After the rockiest of starts, it appears all Mariah Carey needed was glossy visuals and an excessively long album title to whip up interest in her new project.
Today not only saw the unveiling of the title, tracklist, and artwork for the diva’s 14th LP, ‘Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse‘, it also saw the set go up for pre-order on iTunes.
Available on in standard and deluxe formats, the album is being flocked to by the singer’s legions of “Lambs”. So much so that’s it’s charged into the top ten on the tally…based on orders alone.
Details below…
As at writing, the meaty deluxe edition of ‘The Elusive Chanteuse‘ sits at #7 on the count.
The feat sees the LP currently besting sales of new albums from the likes of Shakira, Pharrell, and Future.
It’s imperative to point out that the placement is only reflective of sales and pre-orders made since the start of today. Whether Mimi’s latest collection of tracks manages to hold steady ahead of its May 27th arrival will be all sorts of interesting to see. There’s no denying, though; this is a promising start.

The album still will flop and i cant with that basic cover. Beyonce impacted this h*** title?
The album that has Beyonce’s influence in its title..
RIP 🙁
The album cover looks so cheap & tacky…just like her.
Remember Gaga’s ARTPOP topped the iTunes (Pre-Order album) chart and yet only managed to sell 258k on its 1st week in the US ?????
“Me. Elusive Fatcow…Creambrulee” will flop even harder. Bookmark me, Lambs.
😕
Floooopppppppp !!!!!!
Where? At #7….storm ?????
😆
#7…and Lambs are treating this news like some kind of miracle happens to F******. The fact is….this album will be her lowest 1st week debut.
If this album is storming the iTunes chart, it has reached #1 by now.
Tacky topic from Sam…just like Mariah’s new album cover and title.
I will support Mariah album all you
Hating ass behive the day come when
Bey flop I will laugh so hard because
She can’t stay on top for long all u hives
Do is laugh at other artist to make ur self
Feel better foh Mariah is a legend
All u hoodrats and welfare recipients
Bey don’t even care about her fans
CORRECTION:
Available on in standard and deluxe formats, the album is being FLOPPED to by the singer’s legions of “Lambs”.
150k max for 1st week sales… 😆
#7 is nothing to be proud of, Sam.
98k-125k!
170k…
I know the navy not on here making
Fun at Mariah really navy u need to
Stay away from Mariah post I love
Rih but she could not sing a Mariah
Song to save her life back the f***
Up give Mariah respect you little trolls
I really don’t like the album cover
Its horrible looks fake like her covers suck more ass then Lanas vocals.
im buyin it, some of yall live to just hate and see people fail its pathetic! mariah is a legend she has nothin to prove to anyone
Beyonce ain’t inspire SHITT! I am sure there have been 100s of albums with “I am” in the title. Please sit down with that delusion. Mariah influenced Beyonce. Again, Mariah influenced Floponce. No one has time to emulate that I am floppig Fiercely album.
Anyway, I’m not liking this title at all. She could have kept it honey. “The art of Letting Go” sounds so much better. And I’m a little excited to hear “thirsty”. Lmao
Lol seethe!
Lol shut up this old h** did copy the King can’t wait for this to sell less then Lotus
Not her getting inspired by Beyonce. Mariah struggle to keep up with the young Queens is real.
And that cover is basic as HELL!
Alicia Keys As I Am and Ashley Simpson I Am Me. Albums that came before I Am… Stealing. But it is pretty IASF and This is me, then
No1curr tho
The album cover <<<<<
It would have been nice if it were the Billboard Magazine cover. I really liked that but this cover is juts too much for me.
Chile just enjoy this has been flop of an use to be Diva Mess.
Beyoncé “Beyoncé” US: 1,929,359
almost 2 million
Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel
US: 549,000
no so much :/
crying
The Emancipation of Mimi. US:
6,000,000.
Bey couldn’t and cannot
lol not you comparing a 2005 album to a 2013 one haha struggle is real for the lambs.
Bey couldn’t do 6 million in 2003 or 2006 so your point remains invalid.
