The sales of Mariah Carey‘s last album ‘Memoirs’ may have been a nightmare, yet that hasn’t deterred the diva from re-teaming with the main culprit behind it, The-Dream.
Turning her attention from the media spectacle of her feud with Nicki Minaj, the American Idol Judge is putting her energy into her upcoming studio album – which according to her manager Randy Jackson is due next March.
As per the Twitter pic Mimi shared above, The-Dream is the latest to join the All-Star cast of hitmakers assembled for the as yet untitled project. Other names confirmed to be involved include Jermaine Dupri, Bryan Michael Cox, and No ID.
*********
While we’re inclined to side-eye ol’ Mimi for this (it didn’t work the last time, why should it now), we’ll embrace our fair and unbias nature by waiting to hear the material first.
The largely Dream produced ‘Memoirs’ may have been a ‘Triumphant’ flop (much like her last single), yet the pair can still boast of chart-topping success together in the form of ‘Touch My Body’. That said, that track – for all its success – was also mess. So color us confused. Here’s hoping Mimi and Terius can come up with something that’ll help understand why they’re together again.
Awwww
I thought TGJ rather have “Quality” over “Quantity”
Sam, you’re always contradicting yourself….. ;[[[[[[[[
He only says that when it is in regards, to that smelly old fat, Riat Ora
So ready for more Mariah music
Oh God ! I’m a bit worried, i thought they were never gettin back together after her fans almost killed him via Tweets about ruinin her music and so on . I’m actually excited , come on Mimi , I want new music !
Sam, u say Memoirs sales are a nightmare? It went platinum quicker than some other artists albums (that u stan hard for)
Yea her new music sucks. She’s trying to get back to her black side. Uh na..Her time has come and gone lol
Do I see a buldge! What are they really doing in the studio!
Oh Lawd Mariah NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I want you to have a successful comeback, not struggle. Be aware The Dream saves all the good stuff for Beyonce. Everything else he’s done for other artists all FLOPPED
Not TRUE REMEMBER UMBRELLA!!!! SOLD MORE THAN SINGLE LADIES!!! MARIAH WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN BEYONCE!!
Memoirs wasnt a flop era
Memoirs Sales US – 500,000 +
Obsessed – platinum sales
Top 10 Hot 100
#1 Dance
I want to know what love is was also a minor hit.
This Site Stay Hating
i want to know what love is spent the most weeks at #1 in brazil and it was international hit but in the us it didnt perform well
Memoirs did 1.6 million copies worldwide..show me an artist that can pull those numbers with their 12th album in the current climate..The Dream produced Angels Cry as well which shits on anything your faves ever did qualitywise…Irony in attacking Touch My Body and praising Run The World (dream produced that too)…At the end of the day Mimi still remains the most successful female singer-songwriter in music history…I TOO WISH MY OTHER FAVES BRANDY AND KELLY ROWLAND CAN PULL HALF MEMOIRS NUMBERS..MARIAH GOING NOWHERE #DEALWITHIT
agree with everything
though she does need to change it up a little
like to see her work with the below
alicia keys, emile sande, diane warren
james poyser
Um…1.6 million WW isn’t good. Holla back when she does 10 million WW again. 1.6 is a joke.
B**** please as many years in the game and many awards and grammy she has to her name she don’t have to sell nobody’s 10 million WW. she’s done that countless times already before so please keep it f*%#!in cute and have a seat. Select a row and motherf*%#! pick one

I repeat…1.6 million WW and a mere Gold certification is f****** flop…especially for an artist of her supposed caliber. I don’t care how many times she’s had hit albums previously. For as long as she’s signed to a recording contract, it’s her JOB to sell millionS of albums CURRENTLY. Don’t nobody give a s*** about what she did “countless times already.” If she can’t continue to cut the mustard, then she needs to record independently or retire.
You need to sit your stupid a** down. Beyonce’s album only went platinum. Mariah has sold more albums than just about every artist. She has sold so many albums it doesn’t make no sense. “Memoirs” was no flop. All of her albums are certified. Her lowest selling albums have outsold all of the flops on this site.
