Talk:Mariah Carey singles discography

message: Could somebody help add information of other promo singles. They used to be on the main discography things like "O Holy Night" and "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life" but all of it was removed. There was atleast 15. Jayy008 (talk) 17:59, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Why isn't this page semi-protected. When this was part of the one page Mariah Carey discography it was semi, because of the constant vandalism and numerical sales inflations. I believe that both the single and album discography should be semi-protected, to be safe from future sales and certification deflation & inflations.--Petergriffin9901 (talk) 01:01, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

message: What do Madonna and Whitney Houston have to do with the introduction stating " Mariah Carey has sold 17,172,000 physical singles and 11,120,000 digital tracks in the United States according to Nielson SoundScan leading the tally against Madonna and Whitney Houston..." If this is the case, then we should add "She is behind Madonna (37), The Beatles (34), Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder (28) for having the most Top 10 singles in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart."  This sounds fair, right?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.134.155.55 (talk) 16:30, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If you believe so, go to Madonna's article and write she holds the tally for most top 10 hits, ahead of Mariah Carey, The Beatles and Stevie Wonder.--PeterGriffin  • Talk  10:32, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Peter, you are being so illogical. Can you explain why it is necessary to compare her chart record with those of Whitne Houston or Madonna in the lead? Does her chart record not enough to speak for itself? Do you need to mention other female artists' names just to prove Mariah is an accomplished artist? Diphosphate8 (talk) 03:09, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

text: I have removed any mention of other artist? in the lead...lead should only contain info mentioned in article they are not. Now that i look closer it needs to be rewritten as there is mention of 10 different artist in this lead. I will ask i friend that does FA list to help us here. Dont worry  Peter your not alone here!!! LOL Moxy (talk) 03:13, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Let me explain once more. Now first, let any idea of favoring Mariah or Celine free from your minds, as I enjoy all talented female vocalists. Next, I understand if its Madonnas paghe and someone writes "Madonna is behind Mariah or Celine" as it is her page, so why mention it. But in her own page, you can mention artists shes ahead of. For example, if you want it makes sense to me to write in Madonnas article that she has more tope 10s than any other female, topping Mariah and janet, or something of teh sort.--PeterGriffin  • Talk  05:48, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

text: O well no edit war for me..i had fixed it up but  he reverted it ..o well when he as more experience he will understand there no need to mention them at all. i will however not let this happen on main article as its FA level. Moxy (talk) 05:50, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

text: I'm really not going to have a whole discussion/edit war over names, remove the names or keep them I don't care. Whats important to me are her sales/certifications, not the mention of Madonna.--PeterGriffin  • Talk  00:03, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Also the first sentance is not really appropriately written. It should use carey's full name, Mariah Carey.
Exactly, all her Billboard achievements have been littered here in the lead which need to be FIXED at once. If you're a Mariah fan, you may like to read it but for a regular Wikipedia reader, this is becoming so tiring as all you here is Billboard, Billboard and Billboard as if Mariah is known only for her accomplishment in the US charts, yet with so little mention of the worldwide success of her singles.

thread_title:  What does Madonna or Whitney have to do with this article? 

message: How come this has not been fixed yet? I still see names that are not even related to Mariah's accomplishments, such as The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Elvis Presley, Elton John, Whitney Houston, The Black Eyed Peas, Janet Jackson). Can't her achievements stand alone that we need to emphasis other recording artists? Mariah is successful in her own right. We do not need to mention others here. Wikipedia is not a chart race and it is supposed to be NEUTRAL. Diphosphate8 (talk) 23:39, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: And may I add that since you like putting ALL Mariah's achievements in Billboard, it is better to put In her 20 years in the music business, Mariah is ranked #6 over-all on the "Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists",making her the 2nd most successful female artist in the history of the chart. This is to show the neutrality of this article, since you mentioned she leads the tally in the Nielsen Soundscan era ahead of Whitney and Madonna. Diphosphate8 (talk) 23:46, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  So MANY artists mentioned in the lead! 