@beyonce>>>Mariah
It doesn´t matter, none of Beyonce´s albums have sold what Emancipation sold, and we are talking about 00s and Beyonce´s “era”. Do you want to add 90s to the mix too? LOL No. It´s not the time or place. Just enjoy music by legends and preorder Mariah´s new album 🙂
TWOTWALL & SURVIVOR DID 6 MILLION & DIL DID 5 MILLION. WW DIL SOLD ALMOST WHAT TEOM SOLD(12 MILL. –>
The Writings on the Wall/Survivor aren’t Beyonce’s albums. MJ Stans aren’t pulling Jackson 5 receipts on anyone so bye! DIL is perched @ 4.9 million in the US. My point still stands: TEOM >>>> everything Bey has released.
Critics disagree^
Critics? Lol I’m talking about sales. If we wanna talk about critics then Daydream/Butterfly >>>>>> everything Bey.
Not really. The most they have is 3-4/5 stars and Bs.
When was Mariah last hit #1 ? 54 years ago 😆
LOL ALMOST 6 MONTHS LATER AND SLAVEONCE STILL HASN’T HIT 2 MILLION YET??
DEATH @ THE SELF DRAG LOL
7 Months Later and Caca is still stuck in the 600k range kiii.
BUT who has the DIAMOND CERTIFIED record lol NOT BEY foh and lets not talk about the flop that was 4
Who cares?
Well you did read it and comment on it.
So what? she’s still a gross and ugly p**.
agreed
Why is the barb here?
Why are you asking?
Didn’t Cierror also go top 10 based on preorders? I’ll wait until the predictions come in from HDD.
Mooriah won’t even do 60k watch.
Not her getting inspired by Beyonce. Mariah struggle to keep up with the young Queens is real.
And that cover is basic as HELL!
My problem with Marian is b**** doesnt know when to just bow out gracefully. FLOP ALBUM AFTER FLOP ALBUM FLOP SINGLE AFTER FLOP SINGLE & still tryin 40+ apparently she still think its 2005. Jlo also. 40+ means Time to hang it up mah
B**** please mariah the best selling female artist of all time. She has more number ones them any other so sit u ass down
Me i am a Moose will do 48k at most.
The hive stays delusional as hell. Beyonce said mariah is the woman who made her want to sing in the first place so….
Nas released an album in 1999 called “I am…”Beyonce does not own the words “I am”. You haters give her too much credit. Mariah record sales will remain higher than your faves when all is said and done.
The thing is your so pressed theres NO Hive members in here. I love pulling your strings! Anything to do with Beyoncs you seethe. Its too damn funny.
I thought u were a Bey Stan since your riding her 12 incher like a damn p*** star. I guess you have to cling to her since Nicki is the ultimate struggle/flop/disaster. Zero Grammys. No #1 singles. Second album still not 1 million in sales. net worth almost as basic as her music. The list goes on
Death at Mariah being inspired by my FAVORITE BEYONCE album.
Beyonce & Kelly both wanted to be like Mariah. Lol
but why is the bee hive getting threatened… oh YES thats right because Mariah Carey is back!!!!
The has been queen struggling for that top 10 spot when she should be top 5. The album will debut with 58k tbh
Try again Mariah!
Go girl! I didn´t expect this. Most people still don´t even know about the album coming in May since there´s no single getting airplay or something. I´m surprised, even if it´s just for a day.
The only thing that truly matters is the music anyway, and the whole project looks promising. So many potential great songs.
Why would the hive be threatened by Mariah? lol
Because she shitss all over her niggaa
Yessss!
That title is horrible.
Wait! Why is this pressed person under different names so pressed at this news? LOL He or She says the same things no matter what the topic is. It has to be Sam LOL
Dead at you blaming sam because your fav is getting dragged.
Even tho tha b**** annoyed the f*** out of me with that never coming album and the HORRID your mine, ill still give the album a chance and if ill like it will buy.
Horrible title horrible cover hopefully the songs aren’t horrible.
RIP Grandmariah…you are a done deal. 🙁
Im sure it will be better than Beyoncé tho
lol you don’t even believe that.
