Mariah Re-releases Album, Hopes For A Miracle

Filed under: Mariah Carey

mccc.jpg

The first time around, Mariah Carey's new album, Memiors of an Imperfect Angel, didn't soar. Let's see if round two has different results!

The new new album will include remixes to every song on Memoirs. Producer Tricky Stewart says it will be "easy" and "fun" to do, but he has big plans for Mariah's cover of Foreigner.

He says: "I'm gonna do a remix to Want to Know What Love Is myself. I'mma raise the tempo up. I'mma try to make it into something else."

Let's hope that helps. No word on when this remix album will be released, but in the meantime, the third single off the original album has been decided and will be H.A.T.E.U.

Have U heard it? What did U think of it?

    Give it up already…

    You're an asshole Perez. Her album sold a fuckload more than Madonna's latest album. That being said, I am getting tired of her releasing an album every 5 minutes. She should go away for awhile so people at least miss her. She's has like three albums plus another greatest hits record in the last 4-5 years. Its annoying.

    hateu is decent, but I dont think its a single. she should release "Its a wrap" as a single, which is totally amazing.

  19. 19

    ok 1st of all to all the Madonna haters Madonna's album is a greatest hits cd Not a "NEW" material album like Mariah's so you can't compare the two. 2nd yeah mariah "new" album( they all sound the same) its a flop. Deal with it!



  20. 20

    I love her shes one of the few artist that has been able to stay on top after so much, she still has and i believe will always have hits!!! Better then all these other artist that have to create drama to get fame she uses her voice which is alot more then most out there!!!! Give her some credit for all her hard work.



  21. 21

    i havent and i don´t want to… i can´t stand her annoying voice



  22. 22

    I actually think the album is really good. It's totally relevant with today's music. I think that H.A.T.E.U. is a damn good song too. I have to give Mariah props for not doing the usual what everyone expects. This one is alittle different. I hope that she sells tons more when the remix is released.



  23. 23

    DESPERATE!

    and hey jlenoconel - Madonna's "New" album was a greatest hits. Those don't typically sell well at first- just over time.

    Re: hell2dno
    Right…because if the situation were reversed, and CELEBRATION did better, you and your ilk would be comparing it to MEMOIRS. Deny it, and you're lying.



  25. 25

    Yeah I wonder why you didn't post the video of her life performance of Hate U.. because she did an amazing job and you're biased. Ass hole.



  26. 26

    What the shit does "I'mma" mean. Why don't I see [sic] behind everyone of those?



  27. 27

    Mariah included "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS" in her album for the rest of the world because THE REST OF THE OUTSIDE WORLD of USA only knows her as Queen of Cover Songs. She has 2 number ones in UK both are covers.
    WITHOUT YOU and AGAINST ALL ODDS (a rerecorded version with UK band WESTLIFE who were popular 5 years ago and her song HERO went to number one after being recorded by XFACTOR tv show finalist). Madonna has 12 in USA and 13 in the UK number ones. Madonna still has MORE NUMBER 1s than Mariah. ( 40 dance #1s. AND more #1 albums than Mariah in America despite Mariah repackaging and overpromoting herself like a Mother Hamster with 200 babies a month)



  28. 28

    Idiot..there's a difference between a re-release and remix album, which the latter was planned about a month before the release of the original CD. Isn't that the same type of album you just reported Gaga will be releasing? I swear, you must jizz each time you hear something slightly negative about MC.



  29. 29

    Re: Snookums
    Madonna's had more dance hits than anyone else, because she's been making the same dance/pop crap for 25 years.

    MADONNA IS THE BEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIME
    MADONNA IS HUGE EVERYWHERE,MARIAH IS NOBODY OUTSIDE USA.



  31. 31

    The album is zzzzzzzzzz and the rerelease will be double zzzzzzzzzz



  32. 32

    HATEU is the best slow track on the album…with the right promotion it can be a hit.



