Songs to Movie Section[edit]

I was thinking that this could use a bit of a clean-up; make it look a bit more appealing and professional? (Tyrannitar 23:09, 10 July 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Info box titling.[edit]

The lead info and the discography article identify Glitter as Mariah's 8th studio album, so technically the Info box should say Eighth studio album as well. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 01:30, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is her eight studio album, and the soundtrack to Glitter, which takes precedence in terms of formatting. However, it is both.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 01:32, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I know it's both. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 01:34, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Departure From Virgin[edit]

This is not meant in an angry way at all. I keep changing these untruths and these untruths keep reappearing. Under the Departure From Virgin section, as well as somewhere else in the article, it states that Mariah Carey signed a $100 million deal with Virgin Records. She did not sign a $100 million deal. For those reading this, I wanted you all to know the truth and maybe one day the administrator of this article would make the necessary changes so that the article reflects the truth. Since Wikipedia is an internet encyclopedia, it is supposed to reflect the truth and not have any misleading statements. Here is the truth: Mariah Carey was signed to Columbia Records. Under her contract, she still had one more album that she had to deliver to Columbia. The head of Columbia, Tommy Motorola, also Carey's former husband, now had a very bad relationship with Carey. He wanted her off the label and Carey wanted to leave the label. Virgin Records had a plan. Virgin stepped in and offered Columbia Records $20 million to let Carey out of her Columbia contract early, meaning Carey would not have to deliver another album to Columbia, and would be released from her Columbia contract. Virgin's plan would then have Carey sign an $80 million - four album deal with Virgin. Columbia Records agreed to the $20 million payment from Virgin, Columbia received the payment and thus released Carey from her contract. Carey then signed with Virgin for an $80 million - four album deal as Virgin had structured. Now, because Virgin paid Columbia $20 million to release Carey, and then Virgin signed Carey to a contract for $80 million, and the fact that some media outlets construed reports by stating "Carey signs deal valued at $100 million", this has erroneous led to some people believing Carey signed Carey a $100 million dollar contract for herself. She did not. She signed an $80 million contract. The other $20 million went to Columbia and that is not Carey's money; she has no access to it, it is not in her bank account, it belongs to another entity. Incidentally, around this time, Whitney Houston signed what would become the world's largest recording contract; a $100 million - five album contract. Houston's contract was bigger than Carey's contract ($100 million vs $80 million) but the contracts were the same when viewed on a per-album-basis as Houston was to deliver five albums and Carey was to deliver four albums, which breaks down to $20 million paid per album to Houston and Carey from each of their respective labels (Houston would get an additional $20 million to deliver one more album). I don't know why this Wikipedia article continues to give out incorrect information, but it hurts the reputation of Wikipedia, and plays into the hands of people who say that you can't trust what you read on Wikipedia. I believe Wikipedia can be better than this, and not simply revert articles back to how they were without verifying it the changes made now reflect the truth and that the original comments were erroneous. I really dislike when someone attempts to play with your mind and act as though you do not know the truth. Also, the L.A. Times has the correct information on this subject. Just Google "Carey Reportedly Signs 4-Album $80-Million Virgin Records Deal" and you will see the truth. This could be added on as a link in the article. I have on several occasions changed this article to reflect that Carey signed an $80 million - four album deal only to see it revert back to her signing a $100 million - five album deal, which is not true. I hope Wikipedia can change these untrue statements in the article so it can further its mission of bringing accurate and truthful information to readers. 174.78.6.133 (talk) 21:35, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
