Mariah Carey sent the music industry into quite the frenzy this week when she confirmed that she’s planning to serve up her 14th studio album as a “surprise”. Borrowing a page from Beyonce’s book, the singer’s team revealed that the LP’s title, artwork, and music will all be released digitally on the same day, at the same time – in an “all at once” capacity.
However, unsurprisingly, it has now been announced that the project will not be impacting on May 6th – as previously announced.
Details below…
The revelation comes courtesy of Billboard – whose exclusive interview with the diva hits newsstands on Monday.
During the intriguing feature, the industry juggernaut explicitly states that the album is now due for release in “late May”.
*********
Though not the longest wait, it’ll no doubt come as quite the blow for the 44-year-old’s legions of Lambs (fans) – who’ve been anticipating the supposedly completed project since its first “lead” single ‘Triumphant’ impacted in 2012.
Still, in being fair to ol’ Mimi; having stretched the process out this long, we doubt a couple of extra weeks will dramatically sway her predicament either which way.
If anything, this surprise concept is one we actually feel could actually “help” the project. After all, it gives it an air of “interesting” that few of its singles could achieve.
What’s more, in an era of dramatic second week sales drops, we quite like the idea of releasing digitally one-week, and physically the next. It’s a strategy we feel could help the industry solve the crippling issue of leaks – which in turn lead to diminished sales. Whether Mimi’s project will successfully cement this idea as “the way forward” will be interesting to see.

umm……….no comment
she’s pathetic
She knows this will flop. 😀
Kim Kardashian has stans? Wow, what has the world come to?
…because a surprise is not a surprise anymore. Scrap it all together please and find few young current talented producers like Madonna and start to evolve b*tch. You start to look like a jobless stripper and so stuck in the 90s. Grow up.

B**** be talking about “the art of letting go” but b**** still thinking about releasing that flop…
The Art of Falling Asleep …..
Damn…. Pathetic b**** JUST release tge damn album it’s not gonna pull mind blowing numbers either way so why push it back again? Azealia banks tease..
I agree, I like her, but this album isn’t going anywhere big, and it’s better to tell your fans when the date is instead of suprising, because the album will be much lower with no date confirmed.
Clearly MiMi hasn’t learned the art of letting go… smh she lost it after the emancipation. I was really rooting for her. She’s following in the steps of ashanti.
BXTCH don’t try it!! Ashanti? She was only hot for like two years. Mariah had longevity so stop being dramatic. Damn fool
Girl Just deal your fave in this day and age is now a bonafide flopping has been. I loved her but as I stated after the emancipation she lost it. The lambs have her past accolades to hold on to so live with that and bow out gracefully
She looks so beautiful in that pic though.
the lies
Photoshop
Wow, why are y’all so hard on Mariah Carey?
lol ugh its not a surprise if you tell us its a surprise. LET. IT. GO.
LOL, I know right. That’s like saying, “Dude, I’m going to throw you a suprise birthday party. Are You ready?” It ain’t a suprise anymore.
Mariah Carey will not sell as good as beyonce because she already realease two or three singles so we already have some taste and we will not be surprised as much as we were for beyonce’s album because b realease a complete video album so we’ll see
Not only that, Beyonce pulled an okie-doke. Hers were TRUE buzz songs (Not released for sale on iTunes/worldwide/radio promotion) and when the visual album came, it was sassy, hot, and grown woman s***. **Flawless!! The rollout was not unprofessional like Mariah’s that consists of constant flop singles and album date delays. Bey never gave a definitive date on her album release.
Can someone cast a revive spell on me, can I’m DEAD!
HAHAHAHA! Just shelve it Mariah…no one was really gonna buy it anyways
Im screaming. ULTIMATE DEATTTTHH!
I had the same reaction when I say Beyonce’s thighs at the SuperBowl
I know a F****** stan is not talking about anyone’s thighs
OMG, LOL! Beyonce’s thighs!
Guess her label finally understand that it’s gonna flop.
Expected release date – june 17th 3021
Lmaoo omg Mess! Mariah just give it up already!
