I'm glad it's charted too because I wasn't expecting it at all until the airplay updates started being tracked (although I wonder what happened re: Top 50 debut prediction!!) Mariah Carey achieves her landmark 50th career hit on the Billboard Hot 100, as her new single, “Type Dangerous,” debuts at No. 95 on the chart dated June 21, 2025. Released June 6, the song starts with 2.5 million official streams, 14.7 million in radio airplay audience and 5,000 sold in the United States in the week ending June 12, according to data tracker Luminate. Carey debuts her first new title on the Hot 100 since “Oh Santa!,” featuring Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson, spent a week on the chart dated Dec. 19, 2020. “Type Dangerous” is her first nonseasonal song to reach the ranking since “I Don’t,” featuring YG, logged a week on the list dated Feb. 25, 2017. “Type Dangerous” is her first non-holiday entry without any billed artists since “Infinity,” on the May 16, 2015, chart. Beyond the Hot 100, “Type Dangerous,” Carey’s first single on gamma., as well as on an independent label (and the latest on her MARIAH imprint), begins at No. 4 on the Digital Song Sales chart, marking her 10th top 10.

Full upload, including Fantasy, Hero, Always Be My Baby, Honey/Heartbreaker (mash-up), Touch My Body and It's Like That: (I'm kind of shook that she did so much walking around the stage unassisted x)

^ The vinyl formats mustn't have sold all that much for it to not make the Top 100 physical chart 💔 Although I see the download managed #68!

Still a bit early for that, the teaser post for Spiceworld 25 happened on 12th July, then we were made to wait until 27th September for the pre-order to go live (lol)

Defrosting in June

Queen of sales! I won’t be holding my breath for it to do any better than this in the UK though. 🥹 As much as I wish it could become a proper hit!

Track 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12: Sabrina Carpenter, Jack Antonoff & Amy Allen Track 2, 7, 10: Sabrina Carpenter, John Ryan, Julian Bunetta & Amy Allen Track 3, 5: Sabrina Carpenter, John Ryan, Ian Kirkpatrick & Amy Allen

I’m pleasantly surprised that she’s moving on to a new era so quickly! Sound-wise, I have faith that the album will showcase some progression as well as familiarity. I know Manchild as a first taste isn’t moving the dial, but maybe she’s easing us in with a surefire/tried and tested sound. Or maybe the album will end up being Short n Sweet Part 2

I think she still sounds recognisably like herself in the song (the Mariah-isms are distinctive!). At least, following on from how her vocals sounded like on the remixes of yes, and / Made for Me / Big Energy, her most recent recordings. Plus this: I think it’s just how her vocals sound now, at 56. Voices certainly change with age and her last “proper” music is from 7 years ago! I think the most notable difference is that she isn’t overusing melisma on this track. She’s taken a more straight forward approach. I’d argue she’s less processed sounding on Type Dangerous than on a lot of Caution tracks tbh (that’s no shade to Caution).

I love the video, it’s so fun! Looks like it would have been expensive too - that’s a lot of different set ups. Easily one of the best I’ve seen this year. For me this is a case of the music video helping to elevate the song. I found Manchild to be cute on first listen, but I’m properly into it now. I hope it holds on to #1! I’m also not yearning for her to move on from this sound yet. It’s not even been a full year since Short n Sweet… so I’m happy for her to continue playing around with this sound/vibe.

The lyrics are so amusing... it's so Mariah! In other news, Mariah is now signed to gamma. - it's the first time in her career that she's not signed to a major label! Full article here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jabariyoung/2025/06/05/larry-jackson-gamma-mariah-carey-album-mc16-type-dangerous/

Omg it's fire Welcome back Mariah

The description in the 'Sweet' music video reveals that "the debut mini album will be released on 27th June 2025"! I'm guessing that's another way of saying EP, I'll change the tag if that proves to be the case. The title and the number of songs isn't known yet. I'm excited to hear more songs from them! It's released the day before their appearance at SM Town Live in London, so that should mean a longer set. Fingers crossed that there'll be a physical release (for mine and @JosephBoone's collections x)

Video premiere at 10am BST

Wasn't sure whether to use this topic or make a new one for 'Wicked: For Good', but decided to post in here. Trailer!

It's out! Did anyone here order it?

Just one more week to go until its release!

Preview!

So I ended up getting a copy on eBay a few days ago 😆 It cost about the same as from her store, so thankfully didn’t overspend! Thank you for the notification though 🥰

It's finally time for MC16 😭

Previously unreleased song from The Emancipation of Mimi, included on the 20th anniversary edition!

Ooh I certainly know what I'll be doing on Boxing Day and New Year's Day without fail! Volume 1 - 4 episodes Volume 2 - 3 episodes Final - 1 episode I'm kind of relieved they're dividing it up, hopefully makes it more digestible than the previous season.

Looking gorgeous
