obsessed_singlecover

The wait is finally over! Mariah’s hot like fire new single “Obsessed” just debuted on Chicago’s B96 radio station. Im beyond excited and I cannot wait for Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel to drop! Let me just say this is giving my me life and SO much more right now. I have a feeling this is going to be on repeat for quite some time. Love muffins Mimi is ready to get her 19th #1, lookout Beatles!

Get “Obessed” with Mariah below! Do you love it?

Peep the lyrics after the jump!

OBSESSED
(Mariah Carey – C. Tricky Stewart – Terius “The-Dream” Nash)

I was like, “Why are you so obsessed with me?”

So oh oh oh oh
So oh oh oh oh
So oh oh oh oh
So oh oh oh oh

Will the real MC please, step to the mike?

So oh oh oh oh
So oh oh oh oh
So oh oh oh oh
So oh oh oh oh

All up in the blogs
Saying we met at the bar
When I don’t even know who you are
Saying we up in your house
Saying I’m up in your car
But you in LA and I’m out at Jermaine’s.
I’m up in the A
You so so lame
and no one here even mentions your name
It must be the weed. It must be the E
Cause you be popping hood
You get it popping, Oh

Why you so obsessed with me (Boy I wanna know)
Lying that you’re sexing me (when everybody knows)
It’s clear that you’re upset with me
Finally found a girl that you couldn’t impress
Last man on the earth still couldn’t hit this
You’re delusional, you’re delusional
Boy you’re losing your mind
It’s confusing yo, you’re confused you know
Why you wasting your time
Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex
Seeing right through you like you’re bathing in Windex
Boy why you so obsessed with me?

You on your job
You hating hard
Ain’t gon’ feed you
I’m gonna let you starve
Gasping for air
I’m ventilation
You out of breath
Hope you ain’t waiting
Telling the world how much you miss me
But we never were
So why you trippin’
You a mom and pop
I’m a corporation
I’m the press conference
and you a conversation

Why you so obsessed with me (Boy I wanna know)
Lying that you’re sexing me (when everybody knows)
It’s clear that you’re upset with me
Finally found a girl that you couldn’t impress
Last man on the earth still couldn’t hit this
You’re delusional, you’re delusional
Boy you’re losing your mind
It’s confusing yo, you’re confused you know
Why you wasting your time
Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex
Seeing right through you like you’re bathing in Windex
Boy why you so obsessed with me?

Why you so obsessed with me
Lying that you’re sexing me
It’s clear that you’re upset with me
Finally found a girl that you couldn’t impress
Last man on the earth still couldn’t hit this
You’re delusional, you’re delusional
Boy you’re losing your mind
It’s confusing yo, you’re confused you know
Why you wasting your time
Got you all fired up with y our napoleon complex
Seeing right through you like you’re bathing in windex
Boy why you so obsessed with me?

  • i LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!!

  • Don’t love it, but I like it!

  • It’s a great song but I’m concerned she’s losing her unique Mariah style. I mean, Jordin Sparks could do this same song.

  • This song is FIYAH!
    I already listened to it 10 times since its debut.
    All MC HATERS can get the hell on outta this post!
    BITCH.BOO.BYE!

  • AMAZING!!!!!! Gangsta MC!!!!
    Migrate meets Side Effects!!!

  • hey that was grrreat! she’s still got it!!

  • MAN, i don’t no, it’s ok. sounds like too much Dream and no mariah. It sounds like it could be a Britney or Ciara song and thats not a compliment. i wanted a banger from mariah and this isn’t it.

  • I agree Tila dont love it, but like it.

  • Nice one Mariah! Thanks BScott for the scoop!!!

    Not a not a big fan of Mariah (as a singer, but love the person), but I love this song.

    Another #1

  • very forgetable

  • meh..i hope the rest of the cd isn’t like this. She’s toooo good 4 this shit..MC gotta realize that doesn’t have to be like these 17 year old singers because they r just tryin to be like she was when she came out. Buttterfly was her last greeaat cd.

  • AreWethereYET?

    June 16, 2009 at 4:36 pm

    She didnt need Nick to defend her….Not only can she handle her own…she’ll break world records doing it. HA! I love Mariah…”Migrate” was fire too lyrically. She doesnt get credit for her writing skills. I will need a couple more listnens but I am liking it definitely.

