Mariah Carey Plots New Album For March Release, Plans Massive TV Promo
Written by Trent | Filed under Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey does everything big and she is using the same approach for the promotion of her new album. In fact, the record won’t even be released until March 2013 so that its debut will coincide with the larger than life diva’s plans to launched a major media campaign.
According to Billboard, Carey’s new album has been tentatively set for a March release, just in time for the new season of ‘American Idol’, in which she will serve as a judge, to reach full swing. Her manager, Randy Jackson, confirmed that Carey will premiere the Nick Cannon-directed video for her LP’s lead single, ‘Triumphant (Get ‘Em) (Ft. Rick Ross & Meek Mill)’, within the coming weeks.
Additionally, Carey has arranged a “big performance” for television that will also air within the coming weeks. There is no word regarding if that impending showing will be of ‘Triumphant’ or another new song from her album. Further info is expected to be shared prior to the event.
Thus far, ‘Triumphant’ has gotten off to a slow start iTunes where it peaked at #38 within the first 24 hours of its release. The song will impact Urban radio on August 13th, and its accompanying Vintage Throwback Remix and Pulse Club Remix will be available on iTunes on August 14th.
————————————————————————–
Doesn’t the handling of Carey’s project seem strikingly similar to Mary J. Blige’s ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues’? Think about it: just like ‘Triumphant’, Blige’s ‘Someone to Love Me (Naked) (Ft. Diddy & Lil Wayne)’ was released several months before her album hit stores (March vs November).
Yet, Carey has more resources at her disposal for promotion, thanks to ‘Idol’, so hopefully her album sales will be more impressive than those of Blige (‘My Life II’ has yet to top 700K copies in US sales). Of course, if she plans to hop on the ‘Idol’ stage with a squad of Rick Ross‘ goons then that plan will back fire because conservative middle American has no tolerance for that nonsense.
Thoughts?

8 more months?! *slits wrists*
I’m hoping that the video is for one of the remixes….
at least we have answers now… seemed odd they dropped triumphant then things went quiet
I’m happy she put a lil something out for us fans. Let her take all the time she needs to craft a masterpiece. I have a feeling the “big performance” has something to do with Obama.
well that’s disappointing!!
all this hype for triumphant as the LEAD single and even YOU trent confirmed from that call you were on that this was the LEAD single. now it’s a ‘buzz’ single.
ONE performance is a “Massive TV Promo?”
Aw ok …
Well at least mary sold that much. I think her album sells are good. Alot of great artists like her cant even sell that.
Plus I know shes not done till after 3 more singles.
But I jus knew I was gettinv mariah album this yr lol.(” Silly of me. Devoted so much time ”
She may be performing for mtv. The thing is she didn’t ever give a concrete date on when the album was dropping. This is an advanced single. This is something simply for her fans. Furthermore, this isn’t regurgitated pop. Why would u expect an urban song that didn’t go for adds yet to be instant on the charts… The other artists singles fly up the charts because they have an album out, and hit singles prior to that. You should know that seeing as though u are the main one saying that she’s an airplay artist. She’s intelligent, she’s not gonna bring Rick Ross and company on that show to perform that song.
Also, Mary didn’t ever say that “STLM” was her official single, that was more of a buzz/diddy kinda single.
dead. a buzz single. what artist needs a buzz single in 2012?
what artist needs american idol to sell records? one that isn’t as successful as they used to be. and that’s a fact. lambs as soon you come to terms with this, the better you will feel.
triumphant was a massive failure. lyrically, musically, vocally it sucked in every area.
mariah doesn’t have it anymore and this album will flop. plain and simple.
I knew once Try-um-u-cunt was going to flop when I heard it. It’s a wrap for Mariah. A ‘buzz’ single is another word for FLOP!
The fact that she even pushed this album back so far is an indication that the material on it sucked (we can tell by Triumphant). Mariah has no buzz and she her team realized they have to go back and re-craft the album due to its bad reception of the first single, becuase probably every song on the album sound like Triumphant. I know how this business works
One single does not defy an entire album. Are you all that silly that you would think that her entire album would sound like this one single??? That’s a hater for u… This song is leaps and bounds better than all of the crap out now… If you’re album doesn’t come out soon enough, you just wanna give the fans something to hold them over. The haters are always looking for something to hate on…….
