AdrianL Your comprehension skills leave much to be desired. How the hell can you compare this Katy Perry (no less) new album any Born this Way (which still sold like 700k copies first week) or Mariah in general in the 90s??? That was teh pucking point. This Katy Perry situation is a Bionic type of situation, or Rihanna´s Ratd R or Anti situation if anything.

Nobody has denied some tricks were done with Mariah´s singles (although it wasn´t always or anything). It was something that she or her team or her label were clearly chasing (to break singles records). Pretty much what Rihanna has been trying to do. But there´s a monumental difference: they made it and built it around Mariah´s TALENT. And all the songs were hers. AND she had ALBUM sales to MATCH. Rihanna has been trying to make it by having a trillion features and by releasing 7 singles per year (apart from the already mentioned commercial tricks). So just educate yourself and stop the pbullshit. There´s nothing about Born This Way anticipationa nd epic debut in Katy perry´s new album. And definitely THERE IS nothing about 90s Mariah in anything regarding KATY PERRY! (for crying out loud, it hurts to even put them in the same sentence lol).
