I think Mariah should release a CD around November/December of 2009 to get those big holiday sales like Beyonce, Taylor, and Britney. Somehow, I doubt we'll get a release that soon. image

The main thing for Mariah is that she has to drum up interest for the new album- though E=MC2 did fairly well, she doesn't have anywhere near the momentum she had after TEOM. I'm hoping she'll go for a pop/dance album next time, and hopefully we won't be hearing a WBT part 4.


I'd love to see a new album next year, if only so she dosent lose her foothold with younger audiences. The market seems even more fickle these days. But the whole holiday season release for maximum success is and has been proven to be somewhat overated, as other threads have discussed. More and more big artists are doing it and seeing diminishing returns with an overly crowed release schedule.

This year was just crazy and a lot of artists who did it havent seen the devastating numbers they wanted. I'd frankly encourage her to go for a more quiet period where she has less competition and is guarenteed more focus.