Best selling female of SoundScan!! Love the Butterfly Ring. #LegendM
LOL!!!
well in all fairness, this is supposed to be a “surprise” release. Maybe this is part of the plan, to throw everybody off and then drop the album on the 6th as planned.
I don’t know, I’m just trying to throw Mimi a bone lol.
I thought this exact same thing lol! We’ll see
That sucks was looking foward to it, Mariah you are legend you shouldn’t be going thru s*** like this…. Must be karma for her evil judgemental fans.
Mariah had the chance to released the album when she had that top 15 hit and could have seen
Good sales (150k to170k) but no she decided to released all this messy singles and flop videos and
Push backs that’s making her look bad also #beautiful could have reached a higher peak if she had released
The album during that time because fans and people get hyped up but with all this mess that she keeps
Doing I see that album doing (50 k to 75k) Max first week
IT DOES NOT MATTER! She already served and slayed. Bye
Lol apparently for her it matters if not she wouldn’t be doing this mess
Mariah has always pushed her albums back so i don’t see what the problem is. She writes new songs and record and makes changes.
JLO released like her 6th single now with no album yet no one says anything. Leave Mimi alone
That’s because no one cares about J.Lo’s album. I thought she retired.
Crying @ Bey Stans bum rushing this post. #ThePressedAndObsessed
But don’t you do the same in Beyonce post?
You should be the last one to even talk. Bye
Sweetie im not the one obsessed with dragging Beyonce 24/7.
The thing is, Y’all like to compare other artist in your post. For what though?
Mariah should have released her album when beautiful was out instead of recording irrelevant remix videos maybe then you wouldn’t have hurt yourself and would have an album out i love Mimi she’s a legend but shes looking foolish these days.
No one cares about this disaster of an album except Slayriah
Lotus Bionic. Bye!
2 albums with better material then Mariah has been releasing over the last couple of years
Lmaoo how obsessed you are with christina as soon as you that last name you think they’re fans of christina lol maybe that’s his last name you pathetic tramp you see how foolish you sound bringing christina up on a mariah post! Girl bye! Stay hating lol
@K**
Really? Metacritic:
Lotus – 56
Bionic – 56
Memoirs – 69
You’re so obsessed with her that you even go out your way and google album reviews lol obsessed much you sound beyond pressed
Mariah at this point looks pathetic.
Slayriah is seething over another push back. Lmao
Seething? Lol. I don’t even care if Mariah releases another album or not because I already have 90% of her albums. I’m good. You people are the ones stressing over nothing. Bye
Kiiii b**** you don’t want another album to come out cause you know it would only do 80k at best
Her music is cheesy, generic forgettable crap a anyway. No ones interested in buying!!
@slayriahcarey do you have a job? Do you go to school? How do you pay your bills? Does mariah pay your bills?
Please tell me because I see you have all this time
On your hands responding to all this comments girl are you serious lol you stay here 24/7 go get some rest honey
Grapejuice causing you too much stress
Slayriah has no life her life consist of stalking Beyonce Ciara and Christina.
Who the hell are you? Why do you care how I love my life? It isn’t any if your concern.
I do go to school. I don’t have any bills to pay (I’m not even 18 yet). Worry about your own life and not random people on the internet who you don’t know. Smh
Lmao not 18? girl sit yo underage bored and lonely ass down .
People acting like Mariah is some new artist trying to make in the business. That wold be Ariana. Mariah has already released 10+ albums and 8 have sold at least 3 million in the US. You people are more bothered about Mariah pushing back her album than her own fans. Lmao.
lol just because your under 18 doesn’t mean you can get a job how pay for your phone I’m guessing your parents lmaoo how pathetic you are! Unless your 12 then I guess my mistake lol but damn you too much time on your hands be productive honey lmaoo getting all this stress from a website lol you can keep it coming
First of all, I’m not stressing over anything.
Secondly, you are the one talking about my personal life (you don’t even know me) on a music blog.
My parents do pay for my bill but why do you care?
I am very productive. Provide receipts of me being on TGJ 24/7? Lol @ your reach. There are people who are commenting on this site way more than me.
