    Yesterday I found out that, far beyond being aware of the phenomenon (because how could she or anyone in the US NOT?), she actively celebrates it!

    She calls this time “Mariah szn” 🤮

      If you got royalties everytime your 30 year old song was played, wouldn’t you promote it to death?

        Nah, at a certain point you don’t need any more money and it’s just pathological hoarding.

        As a hectomillionaire three times over, she probably passed that point before she even released that particular song.

          spoken like a true poors.

          right up there with “money can’t buy happiness”.

          you’re right, at some point it’s not about the money. it’s about the legacy.