  • p.s. she does look sexxxy as hell tho!

  • im not obbsessed thats for sure !!!!! thumbs down

  • Like Jayz said D.O.A. DEATH OF AUTOTUNE. Not you too Mariah, this song is not hot. Maybe I need a vid for this because videos can change your mind.

  • *Tsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss* H~O~T!!!

  • Sounds too bubblegum childish for me! Mariah is a grown azz woman and should be singing songs reflecting that! What is she 40 yrs. old now? come on now!!!

    http://www.mediafire.com/?hwzajmwdwrj

  • This is a hot mess. She is trying way too hard on this song. Autotune? Talking about weed and ecstasy? For real Mariah? She really needs to sit down. It sounds like she tried to put all the current “trends” in music into one song. I’m not feeling it. It sounds like something a 19 year old should be singing.

    The sad part is, the same people talking about how much they love this are the same ones saying Janet needs to grow up. Not trying to start a comparison because this is Mariah’s thread, but you guys know I’m right.

  • Mariah be gettin IT!!!!! Fired back on all haters (especially a certain over-the-hill white rapper. truly his time has passed)

  • I mean its ok, but its not no fiyah!! I mean i dont hate on MC she cool and all but this aint no club stoppa or nothing, its just ok, a cute little jam. The thing I really hate about these go-getter fans is that yall (not all) hate to admit when these artist songs just aren’t as hot as they should be. Be a fan but be a truthful fan, maybe her albulm is better than this song, its just an ok for. But i do give MC mad props she’s gorgeous and be in the game for a long as time and she still giving it. That’s all!

  • Why are you soo obsessed with me? I am feelin’ it! Love it Love it!!

    “aint gonna feed ya, i’m gonna let you starve”

    nice MC

    “you a mom and pop and I’m a corporation”

    Mariah’s metaphors are top notch and I like the slant rhymes. Mariah is a great song writer and her team -knocks it out everytime!

  • FIRE!!!!

  • Why don’t people just listen to what they like instead of trying to “suggest” what an artist should be singing.

    It’s really whack!

    go find a song that you like – branch out!!

    yes maam! you better use eminem as a source for another number one hit. sometimes you take the negative and turn it into a positive. mariah carey is truly a lyrical genius and i love her. true fans support no matter what. and quite frankly we are all a lil obsessed with mc. hahhaha.

  • LAVETTTTTTTTTTTTTT to the maxxxx

  • i’ve loved Mariah since vision of love, this SONG is sad. I’ve dealt with the bad live performances, the bad lipped performances, the lIPPED high notes. Something is wrong with her voice. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH HER VOICE.

    How do you go from the riff’s from IF IT”S OVER to this??? the song is so-so, it lacks a hook worthly of a vocal legend. Her voice is weak and boring in the verses. THE DREAM does ok with his own music, but even Touch My Body was so-so.

    Mariah has lost her swag, just like Janet jackson. This song is corny, boring and she AINT singing. WTF???? Mariah Carey is a SINGER. why has she NOT been singing….it’s like watching a person who has been able to see, suddenly they are blind.

    Mariah I’m VERY disappointed in you. I’m disappoint that you’d release this garbage like some follower, with the tired autotune, and not be the MARIAH who use to SET the trend vocally.

    Mariah is being outdone by Quality music from LESSER TALENTED WOMEN: Rihanna, Beyonce, Amerie. Single Ladies is a HIT…WTF is this?????????

  • i love it… its catchy and im glad she taking shots at that bleach blonde!

  • It’s a catchy little song. We do expect more from Mariah. This could be any little chick out there singing this. She needs to stop with the teeny bopper stuff, she’s 40. ‘Clown’ was the shit. I think these lyrics are childish. I gave up on the last album after I heard ‘Touch My Body’. The weakest song she ever did.

  • this song is soooo f****n hott!!…my new theme song!!!

  • Pure hotness! This song has all the ingredients for another #1 smash hit wonder!

  • AllStar, you are so right. The same people who are loving this are the same people who jump all over Janet for not acting her age.