Whats to believe b****? That overrated album is not that great, all the songs besides Drunk in love Haunted Jealous and blow were a snooze fest, and b**** you a kesha stan in no place even to express your irrelevant opinion, go f*** urself homie
Im sure it wont. Mariah can’t even outdo Beyonce on metacritic yet her music is so ‘great’
Metacritic came in the early 2000s though. None of her albums from the 90s (some of which received universal acclaim) are on it.
Mariah >>>> B*****
So? a legend with such great music still fall short to someone whos music is supposed to basic. She has like 5 or 6 albums on there still which is like half of her discography lmfao.
Shes such a great artists yet after the 90s (aka minus Tommy) her music went down. She can’t even push 70. Even Rihanna has 70.
It doesn’t matter. Her prime material is absent from the website while all of Beyonce’s prime work is there.
The lies. Butterfly came after Tommy and that album was received very well by music critics.
Rolling Stone:
TEOM – 4 Stars
Beyonce – 3.5 stars
Oh. One album? My point exactly. I thought TEOM shitted on Beyonces discography?
I was talking about SALES! Get it thorough your skull. TEOM sold more than any Bey album you were the one who brought in metacritic and all this Shitt irrelevant to what I was trying to say.
Metacritic (aka COMBINED critics): BEYONCE 85
TEOM 64
Sorry but an album is not superior because of sales. Bye with that theory.
Mariah has more classics and songwriting credibility. You can’t even compare the two. Beyonce fans are really confident. LOL
Sales;
TEOM >>> StruggleYonce
Acclaim
Daydream/Butterfly >>>> anything released by Bey
@Slayriah according to who?
@MissImpartial I can easily compare which is why i am doing so. Sorry buy Im not brainwashed and indoctrinated to just ‘worship’ music because its by legends. Not everyone thinks Mariahs music is gods gift to earth.
I don’t worship music but can differentiate between quality and basic and forgettable music.The same point you made can be made about Beyonce’s music.
Its subjective, not factual. Mariah has about 3 or 4 memorable classics to the average person in reality. So does Beyonce.
1ST WEEK PREDICTION: 98k-125k!
Death @ that album cover. #Airbrushriah
No thanks, I’ll wait for 1st week numbers..
Lol im not a mariah stan but to think that beyonce got s*** on her? B**** please… My All>>>>>>> the entire Beyoncé album.
Exactly! Beyonce is trash!
The hive are the most delusional f**** ,how many number ones does she have , how many albums did she sell? Mariah sold WAYYYY more at her rate.
Mariah needs to seriously give it up. She is just so predictiable and her music is boring and sounds the same. Even her visuals are all the same. Her discography is one of the most overrated legends discographies in history. The powers of payola.
You people say the Shitt everyday. Come with something new..
This garbage will sell less than 250k….mark my words.
I don’t think Mariah has the appeal anymore to sell records or spark any interest in new fans.
Hahahahaha y’all like teenagers are upset that the biiiitch who’s sold MUCH more than your fav and inspired her- will still be on top 25 years into the game. You’re mad? Don’t answer.. The receipts are above. Mariah has you pressed.
Exactly. Keep reaching Beyonce fans. Do we need receipts? I don’t think we do. At this point mariah has no else to prove. She can whatever she wants and still has 10x more success than these new followers. Stop embarrassing your favs and understand Mariah is the Queen.
Too bad it wont see I Am Sasha Fierce numbers kiiiiiii sorry h**.
I don’t think Beyonce sees IASF numbers nowadays.
I am Flopping Fiercely has basic numbers though. Mariah has done triple those numbers. #unbothered
Co-sign. Bye kids. Listen and learn.
Normally, an album with no hit single would sell just like Riri’s, Ashanti’s or Ciara’s albums…
MoMoo is so 10 years ago. K byeeeeeeee
Grandmariah , time to hang your 90s beauty queen dress….and retire !!!!!
