Mariah Carey Christmas Tour Tickets Not Selling Due To Flopped 'Caution' Album

December 11. 2018

Mariah Carey

Last month pop singer Mariah Carey released a new album entitled "Caution" and it flopped on the charts and in the sales department. Now comes word her Christmas tour is flopping as well. The Daily Mail is reporting half of Carey's concert tickets are unsold. Christmas is Carey's favorite time of year, due to her decades old hit song "All I Want For Christmas Is You." However, you can only take that so far. Filling concert venues is quite another story. If her latest album had fared better with the public, ticket sales would be brisk.

Carey has been in the business for 28-years. She should have known better. She does know better, but is in denial and allowed herself to be carried away in a project that was not truly representative of who she is as a singer. When an album flops, events in a recording artist's career tends to suffer a domino effect, regarding related projects in that time frame, such as touring and merchandising sales.

The album is the lynchpin. If the album flops, everything else tends to do so as well. The recording artist then gets less for endorsements and tour ticket sales plunge. Only another hit will revive those numbers. Once again, Jay Z is to blame (Mariah Carey Album 'Caution' Flops On The Charts Confirming Previous Site Claims and Mariah Carey’s Comeback Songs 'GTFO' 'With You' And 'The Distance' Fizzle And Flop With Jay Z As Manager).
