Her fans had hoped for its release this year.
However, in a conversation with Billboard.Com, Mariah Carey‘s manager Randy Jackson has revealed that the icon has eyed March 2013 for the launch of the long awaited project.
Full story below…
Excerpt from Billboard’s ‘Why Mariah Carey Released Three Version Of Triumphant Single’:
Previewing the multiple versions of the single — co-written and co-produced by Carey, Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox — reveals the diversity of musical genres expected on her untitled 14th album, tentatively due in March 2013. According to Carey manager Randy Jackson, releasing the three different versions of “Triumphant” speaks to her ability to cater to multiple audiences and radio formats.
Confirming ‘Triumphant’s status as a buzz single, here’s hoping the decision to release the LP in 2013 doesn’t eliminate the buzz it was set to enjoy had it been launched this year.
In saying that, with a number of projects lined up for release in that year, Camp Mimi could be readying a media onslaught which will see her push her upcoming movie and LP at the same time. Thus, killing two birds with one promo stone.
On the flip side, one does have to wonder why she needs so long to complete the project when she’s been teasing fans with it since 2011.
She’s going to release it on her birthday.
*anniversary
😐 her BIRTHDAY
Thank you my dear for knowing that Mariah Refurs to her day of birth as her “Anniversary” Not “BIRTHDAY”!!!
O yayssss! the queen will slay hopefully
Hopefully she’ll head back to the studio and record a hit single and let trimphant be a buzz single.
YAAAAS MARIAH IS ABOUT TO SLAY UR LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!! XOXO #TheRealVocalBible!!!!
MARIAH CAREY = QUEEN OF MUSIC>>>>
yes your right,the Queen of Music Mariah Carey,we should spread this title of hers all over the world!
She is releasing stuff too early then. I’m an album buyer not a singles buyer. By the time March rolls around most of the songs will be out.
This is just an advanced single for the fans…
The song is now a buzz single because of the reaction of the people, it’s not a good song as i say and the reason why they are thinking in 2013 for the album it’s because they probably would give her new songs.
Not exactly true, if Mariah did indeed turn it into a buzz single she could still release a new song in sep/oct and have the album out by nov/dec also Mariah doesn’t just ‘receive’ songs, she creates them.
Deal with it.
Give her new songs?????? haha please. You are probably thinking about Rihanna or Britney, or even madonna 🙂
JohnVidal.
They give her songs too, don’t be silly.
You wrote the absolute truth!
I saw this coming! Let’s asks ourselves why would she release an album before her stint on American Idol? All that exposure & publicity would be great for an album campaign so i saw this coming but I think it’s a great decision.
EXACTLY
Yes it was obvious!
I hope Mariah knows thats when Rihanna next album comes, I mean, Rihanna past three albums have sold 180k, 207k and 198k in the first week. Didn’t Mariah’s last album stuggle to go gold?
I’m pretty sure she probably doesn’t give a s***. They cater to completely different audiences. People who like real music, and people who eat up microwave songs that a certain ‘singer’ has written for her.
co-sign
Rihanna’s albums loud and rated r are much less “Microwave pop music” then FlopRiahs trumphiant (gimmick em)
Rihanna is not a treat to anyone b****, she’s not even a treat to herself! Mariah has 6 #1 albums, Rihanna has yet to get ONE #1 album in 6 tries. Sit you dumb ass down R******… _/
LoL, Rhitard.. I agree Mariahs untouchable..
lol listing Rihanna’s last 3 album deputes….this is Rihanna’s PRIME, she should be selling like hell. Lol trying to compare Rihanna’s and Mariah’s album sells, b**** don’t you know Mariah outsells Rihanna’s 6 album sells with just one album…Mariah’s last album went gold in the U.S. while Rihanna hasn’t reached platinum with TTT…stfu
Mariahs last was released it 09, ttt in late 11′
I dont care bout Mariahs overalll sales, stop changingthe subject because you know Im right!
B****, no one is changing the subject lets see if Rihanna can be remembered 10 years from now let alone have been certified gold. You act like they have been in the business the same amount of time. Rihanna has been in the business 6-7 years while Mimi has been in the business 22 years…b**** if your are going to compare then compare them when they were the same age and same time they have been in the business…..come back to me when Rihanna has 6#1 album, 18 #1 singles, longest running #1 single, sold over 200 + million albums (best female selling artist), as much wealth, talent, and accomplished…. do you know when this will happen R******? NEVER it is NEVER going to happen.
MC, whats with all the b**** comments, your not impressing anyone with that language, and you making yourself sound like your 12yrs old, if you are over 21 yrs of age, you should be embarrassed!