    I don’t really care about the age thing…a good song is a good song no matter how old the person singing it is. This however is crap. I am so tired of that auto tune bullshit. It completely ruins the song for me. I’m not feeling it all and I doubt the video will help much for me because her videos annoy the shit out of me. I have a love/hate relationship with Mariah. She either makes stuff that I totally love right off the bat or she makes music that makes me cringe. This is totally cringe worthy right now. I pray the rest of the album isn’t this bad.

  • Mariah your new music is SHIT!!!

  • Oh..and the lyrics are clearly about that Eminem fool. They both seem pretty ridiculous rehashing this he-said/she-said crap from what..like 10 years ago?

  • i agree, instead of sitting around pining & bitching about what you wanna hear Mariah sing (or re-sing) go find people that do it for you. nobody says that just because you loved her in the 90’s means you have to love her now. everybody outgrows their love @ some point.

    and it’s obvious she’s making music that SHE likes now. and whether anybody wants to admit it or not, what she’s doing is keeping her relevant.

    watch this go straight to #1.

  • IM NOT IMPRESSED WITH THIS SONG,… THIS IS AN ALBUM FILLER NOT A FIRST SINGLE AND I LOVE MC BUT THIS AINT GON CUT IT!

  • Bscott… … FOR REAL THOUGH? yall.. are yall for real?

    Put this song up next to “Always be my Baby” or “One Sweet Day” … “Fantasy”… even “Honey”…. “Someday”… “We Belong Together” ..and then comment..

    THIS SONG IS PURE hott GARBAGE… ! She let Em get to her… he got in her head. And, while he has the #1 album of the year and is the #1 artist of the last decade, she is using AUTO-TUNE!! AUTO-TUNE YALL..

    Jay-z just told me auto-tune is dead… and so is Mariah Carey’s career if she don’t get it together. She gone be looking like Janet Jackson… in love and not selling.

    Come on Bscott… even Perez admitted this is garbage. I understand the love of divas but look at this from a music perspective. This song is not good.

  • THE SONG IS CATCHY AND ALL BUT COME ON NOW IT’S A LITTLE TO BORING FOR AN UPTEMPO SONG… TONI BRAXTON AND WHITNEY PLEASE RELEASE UR SONGS BECAUSE THIS SONG IS JUST TOO REMINISCENT OF EVERY OTHER SONG ON THE RADIO…DEF NOTHING WORTHY OF BEING #1.

  • Love it!!!!!!!!!! HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was like why are you so obssesed with me??? CLASSIC!!!

  • its OKAY…everyone knows what will happen anyways..she releases a fast song first..then after that COMES THE BIG BALLAD WITH THE BIG VOICE….(her second single released)

  • This is so brilliant and RELEVANT. Wich is impressive for an artist 20 yrs in the industry. But Mariah has always been a smart trendsetter and trascendong artist. I was really impressed with this hymn. Cause this is a empowerment hymn. And the lyrics are soooo smart. Really impressive. A well deserved 19th #1

  • get off the woman…how is obsessed childish..? and last time i checcked you didnt have a certain song u had to sing once u turned a certain age….if she was singing about being in high school then that would be a problem..the beat knocks and im sure you all have had someone that is obsessed with u!

  • who would come in here and have the audacity to compare Mariah to rihanna…amerie…beyonce….r u for real?? GTFOH with all that nonsense. True, this may not be her best work but its a good song regardless…and it’ll be a #1 just like TOUCH MY BODY was #1 too!

    so for all the people who dislike mariah or think she’s ‘too old’ to be singing this..please excuse yourself from this post…and go listen to what you consider talent…aka ‘rihanna’ with her no singin self.

    also, people CHANGE…times CHANGE….music CHANGES….if she did the same old stuff she’s been doing then the same people would be up here talking about how boring she is. She’s trying new things, new styles, and I can’t knock her for doing that.

    Mariah is going to keep making #1 hits, keep breaking records, and keep selling albums! it is what it is…if you don’t like it..move around.

    that is all

  • who would come in here and have the audacity to compare Mariah to rihanna…amerie…beyonce….r u for real??please!

