Mariah Carey may be shunning the promo push for new album ‘Me. I Am…Mariah. The Elusive Chanteuse’ following the set’s elusive sales, however the diva has been far from idle.

Today saw a major music entity announce their new deal with the iconic songbird. Which company is it? Find out below…

Songwriting juggernaut SESAC revealed that they have entered into a representation partnership with the 44-year-old star:

“SESAC couldn’t be more excited to sign Mariah Carey to our family of songwriters,” said Trevor Gale, Senior Vice President, SESAC. “Mariah Carey is without question one of the most gifted and influential artists ever and is truly iconic. While simultaneously remaining relevant, she continues dominating the charts in an unprecedented multi-format fashion. We are ecstatic to have the rare opportunity to work with such a prolific songwriter and producer. Mariah wrote, produced and used her incredible instrument to weave together her new album, which is being greeted with massive critical acclaim worldwide. She manages to top herself with each project and continues to transcend the music industry and the typical categorization of music, setting a standard that has yet to be matched. We are honored to have Mariah Carey in the SESAC family.”

Mimi added:

“I’m excited to join the SESAC family and embark on this voyage together,” says Mariah Carey.  “This album has been a personal journey and it is very close to my heart. I am confident that this partnership will allow me to explore new channels and audiences with my music.” 

While the fine details of the deal remain under wraps, we’re almost certain that it’ll see the singer gaining a meatier percentage of her songwriting royalties – fitting for a writer as prolific as she.

There does exist the problem, though, that recent years have seen it become increasingly difficult for ol’Mimi to shift new music. A fact which presents an immediate problem for the lucrativeness of her future offerings. After all, a meatier percentage of nothing still equals…nothing.

Still, in appreciating the legendary status Mariah brings to the table, as well as (of course) her talent, we’re hopeful she continues to make the right power plays to ensure she returns to the top. We envisage more “changes” are nigh. Stay tuned.

    *screaming* Girl hurry and go back on the “purple diet” to get back the 2008 shape, do the nodule surgery and start warming up the voice like in the past. Make a new album, bring back Walter, stop making so much remix cause you divide the sales like that….. Slow down on the amateur rappers….Girl get a hot one from your age group like Pharrell……. 15th number one album+song of the decade coming again…..

    • That MC C******* Juice July 14, 2014

      Calling her “ol’Mimi” = lame, tired a$$ shade. Tell me, when Beyonce and Ciara are 44 will you call them “ol’Beyonce” and “ol’Ciara”?

      • That MC C******* Juice July 14, 2014

        That MC Cl-it-oris Juice ! Yall stay on MC’s Cl-it !

    • Gregg July 14, 2014

      Dominating the charts???….*checks itunes, billboard, any charts* Mariah hops from label to label and everytime they announce this huge deal and then the CD doesnt live up to expectations.

    • Beyoncé July 14, 2014

      …and you’re mad because your fave has to get her #1 hits by being on other people’s records where ALL of Mariah’s #1 hits have the Queen as the marquee artist. Sit your a** down.

  4. Did ya say justin bieber,one direction,beyonce,lady gaga,rita ora or sam smith July 14, 2014

    Mariah be talented and straight gorge

    ….truth_where pus$y juice at…

  5. Rihanna Lately July 14, 2014

    The 10s era. Queens are Rihsus , Bey , Katy, P!nk & Adele. Mooriah is outdated and old way old. She needs to start touring to get coins.

    • GaGa’s Tampon July 14, 2014

      You are that pathetic Copyiana. Stan “yours truly”

      • Rihanna Lately July 14, 2014

        #Delusion at it’s finest

    • lambily July 14, 2014

      Well, honestly Pink and Adele are not so relevant now, well Adele is gonna come back too. Mariah is not outdated, she has endurance….. All she needs is a new stylist, purple diet(to get rid of the EXTRA boobs) and surgery to remove nodules. Btw….. When was Beyonce’s last number 1 dear? Oh tie with Mimi at age38 😀 your pressed.

      • RichBISH July 14, 2014

        yonce all on your mouth like liquor. Beyonce is ALWAYS being talked about. THIS IS A MARIAH POST.

  6. GaGa’s Tampon July 14, 2014

    Oh boy I sense the trolls having a field day with this one
    Good for Mimi though she has written a lot of amazing songs in the
    Past

  7. Benji July 14, 2014

    Whats the point? She should just stop releasing music and fave the fact its over.

  8. Rihanna Lately July 14, 2014

    • Someone July 14, 2014

        And what happened to Riri tour ? Did slim shady drop that h** like a hot potato?
        😆

  9. Eloviano July 14, 2014

    Yassssss bish yassssss! Get those coins gurl. Your songwriting talent is worth appreciating. If Mimi could cut down on that diva image,her public spat with Nicki Minaj on American Idol didn’t project her in a positive light. For christ sake Mimi you’re a fuxcking legend,act like one. Do a sit down interview where she won’t act like a diva or throw shade for once.

    • GaGa’s Tampon July 14, 2014

      Nah that’s one of the things I admire about her she’s real and not fake or pretentious

  10. Proud-Arianator July 14, 2014

    OMG!!!!!! 😆
    This whale should just retire and go be a mother to her three kids there is nothing left for her in the music industry 🙂

    • B’rocka Slays July 14, 2014

      doesnt seem like theres much for ari either since she doesnt even have a gold album yet

      • Proud-Arianator July 14, 2014

        Gurl when was the last time Brandy had a hit? Excluding the time she ran that lady over with her car?

      • Dan July 14, 2014

        Lmao oop at the Brandy shade,..I see know lies though.