  33. 33

    Do you get a dollar for each negative post about Mariah, Perez?!! It's starting to get really annoying. Why don't you ever post any of her RECENT performances?..wait..i know, because they're great!! You wish Gaga and Madonna could sing like MC! Is Madonna paying you for this shit?! Who cares if this last album did not reach #1, it doesn't make it a bad album. You and all these HATERS can go to hell!!



  34. 34

    Re: TwistinMySobriety

    And MARIAH's 18 US number one's because she's been fingering Tommy Mottola and fisting radio dj's. Yadda yadda. Your point??



  35. 35

    stop hatin on her, just grow up



  36. 36

    I actually like that song better than the rest of the album. And as for Madonna: That woman can put out whatever she wants and it'll be a hit no matter what. So………please don't compare roylaty to pumpernickel. Thanks!



  37. 37

    i downloaded this album. i liked it. shut up. i agree that she should take a break instead of coming out w/ a new cd every year or two. it doesn't give her enough time to always come up with a hit. look how long it took her to create "emancipation of mimi." but despite that, i still think this new cd is good. not so "shiteous" enough for you to say so many shitty things about it. its mariah, its her style. let it go. if she wants to release a cd, then let her. god. damn.



  38. 38

    Re: Snookums
    Right..and everyone knows Madonna slept with every New York DJ to get her records played in clubs before she became famous. My point? You're an idiot. Mariah has had 23 top ten hits in the UK, and dozens more around the world, so your claim as her as the cover queen is shit.

    Who gives a crap about her lame ass, boring music. It is so irrelevant.



  42. 42

    i say she should give it up, move away to an island somewhere and retire with the millions she already has. that way we never have to hear her awful music or see her again.



  43. 43

    Re: jlenoconel – but u cant compare a greatest hits collection to a cd of original music. an original cd SHOULD sell better than a greatest hits collection. now i am not a huge madonna fan but i would much rather listen to madonna than mariah.

  46. 46

    To the idiot who posted this article: If the next version of the album has not been released yet, and you say you don't know when it's going to be released, then why is the title of this post 'Mariah Re-releases Album, Hopes For A Miracle'? Rather misleading, wouldn't you say?



  47. 47

    Accounting for certain complexities in how soundtracks are categorized by each source, Madonna's totals top Houston's. As noted last week, according to the RIAA, Madonna ranks 15th all-time with 63.5 million units certified. Houston places 20th with 54 million.

    According to Nielsen SoundScan - whose data begins in 1991, after the two stars had begun their careers - album sales since that year stand at 26,347,000 for Madonna and 23,786,000 for Houston (again, including soundtrack sets such as "The Bodyguard," which is officially considered a soundtrack to Nielsen SoundScan).

    With Madonna and Houston having head starts in the '80s over Carey, who arrived with the release of her self-titled debut collection in 1990, how does the lattermost artist fare against the other two? Like last week, let's compare using figures from both the RIAA (where longevity gives a potential edge to Madonna and Houston) and Nielsen SoundScan, where a span of 1991 to date covers a period in which all three performers have actively released product.

    The RIAA places Carey just one spot below Madonna, in 16th place among all artists with 62.5 million units certified. So, per the RIAA, it's Madonna (63.5 million), Carey (62.5) and Houston (54) in this comparison.

    According to Nielsen SoundScan, Carey is the clear winner by a wide margin, actually topping the total album sales - again, since 1991 - of Madonna and Houston combined. Carey's sum stands at 51,833,000.

    H.A.T.E.U AND IT'S A WRAP ARE MY 2 FAVES!! I LOVE UP OUT MY FACE TOO!! GREAT ALBUM!



  49. 49

    Re: jlenoconel – WRONG! PLUS THE GREATEST HIT'S DOESN'T COUNT. IT IS AWESOME THAT SHE WORKS SO HARD AND PUTS OUT SO MANY ALBUMS. THAT'S WHY SHE THE #1 SELLING FEMALE. I ALREADY CAN'T WAIT TILL HER NEXT ALBUM IS RELEASED =)



  50. 50

    DESPARATE!

