base talk Is this THE most legendary comeback in pop music history?

[Josh]

 

No MPG ever had a comeback better than this

[jezebelvictoria]

That’s who I came for. So yes. 

[idkwiam]

No Tina Turner's Private Dancer is. She won ROTY SOTY and according to CM it sold 35m units and it had a smash world tour. 

[Touchdown]

Yes.

[Ron Ng]

Ray of Light or The 20/20 Experience are more legendary

Private Dancer I fear. Mariah was declining before Emancipation, but miss Tina literally had nothing left when Private Dancer was made. Mariah always had the chance to rebound with quality work and she did. Tina's was never a sure bet and she had to put nose to the grindstone to make that happen.

We Belong Together is one of her most popular singles to date no one in 2023 remembers Suit & Tie

And who remembers WBT beside the gays though?

I love Mimi but Private Dancer wins. Mariah had had a few years of lesser success but she was still charting. Tina had...nothing in the late 70s and early 80s. Fell off the map. Mimi was flopping, but in that more modern pop girl way where people still know about it. It's not the same.

Surprised no one hasn't mentioned Blackout yet

It also scored ZERO #1s on the Hot 100 and fizzled out by the third single, which didn’t even chart on the Hot 100. 
 

The Emancipation of Mimi has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. The 20/20 Experience sold 6 million worldwide. Help me out with the math.

[GoatGly]

How’d I know it was gonna be Mimi before I even opened the thread 

 

OT: no Madonna’s Confessions was a better album and comeback

[alexrex]

 

The sophomore album by the indisputable Queen of Pop, Ava Max. 

 

Album of the Decade I fear 

[XtiRih]

Tina, Cher, Madonna>>

 

global albums vs local album

I despise Justin Timberlake for the most part but we're not gonna pretend one of the best male pop albums of the 21st century featuring a song like Mirrors which absolutely still thrives in the mainstream has been forgotten

Blackout is not even in the same league as TEOM. 
10 Grammy noms (3 wins), #1 song of the decade, actual writing and producing credits for Mariah, need I say more?
