CEO Of Def Jam Comment on Mariah Carey Low Album Sales!

In a recent interview with ‘Billboard Biz‘, Steve Bartels said of Mariah’s ‘Chanteuse’:

Listen, sometimes an artist — and in the case of Mariah, an artist I’ve worked with for 10 years — makes an amazing album that just doesn’t connect with the audience. Of course that is very disappointing, but it would be impossible to pinpoint that down to just one thing. I’ve enjoyed incredible success with Mariah and many of those hit songs and albums have made Billboard history. But this latest effort just didn’t go all the way.

Well sometimes you, sometimes you loose at the end of the day they both be fine.

Happy to hear that my girl Xtina aka Christina Aguilera is heading back to NBC ‘The Voice’ season 8.

After putting her work on hold to commit to mommy duties, the singer is set to return to the NBC singing contest, before the release of her Urban-kissed new album.

Her return to the series for its eighth season will mark the first time she has worked on it alongside Pharrell Williams, who joined the series to replace the axed CeeLo Green, and will see her reclaim her position from singer Gwen Stefani, with whom she shares a manager.

Who else is ready for Christina A. To be back?