I like Rihanna but do you know, but didn,t she sing a Mariah song and f*** up every note, SORRY BUT YOU NEED TO TO HUMBLE YOURSELF before you diss and ICON

AND YOU WANNA DISS MARIAH CAREY, DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://youtu.be/qLhws70jL10
Rihanna has a nice………………….Studio Voice, cause I was definitely not about to say live. Last year I took my girlfriend to see the Loud Tour for her birthday and the vocals were so bad we left…………AFTER 45 minute. THAT WAS MY FIRST AND LAST TIME I BOUGHT A TICKET TO SEE Rihanna STRUGGLE.
*Reads all the reviews about how great it was*
I totally beleive you!
Leave it to a Mariah stan to wave around chart positions. SIT YOUR 1996 ass down. All that matters is final sales and certifications. Mariah’s last 2 albums didn’t go to #1 and struggled to go GOLD. And not to mention Glitter and Charmbracelet missed #1 and –again- struggled to go PLATINUM. Take away the Emancipation of Mimi and 2 lead single “Touch My Body” and “Obsessed” and everything else. EVERYTHING ELSE from Mariah in the past decade has been a bomb and a flop. SO DON’T ACT LIKE MIMI IS SLAYING because of what she did in the 90’s. I can’t anymore
“Mariah’s last 2 albums”, b**** E=mc^2 was certified platinum and debuted #1 on the charts and had her 18 #1 single (touch my body). memoirs struggled, yet “Obessed” was certified platinum and the album was vertified gold….y’all just act like Rihanna will be remember 10 years from now….
And b**** if you can’t then that means you shouldn’t go on the Rihanna gets droped from Nivea and post how “wonderful” and “talented” she is….lol
E=MC2 ac Actually was a multimillion selling album!
LoL How can you take away the emancipation of mimi? The album sold more than Rihanna’s last three albums combined! LoL Combined!
No it didn’t, it actually sold nearly 550k, with a top10 hit. Isn’t Rihanna’s album thats been out forever struggling to go platinum with a huge number one hit single, and another top ten single…
OH so now Rihanna is a big seller STRUGGLING to go PLATINUM? Get your standards straight. Yal come for Rihanna like her first album sold 10 million. Rihanna’s sales are consistent. She has huge single sales and average album sale, always has. You Mariah stans are the one’s OBSESSED with every song going to #1 and very album going to #1 and selling 5 million copies because of some s*** Mariah did 15 years ago. Mariah can’t move singles and now she can’t move albums so sit down. BTW How is “Triumphant” doing? And it’s 3… 4…. 5 versions that now being labeld a “Buzz” single like everyone predicted
Are u Rihanna fans retarded for real???????? Your basic girl gets slayed so easily I can´t understand how u dare to comment about artists like Mariah Carey. Her last album first week sales are almost Rihanna´s first week sales, and it was like her 13th album or so after 20 years in the business. You talking about Mariah albums failing to reach #1??? Her last one did Rihnna´s first week numbers and no it didn´t go #1 but the previous one did with impressive 450,000 copies first week. I mean, seriously, leave it, your girl is a huge flop after all the hype and the producers invested in her again and again. She is just a popularity w**** queen, and not for the right reasons
Thanks for your opinion, but read my comment again and tell me how that applies.
they are actually stupid or Rihtarded to be more specific….everyone is above this talentless h** and her Nazy I mean Navy stans. They can’t handle it what with being dropped from endorsements and failing at life…
198k & ur bragging about Rihanna sales?? LMFAOOOO
FAF your an anti Rihanna troll who stays lying about shi Loud has sold more copies worldwide than FLOP MINAJ has with all her albums, mixtapes and anything else.
Makes sense and a smart move on her part b/c American idol will be on around that time
“Buzz single”? Is that a nice way of saying “FLOP”?
Not really, the album is nowhere near complete. The song hasn’t even gone for adds at radio…
yet it was launched in an EPIC campaign. The press conference leaked, honey. We know IDJ was hyping this as FIRE, a banger. The NEW MARIAH CAREY SINGLE. Please.
smart move on her part, i liked triumphant and have always been a lamb, but it was NOT cutting it as a lead single, i found obsessed more satisfying which is saying something as this was meant to be her emancipation-esque comeback. sigh roll on 2013 i guess… *hits play on memoirs album*
Why soooooo long Mariah? You have me becoming impatient already. I hope she decides to move it up to January. I think a little delay is probably good though. She’s trying to perfect her material instead of releasing rushed subpar music unlike a lot of music artists these days.
Nobody releases albums in January. That’s after Christmas, when no one is interested in shopping. The only albums that come out during that period are the ones labels have no faith in and expect to flop.