  • I think the BIGGEST hypocrite here is you BScott….you were so QUICK to jump on Mary J for sing like 2 lines with Auto Tone…..now Mariah did an ENTIRE song of Auto-Tone…and u LOVE IT???!!!! O please…..this SHIT is ridiculus…I don’t care how many number ones she has or gets…she has lost ALL credibility as a vocalist and credibility as a DIVA for making a Diss record to Eminem….How is she going to be nominated at ANy awards show for this osng???? when her vocals are Auto Toned….

  • ^ Entire song? Which song are you listening to? Do you think she cares so much for these awards? Grammy? She hasn’t been given Grammy for Daydream, Butterfly, The Emancipation of Mimi so do you think she should still care? Her record label probably cares, but I think she is a league of her own and that’s why she’s doing music she wants to! Much respect for that! No gimmicks here, no POP SOUND (she could make pop song to sell more records like other artists), but she sticks to her sound for years (since Butterfly).

    After 1 Listen”

    It’s ok. I don’t know what she was talking about she “loves” so much about it. I thought maybe it had a great message. Something that made it stand out and unique. Better than Hero or something.

    This is basically a response to Eminem. Let’s see if Eminem responds back by song.

    Hopefully her next single is “FIRE”

  • …like the song and how she rips a certain rapper a new one. BUT… come on, M – AUTOTUNE??? WHY??? girlfriend has the pipes… USE THEM. i’d LOVE it were it not for the AutoTune.

  • ATTENTION ALL HATERS:

    GTFO of this post if your not feeling MC!

    She is sitting at home right now in her fierce ass mansion counting her money, and laughing at all you pathetic haters.

  • Being the corporation that she claims, i can’t begin to understand why she would stoop to the level of making a diss track. about Eminem of all people. tsk tsk Mariah. You are supposed to be above all this. I couldn’t even continue listening past the autotune. OMG what is music coming to people?

  • I think the BIGGEST hypocrite here is you BScott….you were so QUICK to jump on Mary J for sing like 2 lines with Auto Tone…..now Mariah did an ENTIRE song of Auto-Tone…and u LOVE IT???!!!!

    I agreee 100%.

  • Its ok :|

  • This song is awesome and shows how mariah is not just about pop. she really shows her other sides and im happy with the result.

  • you know what kills me all these opionated people who have all these oipnions about they dont like it for some reason or another
    and shes to old for songs like this and shes not singing songs like she used to when she first came out with songs like vision of love and all that

    first of al folks when mariah came out she was nineteen years old
    she is know 39 and as with anything ife change is natural i mean the woman can still blow ok she doesnt sound like a 19 yr old girl anymore but come on she can still sing and she s still relavant dare i say it she is more relevant than ms whitney(whom i love but she has to prove her self once again) hell shes even more relavant than micheal jackson and hes been in the game since the age if 6 and she still has more number ones than him ( although she hasnt scratched the surface of the jugenaut that is thriller) as she is the top selling female artist of all time she has sold more records than ashanti,beyonce,brandy,and yes girls even whitney houstoin has to humblely kiss her ass cause whitney although successful cant come close to sales and number one singles and albums as mariah !!! the facts never lie please yall go to bilboard.com and compare her sales as oppesed to whitney or anyone else for that matter

    i mean mariah at 39 is the hotteset in the game right know who cares about beyonce non singing ass have yall heard the board feed please people

    mariahs new song is cathy and if u listen to it without hateing on it and appricate it for what it is u will also see that anyone one can relate to being in this position of having someone be obsessed with them and spreading lies about them hello its called life or art immitating life i mean thats the whole purpose

    i mean lets be fair m&m fired the first shot after all these years i mean for what cause hes jadded and can’t take the fact that he cant get any woman of substance i mean mariah or anyone o of us for that matter has shit things that look better thean his tired homophobic ass and us girls already know what that means…………….

    i meanat this point mariah can just humm la la la through and entire sing and she can still wipe her ass with all our morgages and rents and be unbotherd

    and yes i am a mariah fan have been since vision of lve and she in my opinion keeps getting better with age i mean just enjoy is salvate cause yall are and when the album comes out its gonna be hot i mean the title alone has me ready to hear what this imperfact angel has to say ………………………
    the song is solid the lyrics are smart and on pint and we all know she talking about m&m retard ass

  • and ps the auto tune is not used as much as other artise use it dare i name a few kid cudi keri hilson,drake t pain and a few others we all no and hear everyday in the radio daily

  • i love it…autotune is the trend now lol

  • This song is hotness and it just grows on you. Mariah is still on fiyah 19 yrs in the game and still strong. Crappy Slime Shady can just kick rocks or kick the dang budket for all I care. Mariah is a true talent. I love her and what she is doing. That obsessed fool needs to let go and let God and just say no to drugs. “is it the Weed or is it the E!” POW MC doing the damn thing.

