Never Too Far[edit]

I can't find this song online any where! At least a place that will play the whol song. This is an amazing song and she shows so much emotion. I hate that I acnt find it!

Had to make a correction. Never Too Far actually made #81 on the Billboard Hot 100. I had to make that. I just checked Billboard's website and that is what it said when I clicked on Never Too Far after I typed Mariah Carey in the search engine on Billboard.com and clicked on "Songs" and I kept until I found Never Too Far and clicked on it. It gave me the chart information on it on there.

I just thought that I would share. Frschoonover (talk) 01:07, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

General

One dead link

Fixed

For the producers in the info box, just surnames is okay because writers are written in full above.
Pop and R&B are unsourced and appear nowhere else in the article. So they either need to be sourced or removed.
There's a bit of a debate going on at the moment about the usage and application of the term singer-songwriter, so I think for the time being it would be best to write singer and songwriter.
I'd write that it is her first soundtrack in addition to her eighth studio album
in October 23 2001, → on October 23, 2001,
of Carey's previous single → of one of Carey's previous singles
"Nver Too Far" attracted → typo there
"Nver Too Far" attracted positive reviews from critics. → Need to say something they said to support this.
The single failed to make much impact on the US charts; however, it reached the top forty → The single did not make much impact on the U.S. charts; however, it did reach the top forty
Though having not promoted the single, Carey promoted → That doesn't make sense
through live performances. → Such as?
The song was written and produced by Carey and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and was released → Lots of "and" here
and was released as the second single → and it was released as the second single
Again, I'd write that it is her first soundtrack in addition to her eighth studio album
According to Chuck Taylor from Billboard Carey singing the lyrics with → This doesn't make sense, there needs to be a pause.
The block quote in the medley section doesn't need quotation marks because it's already indented as a block quote.
The chart table needs to have the Country column shaded so it's marked up properly.
Are there no release dates available that could go into a chart?

I don't think so.