Lol first of all I don’t care about your personal life but I just trying to figure out how in the Dh you so much time to hate on other artist I mean you should at least get a job trying to help you out lol secondly everytime
I see read a story your always hating you never have anything positive to say so how about you keep to yourself you
Make yourself look stupid and immature well at least we know
Your underage so I guess I can see
Your immatureness lol
@ 2 girls 1 cup, I like how you always know how to put this hateful b****** in her place, you should comment often
Apple on Mariah being inspired by her superior, and ‘Times’ most influential person of 2014
“[The artist] really likes what Beyoncé did, the independence of it. Streaming might come later, but that isn’t decided yet.”
“I’m not sure it will top Beyoncé, but it will be ‘Beyoncé-esque’ let’s just say.”
Superior? Lol Beyonce is barely superior to Rihanna. Please stop… You sound pressed AF! And you are incorrect. Beyonce is inspired by Mariah.
I used to like Mariah before she became a fat flop.
Too bad since your fave Stans for her.
How are you under 18 yet you stan for an ancient dinosaur .
Because my mom always listens to Mariah, Whtiney, and Celine old tunes and I really liked Mariah’s voice. So I started listening to her music. Again, why does this concern you?
You stupid stanning for a old ass b**** with no relevancy.
That’s cool! I love their music too! This generation has no talent. She’s like the best we have right now. Maybe if Beyonce, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, or Lady Gaga had any talent…nah, they still couldn’t top mariah’s voice.
someone shoot it in the head 😥
`
just accept your COLOSSAL FLOPPAGE and move on!!
`
Either give your centenarian stans that cassette of unreleased 1948 tunes ONLY they would desperately need in their tapes OR RETIRE!!!
`
GOd
Lmao thank god Kelly and Beyonce aren’t desperate and lame like Moo.
!!!
DEAD!
Your Mariah drags are always on point!!!@
hahaha not a 1948 CASSETTE though 😆
Anyways not hating on mariah or anything she should just released the album and let the music
Speak for itself also bringing Christina Aguilera or Beyonce on this post is irrelevant this mariah Stans love talking and hating on other artist lol
Thats what happens when your dealing with someone childish,evil, petty,and disgusting like Devilriah.
She probably got dropped as baby that’s why she’s the way she is would explain her stupidness
Mariah I don’t care when the album comes, as long as, you are serving us quality “music” that’s all that matters.
Mariah really is in the best position to be in because some people are not expecting the album to do numbers so of it doesn’t, than oh well, but when it does haters are going the have the “DONG FACE.”
Is Molly really trying it though. You and FutureStruggle are here everyday talking Shitt about Bey, Lana, and everyone except Ciara. #TheIrony
But no ones more obsessed with Beyonce then you sis don’t try and change the subject now coward.
Bey Stan’s can’t come for anyone seeming as how she’s barley sold more albums than Mariah since 2003 and come behind Mariah Rihannna and Gaga in record sales. And Kelly Stan’s why are you even here
hey you f***** elephant trunk, get off the superior hive and Bey’s d*cks.
you been so bitter lately, defending lessors and your aint shiiit elephant fav.
double-chin McDeluxe elephant with no impact but 1 very successful album
need I remind u? Adele is still Queen Bey’s lessor, stay in yo lane
Bey stans come for whoevee they want. Our fave actually has the acclaim to back it up.
listen here you edgeless grenade.
anyone who comes for the Queen ahalt be dragged. Bey >>> every singer out right now
Lmao i love skyfall tbh
Love you too!!!
🙂 you have me cracking up with your slick shade.
LOL that kelly stan needs to seriously stfu. #12yearsalessor.
#NP I’m a s**** 4 u – Queen Britney,
They will continue to seethe at #TeamMariah for unknown reasons.
*exits*
lol so u stan for talentless britney and have the nerve to come at someone?
@Molly hey sis how u doin?
