Mariah Carey announced that she is planning a “Beyonce” style album drop. Carey has been working on her 14th album since 2010, according to BillBoard.
Carey revealed that she will unveil the title of her album, track list, artwork and music all at the same time. She has not yet said through what digital partners (i.e. iTunes).
Carey says that she will do it this way because she has to be the one to reveal the title and music. She says that the title is part of an entity that she’s had her entire life.
Collaborators such as Rodney Jerkins and Dupri have come back to help Carey with the 14th album and release. Other producers such as Hit-Boy andMike Will Made It have also helped Carey in this process. There are also guest features on the album like, Wale, Nas and Trey Songz as well as Larry Gold and the Love Unlimited Orchestra. There was also one person who Carey teased that she could not reveal.
“This is my life since we last left off, “Carey says. “Just picture a dot dot dot then the album.”

10. In 1995, Carey released “Fantasy” from the album Daydream and it was a hit! The song was fun and cheery and quite sassy. It was easy for people to sing along to and another #1 hit for Mariah.

9. In 1990, Carey gave us “Someday” from the album Mariah Carey. Because it is 1990, there are 80s beats and her vocals are killin’ it, as usual.

8. “Honey,” also from the album Butterfly, hit a #1 spot in 1997. After years and years of ballads, Carey steps out of the comfort zone and gives the public the sassy, diva Mariah we all know we this R&B/Pop Track.

5. “We Belong Together” from the album The Emancipation of Mimi was Mimi’s return into the 2000s. It is actually known as the #1 song of the 2000s decade because it was so well-received by everyone and seen as the queen coming back into the spotlight.

3. “Always Be My Baby” from the album Daydream will always be a Carey favorite! She was young, we were young, and her song was about love, innocence. It really makes you feel that feeling of young love, magical.

2. Who could forget “Touch My Body” from the album E=MC2. It was a little silly when it came out. This is her most recent #1 single. She was 38, but people were drooling over her when she sang those words!

1. When “Obsessed came out in the 2009 track, everyone was kind of like, who is this girl and what has she done with Mariah? We knew Mariah from the 90s and she was nothing like the girl who said, “And I was like, why you so obsessed with me?” Obsessed is on the top ten because not only was is the last we heard from Mariah, but it also showed a side of her we had not seen before.