    • GaGa’s Tampon July 14, 2014

      And the useless tramp you stan for she quit trying to be like Mariah

    • Rihanna Lately July 14, 2014

      Ariana Flopnde got a gold album yet? No 1 song yet? Grammy yet? Screams screams screams you’re the last person to shade baby. You stan for garbage baby

      • Proud-Arianator July 14, 2014

        LOL Yours truly I thought you were an Ariana Stan why the sudden change oh and next time don’t use the same website details when you decide to troll 🙂

      • B’rocka Slays July 14, 2014

        exactly arinator, sit down
        lets see where ariana is in a few years (hopefully with atleast one certified album)
        and you cant say s*** bout Brandy when even ari stans for her

    • Truth July 14, 2014

      That hit “joke” wasn’t funny for someone lost their life you rude F*ck

  11. Eloviano July 14, 2014

    @Gaga’s Tampon, I know right. Vision of Love,Thank God I Found You,One Sweet Day,Hero etc are some of the beautiful timeless song’s she has written/co-written and I think her songwriting talent has always been underlooked,people choosing to focus more on her voice/whistle register.

    • lambily July 14, 2014

      @Eloviano… I don’t know but “thank God I found you” is so forgettable….. I don’t know how it reach number one at ALL… Its weird, while the REAL CLASSIC “ATYNAF” didn’t even make the top 10 d-_-b

  12. Truth July 14, 2014

    Haters stay on your job while Mariah gets her coins. Stay mad other wise who would hate properly? Hahahahahh s*** on them Mariah with Writing credits and producer credits while these others gets things handed to them.

  13. lambily July 14, 2014

    @B’Rocka…….. *scream* you drag Alicia’s Keys…. I mean weave! 🙁

  14. Rihanna Lately July 14, 2014

    I like Vision Of Love & My All she’s good for a throwback

  15. Kitty July 14, 2014

    I don’t see it for her, this generation doesn’t care for her that much as proven with her last 2 flop albums.

  16. Rihanna Lately July 14, 2014

    I really like thirsty from her flop album its catchy & I was playing it this summer sipping them cocktails boo yassss

    • Proud-Arianator July 14, 2014

      I love her flop album more when it’s not on play

      • Rihanna Lately July 14, 2014

        Too bad I don’t know your fave

  17. Xscape___ July 14, 2014

    What’s the point? She’s not selling music these days. This would’ve meant something if it was 10+ years ago.

  18. Rihanna Lately July 14, 2014

    LMAOOO what avi? MC was an industry Pussay.

  19. That MC C******* Juice July 14, 2014

    Sam shades Mariah like she owes him money or something. Did she deny your interview requests Sam ? Is that why you’re so salty towards her ? Face it, “she doesn’t know you”.

  20. IG: _dantevic July 14, 2014

    She will still flop. No one cares for her anymore. #TRUTH

  21. Teacher July 14, 2014

    WerrrK Queen MiMi

  22. Arlene July 14, 2014

    SESAC must be “thirsty” for press. They announced the same thing last month.

  23. DRB July 14, 2014

    Y’all are incredibly stupid.

    As a prolific songwriter of 24 years, she has a back catalogue of hits.
    They still get played and will get played for years to come.
    Therefor, there’s money to be made and royalties to track.
    The obsession with “now” is ridiculous. All the people you jock now,
    where wil they be in 5-10 years and what will you think of them then?

  24. Eloviano July 14, 2014

    @lambily the G.P can support trash sometimes, just look at songs on the top 10, anyway Mariah owns an enviable catalogue and to think she wrote/co-wrote those classics. In my opinion, that’s more important than a number 1 single/album. Shade her all you want about her latest album’s chart position but it will go down in history as one of her strongest work’s of art.

  25. Eloviano July 14, 2014

    Some of the most influential, talented artists have never set the charts alight e.g longest running number 1 album/single. It just goes to show talent will always reign supreme over everything cause those records will be broken by someone else.

  26. BEYFLAWLESS July 14, 2014

    how every minutes you told us about MC album sales but not jlo

  27. ontherun July 14, 2014

    Who else is on SESAC??

  28. EW July 14, 2014

    Tea: Def Jam is dropping Mariah this week.

    • IStanForYourFav July 14, 2014

      Actually we’re making her tour & she just recorded three new songs . But you didn’t hear it from me)

  29. Rosie July 14, 2014

    I thought she was moved to a different label or something.

  30. JOHNVIDAL July 14, 2014

    Congrats to Mariah! I love the album and that´s all that matters to me.

  31. ashaandriana July 14, 2014

    The problem she is facing right now is the problem I have always had with her music, its always the same. Back when Mariah first came out I want to say three of her albums were good and eveything she released after sounded exactly the same until the holy grail that is “Emancipation of Mimi”. Being a skillful singer isn’t enough to with stand a career unless you go the adult contemporary route. If she cant change up her “eras” of music then no one wants to be bothered listening to it. Maybe she needs to do more songwriting for other artists. Love her and all since shes been around for a while but I need more than just a great voice.

  32. metzo July 14, 2014

    Wow. So many hateful souls on this blog.

    • Dan July 14, 2014

      You’re one of them..the irony.

    • Jlo July 14, 2014

      Said the booty bandit..LOL

  33. Beysus July 14, 2014

    She needs more promotion!!! That’s the problem! When the album was released, she went off to promote some drink!!! It should’ve been done by the time #Beautiful was released!

  34. IStanForYourFav July 14, 2014

    That’s good for her, but she must have been getting a huge chunk of her music royalties anyway, because she’s worth 520 mil and not even a major touring artist. I can’t even imagine what her met worth would be if she toured 2 years with each album…. Slay Madam Mimi

  35. Shaan July 16, 2014

    Mariah is a song writing goddess.I would go as far as saying her song writing abilities is better than her singing.Its sad that the music business hasn’t been good to Mariah these past few years but that’s just it,its a business and music is art and Mariah is a legendary artist #Respect