Hey love im doing good and yourself?
dead @ ” She’s following in the steps of Ashanti”
Love how Mariah is finally taking notes from Beyoncé. Maybe now she can get the respect that her and her legendary accomplishments deserve. There’s no reason why people should be calling her Whitney’s, Celine’s, and Beyoncé’s lessor when she has accomplished more than them commercially.
Today is copying her surprise release, tomorrow is wearing clothes that don’t have Baby Gap tags and accepting the fact that she meets the minimum age requirement for most senior discounts. She’s legendary, and I love the fact that Beyoncé may help the GP see that.
haha! it looks like no one use pushback-riah in tgj anymore except that fat neck p** (flop de force)
DEATH!!!! SCREEEAAAMMMMIINNNGGG at this WEEEAAAAKKK SHADE. Try again.
Lol okaay.
dead at you being a barrometer of measuring shade seeing that you the moas confused flip-flopping fagggooot in tgj. stay in your lane, hate….
oh and an icing on top from your #1 cheerleading ass licker commenting after you
Just the fact that looking ass n***** has sold more than you’re mine.
🙁
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of these haters are checking for Mariah, she’s iconic as f*ck.. Mariah appeals to all audiences.. She is that chick.. Shes had so many hit singles, do a few mishaps even matter.. It’s the same haters prancing around in all of her post.. Mariah ain’t new.. Her relevance/Longevity >>>> She didn’t come out with the trash that y’all are used to..
Just cancel this album. This era is a mess. Flop after flop. Might as well retire, Grandma.
😆
You sound so many types of dumb with thses nonsensical comments of yours. At least Mariah as put in the time so, when she’s ready to retire she will and quite comfortably, too!
Can your mother or father do the same hontie!?
Are you for that matter…. LoL at you lossers tell someone to leave their job when you and your entire family don’t/never had one!!! Oh the irony!
“A buzz single” will follow suit…..just wait, y’all !!!! :lol
QUEEN OF PUSHED BACK !!!!
Why are all these haters wanting Mariah carey to slay the charts and outsell everybody in 2014? LOL Where are the artists who were slaying the charts (with real sales and real talent to back it up, unlike most of your nowadays mediocre favs) when Mariah Carey debuted? Where are Roxette, Alanis Morissette, Lenny Kravitz, George Michael, Phil Collins, etc, etc??? Exactly. That shows Mariah´s extremely successful career.
Why are you haters even bothered by a couple of weeks push back? LOL I´m a Mariah fan but I´m also a grown up, and I can´t wait to hear her music, but at the same time I just want good music, it will come eventually. It´s not that serious. Mariah has done it all. We people who care only want music when possible, just like any other fan of someone Mariah´s age, only that Mariah still has more success than them.
Grandmariah is a done deal and should retire with Janet and Aretha. Nobody is checking on her.
Remember she and her manager sabotaged JLO career? She deserves all the flops. I cant stand this stupid overrated old sl*t with no motivation to evolve. She should retire after The Emancipation of Mimi era. RIP, Lambs.
🙁
Recipts of her trying to destry J-Ho’s career
go buy g.u.y. and you’re mine on iTunes and stfu already.
Mariah Carey baby just retire. That voice is gone. I love you forever tho. No other female artist catalog has touched me & voice has touched me like yours has. If anything can you please release your duet with Michael Bolton you did in 1991. Or release “The Crave Song” I must hear it! PLEASE! I love you forever & ever & ever & ever….
Im sorry but you’re one of the fakest b****** on this site you got no faith in your fav just sad.
Hush! Im not the fakest! Im REAL! Mariah’s voice is gone. She cannot sing live anymore without lipping all the damn time.
Also, im not delusional like you are too S****** Spears…
I bet when this flop album is released it will be her last and she’ll retire she can’t compete with Ariana whose bout slay us with problem.
Ariana Grande aint nothin’! She will be overshadowed by Rihanna & Adele. Also, her lil DISNEY CHANNEL vocals aint nothing… I tried to get into her but that shitt was WEAK!