I don’t think there was ever a plan to release it any earlier, regardless of Triumphant’s success or lack of. Mariah always release albums around March/Aprill time – and obviously she’d want to tie it in with American Idol. I don’t see why anyone should be surprised by this, or think it’s been ‘pushed back.
Thank God. I hope they RETHINK that s***. Triumphant is horrible. I love MC, always have., But, that damn song is horrid.
Death.
They release a new single on August and album on March?
that’s the label’s strategy these days?
what they will really get is the audiences to get tired of waiting for their faves.
7 months to build hype is to kill it at the same time.
Good luck Mariah. I liked Triumphant
I mean I think it was fairly obvious that “Triumphant” was being set up as a “buzz” single, in my opinion. First, how in the hell was she going to go out there and fully promote the song? Was she going to go out on “The View” and sing her 2-minutes worth of a part from the song? She can’t drag Rick Ross and Meek Mill to every performance and her part of the song isn’t substantial enough to sing it alone. It’s obivious they did this as a way to reintroduce her to the market before the media onslaught that she’s set to receive with “Idol”…..by March they’ll be into the “live” segments of the show and you can bet your bottom dollar she’s gonna be performing on “Idol” like every night of the week selling that album lmao it’s a smart business move to release in March.
lol that is true I wondered how she was going to perform this song….
LOOOOL LONG ASS BREAKS FOR THE RAPS & THEN ENTER HER WHISTLE REGISTER FOR A COUPLE MINS..
@FAF lol you are killing me! I imagined it to be like that too…lol
“Buzz single,” my ass. There’s no such thing as a “buzz single” today. “Triumphant” is taken directly from her album and was commercially released — which makes it the official FIRST single. The only way it can be a “buzz single” is if she decides to delete it from the albums tracklist (and her doing that would look pitiful on her end — like she conceded to the poor reception of the song and is trying to escape it.)
Mariah must do a epic hit!!!! She is great girl!!! Taker your time!
SMH. Then they truly are f****** stupid. They got folks all buzzed then dropped that BOMB on America that is “Triumphant.” Then they completely bipass the holiday season and instead opt for a cop-out “There’s no competition and we want a #1 album with low debut sales just to say she has another #1 album”
I can’t. I can’t roll my eyes enough at the handling of this project. American Idol will have been on for months by the time her album is released, and by then it will be all about the Top 10 contestants, not new Mariah music. Why they aren’t
They should already have had a 2nd single prepped and released 2 weeks before the album comes out. They need to have the new Mariah album out the week before Black Friday, get her first week sales, then put the album on sale the week of Black Friday and have a smaller 2nd week decrease. Ride the album thru the holidays with a 2nd single then debut Mariah’s new 3rd single and video THE FIRST LIVE SHOW on American Idol. The 3rd single should be a remix version to boost its sales. She can perform it live on American Idol a few weeks later. THIS Should be the big inspirational ballad single perfect for AI (Triumphant?)
WHY they released a single from an album EIGHT MONTHS before it’s out when the album isn’t even finished I’ll never know. They should have never released the pile of crap “Triumphant” unless it was JUST MARIAH and her vocals over a piano and maybe a light percussion. That TIRED ASS JD track is whack as hell. Did they think it was gonna build hype? It’s done nothing but disappoint an slightly tarnish the era already. #80 on iTunes and not even a week out. No performances. WHAT THE F*** ARE THEY DOING?
YOU SOUND DUMB, THE LIVE SHOWS OF AMERICAN IDOL WIL JUST BE STARTING AROUND THAT TIME, THATS WHEN CELEBS PERFORM, ON THE LIVE SHOWS! SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE’S DOING IT WAS OBVIOUS AS HELL THAT THIS PROJECT WASN’T GOING TO BE OUT UNTIL NEXT YEAR, IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT TRIUMPHANT WAS A BUZZ SINGLE PERIOD, YOU DON’T KNOW S*** WHICH IS WHY YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE DECISION MAKING LOL
Are some of u idiots or what…. She had only completed about seven songs She didn’t ever give a concrete date of when the album would come out. Her fans just wanted a single from her. .
I agree that it was obvious it was going to be released when Idol begins, not before. Pretty obvious. No change of plans here. She has to complete the album (they said like two weeks ago, seven songs are in, not the whole project). She has also a tv performance in the coming weeks from what I´ve read
It seems this project is finally well prepared, not like the 2 previous ones, which were rushed when the girl didn´t have finished the damn album
Promo is going to be more on point this time
She has been filming her part on new Lee Daniels movie too. It all makes sense
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
First it was #MCSummer2012
Then they kept teasing with pictures, lyrics, then clips
Then the press release about how “Carey is currently in the studio, writing, recording and executive-producing her next album for Island Def Jam Music Group, with the lead single, ‘Triumphant.'”