🙁
Mooriah needs to sit her ass down and let Nick milk her ugly saggy tiitties, nobody is here for Me I Am A Flop… Beyonce’s Lessor
Aint nobody here also for basic ass perry. Bday is floppin hard i thought its her next smash?? Even with all the payola lmfao
Mariah copying Beyonce lol gtfoh. Didn’t Mariah Carey start the whole evil alter ego during the “Rainbow” era. It can be easily be said that Beyonce copied that from Mariah or did she take the idea from David Bowie who she also copied his surprise album release?
#preach
Beyonces alter ego isn’t evil. #TryAgain
Oh, or should I say dark?
Shes not dark either. Do your research b****. Shes the over confident Beyonce you see on stage.
Why are we doing this? These kids have no idea who they are trying to drag. It’s Mariah Carey. Lol. Are we serious ? Comparing her numbers and success to these basic ass singers ? Lol. Wow. I can’t. Somebody get Billboard in here to save the day. Lol. Beyonce and Rihanna are better sellers!! Lol. Dead. A
Sis were not in 1990 anymore sit down.
Not a Beyonce fan coming for TEOM when we all know who wins. The accolades and sales prove it.
Anyway, Mariah has sold 54.2 million in US albums since May 1, 1991. This album will extend her lead as the best selling female of the era.
I’m buying this album just like I’ve bought the others.
Yes this cover is all sorts of delusional and adobe paint but that’s part of the reason people love Mariah. Lol. Her music is what ultimately matters and she never disappoints me. My favorite album from her to this day is butterfly.
Mariah has peaked..time to go down the slope… 😕
Im expecting to be blown away by this album this s*** took her so long and shes such a perfectionist.
Lol the album isn’t for you. She probably doesn’t release the type of music that you like. Doesn’t mean it isn’t a good album.
Dead @ you telling me what I should like. I have not listened to it and you’re already preparing me for the worst. (I actually own 2 Mariah albums so some of her music I love actually)
When exactly did I tell you what to like? I was simply saying that her type of music may not be what you like b*** it doesn’t mean that it won’t be a good album.
‘Lol the album isn’t for you’.
I don’t see why you felt the need to respond in the first place. Its what I am expecting, and that’s amazing quality considering its taken her so long to perfect. I can appreciate quality even if the music isn’t for me so try again.
OKAYYY….. You are most def trying it with me today.
When I said, “the album isn’t for you,” I meant that she is releasing it for everyone and not just you. Btw, the length of time doesn’t make an album great. Like you need to relax.
Did I say it was just for me? Its my personal opinion why is it bothering you? Its what I expect and I don’t need you trying to justifying what I expect. It remains the same.
I am so excited for this album.
I see 100-125k
Sis i heared nicki gonna release somtin may 5th, is it legit?
Nope. Sorry if this is late
I love skyfall you my fave in this d*** ass site
Lol thanks
Mariah’s last #1 was in 2008, and so was Beyonce’s yet at this point Mariah had been in the game for what 18 years while Beyonce was going on her 5th solo year. Yet Mariah’s the has been
PREACH!
Oh please. Like a #1 is the only the thing that keeps you on top. Just forget about Beyonce’s sales, Touring achievements etc.
Her sales are basic. “Touring achievements” are subpar compared to Madonna and Celine.
Actually no. Madonna and Celine were not doing Beyoncé Touring numbers at her age.
That wasn’t the point. I was talking about the some of the annoying beehive members who was saying Mariah was a hasbeen but showing that she was topping the charts along with Beyonce after 18 years after her debut. Hasbeens don’t do that lol
Well that would be cute if we were still in 2008.
Beyonce aint s*** , she is f***** STALE at 3 million WW, where is the slayage? Mariah slaughtered her sales at this rate of her career .
Like Unapurchased is stalled at 3.5 b****?????
The lambs need to stop worrying about Beyoncé though there’s barely any Hive members in here.
Everyone hiding cuz she cant pass 3 million WW, Even slay_hive vanished.
Or maybe they have a thing called a life?
Lol i dont think so you pussyy ass n***** please tell your fellow hive members to purchase tha poor b****** album so it can SOMEHOW pass 3 mil WW.
