Mariah Carey has fans counting down the days until September 26. The queen surprised everyone this weekend when she confirmed that her 16th studio album is on the way. Everyone's ready to listen to what she's been cooking up in the kitchen, including her ex-husband Nick Cannon.
Carey has been dropping some amazing promo, and on Sunday, she shared a reel celebrating her discography. The clip highlighted all 15 of her past albums, and now, we’re officially on the road to #MC16. The last album she released was her fifteenth studio album, Caution, in November 2018.
With a heartbeat and clips from some of her biggest songs she's made over the decades, it was epic. The top liked comment was from Nick, who left seven fire emojis, writing, “Greatest Of All Time!!!”
On Monday, she revealed the title of the album: Here For It All.
Carey has already released her lead single from the album, "Type Dangerous," back in June. She co-wrote and co-produced the single alongside Anderson. Paak, her rumored boyfriend. It debuted at number 95 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, becoming her 50th song on the chart.
As for what song she's going to drop next? She's teasing a song called "Sugar Sweet." On Saturday, she shared a video of her making a tasty baked good in a shimmering bubble gum pink dress. She was dripping in gems and diamonds, and the song sounds like a banger.
Nick's everlasting love of Mariah
Nick and Mariah separated in 2014 after saying "I do" in 2008 and share 14-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, and still have a good relationship. While she has seemingly moved on with Anderson .paak, Nick has welcomed 10 more children with five other women.
But that hasn't stopped him from talking about Mariah. In 2022, he even declared, “I will never have a love like I had with Mariah,” and said getting back together is his “fantasy.” “That’s my fantasy right there, that’s somebody I will always love.”
As recently as August 2024, he said it would be "stupid" not to get back together with her if he had the chance. Nick seems to know that the ship has sailed, though. “Yeah, she doesn’t want me,” he told PEOPLE in September 2024. “She’s moved on from my crazy antics.”
So as the countdown begins for Carey's next album, we know Nick is going to be one of the first people pressing play.