Then you have Mariah on Twitter BEGGING people to buy her new single on iTunes.
Now, after being out roughly a week and getting SUCH bad reception, they’re labeling it as a buzz single and you STANS are coming up with every excuse in the book. I can’t. SMH. LORD THE DELUSIONS! When Gaga, Rihanna, and BeYAWNce pulled this THEY NEVER HEARD THE END OF IT. When Rihanna’s “You Da One” and “Talk that Talk” were flopping…. the SCORN! And when Bey’s Un4tunate singles were flopping the s*** yal talked and when Gaga’s “Judas” was flopping yal tried it. You Mariah stans talk some S*** based on what Mimi did 15 years ago.
You are the only one pressed at what Mariah does or did in teh past. If u couldn´t smell the album was going to be released when AI is on (first part of 2013) then you are not too smart hun. When did Mariah fans said anything about Bey flops or Judas or whatever? Mariah fans in general? How is that when I like Gaga for example? You are trying to start s*** that don´t exist on this post. Maybe you are to used to live in Rihanna and that type of models posts. We are not here for Rihanna and Beyonce stans who troll every single post here on TGJ. Get a life all of you and grow up
The single came out this summer… So technically she did drop something. I’m more concerned as to why Beyonce is shooting a video in Aug 2012 to a song from an album that’s a year old… S.P.A.I.F. = self promotion at its finest .. Charity my ass.
mariah do sth different that boring R”N”B again!!!!gosh!!
That pic of Mariah is so damn beautiful!
I swore I made a comment about her competition for the number one spot and I had to get like 10 full essays on how Mariah’s carey was so much more sucsessful then Rihanna’s.
What does that have to do with hitting the number one spot during March 2013?
Since you are stupid I’ll explain things very SLOWLY to you….here we go: You implied in your post the Rihanna was a treat to Mariah by saying and I quote “I hope Mariah knows thats when Rihanna next album comes, I mean, Rihanna past three albums have sold 180k, 207k and 198k in the first week. Didn’t Mariah’s last album stuggle to go gold?”
It is obvious that you don’t think about what you are writing or your English translator is really off. You need to understand that Rihanna, like I said earlier, is not a treat to anyone let alone a legend like Mariah. Rihanna is talentless and that is well known okay? Alright…..Phew done hopefully your astounding small brain could comprehend that, if not then I don’t think anyone can help you….
Talent does not equal album sales, all of Rihanna’s have killed MOOOOOOOOOOORIAH’s ;last in sales and its pathetic. Rihanna will outsell MAFLOPPA again!
lol! Mariah’s is the best selling female artist…..I will now go on and list people who outsell Rihanna:
1: Mariah
2:Whitney
3:Madonna
.
750: Beyonce
.
.
.
2502105050505:Katy Perry
2502105050506: Justin Bieber
2502105050507: Chris Brown
.
.
.
EVERY F****** BODY IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY EXCEPT KARI HILSON, CIARA, AND RITA ORA —-notice these people are struggling and/or don’t have an album out
So you admit that RIhanna has no talent. Good to see her fans are starting to wake up to her “skills,” or lack thereof.
You list is false. Chris is nowhere near outselling her and never was. Beyonce was beaten down worldwide by #TTT and Madonna fell off the charts after 9 weeks GOODFUCKINGBYE!
@Benron (Frank SideHoeShit is whack) the say Rihanna outsells Madonna, Beyonce, Mariah, Whitney, etc… in overall sales is the day it is proven that Al Gore really did invent the internet…..do you know when this will happen, honey boo boo Rihtarded child? NEVER it is NEVER going to happen….Goodbye stupid basic b**** (like the person you stan for) lol
why because she wants it perfect and let her take her time!! and she is a mother guys and she’s doing idol thats too much work!! perfromances interviews promo for album music videos and then come on idol 2 or 3 times a weeks and then try to see her kids…i know some ppl who just can’t wait to get back to work after 3 or 4 months of “birth”…if anything im excited about the whole randy jackson collaboration though i do like that “subtle invitation” arrangement!! im loving how organized she is with her team!
Has anyone heard the new rita ora song called “Falling in love” omg i love it!!!
Correction has anyone heard the new rita ora song called “Fall in love” with Will I Am?? slaying!!
Excuses. If “Triumphant” had skyrocketed to #1 on iTunes and if radio was all over it, Mariah would be rushing to have this album out by the Xmas shopping season. They expected the song to do better than this, and were NOT aiming for March after the first singles August release. But since the song is flopping, now she’s taking her time, pondering what to do next and eying a release date that is over half a year away. Please.