? It has past 3 million ww.
Well you Bey Stans need to stop saying that she is copying that flop B*****.
What Bey stan said she copied in this post though that’s making you SEETHE so much?
Not in this post but before. And Dirty Laundry ( who claims to be a BeyHive) also said it
But this is a different post. Why are you still mad?
Mad? Lol B***** bye! No one is mad here. It is just disrespectful for these fools to say this legendary diva is copying some basic B***** who wanted to be just like her. That is all.
But no Bey Hive said it in this post so you’re obviously still mad.
Yes “Dirty Laundry” said it
One random though and as usual you have a meltdown and make everything about Beyonce. Death.
Melt down? LMAOO! STAWWP! You are reading into Shitt too much. You Beyhive act the same way when the Navy says Bey is copying Rihanna so stop with the hypocrisy.
Bye Felicia the Beyhive defend against MULTIPLE Navy hating accounts not one random making you seethe just by seeing the word ‘Beyonce’ like you.
I didn’t even reply to any “random” though. They Beyhive that are hating on Mariah who I reply to visit this site very often. You tried and failed.
Girl my original point still remains the same.
Your original point = fabrication
#Dismissed
What’s the fabrication?
it’s impressive on how everytime Mariah releases something or makes some sort of statement some think she is copying your favourite. Well, if you paid attention to the video Mariah released last night you’d see that the name of the album is inspired in a drawing she made with 3/2 years old. She called it I am Mariah.
And I don’t think Beyonce has copiright over the expression I Am… because, if she does, then i think we’re all breaking ssome sort of law everyday.
Now, talking about sales: we can’t compare an artist like Mariah to the mainstream artist of today, really! Seriously? mariah makes music that endures trough the ages, not hit momentaneous songs that are forgotten in a couple of months. Yes, Mariah doesn’t sell like she used to but at least she stays true to herself, to the music she loves and refuses to follow trends. I understand you need to justify the existence of your favourite artist, but you need to downplay a living legend for that? Mariah’s title is so cool and unique, like her.
Like her, hate her, but respect her
And photoshop?? Everyone uses that these days, thank God
On another note…. Mariah isn’t the pone who’s being accused with copyright issues over her songs, for one specific reason: Mariah is an original always and a true artit cause instead of being at home waiting for songs to arrive via email, she actually moves her divalicious ass and writes them, produces them.
Beyonce, on the other hand ….
Mariah’s been in several copyright issues though. And how do you know what Beyonce’s doing at home lol?
Agrees with Carla! Mariah writes and produces all here music unlike any of your favs. For example Celine, Beyonce, Rihanna and even Whitney did not wrrite any of there music!! Beyonce has been stealing music for years and has been sued multiple times and Rihanna releases an album every year because she waits on e-mails and throws a bunch of songs together, releases an album which all you fuckers buys!
She needs to hire some modern writers because her s*** is GENERIC, CHEESY, DATED, CORNY & UNINSPIRING!!! F*** you!!!
Lol I don’t know why but I’m super excited to hear “Thirsty”. Lmao come through my queen.
She’s THIRSTY for a hit!!!
If Mariah didn’t make it so obvious she was trying to keep up with the Jones’ and stop acting like an unrelatable delusional b**** she would not get dragged so much. And lashing out on other artists will not change that Lambs. Its like she can’t accept she is not that Mariah anymore. Which is why she is not really showing much growth and her s*** is basic. She doesn’t even know who she is trying to relate to which is why its not working. She just needs to accept her place in the industry which is the past. Like Katy Perry said she’s great for throwback. That is all.
She wants to be 21 sooooo bad! B**** act like a legend and stop chasing the charts! Shady, pie faced, insecure b****! This is Beyonces world and Moo moo lives in it!!
F*** Mariah Cowrey and her stale 1995 songs! BEYONCE >>>>
if mariah doesnt spark any interest to younger audiences then why the hell “the elusive chanteuse” was trending worldwide all damn day!? We belong together touch my body and obsessed came out not to long ago..clearly if these young beyonce fans can remember single ladies and irreplaceable then they can remember mariah’s recent hits! Mariah is well known by everyone if she wasn’t american idol wouldnt have picked her to be on the show and these new producers wouldnt care to work with her!! Stop being mad mariahs going to win regardless!