Im waiting for Adele & Rihanna tbh…
Also, J-Ho is a flop just like Mimi is so bye
Lol b**** Arianas vocals s*** on Mariahs tho dont be jealous cause there’s a new b**** in town… S*** Jlo is just getting started she’s coming to slay. Rihanna and Adele are tired people forgetting about them especially Adele
You are so delusional! As I expected from a J – Ho stan!
Adele will DESTROY when she comes back. Also, Rihanna is the biggest POP star in the world.
Ariana Grande aint got no chance with these new divas. As for her vocals yes currently they slay Mimi’s & J HO’s hahaha
Dont be mad that J Ho’s career is made up of commercails & flop albums
Mariah is an officially..Queen of Damage Control.
😀 😀 😀
Agree, just retire fatso !!!!!
She’s so over.I cannot stand her.EWWWW
Then why did you click on this post… Madonna fan!
Madonna and JLo >>>>>> Mooo
Madonna >>>> Mariah Carey YES I AGREE
J-Ho >>> Madonna & Mariah in the looks department thats about it…
J Ho’s entire career is a FLOP
I cant stand her too. Her voice is annoying like a screeching break. At least Madonna reinvent herself and she call fill up stadium. MooMoo?
🙁
her career is finally over
J-Ho’s career BEEN over…
Is that why JLo is more relevant then Moo?
No thats why Moo got more money than J-Ho…
Stephy go find your walls you loose ass power bottom…
DEATH! At you using LoveBirds tired ass shade. Bye Ho…
J-Ho is still a flop simple as that fuckerrrr
Im not believing anything until Mariah herself says so!!! Billboard announced that grown woman video was coming out and it didn’t!!! It’s a surprise Mariah is clearly throwing everyone off and hell billboard might be in on it.. why would you release an article on about your new album prior to the release date . When it comes out it will come out. If you hate Mariah why are you worried!!
Everyone saw this coming. Even her stans
The curse of Beyonce. 😀
Not again. I’m so mad right now !!!
Mariah the b****** doesn’t care about Lambs because she is too self-absorbed, full of herself and too stupid be considered as “relevant”. She is taking her diva status for granted.
She is a flaky fake flop b*tch. Someone should smack her head and then make her away for good.
Embarrassing and pathetic.
The curse of Miley, Katy and Riri. 😆
Sit down Pariah Carey. You are the joke of the year. Go away, b***h, nobody wants you anymore. Pop out more babies and stay home enjoy your ol’ money.
she is over. i agree.
@Stephy Shut your crazy a** up.. Mariah can certainly still sing.. As far as beauty Mariah > the other girls u named. Mariah doesn’t need an over the too glamour team to make her look great, she also looks better naturally than the other two.. Musically/VocallyTalent >>>> Mariah >>>> Madonna/JLo
” Mariah can certainly still sing” and there’s where I stop reading. The lies!

Mariah clearly observing Beyonce. First a surprise album now that cover giving pure ‘I am’ cover tease. Just sayin.
just like beyonce copied vanessa williams?? chile SIT beyonce is not original point blank and the period. If anything mariah looks like her album cover from music box which was released 21 years ago!!!
But I love how yall nevee said anything about the surprise album. You know damn well the inspiration was there.
Beyonce’s cover is nothing like Mariah’s.. The reach for this site & the clowns that follow..
Lmao the struggle. Mariah clearly has something to prove. That album should have been came out last summer.
I don’t even care for Mariah Carey BUT….. a fan should be able to “stan” for an artist THEY like, not an artist who is relevant, after all the point of being a fan is about liking the artist for their music and not their success.
OMG
This is DISASTROUS!!!

i heard nothing from mariah carey and jd still said that the album is coming on the may 6th. If the album is pushed back again MARIAH needs to say so not billboard or some other source you got. Tbh she only gave us personally 2 release dates PERIOD 7/23 and 5/06. Sources been making up “dates” saying that she has multiple release dates when all mariah said is that “im working on the album” “its coming soon” on new years she said she was going to release in the spring. Her management maybe horrible but she KNOWS what shes doing when it comes to albums!!!! it’s her 14th one for crying out loud! Sam wants mariah to fail so bad it’s sick!