  • Great song…. it seems like the song is targeting Eminem?

  • I love this more and more with each listen. Mariah is unstoppable. She is in a league of her own. This is the music that is selling now. What was the last ballad that was #1? I just looked on wikipedia and the last balled to be #1 was “Take A Bow” by Rihanna and that was in May of last year and “Bleeding Love” was the only other #1 ballad of that year.

    If you so called fans followed MC you would know that her big ballad is coming up next. She said on her twitter she had to put this out first but she’s gonna give yall some “Butterfly” flavor coming up!

    I would like to know what artist the people who are hating on this song listen to? Prolly some lames selling less in a year than Mariah will sell in a week off this sh*t!!!

  • “Gasping for air/I’m ventilation” ??
    “Seeing right through you like you’re bathing in Windex” ??

    This song has easily some of the worst lyrics ive ever heard from her…or anyone. Next single better be fiya/useful!

    Damn, I only heard 5 seconds of it and I LOVE it!

  • not as good as i hoped! hope the second single is better mimi!

  • I love, love MC, but she did not come with it on this one…HATED IT!

  • This song is sheer perfection. Pure genious. I love it from sec 1. What a way to stay relevant and creative! Go Mimi!

  • lol all this negativity. its music dammit. its even catchy. quit being so damn negative. hate it or not its going to be a hit.

  • LOL for a couple reasons….

    This is NOT a fast club banger, it’s mid-tempo (idiots)

    Secondly, so the lyrics arent classicaly brilliant, but it’s 2009, you want old lady Mariah, try Emotions!

    It takes a certain ear and fan to appreciate Mariah present day. If you listen to a HQ version, as always – the vocal layering and harmonies are TIGHT, these new jacks aint up on that type of plushness….LOVE IT…Great song….if you want old school substanance go listen to Stephanie Mills and leave Mariah alone…

  • ps. about the pettyness of this being a diss track.

    It’s clear she’s talking about M&M, or so we think, but take him out of the equasion…..this stong still holds true about people obsessed with others…plus I like the fact that Mariah put it out there like that, she’s gangsta like that LOL…..Eminem better stick to dissing Britney and Christina cuz Mariah will write a song about your ass (or two!)

  • FIRST of all

    I’ve LOVED Mariah Carey since I was 8 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am now 27!!!! her birthday is two days after mine!!!!
    that’s soooo cool! anyways I think her new song is amazing
    of course! I love all of her songs I have my favorites but all
    of her songs mean a lot to me. They are all my favorites
    a few are very personal to me but I love each and everyone
    of her songs and I cannot say that about any other artist except a few
    Especially her. I LOVE MARIAH she’s amazing it’s crazy. I can still listen to her oldies and get goosebumps!!!!!

  • I’m a HUGE lamb and i LOVE mariah to death but this song is just not what i expected its extremely below her standards.. I could have understand if this was just a demo that didn’t make the album, but if this is on the album she should be ashamed of herself for lowering to eminem’s level! I just hope the other tracks will makeup for this shitty ’single’.

  • This song is hotter than the hottest volcanic lava!!!!

  • BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. No matter how you Lambs try to make excuses for her we all know this song is whack. I understand you love her so you love it. However the quality of Mariahs music doesnt live up to her hype. I asked several people ages 15-30 one question “Would you say Mary J Blige is classier than Mariah Carey” they all said yes. Seems like over the years shes actually degressed instead of progressed. I love Mariah because I have all her albums, but A LOT of her latest work doesnt hold a candle to the older stuff, and yes TEOM was a big album but why? because it was closer to her older material, and mature material than we’d seen before, thats what sold that record. It damn sure wasnt “Its Like That”

  • i loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Regina, get your facts straight, more #1 records and sales doesn’t make you more relevant. Whitney set the standard for female vocalist today, the same blueprint that mariah herself followed, thats relevance. And whitney is working on her sixth studio cd and mariah her eleventh, big different sales-wise.

