It's been widely speculated so far that Mariah's new single is set to drop within days of her wrapping up this current leg of her Vegas residency (which would be on Sept 10th)....mainly because she has a huge headlining spot on the upcoming IHeartRadio Festival in Vegas in a few weeks, which she'll likely be having new music to perform for the promo. There's also been rumors swirling that she'll be one of the first performers confirmed for the upcoming AMA's! So I think we're definitely likely to see Mariah release the album before the year's end!