    HOW LOW!



  51. 51

    Re: mattiboi
    AGREE THAT IT'S A WRAP IS THE BEST BUT HATEU IS VERY GOOD TOO. IT'S MY SECOND FAVE. I LIKE IT MORE AND MORE I HEAR IT.



  52. 52

    Re: Snookums
    MC has witten soooooo many songs in the last 20 years with less than a handful of them being covers. They were #1s too. Stop HATING!!! There is plenty of success for both Mariah and Madonna. They both deserve respect. However Mariah is my #1



  53. 53

    So it looks like Susan Boyle's going to kick everyone's arse, and rightly so. I'm so glad Mariah didn't buy that $100million+ house, because if she was counting her chickens before they hatched, she'd be boinked without a condon big time !!!



  54. 54

    With luck it will reach the top 40 in the adult contemporary chart.



  55. 55

    i already bought the album! lol. but i'll probably end up buying the remixed album too. idk why everyone is hating on Mariah and her new album. i never really listened to mariah until i picked up this CD! Madonna is my #1. i bought celebration 2 disc obviously haha. but this is one of my favorite cds. i love every song on this album. she worked hard on it. Madonna is the queen. but mariah is up there with Madonna. and perez you're a douche bag. ur a smelly fatass with no talent. all u do is bash people. and u are totally bias. i'm so sick of u. i hope nick punches u in the face bc u didn't learn your lesson last time with Will.I.Am. it's one thing to have an opinion about the cd but omg i can go on forever fucking die perez



  56. 56

    and fuck everyone who says mariah is FAT. it's people like u who make girls starve themselves or throwup their meals. mariah is beautiful and the ppl behind the screens are probably ugly jealous bitches. like perez. shut tthe fuck up



  57. 57

    IT'S GONNA FLOP JUST LIKE THIS ONE DID.

    172,000??? LMAO

    MOOSE NEEDS TO RETIRE.



  58. 58

    SPIN IT ALL YOU WANT.

    THE FAT MOOSE HAS FLOPPED ENORMOUSLY.



  59. 59

    I miss her old stuff….



  60. 60

    How sad now that she is flopping in the USA she has nothing left cause she is nothing outside the US. MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



  61. 61

    Sorry cant agree , I bought the album and its great…. I think it is much better than her last effort…



  62. 62

    Give it up already Mariah..



  63. 63

    love mariah. I like the song, don't know if it'll make any difference by speeding the tempo.



  64. 64

    Madonna's Celebration a Greatest Hits is #7 in the USA and #1 outside the USA unlike Mariah Madonna is a global phenomenon and her fanbase is universal. Mariah's new album is selling so bad it's sad.



  65. 65

    I loved Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel and I'm sure I'll love the remixes as well! And btw, H.A.T.E.U. is a hot song!

    People…this is a failure for her. A major one. Her last two albums sold 400,000 the first week. This time only 170,000+? and she couldn't even beat Whitney Houston who is pretty much crap now? She is over. Doesn't look like much of a corporation now does she. She's so fucking lame. No one cares about her or her son…I mean, husband. She needs to have another breakdown and go away. She's trash!!!!

  76. 76

    I just listened to this album, and I'm not sure what Perez has against Mariah, but it's lame. This album is actually GREAT. I made the mistake of listening to his review before even giving it a chance, but this album is killer, for real.



  77. 77

    Re: Madonna_#1fan_4ever! – Madonna really isn't all she's fucking cracked up to be. Mariah has global success, I'm not sure why the two are being compared. But, if we're going to compare I personally think Mariah writes MUCH better songs, has a MUCH better voice, is WAY better looking (because she doesn't look like a dying 90 year old man), and has actually had far more success than Madonna. Talk about someone that needs to retire, Madonnas old ass is feeding off Britney, Gaga trying everything she can. NOW she has that song out with Lil Wayne, she needs to give it a damn rest.