  • Whitney is not relevant, sweetie. She will be when she has her album out again (hope it does really well), but when you are off the scene…..you are irrelevant.

    Whitney is indeed responsible for inspiring some of the R&B voices out nowadays…..BUT……that does not make her relevant.

    Hate it or love it, Mariah has been & (until she calls it quits) will continue to be relevant. That’s what you call an artist…..and not just a singer.

  • The Man….your post is very well stated…I don’t know why people keep acting as if sales is a verification of quality ….Back Street Boys & Nsync were selling 1 million albums in a week….does it make them better than the BEATLES…NO!!!! Mariah has like 12 albums….Whitney is on her 7th…and still up there as one of the biggest selling female artist of ALL time…and up there with artists with the MOST #1 singles….JUST IMAGINE IF WHITNEY HAD 12 ALBUMS?????!!!!!!

    Mariah relaesed an album in 2008…and is RUSHING to release in album in 2009…around the same time as Whitney…why??? Because Whitney is relevant!

  • TheMan, if sales and #1’s don’t measure relevance then what does? If my memory serves me correctly is has been around a decade since Whitney has had a hit on the radio. If i told my baby cousin Whitney Houston has an album coming out he would say who is Whitney Houston? If I played him a Mariah song he would say “my mommy and daddy like this too”. Whitney is a great singer, but it would be hard to argue that she is relevant in 2009 because there are not a lot people checking for Whitney Houston. The last thing i remember her doing was the “Being Bobby Brown” Show!!!

  • TheMan get your facts straight more #1 records and sales does make you relevant because if you keep going #1 almost 20 years in the game your friggin relevant! Whitney is NOT relevant! and she won’t be. That intoxicated woman has only set a standard vocally cause that’s all she brought in the 90’s, crack head doesn’t write or produce shit. She hasn’t been relevant for over a decade! Standards changed Mariah has always ran the game and set the bar she’s the only one that can break her own records and set new ones yet still stay relevant and look fine in the process. Get over Stop hatin on true talent cause Whitney wasted and abused hers with drugs. Who knows if she even gets a crack at the charts her voice ain’t golden its dusted and rusted. Mariah will get another #1 and break another record or two. Keeping crying over Whit cause she ain’t bringin shit.

  • WTF is this!!! what is the music world coming to? Good thing that whitney is coming out a week after…its pretty obvious that mariah has lost her voice…lets hope that the real voice (whitney) still has hers!

  • this is so elementary and below mariah. my daughter could do this and she is 5. mariah is following trends, not setting them like whitney will do when her new album comes out!!!! YEAH!!!

  • Isn’t mariah like 40?!?! whats up with the autotune, chessy, britney-esque song? Come on Whitney!!!! show the bitch how it’s done!!

  • Unimpressed with obsessed. Really Mariah, Really?
    I hope this is not the new single
    Snoring on this one.
    Still luv Mariah though.

  • I agree whole hearted with Joe…its Migrate meets killer effects…for me it’s FIRE!

  • This is my groove!!!
    She got eminem knocked out this time!!!

  • This is my groove!!
    Finally, a song that knocks out eminem!!!
    Lets give it up for MC

  • I bet half the people complaining about this song are over the age of 35 lol Number one MUSIC is changing like it always has and Mariah is doing what she has to do to make sure she has money in her pockets as the saying goes “Don’t hate the player, hate the GAME”. The lyrics may not be that good but the song is catch now if you want to listen to pure ignorance listen to Soulja Boy’s illiterate self. Number two please jump off the “I hate auto tunes” bandwagon half of y’all didn’t even know what it was until Jay Z made his little song to so lets not use it as a weapon against these artist. Did you like “Computer Love”? Case CLOSED.

  • To those who complimented Whitney’s sales and said “JUST IMAGINE IF WHITNEY HAD 12 ALBUMS?????!!!!!!”

    Who can guarantee that her 12 albums would sell out as much as Mariah? Yawnz. Don’t forget Just Whitney dropped out of the charts faster than you can pronounce her full name. AND… the fact that Mariah is able to command sales despite her high output does indeed say something about her relevance to the music scene!
