I doubt it
If your not a member on this board, you wouldn't even know she had one out. It's already sold poor in the US with just 56k sold. |

It's a Christmas album released in November. It won't start selling until the end of nov/ early December. Her first Xmas album was released in the same week of November and opened with 45k it went on to sell over 15 million copies over the years.
I'm getting my copy later on today. Why aren't you getting it? Don't you like it ?? |

Haven't given it a try but Xmas albums are cons. Every year 2/3 artists bring out an xmas album with the same songs that have for years and years been covered. I don't get pulled in with stuff like that. Not being a scrooge but christmas music bores me anyway. I only make an exception to All i want for christmas.
I’ve heard nothing but great things about this album you should definitely check it out when you get the chance. |

What sets Mariah apart from the rest is that her albums are a mix of original and traditional songs. On the new one she covered some of the less popular songs like “Here Comes Santa Clause” and “Charlie Brown” and not the typical “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”, “The Christmas Song” etc

They only had 2 of the one with the DVD in the shop and they didn't know where it was, they had to hunt about the shop for half an hour to find it. But thankthully they did. Can't wait to listen to it and watch the DVD. |

Really like Oh Santa! but tbh it's too early for me to buy/listen to a full Xmas album, I might get hold of it in the coming weeks

This album is, for lack of a better word, beautiful!
You know how there have been songs in her past few albums since emancipation, where people say 'oh, she sings the way she used to', but turns out that it's just not the case? Well in this one, she ACTUALLY is!! The album is worth buying alone, for the opening first minute of Auld Lang Syne, where she just sings without any of the bull**** that's been going on with her vocal choices in the past few years. Truely, just straight down the line, plain singing! A real pleasure to listen to. 'When Christmas Come' genuinely has that old school R&B jam feel to it from the Butterfly album, and 'Underneath the Stars'. Great melody (an actual melody yes!), fantastic feel to the song. All her other songs are truly her best vocal performances since emancipation. The production is a bit wishy washy and saccharine at times, but her voice is the most back to basics I've heard in years, (despite it clearly sounding a lot thinner than what we are used to). |

The album is a stunning piece of work, there are some truly beautiful and epic songs. And her voice is out of this world she is singing her heart out and sounds gorgeous. I already have so many faves.

This album is amazing! Her best vocals since The Emancipation of Mimi without a doubt!
The covered classics are done so beautiful, Mariah's arrangements are incredible. There are some big vocal moments which is always a good thing, she holds a whistle for 14 seconds on the song with her mother, and she also sustains a C5 earlier in the song. |