  78. 78

    LOL@ all the Madonna fans talking shit, but can't admit their girl REALLY laid an egg. "You can't compare a greatest hits to a new CD!!!" ORLY? LOL. Because you know you WOULD be crowing if your girl had outsold Mariah … buuuuut of course she didn't.

    PS: Will there be ANY props from Perez if Mariah manages to DEBUT AT NUMBER #1 next week??? Oh no — only some other triflin way to turn good news into a diss. w/e

    Even if Madonna doesn't like her first week numbers in the United States, she can be satisfied that she has debuted at number one in several countries and worldwide, her greatest hits album is selling through the roof with sales already reported at 2 million. Mariah's Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel has barely made a dent in the charts worldwide.



  83. 83

    i love mariah but the cd is crap. there r only a couple of good songs . she needs to release " ANGELS CRY" as her third song. its a great classic mariah ballad. or "INSEPARABLE".

    Fuck sales, I want to listen to a good album, and with this one, Mariah Delivers.



  87. 87

    all u haters (perez) need too quit this is one her best albums , u guys are fuckin trippin!!! this album is on point and h.a.t.e.u. is a great song but i think up out my face or its a wrap or more than friends shouldcome out next or even angels cry !!!!



  88. 88

    It must be hard for Mariah Carey to look at the first week sales figures of her poorly reviewed Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. According to Hits Daily Double, Mariah will debut behind both Barbra Streisand and Paramore with a brand new studio album that she shamelessly promoted to almost every media outlet. Madonna comes behind at number 7 (Celebration), but with a double disc greatest hits album that has most songs already available on other discs.
    Even if Madonna doesn't like her first week numbers in the United States, she can be satisfied that she has debuted at number one in several countries and worldwide, her greatest hits album is selling through the roof with sales already reported at 2 million. Mariah's Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel has barely made a dent in the charts worldwide. There is a reason for this: Mariah is old, washed up, and dresses like an underweight twenty year old when, in reality, she is an overweight forty year old.



  89. 89

    Mariah should take lessons from Madonna: in order to continually sell records, you need to have at least a small amount of talent. Madonna's voice may only be average, but Mariah's voice has become a technical fingers-on-a-chalkboard disaster. Madonna's songwriting skills shine through on many songs such as "Live to Tell, "Miles Away," and "Like a Prayer." Mariah, on the other hand, sounds like she makes up the lyrics to her songs while she sings them.
    The main reason Madonna is still successful while Mariah's career tanks is touring. Even during one of the worst recessions ever, Madonna can still fill up 50,000+ stadiums in the United States and play to 90,000+ stadiums worldwide. That's because she is an excellent performer who gives her audience what they want. Even non-fans attend Madonna's concerts because they know how great of a performer she is.



  90. 90

    Pooor Cow

    MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



  91. 91

    Mariah…not so much! The stuffed sausage looking singer struggled to fill a 2,000 seat theater in Las Vegas recently. A tour, which was planned last year, was suddenly terminated after Mariah's singles kept bombing. In order to fill seats, Mariah Carey would be better off playing small high school or junior high school auditoriums. This way, she wouldn't be so embarassed.
    There is still hope for Mariah Carey. At this point in her career, she would do really well as a backup singer. This way, her faltering voice wouldn't be so noticeable. She can also become a Vegas lounge act where lipsyncing isn't as frowned upon. Give up already Mariah.



  92. 92

    I work in an upscale department store and that perfume she's representing: "Forever" is major failing. We haven't sold one bottle and it's been out for over a month. :( Smells like Fabreeze. :S



  93. 93

    Ok. I like the album, but HATEU shouldn't be released. It's A Wrap or Angels Cry are the best two ballads on the CD. They should have released one of those. I think Angels Cry would do just as well as We Belong Together (both big memorable ballads). I am really lovin' Up Out My Face too.



  94. 94

    H.A.T.E.U. is awesome!!!
