Performer and songwriter Mariah Carey made a personal appearance at Gotham Hall in Manhattan this morning, where she joined fellow artists to announce nominees for the upcoming 48th annual Grammy Awards – and then went on to collect 8 nominations herself (tied for the highest number of nominations this year), it was announced by Antonio “L.A.” Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group.
Mariah’s 5x-platinum Island Records album, The Emancipation Of Mimi, which has sold more than 7 million copies worldwide, generated Grammy Award nominations across the board in several areas. Grammy winners will be announced on Wednesday, February 8, 2006, at Staples Center in Los Angeles, broadcast on the CBS television network (and around the world), 8:00-11:30 p.m. (EST/PST).
Mariah’s Grammy Awards nominations follow her recent string of wins at the VIBE Awards, the American Music Awards – and earlier this week at the 2005 Billboard Music Awards, where she was named Top R&B Singles Artist - Female, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Artist - Female, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Artist - Female, and Top Overall Albums Artist - Female, with “We Belong Together” named the #1 Hot 100 Single Of the Year.
Sights are now set on the historic December 13th Internet retail roll-out of the current #2 Hot 100 Airplay smash, “Don’t Forget About Us.” Written by Mariah Carey and produced by Jermaine Dupri and Mariah Carey, and mixed by Phil Tan and Jermaine Dupri, “Don’t Forget About Us” is currently available only as a physical single or one of the four new tracks on THE EMANCIPATION OF MIMI: ULTRA PLATINUM EDITION. In an unprecedented release, “Don’t Forget About Us” will now be available as a digital download in five different remixes, each one exclusive to a separate digital retailer:
iTunes: “Don’t Forget About Us Remix featuring Juelz Santana & Bone Thugs-N-Harmony” 3:32, the original album version)
MSN Music: “Don’t Forget About Us (Ralphi and Jody DB Anthomic Dub)” (11:43), remix produced, programmed & engineered by Ralphi Rosario;
Napster:“Don’t Forget About Us (Dance Floor Anthem) (Tony Moran & Warren Rigg)” (9:32), remixed by Tony Moran & Warren Rigg;
Real/Rhapsody:“Don’t Forget About Us (Ralphi Rosario and Craig Martini Vocal)” (7:41), remix produced, programmed & engineered by Ralphi Rosario & Craig J. Snider;
Yahoo! Music Engine: “Don’t Forget About Us (Quentin Shelter Anthem Mix)” (12:29), a Quentin Harris re-production.
(Note: AOL Music will also have the exclusive stream of the iTunes remix.)
The first-time digital roll-out of “Don’t Forget About Us” expands Mariah’s sales presence on the Internet, where cumulative ring-tone downloads of MIMI’s three singles – “We Belong Together,” “Shake It Off,” and “Don’t Forget About Us” – have surpassed the 2 million mark.
Mariah’s sweep of the 2005 Billboard Music Awards follows her recent wins at last month’s 33rd annual American Music Awards (where was voted Favorite Soul/Rhythm & Blues Female Artist by the 20,000 record-buyers whose votes determine the winners); and 3rd annual VIBE Awards, where Mariah won for Artist Of The Year, Album Of The Year, R&B Voice Of The Year, and Best R&B Song for “We Belong Together,” the most awards won by any individual artist this year.
