Flop
For a holiday album, and in general, its literally not, mariah”… not to mention , other versions are still planned to be released, along with bigger promotional schedule, including the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade finale, and other performances, closer to the holidays. These are huge sales for an October release holiday album, and a with a #1 spot on the holiday chart, and #32 spot on the 200 chart, against all general releases, this is huge. I’ve never even purchased a holiday album before, and wouldnt have if it weren’t for Cher, and i doubt i’m alone in that… wait till the end of November, then speak, “Mariah”.
She did better than the City Girls damn
I see so many taylor swift albums on the chart! Amazing.
I see an off topic comment with a useless and brainless assessment, amazing! Literally been that way for months, so… congrats to her, but nothing to do with this post… Not even an intersting comment… You literally added nothing to the conversation. Nothing.
Do you believe in life after love?
Whoooo is Mariah? Im here..says Tatay
