Carey’s fans have frequently used social media to get the diva’s previous releases back in the charts – back in 2018, the #JusticeForGlitter trend saw the star’s soundtrack album top the U.S. iTunes rundown, while the singers fanbase – known as the Lambily – also rallied to get her holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas is You” to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 last year – giving Carey her 19th U.S. number one.

Upon waking up to the news, Mariah wrote on Twitter, “What is going on?????” along with a string of various emojis. She added, “So OVERWHELMED by this moment! Thank you #lambily for always lifting my spirits and giving me life.. Love you forever.”
The star went on to tease she planned to “celebrate” the accomplishment with a “singing moment,” and asked fans to send requests from the album for her to perform.
