. Life is a bitch. A lot of you have cute ideas about her going into detail of her albums and songs, she may do that to few songs. But a memoir is a biography in its true nature. I wanna know everything, she won't be able to give us all the tea since the powers to be won't allow that. But I truly hope she is as transparent with her memoir as she has been with her music throughout the years. (Monday 13 January 2020; 07:19)

Re: Charmbracelet singles (92,298) (92,306) by Bill from the UK Through the Rain was fine for a lead single and good at "resetting" everything after Glitter. I was excited to hear The One was planned to be the second single, and mortified when it was a scrapped in favour of Boy. I would have put out I Only Wanted or Yours as the third single, and would have still ended it with I Know What You Want as the fourth. (Monday 13 January 2020; 07:12)

Re: Charmbracelet singles (92,298) (92,305) by SM from Citizen of the World 1. You Got Me 2. B'OTH 3. The One 4. Through The Rain (Monday 13 January 2020; 03:20)

Re: The memoir (92,295) (92,304) by Bobby A from United States My real concern is promoting the book without a new album to go along with it. If there is no new album to talk about and how parts of the book are reflected in the new album, then the book will quietly fade away the next week after its release. MC and her team must have a promotional tour modeled after Michelle Obama's book promotional tour. It was a huge success for her. A morning talk show and late night promotional tour would ensure the book promotional tour a major success. I hope MC writes companion songs for Vision of Love, Hero, and Love Takes Time to bring her earlier chart success back into the forefront. Only time will tell how serious she becomes about studio time after the Vegas shows. If she focuses, she can record a new album in 6 months. March through August will be pretty interesting to see what she can do in the studio. I feel she was in the studio last night with a new male producer. She had been too quiet this month. Lol.

Re: Charmbracelet singles (92,298) (92,303) by Hector from Mexico Charmbracelet has very good songs, but the singles selection was awful. My choice: The one Yours Clown (Monday 13 January 2020; 03:13)

Migrate (92,302) by Edward from USA Mariah wanted Migrate to be a single, there's not doubt about it, but she never pushed it or considered it to be the second single. She had a formula that had worked very well for ages, and she went with it. When asked, on an interview with Perez Hilton, about rumors that Migrate would follow Touch My Body, Mariah's response was: "Darling, we know what we're doing. We're going with a ballad." She didn't look displeased. I do really think Mariah and her team thought Bye Bye would be We Belong Together 2.0, but it wasn't. This notion that Mariah is a helpless child controlled and coerced by anyone is ridiculous, especially at that stage in her career. Mariah has made great decisions and some not so good ones, but let's not praise Mariah for her good decisions and blame others for her bad ones, that's insane. (Monday 13 January 2020; 02:40)

Re: Charmbracelet singles (92,298) (92,301) by The Real Deal from USA 1. Through The Rain 2. The One 3. Yours / Lullaby (Remixes) 4. Bringin' On The Heartbreak (Monday 13 January 2020; 01:47)

Re: Mariah, Dwayne and Mykall-Michelle in a movie (92,299) (92,300) by RibbonB from USA I googled just to double check myself and this popped up. (Monday 13 January 2020; 00:17)

Re: Mariah, Dwayne and Mykall-Michelle in a movie (92,292) (92,299) by RibbonB from USA Isn't it interesting that the Rock has never been a love interest in any of his movies. Not really, he's been a dad etc. Handsome enough guy, but he hasn't been that movie sex symbol. But I'm not a big fan and can't say I've really followed his movies, but I have seen enough of them on cable. He's done a few sex scenes in his football show, but meh.

Charmbracelet singles (92,298) by Joe from United Kingdom OK so I think the singles chosen off Charmbracelet were all sorts of mixed up. I you had choose 4/5 what would they be and in what order should they have been released? I'm thinking an uptempo should have been released first. (Monday 13 January 2020; 00:13)

Bill / Migrate (92,297) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Bill don’t jump the gun because Mariah herself wanted Migrate to be the official second single from E=MC2, but her label IDJ and the powers that be chose Bye Bye as the official second single. They allowed her to go with TMB as the lead single because they were fighting between TMB, and TC to lead off the album. (Sunday 12 January 2020; 18:54)

Re: Migrate duet with Ariana (92,290) (92,296) by Edward from USA What are you implying, that Migrate should've been a single? That would've been genius. I wonder why nobody ever mentioned that here. (Sunday 12 January 2020; 18:00)

Re: The memoir (92,289) (92,295) by B from USA I hope she devotes chapters of her memoir to each of her studio albums or at least to her favorite albums. (Sunday 12 January 2020; 16:00)

Re: The memoir (92,291) (92,294) by B from USA Bill, we know you love Infinity even those it's corny like Fritos. (Sunday 12 January 2020; 15:57)

Re: Yummy? (92,258) (92,293) by B from USA Yummy is underwhelming compared to What Do You Mean. So, you like EDM/Pop music which explains why you haven't liked any of Mariah's recent releases.You don't like R&B music. GTFO and The Distance have elements of EDM but you didn't like either of those songs. Maybe you should find an artist that makes the music you like since you clearly no longer like the music Mariah makes. (Sunday 12 January 2020; 15:51)

Re: Mariah, Dwayne and Mykall-Michelle in a movie (92,288) (92,292) by Dove from United States Mariah and Dwayne Johnson look so good together. He should play her love interest in a music video at least. (Sunday 12 January 2020; 15:38)

Re: The memoir (92,284) (92,291) by Bill from the UK Ooh ahh ooh ahh Crapfinity Crapfinity. (Sunday 12 January 2020; 12:25)

Re: Migrate duet with Ariana (92,283) (92,290) by Bill from the UK Speaking of Migrate, had that been a single Mariah would have now matched The Beatles' record. But still. She knew best. (Sunday 12 January 2020; 10:44)