message: Even this singles discography of Mariah Carey is starting to look like a FANCRUFT. This has been discussed yet in her main page regarding the claim of "best selling female artist of all-time" sourced from fan websites, without a reliable source to back it up. The lead is again full of Billboard craps without even mention of Mariah being ranked #6 among Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists, which is of course noteworthy to mention, even beating out some senior acts (e.g., Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston) though there's no need to mention their names as this article is about Mariah.

thread_title:  Top-selling female artist of all time?  

message: I've just made some changes that I thought would improve the tables. One of these edits was to separate cells that had been merged. "Without You" and "Never Forget You" had been merged in both US columns, "Breakdown" and "My All" had been merged in the US R&B column, "Crybaby" and "Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)" shared a cell in the Hot 100, and "Shake It Off" and "Get Your Number" had been merged in the UK column. I split them all to improve readability.
Then, while checking the Swiss peaks against the reference, I noticed two things:
#I hadn't actually split all the merged cells the way I thought I had; I actually missed several of them; and
#One of the pairs I missed was "Never Too Far" and "Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica)", which are paired not only in the Swiss column, but on four other charts. The Swiss ref shows this as "Never Too Far / Don't Stop" at 65, so I realize I may have messed things up with my clever splitting.
Are these A-side/B-side pairs? Or what's going on here? If they're rated together on one chart, shouldn't they be combined on all the charts? And if so, they should be one line in our tables. I'm sorry I don't know about this, and sorry if I've mucked things up by trying to make things clearer. Please let me know what to do about these pairs (or undo my changes yourself). Sorry for the muddle. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 13:36, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey John. SO I don't actually fully understand what you did (though in norm, it looks basically the same). I am not sure if they were A or B sides, what I can tell you is I believe its simply coincidental that they reached a few of the same positions throughout the world.--PeterGriffin  • Talk  15:07, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

message: ...is a mess. 
*Most of the songs listed there weren't released as promo singles, but were album cuts that charted due to airplay. 
*Some promo singles are completely missing from the page (ie. Lead The Way, Do You Know Where You're Going To)
*Some promo singles (for some reason) are listed in the main singles section (ie. Underneath The Stars, U Like This)
*"So Lonely" was released credited to "Twista featuring Mariah Carey", not "Mariah Carey featuring Twista" so it belongs in the "other appearances" section
*"Right To Dream" WAS released commercially, so it belongs in the main singles section, not the promo section.
Also, "I Know What You Want" should be listed in the "other appearances" section, since it was released as "Busta Rhymes featuring Mariah Carey" and not "Mariah Carey featuring Busta Rhymes". AND Charmbracelet should NOT be listed as the album IKWYW is taken from, since it's not on the standard release. Same for "Never Too Far/Hero Medley" and Greatest Hits.

replies: text: This issue is unclear to me. The lead paragraph to the article All I Want for Christmas Is You says, "Written and produced by Carey and Walter Afanasieff, the song was released as the lead single from the album on October 29, 1994 by Columbia Records." But later down, at All I Want for Christmas Is You#Chart performance, it says, "The song was ineligible for inclusion on the Billboard Hot 100 during its original release, because it was not released commercially as a single in any physical format." As of Dec. 5, 1998, Billboard changed its chart policies to allow album cuts not released as singles to hit the Hot 100, but the song didn't hit the chart until the following Christmas season, in the Jan. 8, 2000 issue of Billboard. On that chart, it was listed as "Columbia Album Cut" indicating that it had not been released as a single, and in the same issue, Fred Bronson's Chart Beat column said, "The 1994 recording wasn't eligible until the chart policy changed to allow album tracks on the list." Maybe in 1994 the song was provided to radio stations as a promotional single, but it was not available as a commercial single to the general public. It's clear when "All I Want for Christmas Is You" first hit the Hot 100 (January 8, 2000), but not when it was first available as a single to the (United States) public, whether that was a vinyl, cassette, CD, or digital single. The song might have been released as a single outside the U.S. without being available in the U.S. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:20, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
