Mariah Carey has announced her new album, Here For It All.

The 56-year-old pop diva will share her first album since 2018's Caution with the world on September 26.

She captioned a teaser clip on Instagram on Monday (21.07.25): "Here For It All [butterfly emoji] My new album out 9/26 [butterfly emoji] Pre-order now!"

It will include the previously released lead single, Type Dangerous.

On July 20, Mariah posted a video that celebrated her albums, beginning with MC1 - her 1990 self-titled debut LP - through to Caution.

At the end of the 37-second video montage, the Obsessed hitmaker displayed the text "MC16", and on X, the clip showed the title "MC16 - Announcement Tomorrow".

On her Instagram Stories, Mariah posted the same clip, but with a frozen countdown ticker, which displayed “19:06:42".

The icon's tease of a new album came the day after she previewed the new single, Sugar Sweet.

Mariah gave her fans a sneak peek into the light-hearted track - which features the lyrics: "Imma keep it nice, Imma keep it neat, Imma keep it sugar, Imma keep it sweet" - in a video of her baking something in a kitchen on July 19.

In June, Mariah achieved an impressive milestone with one of her hit songs.

Over 500 million people listened to 1995 track Fantasy on the music streaming platform, Spotify.

Fantasy was Mariah's ninth Number One single on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it spent eight weeks at the top from September 30 to November 18, 1995.

It was also the first single, by a female artist, to debut atop the chart, and only the second single to do so after You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson.

Mariah has now got four songs that have reached this milestone, with the others being the 1994 holiday classic All I Want For Christmas Is You, which has been streamed over two billion times, 2005's We Belong Together, which has been listened to over 777 million times, and 2009's Obsessed, which has totted almost 600 million streams.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Land Over $300 Million From Catalog Sale

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have reportedly sold their recorded music catalog to Warner Music Group in a massive deal valued at more than $300 million.

The agreement arrives five years after the legendary rock band sold their publishing rights in a separate deal worth around $150 million. According to reports from The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard, the band’s recorded catalog, which includes 13 studio albums and nine releases distributed through Warner Music Group, was officially acquired on Friday for more than double the amount of the earlier publishing sale.

The acquisition is said to be part of a much larger partnership between Warner Music Group and Bain Capital. Together, the companies have reportedly spent around $650 million acquiring music and publishing assets, with the Red Hot Chili Peppers catalog making up nearly half of that total. Details regarding the remaining acquisitions have not yet been disclosed.

Back in May 2021, the Red Hot Chili Peppers sold their publishing rights to Hipgnosis Songs Fund for approximately $150 million. However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, those rights could soon change hands again as Hipgnosis, now operating under the name Recognition Music Group, is currently being acquired by Sony Music as part of another multi billion dollar transaction.

The band’s recorded catalog had reportedly been available on the market since last year with an asking price close to $350 million. Warner Music Group was widely viewed as the most natural buyer considering the label has worked with the band since the release of 1991’s Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Before joining Warner, the group’s first four albums were released through EMI.

Financially, the catalog remains extremely valuable, reportedly generating around $26 million in annual revenue. Ownership of the recordings had remained with the band prior to this latest agreement.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers most recently released Unlimited Love and its companion album Return of the Dream Canteen in 2022. At the time of reporting, neither the band nor Warner Music Group had publicly commented on the catalog acquisition.