The phoniness of Mariah Carey never fails to amaze me.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she were having calls with RedOne, Dr. Luke, Calvin Harris, Max Martin, Swedish House Mafia and every other tacky dance music producer that is hot right now to reconstruct this album to conform to current hit standards so that she won’t have to live down another flop.
Billboard officially saying that this is just a Buzzing Single people!! this single is to hype up the MC Summer to all her fans while she ongoing making a new record and she even mention that she doesn’t want this single to cross over the official chart she just be truth to herself as she love making HIP HOP and R&B song and this is not the first time she did that she has been working with numerous of rappers since the Fantasy Remix and further more Triumphant even though doesn’t crack the top 30 but still it a Smash Hit in all over the country #1 in All over Asia in 8 Country and it not a FLOPP!! but who know after the video premiere next week the single will rise on the US Itune chart and Billboard chart we will never know what going to happen next week and never under estimate the wonder of MARIAH CAREY.
Notice how nothing is ever a “buzz single” until it under performs? “Buzz SIngle” is the most disingenuous and pathetic term in the music business. Sorry, but your “buzz single” is counted amongst the rest of them. Calling it that after it flops doesn’t save you face.
Biting Truth – Read and Learn
It’s almost been a week since Mariah Carey released her latest single, “Triumphant (Get ‘Em)”. While the single successfully labels itself as an inspirational tune, I can’t help but notice the overwhelming negativity that surrounds it, especially those coming from review websites and a few of the lambs. It seems that everyone wants Mariah to release something worthy of a No. 1 Hit, be it on the Billboard charts or wherever.
It’s true that being able to hit the top spot would be a yardstick to Mariah’s popularity in the industry, and I really do commend Team Asia for bringing Mariah to the top on iTunes (I bought my single too!), but at this stage of her career, I don’t think chart performance is everything. If any, it’s an added bonus, and the publicity could even help her spread her music. The reason why I say her chart performance is not important anymore is because we all need to focus on the music she makes.
Take the latest single for example. Yes, it imparts a different feel unlike her past extensive catalogues, but the meaning behind the song is inspiring and empowering. However, listeners have been harping on the fact that it won’t score on the charts, to the extent that it downplays the song’s intention as an inspirational single. It’s disappointing when we realise how superficial the industry has become, even more so when the essence of the music is being ignored.
Coming from a lifelong fan of Mariah’s music, all that matters to me now is her musical endeavour (which includes her A+Mazing voice). Honestly, I enjoy “Triumphant (Get ‘Em)” and I’m equally captivated by the powerful remixes.
And despite what the reviews and haters have to say, I still believe in her music and artistry. Just remember, when it comes from her heart, it does not disappoint. That’s her unparalleled artistic integrity.

…And the Mariah stans STAY PRESSED everyone is spilling T on the new lead single ahem excuse me BUZZ SINGLE. POW
We’re you born stupid, or did someone drop you on your head?
Aw look it’s trying to read. PRECIOUS. Keep your seat warm b****
Buzz shmuzz. If Triumphant were burning up the charts, they wouldn’t be calling it no damn “BUZZ SINGLE”, so kill that noise.
And if March was when they were eyeing a release date then why in the hell would they put out the first single…yes, FIRST SINGLE….in August? F*****’ 8 months prior. Probably because they planned to put the album out before the end of the year. But now that the FIRST SINGLE has been met with a cold reception and probably won’t even crack the top 40, my guess is that they are basically reworking and rerecording the whole thing.
Yeah, lets see how true Mariah stays to her word about reviving R&B. I have a feeling her sound is about to become noticeably poppier.
Aw shut the bull crap!! Ppl want so much from mariah its disturbing like ppl what more does she have to prove to you that she’s the best!! Why would she care about #1 hits when she has 18 of em and why would she care about record sales when she sold 200 million!! And another note its her LEAD single if it wasn’t she wouldn’t have done a music video for it and also release a CD of remixes of it next week! Y’all some dumb asses some of y’all just need to not do anything business or anything related to music because most of y’all have bad ears and I blame it on today’s generation its sad one of y’all might be a record executive and only think about relevancy and quantity over quality smh
She needs to come harder then Triumph. I feel she released way too early, wait til she appears on American Idol and use that as a vechile to push and promote her Cd. It did wonder for Jennifer Lopez and Steve Tyler.
Hi, David! Can I use Mariah’s photo in my project? I’m converting it into a cross stitch pattern and sell it. Hope you reply very soon! Thank you!
P.S. She looks stunning in that photo! <3