@EJR43 HONEY BE GONE BYE BYE as i stated before Mariah doesn’t have to sell 10 million worldwide. The only person doing that right now is Adele so please sit and shut f*** up. She only has one gold album the rest of her albums are platinum and above. So i type now and i type again SHE DONT HAVE TO SELL MILLIONS EVEN IF SHE IS SIGNED TO A CONTRACT SHE ALREADY MADE HER MARK N BROKE HER RECORDS !!!!!!!!!! SO HAVE A SEAT A PROCEED TO ROW 4 SEAT NUMBER 12. ENJOY THE SHOW

B**** please have someone peer edit your articles
What a tacky ass picture
The Dream? Im a bit iffy about these two working together.
Lets hope this song will be a radio killa!
I’m so over some stupid People showing their Money into the camera. What’s the point of it? I’m Not going to buy someones record because of it. Why should i? You have enough money, haven’t you?
B**** if you aint shitting get off the pot *Roman Zolanski’s voice*
Mooriah guuuuuuuuurl! If you aint making no hits and good music you better hang it up very soon *side eye MC*
B**** PLEASE MARIAH SLAYSSSSSSSS ANYTHING BEY DOES!! AND MARIAH IS A LEGEND!! BEYFLOP WILL NEVA BE A LEGEND!!! AND MARIAH WROTE 95% OF HER 18 NUMBER 1’S SO SHE IS SHITS ON BEYFLOP ALL DAY!!!!
Boo you’re so obsessed with Bey stick to the topic and Diamonds hasn’t sold two million in a week cause she would be #1 on Billboard and iTunes
Mariah won’t leave the music scene anytime soon, it’s in her blood to make music. Plus, she’s still anticipated to break the Beatles record and so on. I graciously await all of the above and for her to get a ‘3rd Song of the Decade’ that just might as well top ‘One Sweet Day’! Mmmkay!
Mimi <3 <3 <3 🙂
i love Mariah xoxo
Mariah needs some Walter A., David Foster and Diane Warren. Her music has been down the drain since she parted ways with Walter A.
Girl now look at the charts and tell me when was the last time Foster and Warren had a hit. It goes like this the music Mariah was doing with them when she first came out would not get played today because the music game has changed.Back then it was more about the quality and now it seems more about who has the best hook.
Diane Warren and David Foster didn’t keep up with the times and are still trying to get singers to record the dated, bland ballads they wrote under the delusion it’s still 1994.
Doesn’t matter. Warren and Foster’s ballads were always exemplary A-scale quality and did a good job of showcasing the singers actual talent. Their material is timeless and has a place any year. F*** this silly fist pumping dance music that any no-talent off the street can “sing”, simply because the emphasis isn’t on talent…but rather generic dance-y production.
Too bad her voice declined. The way I see it this era Probably some good songs (hopefully better than flopumphant) but painful performances. Putting the shade aside and being serious, I really don’t want her to lip synch so that her delusional stans can say her voice is still strong and blah blah blah but it might save her humiliation cuz those vocals at the triumphant performance…omg. And that’s good for her she’s working on another album. Just hope she knows what she’s doing. Give us more songs like obsessed and honey.
Everything but that Dream’s boner. lol
Anyway, Mariah can’t do no wrong in my eyes and ears.
Can’t wait to hear it.
‘Mariah can’t do no wrong in my eyes and ears.’
Exactly, co-sign!
Seriously more of the same s***? c’mon! give us Walter A get over it already Mariah!
Cant Wait!
lol @ the dream lil cack being the highlight x_x but they had some cute tracks together tho!
The Dream cannot arrange for Mariah’s voice -_-
He does prince-esque, Ciara, Electrik Red, wispy vocals, not vocal tunes
She needs some JD!
I hope she leaves the dream alone I hope this is just a song that doesn’t make it on the album she needs to work with the ppl that she worked on emancipation of Mimi with which is jd kanye James poyner Nelly all of them because that CD was really diverse e=mc2 and memoirs sounds like the same album with only two good songs on them which is I wish you well I stay in love and I want to know what love is and languishing but her Xmas CD was really great it sounded like emancipation Xmas! I hope Mariah will bring it this time I’m sure she will have a lot of good inspiration tracks she always does on every CD she released even if it is underperformed by her standards 2013 is really gonna be that year so many ppl are releasing albums especially r&b acts
The sales of Mariah Carey‘s last album ‘Memoirs’ may have been a nightmare, yet that hasn’t deterred the diva from re-teaming with the main culprit behind it, The-Dream.