Lol who is actually checking for her now her music is so lame.
I can be a big critic, but I love the color, the lighting and vibrance of the photo. It’s a basic shot edited very well artistically.
Bow down cuz tha QUEEN is back
Daaamn ! MC has the haters MAD. 100’s of comments every time TGJ posts about her.
Elusive – Difficult to remember or recall.
Chanteuse- A female singer of popular songs.
But i wish her the best tho.
It would’ve made more sense if she released when #Beautiful was still hot last year. I don’t think Mariah is too concerned with sales. I cant stand that tacky and cheap cover but the music is what really matters.
Wait, didn’t XtraLargea do the same with her last album? Fat b****** better than the tech gods.
Can we discuss how shady the song titles are?
“Cry.”
“Faded”
“It’s A Wrap f/ Mary J. Blige”
I’m through.
I forgot about my personal favorite, “Thirsty.” OMG I can’t even.
Who cares about Album sales from the 90’s And 2000’s? We all know albums back in the days were easy to sell! Selling 10 Million wasn’t S*** back in the days. It’s all about who can still sell in 2014 after almost 2 decades in the game., not in the 90’s.. Beyonce is winning this era. I feel for all these othervfemale artists Tbh. And the catch is, she’s doing it effortlessly. She’s not even trying!! Bo promo. You hear me! Barely any promo. #sitdown haterz.
^The most stupidest s*** I ever read. 10 million wasn’t hard to sell back then? Yet DC couldn’t do it, even back when music sold.
I may get in Moo Moo’s ass, but her sales will ALWAYS count, same with MJ, Janet, Whitney and Madonna or anyone else.
And for your other comment, Whitney and Dion never sat and said they wrote those songs. Beyonce thinks the worlds is as dumb as her stans and think she fooling someone. She couldn’t even finish highschool, less known a song.
DC sold over 15 Million with Writing on the walls and 10 million with amotherbalvum of theirs. So stfu
Rihanna didn’t finish high school
And it wouldn’t even matter if Beyonce didn’t write her songs (which she does) . Celine Dion and Whitney Houston wrote NONE of their worldwide hits y heart will go on, I have Nothing ect…) Yet they are LEGENDs!,So is Beyonce now. Her impact is overwhelming. Hence, why she keeps y’all talking. Get off her clot for God’s sake!!
Mariah takes over the world tonight. Billboards all over major cities. Personally shutting down Times Square (tonight) promo. #7 on iTunes (pre orders) trending on twitter….. But she is a flop hahahaha
You all make me giggle
I’m thinking about preordering the album even though I am not here for the title. I like the standard edition cover. I’m trying to see what Mimi can bring sonically. If any of the songs are like TAOLG or #Beautiful I’m here for it. If they sound like You’re Mine, then it will be an OK album. The fact that she is #7 and trending all over the place is a good thing. I didn’t see any of her peers doing this. As for sales, she’s been doing this for nearly 25 years. Please point out to ONE female who is doing their multiplatinum numbers. Not one so I don’t get the shade about Mariah. Good luck Mimi.
It’s so ironic that the people hating on Mariah are the ones who support someone that sings about being on her knees!
“Someone” who sings about being on their knees servicing their husband? Hmmm…I’ll sign up for that–monogamy over promiscuity. #BlackLove #GettingNastyWithYourHusband Yep, sign me up!
10 million was easier if it was easier why haven’t beyonce/destiny’s child recieve a diamond certification for the RIAA???????????????? clearly they were in the 00s s*** beyonce can barely reach 2X platinum these days!
Mariah TEOM had tons of promotions. So…the argument that Bey cant sold as much is valid and outdated.
Look at you a-holes. Think you’re all tough and s*it behide your computers. Get over it.
Yet its already fell out the top 50 after 3 days LOL.
