  • The Emancipation of Mimi wasn’t just Mariah Carey’s comeback album, but also served as a statement that she survived and prepared against the turmoil she suffered against amidst her ex-husband who happened to be her record label executive and the back-clash from the ‘Glitter’ fiasco.

    she needs her confidence back. she can still make it, it's just that everyone wants to destroy her for being a complete package because of it she doesn't full trust herself

    Did you forget to mention that it was the best selling album of 2005? If I'm not mistaken it was the first and only time Mariah had the best selling album of the year despite her massive sells in the 90's.

      in terms of worldwide sales it was not, i think for 2005 Green Day's 'American Idiot' was the best selling album and then Coldplay's 'X & Y'.

      @@kevinwright7781 exactly EOM was the best selling album only in USA. Mariah always has problems with worldwide sales and popularity. She was huge with ballads like Hero or My all and Christmas songs in the entire world but the others albums and songs not had any impact in many of the world with the exception of a few asian countries like Japan, Philiphines, etc where she's huge. For example in UK she never achive great popularity and the sales never was big and she doesn't have the giant superstatus power like in her country. Other example in Latin America in 2005 the most popular artist and songs of a womens divas in english lenguage was Shakira, Britney, Christina, Gwen Stefani, then Fergie in 2006. EOM was never big and popular here, We belong together and It's like that sounded a lot but they weren't gigantic like in the USA. And those were the last radio singles from Mariah 15 years ago. The only thing that has been heard again is the Christmas song. Even many people know more about Tommy Mottola's current wife, the mexican actress and singer Thalia, and she has always been more popular in Latin America than Mariah herself whom they only know for her popular ballads in the 90s. Mariah was always gigantic in the USA but she has not been able to match that gigantic success in the mass public of the rest of the world only in the faithful fans and few countries like the asians.

      @@Itzzy515 well, mariah has always been huge in brazil both with her ballads and other hits (like "we belong together"). in 2009, "i want to know what love is" topped the brazilian charts for a record-breaking 27 weeks, and, to this day, you can hear her emancipation hits on the radio (i've heard "we belong together" and "it's like that" being played last year)