Mariah has sold 200 million records ww, she can flop all she wants, i don’t think she care about album sales anymore, when you get to that level, you don’t need to worry about album sales, she is still here because Music is her passion, she enjoy what she does, no crazy about The-Dream work, he is too predictable for my taste but Mimi will do the rest.
touch my body , a mess??? go f yourself TGJ!! whats the point of shading a legend though? this won’t hurt her career! she has already proved it all!!! no one cares about your stupid opinion! you lovee to stan for people like rita ora… but shades one of the greatest female singers of all time??? i don’t even know why i’m commenting!
Memoirs went gold thus making it not a flop……….. Again nothing but a hater…..
Since when is GOLD (a measly 500k) anything to be proud of? Gold is poor. An album ain’t a hit unless it’s MULTI-PLATINUM.
YET when other ppl go gold y’all consider it “flopping?”
Name five r&b artist right now that have a multiplatinum album. They are all struggling to go gold. It was a decent sized hit, for a women that has such massive success.
its clear that sales and certifications arent mariahs main priority anymore. she is a songwriter and producer who loves her job, shes just making music she likes with this album
Wtf? The-Dream? No! I want Mariah to work with people that bring the best in her (i.e. B.C**, JD, etc). I hope its just one song…I can’t wait for a new song!
Surprised to see her working with The Dream. But it doesn´t matter, she has worked with a lot of people this time aroung (R Kelly just 2 weeks ago). The bad thing about The Dream is that she worked with him in each and every song of the Memoirs album
I can´t wait for her album. 2010 Xmas album was all kinds of spectacular
Hope she collaborates with James “Big Jim” Wright again…FLY LIKE A BIRD is one of my favorite MC jams right up alongside ANYTIME YOU NEED A FRIEND,NEVER FORGET YOU,WHENEVER YOU CALL & CAN’T TAKE THAT AWAY….I can’t wait for new mariah music
she did on R&b divas he said he was recently working with her n they wrote a hit in 6 mins. i hope it makes the album i wanna hear it
There were actually some very good tracks on Memoirs.. Not sure who produced but probably Tricky/Dream… songs like “Candy Bling” “Ribbon” “It’s A Wrap” “Inseperable”, and even “Up Out My Face”.. really GO.. there are some gems on that album.. it was cohesive, but just felt too samey.. I felt she wasn’t using her voice to it’s full capability, but It may be that her newer “limited” vocals don’t sound all that good with the dream’s style.. I figured JD could have her slay again after hearing the song “100%”, but they have let me down already.. “Triumphant” was lukewarm.
The songs sound good, its just that they all sound the same. this will be his 3rd album producing for her. She needs sounds !
NEW *
“It’s A Wrap” “Ribbon” “Hate U” “Obssesed” “Angels Cry” “Up Out My Face” sounds nothing alike. It’s called having a cohesive album…
Oh…… 0_o
the n***** have a boner already , what those 2 are doing in the studio ?
Anyway , i wanna see slaying from MC , and the only thing i liked so far was the music video for that Lead single ” Triumphant” !!!!
If that really is a boner, I wonder what Nick will think about that haha!
I don’t mind her working with The Dream again, they did create TMB together. So we just have to wait and see how this new song turns out.
TMB” was a cool and catchy song. There was nothing wrong with it. You know u are biased when u have to keep making mention of it. Sam if your ugly a** don’t appreaite this great artist, then why do u keep talking about her. U act like a little b***h. You’re mad for nothing. Get over yourself. This fool can’t say nothing about Mariah wuthout hating it’s pathetic. Tell Kelly R. Melanie F. and Garbaj Minaj to move some real units. U try to make the slightest things they do sound epic. No offense to them. May’be Mariah is just doing a track or two to see what comes oout of this session. Sam always digresses. All he had to say was that they were working together. Mariah’s voice is phenomenal. Her “Triumphant” performance was not nearly what a few of u were saying it was. You also got thi pic from “ThelavalL”. Get your own material.
22 years in the game and still relevant+$18 million to judge AI+2nd best selling female artist of all time+ $500 million net worth= MC SH*TS ON YOUR FAVES AND EVERY HATER ON THIS BLOG post
TGJ and the haters can all stay pressed, continue to shade yet fawn over MC’s every single move and have several seats while pressing replay on the uncharted The Boys single
Sam, your a hatin ass biter b****. go get you some d*** and quit hatin on everyone. What you got against mariah anyway? someone is a jealous flamer
