My mother bought all her singles from the "Music Box", "Daydream" & "#1's" albums. We still have the cassettes with the price tags on them. None, of those singles are priced at 49 cents!!! I repeat, NONE OF THOSE SINGLES ARE PRICED AT 49 CENTS!!! She purchased them from a place called TOWER RECORDS. My mother, personally showed me the cassette tapes. Along with Lil Kim, Mary J, Madonna, Michael Jackson, TLC, Toni Braxton etc... All the singles were priced at $1.99. And, she said she would buy MAXI DISC too. But, they were priced 2-3 dollars higher. Thank God I Found You, Heartbreaker, Loverboy, Honey, My All (even tho that was a REAL hit GLOBALLY) were the ONLY songs Mariah discounted throughout her career, period.

Now, I'm sure Mariah (and MANY other artist) discounted their singles in the 1990s/1980s (and they still do it TODAY). But, to sit here and say Mariah Carey has never achieved REAL hits is a DAMN lie. How was she making a fuckkking profit, if everything was "bought" & fabricated by Tommy?! I would LOVE to know how she achieved a net worth OVER 200 million. When all her singles were "discounted" & all her albums were "bought" by Sony? Are you Madonna FAGGGS that pressed over Mariah Carey's success? I truly, HATE y'all. The THE THE worst fan base in HISTORY!
